In this Episode: Lisa addresses, “Why Let Go, Lean in” …
She starts the episode by sharing that she used to be an elementary school teacher and shares a story about teaching her students early science: they studied caterpillars that transformed into butterflies. Perhaps you remember: the chrysalis after a period of time, through the shaking and wiggling back and forth there’s a crack and then out of the struggle of transformation, that chrysalis becomes a beautiful butterfly. The point? Through the struggle and transformation comes growth and beauty.
For many of us there is a struggle in letting go – but Lisa asks the big question: “what are we letting go of?” Perhaps self-limiting beliefs, or expectations that we have believed to be truths of our leadership, our way of life….
In this episode, Lisa talks with her listeners about letting go of doing it all, especially as women who often wear many hats at the same time. She touches on Proverbs 31, and encourages you to join her in a breathing exercise which is something you can add to your transformational leadership tool-belt.
Bottom line:
Let go of the idea that we can do it all. Continue to refine your awareness. So friends, now is the time to Let go, & Lean in.
Lisa’s word of encouragement: You need to make time to be filled up before you are poured out for others. Make a time of quiet with Jesus a priority everyday.
