Sonnie on the Bold Lounge Podcast
Send us a text What does it truly mean to be bold? For Sonnie Linebarger, boldness begins not with action but with "exploration of what's possible for ourselves"—a mindset shift that transformed her life journey from CNA to CEO. In this powerful conversation from The Bold Lounge podcast, I share my personal evolution through healthcare leadership, entrepreneurship, and my current role as CEO of Cadre Hospice. The path wasn't linear—it included corporate burnout, a period of recalibration as an entrepreneur, and ultimately finding a leadership position aligned with my deepest values. The turning point in my journey came at age 35 when I discovered personal development and realized I wasn't limited by my circumstances. Growing up with a single parent in poverty, I had accepted a fixed mindset about what was possible for my life. That mental breakthrough unleashed possibilities I never imagined existed. One of the most valuable lessons I learned was identifying my non-negotiables—especially prioritizing family alongside professional ambition. This shift required redefining success itself, moving beyond titles and compensation to measure my impact and fulfillment in both professional and personal realms. Success became less about climbing ladders and more about creating meaningful change while honoring my core values. For anyone contemplating their own bold moves, start by exploring those "wild thoughts" you'd never say aloud. Write them down in present tense, take small steps outside your comfort zone, and watch how these micro-actions build momentum. Remember: "You're only confined by your own limitations, by what you think in your own mind." Ready to explore what's possible in your life? Listen now and discover how changing your thoughts can transform not just your career, but your entire future.

Leigh shares practical strategies for women to step into their authentic power while maintaining balance in both personal and professional life. We explore: How to redefine boldness in a way that feels authentic rather than aggressive The five myths of bold, including the misconception that boldness must be "big and loud" Breaking the cycle of perfectionism and its impact on productivity The value of intentional calendar management and meeting effectiveness Practical boundary-setting techniques for both work and personal life The role of community in supporting bold moves and authentic leadership Current challenges and opportunities in women's leadership 🔑 Key takeaways: True boldness is often found in quiet, personal moments rather than social media-worthy actions Productivity should be measured by alignment with your vision, not by how busy you are The "curse of the competent" - high performers often receive more responsibilities without additional resources Effective boundary setting begins with recognizing your own role in creating blurred boundaries Women still struggle with apologizing for ambition and downplaying accomplishments Setting boundaries is not a passive act - it requires intention and consistent reinforcement Believing in yourself is the foundation for any meaningful change or bold action 💡 Quotes to remember: "The boldest moments really for me, and a lot of the women, are quiet ones... how they're talking to themselves or how they're talking themselves out of something." - Leigh Burgess "I used to be like, 'I'm in 12 hours of back-to-back meetings' and I thought that was something cool to say... but wow, what a cost." - Leigh Burgess "You cannot do one thing that doesn't affect the other. A lot of women think, 'I'm doing this over here, but it's not going to affect my personal life'... they absolutely are linked." - Leigh Burgess "I used to call that the curse of the competent, meaning, like, the better you do, the more you can do, the more you get." - Leigh Burgess "We still need to get better at sharing our wins. Don't apologize for being ambitious." - Leigh Burgess "You are the one that has to believe in you before anyone else... ultimately that is what should be driving your action, is your belief of what is possible." - Leigh Burgess 🌟 Featured Insights: How to use the Vision Builder tool to clarify goals an

Send us a text 🎧 Episode 157: Mind, Body & Leadership with Brynn Scarborough (Part 2) In this continuation of our conversation with Brynn Scarborough, President and CEO of JK Products & Services North America, we dive deeper into practical wellness strategies and the psychological aspects of leadership. Brynn shares her personal routines, the power of journaling, and why vulnerability might be a leader's greatest strength. We explore: The transformative power of "I am" statements and gratitude journaling How to manage pressure and expectations as a woman leader The importance of sustainable wellness practices rather than "running the tank until destroyed" Non-negotiable daily routines that keep high-performing leaders at their best Why asking for help requires courage and persistence, especially in a hybrid work environment Creating psychological safety for yourself and your team The value of learning from failures rather than successes 🔑 Key takeaways: Journaling creates a tangible record of growth that helps you appreciate your evolution Reframing self-talk from "I should" to "I am" can reprogram your brain through subliminal priming Sustainable wellness means finding practices you enjoy that can be easily integrated into your life Sleep, hydration, supplements, and consistent movement form the foundation of daily wellness Women often hesitate to ask for help due to fear of rejection or appearing vulnerable True leadership is demonstrated by how you get back up after falling, not how you succeed Life is short—focus on what truly matters rather than temporary discomforts or anxieties 💡 Quotes to remember: "We have so many mental blocks about sounding arrogant that words will not even escape our mouths." - Brynn Scarborough "Your team doesn't really need to see you succeed. What they learn from is when they see you get knocked down and how you get back up." - Brynn Scarborough "The emotional energy that we invest in the avoidance is so much heavier than just confronting the thing." - Brynn Scarborough "Life is short. Do the thing that scares you. You won't care about whether you felt comfortable in the boardroom at the end of your life." - Brynn Scarborough 🌟 Featured Insights: How to develop a flexible rather than rigid approach to wellness routines The importance of creating psychological safety for authentic leadership Why teams need to "struggle well together" rather than avoid challenges The courage to have difficult conversations and why it's a critical leadership skill Using life's brevity as a barometer for decision-making 📚 Connect with Brynn: LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/brynns

Courage Over Comfort: Listening to God's Nudges
Send us a text Ever hesitated to offer a kind word, fearing it might come off as awkward? I did too, until a recent hike taught me a valuable lesson. In this episode of Evoke Greatness, I share a recent personal encounter Picture this: I am out on the mountain and I feel a nudge from God in my heart to encourage a fellow hiker I was passing on the trail...but when the moment came, I chickened out. I was disobedient. I immediately felt God say, what if when you needed me to pour into you, I got too scared. He convicted my heart in that very moment. That day He gave me second chance. He allowed me to cross paths with her again. I jumped at the opportunity and that small act of kindness lit up their day in a way I never imagined. This experience was a powerful reminder that when God puts something on our hearts, we need to act. It doesn’t matter if it’s messy, awkward, or scary. Those little nudges can make a massive impact. This message is for YOU. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Courage over comfort. Do it scared. Do it messy. Do it awkward. Just do it.

Send us a text When you step into the operating room, every decision carries weight, but what happens when that weight becomes too much? I had the opportunity to sit down with Bryan Sagray, former surgeon who traded his scalpel for the chance to rewire minds as a personal coach for your brain.

The brain's astonishing adaptability and the potential for positive change underscore our narrative, advocating for intentional habit shifts that lead to a more optimistic and healthy existence. Disentangling from the digital tangle to reconnect with nature emerges as a salient theme, while we also discuss the art of crafting an authentic personal brand—showcasing how vulnerability and truth on platforms like LinkedIn can foster deep connections and open doors to new opportunities.

From Scarcity to Success: Kofi Douhadji’s Journey to Greatness
Send us a text Ever met an individual who embodies the phrase "rising from adversity"? My guest, Kofi Douhadji, is that person. Kofi's journey from a small village in Togo, Africa, to becoming a serial entrepreneur, author, coach, United States Air Force officer, husband, and father is a powerful testament to the human spirit. In a world obsessed with materialistic success, Kofi’s story of finding inspiration in scarcity is a breath of fresh air. His unique perspective invites us all to view our challenges not as obstacles, but as stepping stones to greatness. Kofi's talent for storytelling is the golden thread running through his narrative. Whether it's turning lessons into stories or using storytelling as a coping mechanism, Kofi has harnessed the power of storytelling to overcome, transcend, and inspire. But storytelling isn’t just about captivating an audience; it’s about creating bonds, fostering shared humanity, and driving us towards our goals. In Kofi's words, the stories we tell ourselves have the potential to either hold us back or show us what is possible. But the real gem of our conversation is perhaps the concept of a ‘life constitution’. Kofi shares how Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Successful People' inspired his own 'Kofi constitution', which guides his life decisions. Diving deeper into this idea, we also explore the transformative power of meaningful conversations and the importance of a supportive community. Finally, we delve into Kofi’s venture, Flying Wings Publishing, a testament to the power of storytelling, meaningful conversations, and impactful connections. A thread that runs throughout our conversation is Kofi's emphasis on intentional growth and harmony, reminding us that self-improvement is a journey, not a destination. So, buckle up for an inspiring journey that promises to kindle the fires of greatness within you. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kofi-douhadji/ https://kofidouhadji.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-Optimist-Kofi-Douhadji/dp/1737624354 A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!

My Health Journey: How my ambitious climb up the corporate ladder led me straight to Hashimoto's Disease
Send us a text My battle with Hashimoto's Disease has ranged from symptoms that appeared to be an anaphylactic reaction to severe brain fog to weight gain to losing my hair. I know...all the things we DON'T want to publicly talk about. Precisely why I wanted to share the story of the last 10 years or so and the health challenges that I have encountered. I haven't ever really shared the whole story. I am acutely aware that most of my health issues were self inflicted because I CHOSE to chase the ambition...and there is always a cost to pushing too hard and not listening to your body. Still, the traditional medical community still doesn't look deep enough to identify things like Hashimoto's. Make sure you have an MD you can trust and that you press when you need to in order to get answers. I have had far too many conversations with executive women in the last 6 months who struggled with burnout and major health crises. These things should NOT be our wake up call. They shouldn't have to be. I hope anyone who is having health challenges really hears this message and knows when their body is telling them to slow down a bit. We get one body and one go around in this beautiful life. Take good care of yourselves, friends!!

Sonnie Linebarger on the Eating Crow Podcast with Pete Durand (Ep. 43)
Send us a text I had the privilege of being on Pete Durand's podcast, Eating Crow, right after making the leap to leave the corporate world and jump in entrepreneurship. Take a listen as I am on the other side of the microphone this time! Sonnie Linebarger is intimidating... ...in a subtle "I eat nails for breakfast" sort of way. I've been following Sonnie for some time and when she agreed to be on the show I had an idea of where I wanted to take the episode...I was wrong. Sonnie is complex - wife, mother, seasoned and successful business executive. She's also a life-long learner. This really stayed with me during the episode - she's obsessed with, well, evoking greatness - first in herself, then others. She's registered nurse (in a PICU none-the-less, I've seen that first hand...wow) and spent years leading a hospice and palliative care organization. That's next-level compassion. Sonnie just left her corporate gig and is now out on her own, evoking leadership greatness. Sonnie is one of the sharpest people I've interviewed (that's a high bar). She's also a supermom and now an entrepreneur. Stay tuned. Make sure to go check out Pete's podcast, if you haven't yet: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eating-crow/id1525092497 Also some really cool Greatness Gear is now available in the store on my website.

Send us a text Nate is a stellar leader, husband, father, and frankly, just a great human. This interview far surpassed my expectations.

Perspective and ponderings from the top of the mountain
Send us a text I have been feeling a little creatively stagnant lately and so I headed out this morning to where I do my best work. Take a quick listen to my perspective and ponderings from the mountain top. You never know what your presence, your time, your words, or your wisdom is doing for somebody else. It could be giving them the courage you never knew they needed to keep pushing forward. It could be the silent permission to be their truest selves. Keep showing up and pouring into the world. You have a completely unique insight and set of experiences and somebody out there is waiting to hear what only you have to share.

Brittney Canter-Barbe, Founder of PowHER: Her journey from board room to entrepreneur
Send us a text Brittney was the woman who climbed to the top of her field, despite overwhelming imposter syndrome and self-doubt. She constantly battled against feelings that she was not good enough, smart enough, or deserving enough for the role she had achieved. Sitting in boardrooms and being asked to take notes, she was told time and again that she should be hidden in back of house operations because she looked the part and of course, was told she was too aggressive. But none of this stopped her from reaching the mountaintop. Brittney left her cushy, half million+ career to launch PowHER and discovered that so many women are looking for guidance on how to claim their power in the workplace, at home and throughout every aspect of their lives. She realized that she could help these women by sharing her own story and teachings. In this episode, she shares: What led her out of Corporate America and into an entrepreneurial calling to do more, be more, have more and change more. How she works to teach women and corporations to "build a better table". Her take on why women are leaving the corporate world and betting on themselves. Tactical steps for those who are uncomfortable negotiating on their own behalf in order to get the best possible offer. Her experience with Imposter Syndrome earlier in her career. The powerful lessons she has learned through failure. Why pouring into others is something that reaps benefits for the giver and the receiver The advice she would give her younger self. This was such a great episode as Brittney went deep on her story and how she has navigated all that has come at her in her life.

If you had only 6 months to live...
Send us a text What does your bucket list look like? In this mini episode, I read a chapter from "The Everyday Hero Manifesto" by Robin Sharma. Have you ever thought of those things you'd like to do before you die? I have a marvelous list of things that I would like to do and have had zero plan as to ever put them into play. This book has caused me to pause on many occasions. Robin's style of writing lights my imagination on fire with sheer delight. His words come to life for me and play images in my mind. I laid in bed last night as I thought about my "bucket list". We often think that I will do those things, go to those places...one day. And then for many, the one day never comes and they never do those things or go to those places. I hope that this causes you to think about what your "bucket list" looks like and that you get busy making life happen...before you no longer have the time.

Visualizing and manifesting
Send us a text I recently shared a post from about 3 years ago and referenced visualization and manifestation. I thought I'd take a few and share with you what my process looks like. It's more than just visualizing something or printing out a picture, rather it is about imagining yourself in the situation as if it has already happened. It is about feeling the way it feels, smells, tastes, and sounds. Visualization is only part of the process, you must also put in the work to make it become a reality. I encourage you to try this and I hope you will share what you are hoping to manifest! Cheers to living boldly and manifesting your big ideas and dreams into reality!

I've been giving a lot of thought to some of the bad habits that I, and I'm sure others, have had through the year and maybe they haven't served us very well. Take a listen as we dive into these 5 bad habits to leave behind in 2021 Habit number 1 to leave behind in 2021 is: Multitasking A book I’d recommend on this topic is Habits of a Champion by Coach Dana Cavalea Habit number 2 to leave behind in 2021 is: Imposter Syndrome A book I’d recommend on this topic is: Lean in by Sheryl Sandberg Habit number 3 to leave behind in 2021 is: Overloading your schedule A book I’d recommend on this topic is: Deep Work by Cal Newport Habit number 4 to leave behind in 2021 is: An unhealthy lifestyle A book I’d recommend reading on this topic is: The ripple effect by Greg Wells Habit number 5 to leave behind in 2021: Caring about other people’s opinions A book I’d recommend on this topic is: Girl wash your face by Rachel Hollis One last book recommendation covering habits in general is Atomic Habits by James Clear I deeply encourage you to evaluate the habits that are a normal part of your routine. The good ones and the not so good ones. Take a look at those that may not be serving you and do the work to unpack the why behind it. Sometimes you can do that alone and sometimes you may need outside help. Don’t ever be ashamed of exploring these things as it can only lighten the load you bear. I hope you get value out me sharing my journey of the roads I have navigated and some that I am still navigating. I read a lot of books, listen to podcasts, videos, and content of others more educated or experienced in the areas that I need help in and I value their journey even if it’s different than mine. As we ring in the New Year, do not put your energy towards creating New Year’s resolutions. 80% of New year’s resolutions fall off the map in fiery failure by mid-February. Instead, I wish you a year full of exploration and wonder, self-discovery and growth, joy, and fulfillment. After all, we only get one go around in this beautiful life.
