Welcome back to the Oneness Coach: How to Lead More and Manage Less podcast with Marilyn Dollar. In this heartfelt episode, Marilyn gets real about the questions so many driven women quietly ask themselves: “What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I have clarity by now?” Drawing from her own journey as a high-achieving mom, entrepreneur, and leadership coach, Marilyn explores the concept of misalignment—the subtle disconnect that creeps in when our daily lives stop feeling fulfilling, even when everything looks successful from the outside.

She shares candid stories about perfectionism, navigating major life changes, and the difference between confusion and true misalignment. Marilyn dives into the power of reconnecting with your values and authenticity, and how small shifts can spark big breakthroughs in your personal and professional life. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite your accomplishments, or wondered what’s next for you, this episode is a gentle invitation to come home to yourself. Stick around for practical insights, relatable examples, and empowering encouragement—you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and clarity might just be one aligned choice away.

Welcome back to the Women’s Coach, where we dive deep into what it really means to lead more and manage less. I’m your host, Marilyn Dollar—leadership coach, high performance strategist, and, yes, wearer of many hats (including mom and dog mom!). In today’s episode, we’re tackling a powerful and often overlooked challenge facing high-performing women: Are we truly living by our values, or are we just saying we are?

I’ll take you behind the scenes of a transformative experience in my own journey: attending the “Becoming You” workshop and certification with Susie at NYU. We’ll unravel the concept of core values—not virtues like honesty or trustworthiness, but the driving forces that shape your work, joy, and impact. And, I’ll introduce you to the “Four Horsemen of Values Destruction”—those sneaky forces that pull us off course: economic security, expedience, expectations, and life events.

Together, we’ll look at real-life stories—from my own path and from the women I coach—exploring how these invisible snares can keep us from living authentically and making the changes we crave. More importantly, I’ll share insights and practical advice for regaining clarity, recalibrating your priorities, and leading from the center of your own life.

If you’ve ever wondered “Whose life is this, anyway?” or felt stuck in someone else’s version of success, this episode is your starting point for change. Let’s get clear on what matters most—before life forces your hand. It’s time to become the leader in your own story. Let’s begin.
