Hosts: Amy Sousa, Tracie Munce, Lisa Carmichael

In this episode, Amy, Tracie, and Lisa dive into the big shifts in business and life, reflecting on lessons learned from the pandemic, how their values around work and success have evolved, and the importance of community and collaboration. The conversation covers:

• The transformative power of cold dipping and building community

• Navigating business changes and personal growth during and after the pandemic

• Letting go of competition and embracing self-improvement

• Leadership lessons: curiosity, grace, and supporting your team

• The value of asking for help, making new connections, and finding mentors

• Advice for listeners: stop hustling for things that no longer serve you, and give yourself permission to seek support

  Notable Quotes:

  • “Ask for help. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. Because even though someone may not be able to help you the way you think you need help, they may give you a completely different way of helping you than you ever expected.” – Lisa Carmichael

  • “Collaborate often, make new friends, and get out of the box.” – Amy Sousa

  • “Get in the room. That’s going to stretch your level of thinking, your level of belief. Look for people that are doing what you really want to do, rather than judgment. Get curious. Find your mentors.” – Tracie Munce

  • “When I stopped comparing myself to my co-workers, that’s when my numbers improved, because I was always worried how they were doing. I had to be better than them. And when I let go and just looked at my own numbers and focused on who I was and how I could become better, that changed everything.” – Lisa Carmichael

  • “If something we shared sparked a new idea, gave you a fresh perspective, or simply made you feel seen, we’d love for you to pass it on.” – Amy Sousa
