Naida has a deep sense of justice and desire for peace that is rooted in her li...

Creativity and Connection in the Face of Overwhelm and Injustice
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world and the barrage of bad news, this episode is for you. This podcast is an invitation to "do what you can where you are" to promote more healing and justice in the world. If you're feeling stuck, I offer ideas and questions to help you think creatively and take tiny, imperfect next steps. If you're already engaged in social change work, this episode is for you as well. You are the building block of a healthy life, healthy organizations, healthy families, healthy communities, a healthy world ... and I'm so...
Why Wait to Create? "Ready" is a Mirage
The world needs what you uniquely have to contribute. No need to wait until you're "ready." No need to strive for perfection. No need to have a massive impact on day 1. Getting started, one tiny, imperfect step at a time, is what's most important.
In this episode of Resourced & Resourceful Leadership, I encourage you to get started on whatever you'd like to create or move towards by sharing lessons I've learned that have helped me make this podcast (among other things).

Community Building and Leadership with Babs Adamski (aka Aunt Babs)
We all need an Aunt Babs in our lives—someone who truly sees us and meets us where we are.
My aunt, Babs Adamski, did that for me as a child—and more than forty years later, she’s still doing it now. I consider myself lucky to have her as both a family member and a friend—and as one of my earliest examples of what community building and leadership look like.
In this conversation, we touch on our shared history; caring for children as an auntie, babysitter, and friend; writing through chronic pain; one of o...
How to Befriend and Work with Your Inner Critics
Launching this podcast stirred up some loud inner critics for me—and in this episode, I share how I learned to face them with curiosity instead of resistance. From my first introduction to inner critics through SARK’s work to discovering the power of Parts Work, I talk about what it means to work with these voices rather than push them away.
You’ll hear personal stories, insights from Internal Family Systems (IFS), and practical ways you can begin noticing and working with your own inner parts. I also share how I moved through self-doubt to actually releas...
Show Dedication & Very Special Guest
This episode is extra special to me because I’m joined by my daughter, Ellie. At just eight years old, she inspires me daily to grow, learn, and practice self-leadership. Since this podcast is dedicated to her, it felt only right to have her as my very first guest.
Ellie shares a bit about herself—her favorite color, music, foods, and even her love of ice skating.
Whether you’re a parent, a leader, or both, I hope this lighthearted episode reminds you of the importance of connection and curiosity.
If you enjoy this e...
