Beschreibung

In this episode of Relentless & Real, we talk about one of the hardest skills to build in leadership and in life: feedback. Why do so many people say they want it, but struggle to receive it well? And why do so many people give it at the wrong time, in the wrong way, and then wonder why it does not land? We unpack the difference between feedback and criticism, how to know when you are actually open to hearing it, and why timing, trust, and delivery matter just as much as the message itself. We also talk about what happens when feedback is not handled well and how quickly it can turn into defensiveness, emotional reactivity, or even gossip. This conversation is about more than communication. It is about discipline, self-awareness, and knowing what is in your 20 square feet when feedback comes your way. Because if you can learn to receive feedback without going default, you give yourself a real edge in leadership, growth, and relationships.

Ep. 21 – If I Cut You Off, You Probably Handed Me the Scissors

Season 3 is here, and we’re starting with a conversation that hits close to home. In this episode of Relentless & Real, Heather and Jenny unpack the relationships we hold onto, the ones we outgrow, and the difficult truth that sometimes distance is a disciplined response. From friendships and professional connections to seasons of life that naturally shift, they explore what happens when relationships stop giving energy and start taking it. They discuss the emotional weight of loyalty, the challenge of maintaining meaningful connections while building ambitious lives, and how self-awareness helps us recognize when it’s time to create space. This episode is about boundaries, intentional relationships, and understanding that not every connection is meant to last forever — but every relationship can teach us something valuable. They also share exciting updates on the launch of The R Factor book and The R Factor Around the Dinner Table, two major projects designed to bring Focus 3’s performance mindset into both leadership and family life.

Ep. 19 – When She Makes More

What happens when a woman becomes the breadwinner, but the expectations at home stay exactly the same? In this episode of Relentless & Real, we take on a conversation that still feels surprisingly hard to have out loud. What changes when she makes more? What does that do to identity, partnership, responsibility, and the unspoken dynamics inside a household? We talk about why this is still such a loaded topic, how resentment can quietly build when roles are unclear, and why money should never become a stand-in for power. More importantly, we talk about the conversations couples actually need to have if they want to stay aligned. Because this is not just about income. It is about expectations, communication, and building a life together that works for both people. If you are leading at work and carrying a lot at home, this episode will hit close to home.

Ep. 17 – Stop Saying Sorry When You Mean Thanks

In this episode of Relentless & Real, we unpack one small habit that quietly impacts your confidence, credibility, and how others perceive you over-apologizing. We talk about why so many people (especially women) default to saying sorry, what it actually signals in a professional setting, and how it often stems from overcommitment, lack of boundaries, and operating on obligation instead of intention. More importantly, we show how to shift your language in a simple but powerful way: From “sorry” → to “thank you.” Because when you change your language, you change your presence. This episode will challenge you to audit your habits, eliminate unnecessary apologies, and show up with more clarity, discipline, and confidence in your 20 Square Feet.
