In With the Podcast (with Jenna!)

82. In With...Cozy Insignificance (Nothing f-ing matters and that's ok!)

Jenna's coming at you on April Fools' Day with a story so preposterous, it sounds like a prank. We wrap up the Lion-ish month of March and talk about the importance of remaining unbothered and keeping things in perspective. Jenna shares her favorite saying, which might seem de-motivating on the surface, but has deep calming qualities. Plus, she discusses Project Hail Mary, men skipping, her new "amazing" filter on life and an announcement about a short podcast break.   Connect with Jenna: Want to work one-on-one with Jenna?

81. In With...Danielle Krischik: The Story Effect

Welcome Danielle Krischik to the podcast! Danielle, partner at Knight Agency and author of The Story Effect, shares why storytelling is the ultimate weapon of choice for leadership. Danielle shares how her experience interviewing 100 people across 100 countries proved that we all share the same fundamental human needs, and why vulnerability is critical for teams to do their best work. Jenna and Danielle discuss the tension that can arise when we balance our professional reputation and our authentic self. Plus, they go deep on their passion around pizza, 90s hip-hop and their favorite destination in Italy.  Whether you're a CEO battling imposter syndrome or a manager trying to build a more cohesive team, this conversation will give you the tools to stop "communicating" and start connecting.   Connect with Danielle, listen to the podcast and check out her new book here: The Story Effect [https://thestoryeffect.com/] Listen to Jenna on The Story Effect Podcast [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OzlS7vmYkDzozGks83yRC?si=44c46fa5b6614246] Connect with Jenna: Want to work one-on-one with Jenna?

80. In With...Impossible Things (Conjure your "best case scenarios!")

Jenna takes us down the rabbit hole into her own personal wonderland. After a recent trip to an Alice in Wonderland themed pop-up bar, Jenna discusses why she loves this tale so much, and shares one of her favorite scenes that encourages us to become exceptional daydreamers. While we tend to use the power of our brains to obsess over worst-case scenarios, Jenna challenges us to flip the script. By practicing the art of "Wouldn't it be cool if...?", we can move from overthinking to manifesting a life that feels exciting! This practice of "wonder" can be applied to work, relationships or whatever you desire...all you need to do is practice a half hour a day (according to the White Queen). Plus, Jenna shares highlights of the 1985 made-for-TV Alice in Wonderland that feels more like a fever dream than a primetime special.    Watch the Alice in Wonderland TV special here [https://youtu.be/Gr2B7Ru82UY?si=UkUOm-H17yMv06UA] And check out a weird Carol Channing scene here [https://youtu.be/83xTysUKkX4?si=CuCo2tiBEv3cpwsR] Listen to Julie Klausner's "How Was Your Week" episode [https://open.spotify.com/episode/2aB5Anpt8WtnCu5HWazSH1?si=UrbffgkuTS24P35-jY3A_w] Connect with Jenna: Want to work one-on-one with Jenna?

79. In With...The Lions (Coming into March Completely Unbothered)

It’s March! While the weather is doing some very strange things (thunder sleeting?!), I am feeling a massive sense of renewal. I just got back from an incredible sister trip to Europe, and it provided a mental reset I didn’t even realize I desperately needed. In this episode, I’m diving into a saying I weirdly learned in kindergarten, "March comes in like a lion," but giving it a total rebrand. Forget the abrasive weather; I’m talking about adopting the fierce, focused, and unbothered energy of a lion as we move into this new month. We’re talking about: The Power of the Re-visit: Why going back to places you’ve been offers a brand new lens based on who you are today. The "Cillian Murphy" Lion: Why I’m channeling a specific kind of "unbothered" energy to protect my time and my "pride". Spring Cleaning for the Soul: How a change of scenery - even just a new neighborhood in your own town - can inspire and refresh you. Oh...and Collective Nouns: Did you know a group of zebras is called a dazzle?   Connect with Jenna: Want to work one-on-one with Jenna?

78. In With...Elana Rugh: Human Centered Leadership (aka Just be nice!)

Welcome Elana Rugh to the podcast! Elana is the CEO of the Detroit Historical Society, where she oversees a team of 80 and manages some of the most important cultural landmarks in the country. We dove deep into what it actually looks like to be a "human-centered" leader and how to navigate the "invisible burden" of caring for your people. Plus, Elana talks about the importance of carving guilt-free time for yourself, listening to your gut when it comes to delivering tough news and how publicly sharing her story of being an adoptee has opened new doors of vulnerability. Elana reminds us of the best leadership advice ever: to be kind and to be ourselves.
