This episode is another solo-soapbox moment on language and let's think about the power it holds.Because the words you use are never “just words.” They are signals. They set tone. They shape energy. They build or break momentum before anything else even happens.So today, we’re talking about what your language is actually doing in your leadership, your conversations, and your self-talk.Listen closely… because the difference between stuck and moving might just be the sentence you keep repeating.

...a loving nudge, a friendly reminder, empowering you today...You are not here to get everything right.You are here to be here.To laugh in meetings that feel too serious.To breathe in moments that feel too heavy.To remember that ambition and joy can exist in the same body.This is your permission to stop tightening your life into something “acceptable.”And start expanding into something alive.You're welcome!

What happens to leadership when emotions take over?In this powerful conversation on Overflow, Kimberly sits down with emotional intelligence expert Teresa Quinlan to explore the deeper layers of emotional intelligence and what it really means to lead with awareness, responsibility, and intention.Teresa brings a refreshing and practical perspective on radical personal responsibility, explaining how leaders can move beyond simply being aware of emotions to actively shaping the emotional climate of their teams and organizations.One of the most memorable insights from the episode:“When emotions hijack, IQ drops.”When we become overwhelmed, our ability to think clearly, listen well, and lead effectively diminishes. The good news? Emotional intelligence is a skill that can be practiced and expanded.Together, Kimberly and Teresa explore how understanding the brain, reflecting on our emotional responses, and taking radical responsibility can help leaders create healthier cultures, stronger teams, and more thoughtful decision-making.This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and expand your capacity as a leader—because when leaders grow their emotional intelligence, the ripple effect touches every relationship, conversation, and culture they influence.Let's think about:The true nature of emotional intelligence beyond simple awarenessThe powerful “and” equation—owning our emotional responses instead of reacting to themHow organizational culture reflects the emotional maturity of its leadersPractical tools leaders can use to strengthen emotional intelligenceThe role the brain plays in emotional regulation and decision-makingHow reflection can expand our capacity to lead with intentionWhat happens to your leadership when emotions hijack your thinking—and how might greater awareness change your response?✨ Tune in and discover how emotional intelligence, reflection, and radical responsibility can help you lead with greater clarity, calm, and impact.Meet Teresa QuinlanTeresa's 30-day EI Challenge is BACKIt's emotional intelligence at your fingertips with daily video lessons by Teresa, and daily habits that boost your wellbeing fast!Daily inspirationDaily gratitudeDaily journalDaily oath... all for brain training!No more than 10 minutes a day in lessonsA community wall to share insights, wins, ask your questions and get daily coachingA weekly masterclass for live coaching with your real time experiences!Check it outWebsite: https://www.iqeqtq.com/LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresaquinlan12/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teresaquinlan12/Dare to Dream Journalp.s.

This week on Overflow with Kimberly Snider, I sit down with Amanda LeRougetel to explore how words, fear, and courage can guide us into a powerful new year.We talk about:💛 Choosing “words of the year” to focus your growth.... A Word of the Year can act as a compass. It becomes a symbol and something tangible that keeps us on track when life feels noisy or overwhelming.💛 Facing fear and taking bold action anyway... It’s okay to feel afraid. The real growth happens when we act anyway. Courage isn’t always dramatic and often, it’s a quiet decision made behind the scenes.💛 Understanding your power and stepping into it wisely...Power may look different for each of us and acknowledging it changes everything. When we own our influence, we move differently.💛 Building habits and identity that fuel momentum... Risk is uncomfortable... Yes! ...and it is also the birthplace of opportunity. Growth requires movement beyond the familiar.💛 Harnessing conversations that challenge, inspire, and connect... When we identify as something (like a writer, a runner, a leader ...) we are more likely to behave in alignment with that identity.If you’re ready to reflect, dream bigger, and show up with clarity, this conversation is for you. Listen, share, and let curiosity lead your next chapter.What word is nudging YOU this year? Today?and...Hey, If you loved this episode, share it with someone you want to have a more meaningful conversation with.Because sometimes one word…can change everything.Amanda Le Rougetel - Writer, editor & Community Educator: "writing as tool for transformation."LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-le-rougetel-90117a3/Website: https://www.writingastool.ca/Blog: https://fiveyearsawriter.blogspot.com/Contact: WritingasTool@gmail.comp.s.

In this episode of Overflow with Kimberly Snider, I sit down with Taisha, a brilliant lawyer and leadership strategist, to explore contracts… but not just the legal kind. We’re talking about the unspoken agreements in your life — the hidden clauses that can quietly drain your energy, blur your boundaries, and shape how you show up every day.Many of us live by unspoken contracts that can drain our joy and energy.We dive into the power of negotiation, the importance of self-worth, and why revisiting your contracts — in work, partnerships, and life, is a radical act of self-care and empowerment. When you lead with clarity, you protect your energy, honor your values, and create agreements that actually serve you.Whether you’re launching a new venture, entering a partnership, or simply want more confidence in the terms you live by, Taisha’s insights will give you tools to:Spot hidden clauses that might be limiting your joy or successSet boundaries that protect your well-being and energyNegotiate from a place of confidence, self-respect, and clarityRevisit and redesign agreements to align with your evolving goals and valuesThis conversation is for anyone ready to live intentionally, lead boldly, and reclaim their time, energy, and peace of mind.Tune in and discover how to live by design, not default.Taisha Lewis Trotman Website: www.tlewislaw.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taishalewistrotman/p.s.
