100 Episodes of Glow Getters Podcast - The 10 Top Leadership Learnings I’ve Had in the Making of This Podcast
Y’all! Glow Getters Podcast is 100 episodes young!
It’s amazing to me that an idea I once had has turned into 3 or 4 years of slow, steady progress.
Did you know the podcast has had different names over the years?
2018 - “Cerulean” (going to be only about my art)
2018 - “Koffee with Kayla” (about more dimensions of me)
2019 - “Glow Getters Podcast” (focused on leadership and living a vibrant life!)
I thought the podcast would be a creative outlet and a way for me to connect with more people.
I had no idea the thoughts and tips I shared would resonate with so many of you, leading you into my DM’s with messages starting with:
“Hey, Kayla. Need your leadership advice…”
One of my affirmations for this year has been “I take meaningful action each day to make the biggest, positive impact I can in the lives of leaders.”
That mantra has helped me remember that even small progress, like one episode at a time, makes a huge difference in someone’s day even if I never meet them.
➡️So be sure to tune in to the episode as I’m share the 10 biggest lessons I’ve learned over the years doing this podcast.🎉
1. You don’t have to burn to the ground before you take care of yourself or rest. Thing of work when you go up the stair case and rest when you hit the tread of the step. Life should not feel like treading up a mountain without rest and then falling off the clifF of burnout.

2. Listen more, say less. So many arguments or issues come from miscommunication or assumptions. All of this can be avoided by asking more questions and seeking to understand.

Why it's important to "Help Me Understand"
3. Go slow to move fast is the idea that you take thoughtful time to understand the root cause of the problem before you take action. It also means taking small meaningful action that will over time lead to huge gains. Leaders often want to jump in and make everything better for folks, but the best way to lead is from the side, right next to people instead of way out from where you’re too far ahead.
4. The compound effect is so powerful. Small meaningful progress will repay dividends. Think about each time you accomplish something, throwing a pebble over your shoulder. One day you’ll look back and you’ll have a mountain of accomplishments.

5. How do you eat and elephant; one bite at a time. Break projects into small little bites, and work on the bites or even part of little bites each day to do something big.

6. Boundaries are hard but if you use them you’re being kind - “Clear is kind.” -Brene Brown. Once you actually start thinking about what feels good, right, sustainable, setting and communicating your boundaries will give you freedom. It’s not easy work, but once you work through the uncomfortableness of being true to what you want and need, you’ll feel 1,000,000x better.

7. It’s important to turn inward to hear your own voice, learn, and then trust yourself. Your intuition will serve you. As leaders and high achievers, we often don’t want to sit down and be with our own thoughts. We keep busy to avoid certain feelings or thoughts. For example, one thing I never wanted to think about were my finances. But then when I faced them, I realized that the only way I could work toward my goal of being financially free was to actually know my numbers. Knowing feels so much better than not knowing. Journaling, morning pages, meditation, leaving space to think, not over scheduling your day are some tools to do this.

9. Efficiency and productivity aren’t about checking the box, but about focusing on what matters — being intentional and focused about the why, the vision, your values, etc. will help you find healthy efficiency and productivity.

10. Discipline / Surrender - When you have the right mix of discipline and surrender, you find flow. We definitely need tools and strategy and goals, but we also need to hold onto our ideas loosely and be okay with them morphing and changing as they need to. When we do this, we can find a state of flow, and things just feel right.
