20 ABR. 2022 · In today's show, Kathleen interviews two fascinating women - Jana Suchy and Nadia Larsen. They have joined together to create a truly unique program to help breast cancer survivors. Learn about The Pink- Ribbon Boudoir Project. About Jana Suchy: “I empower women by showing them their natural beauty to help transform self-image and confidence.” I am a Wisconsin girl with a 1980 UW-Stevens Point college degree in Natural Resource Management. I worked the back deck of Alaska fishing boats in the 1980s, journeying to Missoula, Montana, for journalism graduate study at UofM to return home to Sitka and cover the fleet as writer/photographer for the fish papers. I had a long career since the early '90s. I've written/photographed/produced many user-friendly information/education projects in a wide range of media about marine industries and environmental topics—from brochures to radio spots, billboards to comic books. I've also written 3 photobooks on Alaska fishing with photo exhibits in the Pacific Northwest. I've shot boudoir photography since 2010, creating Pink-Ribbon Boudoir for breast-cancer survivors to showcase their enduring beauty and to help them feel fabulous for emotional healing. As a boudoir photographer dba Way Out West Creative, I empower women by showing them their natural beauty to help transform their self-image and confidence. Not studio glam but shot on-location. Each woman selects her favorite photos for a hardcover photobook. When I heard, "Oh my god I'm beautiful, I never knew I was beautiful!" I knew breast-cancer survivors would love to feel that too, which led to developing a special project for Pink-Ribbon Boudoir. Website: www.pinkribbonboudoir.com (Contact Jana through this website to nominate a breast cancer survivor or to pledge a donation for the project) About Nadia Larsen: Nadia was born and raised in Israel and then went to college in Switzerland. She speaks 6 languages and has worked as an interpreter. Her passion is world traveling and photography. Nadia formerly owned a chocolate business in Tucson and now runs her nonprofit, Nadia Strong Photography Foundation. She founded this support for breast cancer survivors after her difficult and painful battle with stage-4 breast cancer. The vision for her foundation is to offer a unique support environment along with creative wellness programs designed to inspire and encourage cancer patients and survivors to be proactive about their health both during and after treatment. This includes a free photography session for breast cancer survivors. Website: www.nadiastrong.org

29 MAR. 2022 · In this month’s episode of the Choose Congruency Podcast, Kathleen talks with strengths-based coach, Darcy Dunker. They will explore what is strengths-based coaching and how the strengths-based approach can help us to succeed in our professional endeavors. About Darcy Dunker: Darcy was a radio news producer and on-air personality for 6 years (she loved this job!) She also spent time in small business management (not for her) as well as marketing and sales for a tech company. She then went on to become a math teacher, which she did for 18 years, finding that it fit SOME of her values but was missing some as well. She ultimately found her true calling is helping people to uncover their strengths and focus on what is strong within them, which led her into strengths-based coaching. Her two areas of expertise are ︎Leaders & ︎Career Changers/Advancers, including the following: ︎Career Changers- you know you want something different but you need clarity and a strategic path to get you there. ︎Career Advancers- you want to stay at your current company but you want to level up quickly. ︎Leaders in Companies Worldwide- You want to confidently and easily make decisions, guide your teams, have difficult conversations, and have fun in your role (YES! It’s possible). Darcy is often described as a "breath of fresh air". You and she will be a GREAT team if you are looking for a professional who will get you results, boost your confidence, and you want to laugh a lot along the way. She uses data-driven assessments, powerful STRENGTHS coaching and habit hacking, to quickly move past what is holding you back so you can achieve your goals. Together you will uncover your STRENGTHS, stories, patterns, habits, and behaviors, through laser-focused coaching sessions to expedite results. Even better- you will laugh a lot while getting you there. Contact info:  Email: darcydunker.coaching@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darcydunker-careercoach/

25 ENE. 2022 · In this episode of the Choose Congruency Podcast, Kathleen speaks with Leslie Bosch about The Top 10 Reasons Why Your New Year’s Resolutions Fail and how to ultimately be successful in 2022. The discussion includes one aspect of change that is rarely discussed but extremely important for success. Episode Hint: Success does not come from making a resolution! Dr. Leslie Bosch a Developmental Psychologist and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

Dr. Leslie Bosch is a Developmental Psychologist and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Dr. Bosch received her training from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Before I became a coach, like many Americans, I was working long hours in a very demanding job. Unfortunately, I was also mismanaging my stress, eating lots of junk food, not exercising, sleeping poorly, and not having any fun. I didn't realize it at the time but I was unwittingly trading my well-being, health, and relationships for career success! Fortunately, I enrolled in a wellness class offered through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine where I learned about an integrative approach to health. I was so impressed by the scientific research supporting an integrative approach that I made several lifestyle changes. After several months of concerted effort, I began to feel inspired, calm, connected, rested, and productive again. I was so happy with the lifestyle changes that I took my efforts to the next level and became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Now, I work with others to improve the quality of their lives, too. I also have a Ph.D. in Family Studies and Human Development. So, I bring a wealth of knowledge about the change process to my coaching practice. Please share about your current business I help ambitious women minimize the negative effects of stress so they can make a bigger impact without sacrificing their health or personal relationships. I coach people in one-on-one and group settings.

3 ENE. 2022 · "In Today’s episode of the Choose Congruency Podcast, we take a look at our "inner voice" and answer the following questions: What is it? When should we listen to it; when should we 'shut it up'? Joining Kathleen in today's conversation is guest Kristen Walker of ClearView Business Consulting". Kristen Walker is From Ann Arbor, Michigan where she is the owner of ClearView Business Consulting, specializing in supporting small business owners and leaders of all levels to improve their organizational and leadership performance. An in-depth conversation with Kathleen. About Kristen Walker CCE 3 Kristen Walker is From Ann Arbor, Michigan where she is the owner of ClearView Business Consulting, specializing in supporting small business owners and leaders of all levels to improve their organizational and leadership performance through Board Certified Coaching both 1:1 and in team environments and with certified HR Consulting Services. Kristen has an Undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University and a Master’s in Business Management from the University of Maryland where she worked at living getting her start in the Washington, DC area. She has over 17 years of experience in all areas of Human Capital Management and now owns her own successful consulting and coaching business, which she named Clearview Business Consulting, where she helps people gain ‘clear views of how to achieve their performance goals and overcome obstacles with less stress. I partner with small business owners who are highly successful, experiencing dramatic business growth and change but often lack the internal Human Resources support that they truly need. It goes far beyond handbooks and holiday parties and enters into deeper spaces of critical leadership support, organizational development, employee engagement initiatives, and winning the war for employee retention in a highly competitive labor market. Additionally, I partner with individuals to provide one-on-one coaching and team coaching to bring an outside perspective that increases the support, challenges them to lead differently, focus on working smarter not harder, and encourages more personal growth and development faster than going it alone. We spend time goal setting, moving to action, and managing obstacles that can easily be kicked down. In a coaching environment, we can really alter performance, stress levels, and happiness.

1 NOV. 2021 · In this inaugural episode of the Choose Congruency Podcast, Kathleen speaks with Jessica Korff and Kaitlyn Pickrel about the "Power of Believing You Can." They will share their journeys from self-doubt to being able to believe in themselves and how that ultimately changed their lives. BIO - Kaitlyn Pickrel Hello! I’m Kaitlyn Pickrel. I was raised here in Tucson. My history with college is… complicated. I’m an architecture school dropout and a trade school graduate. I’ve earned an Associate’s in health studies and a Bachelor’s in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Currently, I’m a Pre-Medical School Student and am in the middle of the application process. I have also a varied history in the work force, working in the service industry for many years in a variety of places ranging from coffee, bookstores, smoothies and hookah lounges. I currently work in healthcare as a Pharmacy Technician at St. Mary’s Hospital. I currently work in healthcare, and my current trade as a Pharmacy Technician is actually my main catalyst for returning to school and selecting such academically intensive majors. I found a love for medicine, specifically how the body interacts with small molecules and how human physiology handles so many passive, unconscious processes. Thus I began undergrad, and at some point while I worked my way through my classes I found I wanted to be a physician, and work with the public as a healer and educator. That pretty much brings us to now, where Kaitlyn the premed waits for an acceptance to medical school. Mind you, I’m the same girl who flunked high school math and dropped out of university. Life is wild. I believe this specific episode is about the power of self believe and self-confidence, so in this instance I believe I will be speaking more towards how I overcame a perceived academic weakness and managed to excel in science academia despite a lackluster history in S.T.E.M. subjects. My major shortcoming was specifically math. I feel the focus of this discussion from my perspective be on how I went from one of the lowest percentile scorers on the math section of the ASFAB and failing the math section of the standardized AIMS to finishing university level math through Differential equations and finding love for the subject. Carondelet St. Mary’s Kaitlyn.pickrel@gmail.com www.linkedin.com/in/KatieVarricMed Bear Down Network (U of A Alumni Network): Kaitlyn Pickrel BIO Jessica Korff Owner Jessica Korff was raised in Tucson, Arizona and Grand Island, Nebraska. She grew up as the oldest of six kids, but is 1 of 11, many of which she met much later in life. She is the mom of 4 beautiful, intelligent, heart centered and strong minded girls who might just change the world (6, 11, 13 and 17 years old) She has been with her incredibly supportive and insanely patient husband for 11 years in November and she couldn’t do what she does without him. She also has a Siberian Husky, a Pit Heeler and 2 guinea pigs Jessica Korff  helps thought leaders and change-makers cut through the noise by using branding, color and body language psychology to create photos that drive their message home, as well as to get creative in marketing for their industry and to do it all with a supportive and growth minded community at their side.  She is an award-winning portrait & branding photographer, the Founder of Success Refashioned Magazine, and podcast host at The Success Differently Podcast.  Jessica has been featured as a Woman of Impact by Impact of Southern Arizona, received both the Best and Favorite Photographer Award in her local Reader's Choice Awards and currently resides on the board of Sonoran Glass School, specifically for her expertise in "out of the box" marketing and networking.  Company Name: Fleur de Lea Photography, Success Refashioned Magazine & Success Differently Podcast Mobile Number: 520-975-9051 Email to receive show Link: jessica@jessicakorff.com www.fdlphoto.com | www.theREDmag.com FB Community for women change-makers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/refashiondmag About the Host From an early age, Kathleen knew that she wanted to work with people, to help them on the path to creating the life that they want. She became interested in understanding the process by which some people seem to be able to create the life they want, while others are unable to do so. On a personal level, she explored how she was able to survive, thrive and grow despite life threatening illness at birth, emotional trauma, and extreme, debilitating shyness while some family members and friends, could not seem to overcome personal obstacles in the same way. Choose Congruency was born out of learning answers to this question. It became clear through research, working with hundreds of people, and personal experience that those who are successful in achieving their goals do not possess some magical power that is only available to a few special people, but rather, there are real, actionable, “doable” steps to take in achieving our goals — both personally and professionally. However, it is often difficult to see, much less take those necessary steps on our own. This is where Choose Congruency can help. We are able to work with you or your business to help clarify goals and create a path to successfully achieving those goals. For over 14 years, Kathleen Pickrel has worked with people both on an individual level and within a corporate structure, providing support, helping to clarify goals and establishing a framework to ultimately achieve those goals. With her company, Choose Congruency, she works with individuals who want a crystal-clear vision and businesses that want great employees. This involves helping people and businesses become clear on where they are, where they would like to be, and the steps to help bridge the gap between those two. Kathleen has a Master’s Degree in Social Work and is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). www.choosecongruency.com https://kathleenpickrel763.lpages.co/general-life-coaching LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleen-pickrel-9a648a65/ Facebook Page URL: https://www.facebook.com/ChooseCongruency
