Warmup questions:

· We always like to start with a celebration. What are you celebrating today?

· Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?

Questions/Topics/Prompts

· I invited you on because I enjoy your weekly email, especially its emphasis on presence, reflection, and self-care. We will dive into these, but first I want to ask about something I read on your website. When you say “fall back in love with your life”, what do you mean?

· What are the major factors in falling “out” of love with ourselves?

· Let’s talk about presence, what is it, what forms does it take, why is it so essential?

· What is the role of reflection in loving your life?

· It’s easy to say “take care of yourself” but how do people make the mindset shift to actually prioritizing it?

·

Closing questions:

· What part of your own leadership are you still trying to get better at?

· If listeners could take just one thing away from today’s podcast, what would it be?

· Before we go, is there anything else that you’d like to share with our listeners?

· Where can people learn more about you and your work…
