Season 6 Ep 9: Creating a New Wave in Business
October 11, 2021 04:01 - 13 minutes - 18.8 MBWhen I first entered the business owner space eight years ago, I noticed a trend: old school vs. new school. And we've talked about this on the podcast before — how I wanted to lead from a place that felt authentic and aligned, not sleazy or scammy. But in the last three years, I've been seeing a shift. For a lot of us, and especially for me, the "new school" approach we created? Yeah, it doesn't fit anymore. With all the change happening in the world, we're being asked to adapt, and to ...

Season 6 Ep 7: Do You Know How to Be Happy?
October 04, 2021 04:01 - 15 minutes - 21.1 MBSpoiler: I almost didn't release this episode. If you've been listening to my podcast for any length of time, it shouldn't surprise you that generally speaking? I'm a happy, positive person. I don't just get excited about things, I get !!!EXCITED!!! about things. I experience joy and delight on the regular, y'all. But I'm on a journey this year, and part of that journey was a big a-ha moment for me. I don't know how to be happy. Now, fair warning: I'm still processing this revelation...
Season 6 Ep 6: Ashley Kay on Space, Grace, and Making Mistakes
September 30, 2021 04:01 - 43 minutes - 59.9 MBIf you've ever thought "Wow, Lisa really does ALL the things!" then this is the episode where you'll learn... I really, really don't. That's because I have Ashley Kay in my corner: the CEO and Founder of AK Virtual Assistant Services. After developing her talents for organization and project management in the corporate world for over a decade, Ash found herself craving more fulfillment. She began AK Virtual Assistant services in 2016, when she realized that supporting people isn't just what ...
Season 6 Ep 5: Visibility, Vulnerability, Victory!
September 27, 2021 04:01 - 22 minutes - 30.2 MBQuestion for my fellow entrepreneurs out there: how do you feel about photoshoots? Before I took up my leadership mantle, the only time I'd had professional photos was the first time I got married. Now, though? I do photoshoots twice a year! They're a great way to keep my mojo up, to keep my vibe high and my confidence grounded, and to come back to myself in moments of self-doubt. I love the fact that I have a visual representation of my journey over time as an entrepreneur. I can look b...
Season 6 Ep 4: Navigating a "Stretchy" Year with Vangile Makwakwa
September 23, 2021 04:01 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBThis is a longer interview than usual, but I have a feeling you're going to love every minute of it — I know I sure did!

She's an author, an avid traveler, and the host of multiple podcasts: the Property Magicians Podcast, and the Money Magic Podcast. And thanks to the magic of the internet, she was able to ...
Season 6 Ep 3: Examining Your Trauma Responses
September 20, 2021 04:01 - 19 minutes - 27 MBLet's connect some more dots this week, shall we? My goal here is to offer you something to consider the next time you're in a stressful situation, feeling activated, or in conflict. When you have more awareness and understanding, you can work on responding differently in these situations — and be a little safer within yourself. So, how did this land for you? I'd love to know! If you'd like me to connect some more dots, you can shoot me an email at [email protected] with suggesti...

Lynn guides empaths and sensitive souls out of the overwhelm of distraction culture and into peace and belonging, through a rooted and sacred relationship with nature. As someone with my own deep connection to nature, I don't mind telling you that this got emotional for me! Our conversation flowed so organically, covering topics like: Spirituality and the sacred triangle where she focuses her energy ...
Season 6 Episode 1: Thoughts on Change, Intuition, and the Big Swirling
September 13, 2021 04:01 - 14 minutes - 19.3 MBWelcome to season SIX (!!) of Serving it HOT! I think it's safe to say that, collectively, we've got a lot on our plates right now... and that's why I want to kick things off by sharing some perspectives about these strange, swirling times we're in. I'm so happy that you're here with me. As always, I would absolutely love to hear from you. If you have questions, or a topic you'd like me to cover, or anything else, don't be shy! Just shoot me an email at [email protected]. To connect...
Season 5 Ep 20: The Joy of Purpose and Divine Expression with Manasi Kakade
July 22, 2021 04:01 - 51 minutes - 70.2 MBMy final interview of season 5 was exactly the conversation I needed to have — and I'm hoping it's exactly the one you need to hear. I had the pleasure of speaking with Manasi Kakade, a Practical Spirituality Mentor, and Speaker for Bridgewalker visionaries. Manasi works with coaches, healers, artists, and authors to create an unshakable internal foundation — so it's no surprise that clients often describe her work as the "liberation of the soul." I couldn't have chosen a better conversati...
Season 5 Ep 19: Perfectionism, Control, and Making Important Mistakes
July 19, 2021 04:01 - 13 minutes - 18.2 MBLike everyone under the sun, I make mistakes sometimes — and most of the time, they really don't bother me. Typo in an email? I get a fact wrong in a podcast? Come off a little blunt during a conversation? Not a big deal. Correct and move on. But there are some areas where even the thought of making a mistake is paralyzing. When it comes to leadership, ethics, allyship, and integrity, I hold myself to an extremely high standard that leaves ZERO room for error. And recently — you guessed ...
Season 5 Ep 18: Taking Risks and Dancing on Chairs with Dusti Arab
July 15, 2021 04:01 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MBMy guest this week was Dusti Arab, a brand strategist who specializes in elevating the personality-driven brands of women on the rise who want to make a difference. Dusti got her start writing on the internet at a very young age, and has had an online business for over a decade — which means she's definitely got some stories to share. This was a lovely, free-flowing conversation that touched on so many different topics near & dear to my heart: growing up on the internet and doing everythi...
Season 5 Ep 17: Thoughts on (Almost!) Reaching 100 Episodes
July 12, 2021 04:01 - 13 minutes - 19 MBBy the end of this season, I will have put one HUNDRED episodes of Serving it HOT out into the world. Holy. Sh*t. I've learned a lot about myself since I started this podcast back at the beginning of 2020. Some of it was surprising — like how it's helped me find my voice in the leadership space. Some of it confirmed things I already knew — like that I need to take a break between seasons, or else I'll end up quitting altogether. So as season 5 winds to a close, and I move closer to tha...
Season 5 Ep 16: Embracing the Non-Linear Path with Michelle Cherian

But today, she's on my show, which means it's her turn in the hot se...
Season 5 Ep 15: Plants, Money, and Telling Yourself a New Story
July 05, 2021 04:01 - 15 minutes - 20.8 MBWe all have things in our lives that we feel like we'll never really figure out — especially those of us in leadership roles! (For me, two of those things were plants, and money.) But this week, I'm encouraging you to examine the stories you tell yourself around those things. Are they still true? Or have you been holding on to old, outdated beliefs about yourself and your abilities? Now don't get me wrong: I'm a huge fan of delegating out the things that just aren't in my wheelhouse. That ...
Season 5 Ep 14: Damaly Shepherd on Intuition and a Journey of Trust
July 01, 2021 04:01 - 42 minutes - 58.1 MBFor a lot of us, being photographed can be a vulnerable experience that brings up a lot of insecurities and not-so-great self talk. That's why my guest this week, Damaly Shepherd, is so passionate about the trust between photographers and their clients. And she would know! Damaly is a published photographer and writer whose mission in life is to help women OWN IT — both on camera and off. I was so excited to have this conversation with Damaly, partly because of my own interest in photogra...
Season 5 Ep 13: Are You In? Tuning In to the Divine
June 28, 2021 04:01 - 15 minutes - 21.3 MBHang onto your hat, because this episode is going to be a little bit wild. I want to talk about intuition, the spiritual practices that are a huge part of my work, and the idea of tuning in to the divine. I've held back from discussing this in the past, but no more! To be honest, when I knew I had to record a podcast for this week, I felt a little stuck until one of my amazing clients encouraged me to talk about all of this. When it comes to our personal development journeys, the more we b...

Her work helps women build businesses that allow them to have freedom and impact while building wealth, with the ultimate result of generational change. The timing on this episode couldn't be better. I'm traveling at the moment, and th...
Season 5 Ep 11: Building Your Summer Fun List
June 21, 2021 04:01 - 12 minutes - 17.2 MBIt's summer now, and that means I'm feeling footloose, fancy free, and yes — focused on fun. But you know what's a weird thing nobody really ever tells you? Having fun can be... kinda hard! I remember the moment I realized this. Back when I was first dipping my toe into the world of coaching, I practiced some tools and techniques with a coach buddy of mine. I had just listed off a whole bunch of things I love to do: seeing movies, dinner with friends, grabbing drinks, you get the idea. A...
Season 5 Ep 10: Telling Stories & Getting Curious with Shannon Whaley
June 17, 2021 04:01 - 47 minutes - 65.1 MBI hope you're ready to be delighted this week, because my guest today is the one, the only, the amazing Shannon Whaley. She's a Professional Certified Coach on a mission to help women get their message and magic out into the world — no hustle or burnout necessary. Shannon believes in putting pleasure and play first, and she walks that talk as she lives out her Eat, Pray, Love dream in Italy. I had an absolute blast during this conversation as we talked all about: how she ended up in Italy...
Season 5 Ep 9: Podcasting, Running, and Doing Hard Things
June 14, 2021 04:01 - 13 minutes - 19 MBOne thing you might not know about me is that I've run so many half marathons that I've lost count of them all. I know it's close to a dozen — that's enough to call myself a seasoned half-marathon runner, right? My most recent run was over the weekend, and I had to do things a little differently than I have in the past. Part of that, yes, was because of the 3-year gap between the last half marathon and this one, but there was a more to it than that. This time around, I had learned a few le...
Season 5 Ep 8: Self-Trust and Tuning Inwards with Fiona Wong
June 10, 2021 04:01 - 40 minutes - 55.9 MBI'm super excited to share today's conversation with self-proclaimed weirdo and Human Design badass Fiona Wong. A student of multiple spiritual systems and groups, Fiona takes a heretical approach to the systems she practices. In other words: this ain't your mama's take on Human Design. So if you've been on the fence (or even outright skeptical!) about Human Design, believe me when I say, this episode is 100% for you. Fiona and I talk about: Her definition of Human Design (in both profess...
Season 5 Ep 7: The Joy of Transparency, Openness, and Full Self-Expression
June 07, 2021 04:01 - 12 minutes - 16.8 MBHave you ever been told not to let people see you cry? Does the idea of showing up as your full, potentially vulnerable self kinda freak you out? If so, this episode is for you — because we're talking all about transparency and openness as a leader. Listen, I want other people to show up fully as themselves, and that's why I'm doing my best to lead by example. (And in the spirit of full disclosure, yes, you might hear one of the trains that runs past my new house with their horns blaring a...

Season 5 Ep 5: Building Trust, Inside and Out
May 31, 2021 04:01 - 14 minutes - 19.7 MBWhat does the word "trust" bring up for you? Do you think of other people, and the ways you allow them to support you? Or do you think of your relationship with yourself, your ability to identify and honor your needs? As a recovering perfectionist, I've worked hard to build a sense of trust — both internally and externally. So this week, I want to share a little bit of that journey with you. If you're out there listening but haven't joined my trauma sensitive leadership group yet, what a...

Season 5 Ep 3: Doing vs Being, Trying vs Allowing
May 24, 2021 04:01 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MBSometimes as leaders and entrepreneurs, we can focus a bit too much on forward momentum and checking off boxes. But what do you do when all your attempts to move the needle just feel like banging your head against the wall? As a recovering perfectionist, my default settings are doing and trying rather than being and allowing. The difference here isn't just a matter of word choice — it's energetic. Do you get a little bit anxious at the thought of stepping back and dropping into the ene...
Season 5 Ep 2: Meaghan Lamm's Journey of Patience and Curiosity

May 17, 2021 04:01 - 12 minutes - 16.8 MBWelcome back to Serving it HOT! If you're a long time listener, you already know how much I value open and honest discussions around trauma. Over the past few years, I've witnessed an increased awareness around trauma as a whole. You know what else I've noticed? As people become more aware of trauma, they start to ask themselves questions like, "Is this behavior a trauma response? And if it is... is it actually serving me?" Today, I'm going to kick off season 5 by talking about just that...
Season 4 Ep 20: Shanda Brown on Holistic, Proactive Self-Care
April 01, 2021 04:01 - 38 minutes - 53.1 MBToday, I'm wrapping up season 4 by sharing this conversation with mom, entrepreneur, creator and licensed social worker Shanda Brown.

Season 4 Ep 19: Safely Holding Space for Self-Discovery in Your Business
March 29, 2021 04:01 - 15 minutes - 21.9 MBCan you believe we're almost ready to wrap up season 4?! I always like to do a little bit of reflection at the end of a podcast season, and this one is no different. This time around, I've been inspired by a conversation with a lovely friend. She reached out to me and said, "Your business is BOOMING, what's different? What did you do?!" Great question, right? So that's what I want to share with all of you on this episode. Because, spoiler alert: I didn't do all the things people taught m...

And according to Katherine, "Any pain you can get rid of is unnecessary." Now, even though we talk a lot about emotional pain and trauma on this show, this is prob...
Season 4 Ep 17: It's OK to not be OK!
March 22, 2021 04:01 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBYou know that old expression "shit happens"? Well, it's true. Sometimes, no matter how much you plan ahead or watch your step, bad stuff happens. We get triggered. We deal with tough situations. How do you usually react when shit happens? A lot of us feel like we have no choice but to power through — and definitely NOT tell anyone what's going on. Today, I want to make the case for being transparent. Leading with transparency is hard, and requires an extra dose of bravery — but I fully b...
Season 4 Ep 16: Normalizing the Journey with Lisa Dennen-Young

Season 4 Ep 15: Stop Compartmentalizing! Why Fully Honoring Yourself is a Leadership Act
March 15, 2021 04:01 - 11 minutes - 15.5 MBIf you asked me at the beginning of 2020, "Hey Lisa, are you honoring your true nature?" I probably would have said yes. But now, over a year later, I can see how showing up in this way, having these conversations, and speaking my thoughts and learnings aloud... well, it's opened a floodgate inside of me. Here's the thing: once you start to fully honor yourself, there's no going back. I may not have expected this, but I'm leaning ALL the way in. I want to tell the truth in all areas of my ...

Season 4 Ep 13: Why You Should Celebrate Yourself — Yep, YOU!
March 08, 2021 05:01 - 11 minutes - 15.8 MBBreak out the the candles, the cake, and the confetti because it's my birthday month! Yes, I do make a point to celebrate myself for an entire month — and I encourage you to do it, too. It doesn't have to be this month, it doesn't even have to be 30 (or 31) consecutive days, but honoring and celebrating yourself is important for so many reasons. For me, this grew naturally from two things: a less-than-stellar birthday, and my practice of self-love on Valentine's day. (episode 5 of this sea...
Season 4 Ep 12: Authentic Visibility and Expansion with Sarah Vermunt
March 04, 2021 05:01 - 40 minutes - 55.5 MBToo many of us have been in the position where we hate our jobs... but we can't even dream up a job we'd love. That's where my guest this week, Sarah Vermunt, truly shines. As the founder of Careergasm, she helps people figure out what the heck they WANT to do — so they can quit those awful jobs and do work that feels good. Sarah and I cover a lot of ground in this conversation: how she (and her super cute sneakers) walks the walk when it comes to rebelling against the patriarchy her l...
Season 4 Ep 11: (Almost) Everything You Need to Know About READY!
March 01, 2021 05:01 - 18 minutes - 25.1 MBIt's officially March, and you know what that means. Spring is coming to the northern hemisphere. It's my birthday month (woo!). Aaaaand.... it's almost time to kick off my next cohort of READY!, my grief, loss, and trauma sensitive certification program for coaches and other service professionals. I'm sure you already know how jazzed I am about this, since I've been talking a lot about READY! on the podcast this season. But today I wanted to go into a little more detail about: the lig...
Season 4 Ep 10: Playing by Heart with Jake Bass
February 25, 2021 05:01 - 41 minutes - 57.2 MBDoes the name Jake Bass ring a bell? It should!

Season 4 Ep 9: Trauma Sensitive Leadership Is Timeless — NOT Trendy!
February 22, 2021 05:01 - 11 minutes - 15.7 MBFrom bowl cuts and bleached tips to terrycloth pants with words on the butt, one thing you can say about trends is that they come and (thankfully) go. And hey, I'm not immune to trendy stuff — but some things should be timeless. Why am I thinking about bad 90's fashion trends? Well, on my recent foray into the world of Clubhouse, I joined a group discussion about why trauma sensitive practice shouldn't be trendy. Since I'm gearing up for a new cohort of Ready!, my grief, loss, and trauma s...
Season 4 Ep 8: Soaring Higher than "Should" with SharRon Jamison
February 18, 2021 05:01 - 44 minutes - 61.7 MBYou know what word I really don't like? "Should."

SharRon wears a LOT of hats: she's a life strategist, author, minister, entrepreneur, and corporate leader who is committed to helping you be the person you were born to be... and not settle for what society has taught and told you to be. Along with having an incredible way with words, SharRon is a deeply spi...
Season 4 Ep 7: Safety Within Creates Safety Without
February 15, 2021 05:01 - 13 minutes - 18.5 MBI've spoken about trauma a lot in this season of Serving it HOT — and that's partly because I'm a trauma-sensitive leadership coach educator. Many of my clients have a history of trauma themselves, and I'm sure many of you listening do, too. Hey — we're all human, and we all struggle sometimes. Whether we're talking big-T or little-t, our trauma (and how we respond to it) can seep into our work, like a drop of dye spreading through a bowl of water. So today, let's talk about how creating...

Season 4 Ep 5: Choosing Self-Love this Valentine's Day
February 08, 2021 05:01 - 10 minutes - 14 MBLike a lot of people, I have some... mixed feelings about Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong, the concept is great, but with all the stuff around it? Whether I was single or partnered, I always ended up feeling a little let down by V-Day. But not anymore! I want to tell you about how I reclaimed Valentine's Day in the name of self-love and started a tradition that has come to mean so, so much to me. As always, you can find me over at lisakuzman.com and, if you're feeling the love, book ...

February 01, 2021 05:01 - 14 minutes - 20.1 MBAs entrepreneurs, we spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for the future — especially early in the year. And when you know you want to make big changes in your business, that can feel a little overwhelming. (Note: by "a little" I mean "incredibly") The good news is that, no matter how ambitious your long game plans are, they don't have to be panic-inducing!
