This time on Rosie in My Pocket, it’s all about celebrating your wins! 🌟
We’ve been taught to hold back our pride, but it’s time to celebrate our wins, big and small—just like kids do! With Thanksgiving around the corner, take a moment to be grateful and proudly own your accomplishments.

Let’s be real: life has been throwing lemons at us like a fast-pitch machine lately. And while we can’t always control what’s happening around us, we can control how we respond. In this episode, I unpack a powerful insight inspired by Viktor Frankl: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are forced to change ourselves.”
The stories we tell ourselves shape how we experience challenges. So, how do we rewrite those stories to help us cope, avoid burnout, and actually grow from the disruption swirling around us?
In this episode, I break it down with practical advice and a gentle reminder: we’re stronger and more resilient than we give ourselves credit for!
In this episode, I tackle the challenge of managing an overloaded to-do list and competing priorities. How do you decide what truly deserves your time and attention, and what can be set aside? We explore a powerful metaphor that can help—imagine all your responsibilities as balls in a bucket. Some are glass, some are wood, and some are rubber.
Glass balls represent the critical tasks that, if dropped, will shatter. Wood balls may get dented but can recover. Rubber balls? They’ll bounce back if you let them drop. Understanding this distinction is key to managing stress and avoiding overwhelm.
Learn how to identify these "balls" in your life, set boundaries, and focus on what truly matters. Aligning your actions with your core values and purpose can help you navigate life with more calm and clarity. After all, calm is a leadership superpower!
Tune in to learn how you can juggle life’s priorities more effectively and let your true self shine.
What is the importance of seeking authentic feedback to challenge self-limiting beliefs and assumptions?
Rosie explores the common misconceptions leaders often have about their value—whether it's being the fixer, the person with all the answers, or the one who always keeps everyone happy. Through a powerful exercise known as the "interview test," we learn how to ask those around us the right questions to uncover the true impact we have on others.
In this episode, Rosie challenges listeners to let go of taking responsibility for others' outcomes. She shares that leaders often try to save people or work harder than the individuals themselves, whether in the workplace, parenting, or coaching.
Rosie emphasizes that while leaders should call others to greatness, provide clear expectations, and be supportive, they must let go of attachment to the outcomes. Rosie reminds us that when we let others be responsible for their own success, everyone gets to shine a little brighter.
The impact of our word choices is profound. With years of experience guiding clients and colleagues, Rosie shares her insights into the crucial distinction between helping, fixing, and serving.
Learn why helping can unintentionally position others as weak and fixing can make them feel broken.
Through Rosie's nuanced discussion, leaders will discover how shifting towards a mindset of service allows them to see others—and themselves—as whole and complete.
Challenge yourself when using helping or fixing language by replacing it with words of service. This kind of transformative language can lead to significant changes in how we interact with others, fostering a more empowering and supportive leadership style.
Learn how adopting a service-oriented approach can amplify your leadership impact.
