Rosie in My Pocket: Red Lights

What if hitting every red light was exactly what you needed?

Rosie turns a frustrating drive full of red lights into a powerful reflection on life, leadership, and the magic of slowing down. Instead of blowing through the signs that tell us to pause, what if we embraced them as invitations to stop, breathe, and tune in?

Rosie challenges our go-go-go mindset, exploring how seemingly annoying interruptions —both on the road and in life —might actually be divine nudges to reflect, reset, and lead with greater presence.

So next time you hit a red light, don’t just sit there... take the moment, soak it in, and move forward with clarity.

Rosie in My Pocket: Listening with a Spirit of Service

Ever catch yourself “listening” but really just waiting for your turn to talk? Or maybe you jump in with advice before the other person even finishes?

I’ve been there too. In this episode, I flip the script on how we think about listening and challenge us to trade quick fixes and snap judgments for something deeper: listening with a spirit of service.

Instead of making conversations about us—whether through commiserating, tuning out, or problem-solving—I share how we can quiet our inner dialogue and truly tune in. When we listen this way, complaints transform into clues about unmet goals, people feel genuinely seen, and connection grows stronger.

Listening isn’t just a skill—it’s a superpower that helps others shine and allows us to build more meaningful relationships.
