How 2025 started and what's next for the Do Good & Do Well Podcast

This month, I’m taking some time for deeper reflection, and I wanted to share some of that with you. This special episode is a collection of standout moments from this year's conversations, all woven around the central theme of purpose.

You'll hear clips from all of my incredible 2025 guests, each sharing insights that made me pause and think. We explore why we do the work we do, what gets in the way, and what this idea of 'purpose' truly means. I've created this as a space for you to reflect, too. As you listen, I invite you to consider what resonates, what challenges you, and what small steps you might want to take next in your own journey.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Past Shapes Your Leadership: Our personal histories and childhood experiences create patterns that show up in our leadership. To lead effectively and authentically, we must do the work to understand our own "stuff" and how it impacts our teams and mission. It's not about becoming a different leader, but a better version of yourself.

  • Purpose is an Evolution, Not a Destination: The values that drive you are not set in stone. As you grow and experience the world, your understanding deepens. A value of 'kindness' might evolve into 'fairness,' which might then become a commitment to 'justice' and 'liberation.' This non-linear journey is a natural and powerful part of living a purpose-driven life.

  • Small Actions Create Big Ripples: You don't need to have all the answers or a grand plan to start making a difference. Change can begin with something as simple as changing your language to be more inclusive, starting a conversation with your community, or simply sharing your story. These small, deliberate acts have a ripple effect you may never fully see.

  • Ground Yourself Before You Act: In moments of pressure, it's easy to fall into old habits like people-pleasing. Before making a decision, use a simple framework like the 'Five Cs' to check in with yourself: How
    Calm, Clear, Curious, Courageous, and Compassionate am I? This pause allows you to act from a place of intention rather than reaction.
