Welcome back the thoughtful, wise and inspiring Amanda Le Rougetel—a writer, teacher, and believer in the power of the written word to help us process, express, and reconnect with ourselves.

In this episode, we explore writing (and re-reading) as a form of self-reflection and transformation—a way to make your mark not only on the page, but in your life. Amanda invites us to

• make the mark, write!
• Take up space - actually and figuratively!
• Reflect. Re-read. Review. ...from a new perspective
• and then... inspired by this new perspective and out of the review, spark (maybe transform!) something positive in your life today!

How might we make our mark, and consider the truth about what we’re living, noticing, and becoming?

✨ What if the story you’re telling yourself could shift—just by writing it down?

💌 Listen for Amanda's gentle but powerful challenge— write for just 3 minutes using one of her 3 prompts!

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that your words matter, your story is unfolding, and writing it down might just be the first step to reclaiming your voice, your clarity, and your peace.

Tune in. Take a breath. Take 3 minutes to write something positive that will impact your day, week ... and the legacy you inspire in people around you.

Welcome to Overflow — where we refuel, recharge, and return to the world more powerful than ever.

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce a dynamic and electrifying guest who brings rhythm to wellness and joy to the everyday: Val Shah, the visionary behind DROM — a movement experience that blends the beat of the drum with the grounding breath of "Om."

Val is a master at helping people move from chaos to calm, from burnout to bliss, through the simple yet powerful magic of rhythm, movement, and mindfulness. With DROM, she’s created an experience that is equal parts cardio, creative expression, and soul connection — and I cannot wait for you to feel what happens when your heartbeat aligns with your joy.

This episode/session/conversation is for you if you're feeling drained, overworked, or craving something more — more joy, more energy, more YOU. Val and I talk about what it means to live from your overflow, to move your body with intention, and to reconnect with your inner rhythm so you can face the world with strength and serenity.

Get ready to get fired up, let go, and come back to yourself. Let’s dive into the beat, the breath, and the brilliance of DROM with Val Shah.

Thank you for joining us for this energizing, heart-opening episode with Val Shah from DROM.

If something stirred in you today—if you’re thinking about your team, your workplace, your culture—know this: when people are supported to take what they need to fill up, to breathe, to move, to reconnect with themselves... they live in overflow.

And when they live in overflow, they do their best work. They share bold ideas. They ask questions. They collaborate, communicate, and thrive.

So if you’re a leader wondering how to bring more calm, energy, strength, and growth into your team or organization—let’s talk.

Our door is open. We partner with teams and leaders anywhere in the world, and we can make (almost) anything work—with energy, with calm, and with strength.

✨ Because when your people are filled up, everything changes.

Let’s build a culture of OVERFLOW—together!!

Career Coach Kadine Cooper is back on the Overflow Podcast with Kimberly Snider—bringing her signature wisdom, clarity, and calm encouragement for anyone standing at a crossroads in their professional life.

Kadine reminds us: career change doesn’t have to happen at breakneck speed. Sometimes, the most powerful move is to be still, reflect deeply, and ask:

Tune in for career insight, soulful questions, and permission to wonder.

Welcome back to Overflow, the podcast where we invite incredible leaders, trailblazers, and women in big careers to share their journeys—not just their successes, but the moments of doubt, resilience, and deep personal growth that led them to their own version of overflow. Today, I am thrilled to welcome Tara Downey, founder of Trū, an inspiring financial expert, a bold leader in a male-dominated industry, and a woman who has redefined success by following her intuition and leading with kindness.

Tara’s story is one of courage—she built an impressive corporate career, leading a national team of 400 and managing a $50 million budget—yet she knew her energy was meant for something more. She found a spark! and then... She took the leap, launched her own financial practice during COVID, and today, she’s in OVERflow, changing the way financial advice and care are offered.

Let's have a conversation about

• the importance of mindset and financial planning in managing life's transitions.
• your "money story" and how it can guide individuals in making decisions about their finances (she has a creative tip to addressing money as a relationship in our life!)
• future-self, vision and seeking a strong, compassionate guide to partner with as you make financial decisions.

...and she will be back to share and inspire a summer book challenge - a money book!

Please join me in welcoming Tara who is on a mission to help women embrace financial confidence and love their money story, regardless of its past chapters.

You think for a living. You solve problems. You analyze, strategize, and execute at high levels.

...when was the last time you used that brilliant brain of yours… to design your own life?

🛑 Pause.

💡 Think.

🩷 Appeal to your heart.

Your career, your business, your leadership—these are reflections of the decisions you make.

The strategy you create.

The future-self vision you hold in your heart.

🌱 What if, today, you gave yourself 5 minutes to step out of the constant doing… and into intentional thinking?

💭 What do you truly want?

💭 What would it feel like to work, lead, and live in overflow, not burnout?

💭 What’s one small shift that would move you toward that vision today?

Here's your five minutes. Listen and receive the five minute pause. The five minutes are here with the intention to refuel, re-group and re-energize. Time to shift from overdrive to OVERFLOW - overflowing with calm, strong, joy, and ease.

Your brain is a powerful tool. But your heart? That’s your true north. Let it lead… then let your mind build the strategy to make it real.

💪🩷 What’s one thought or decision you’re making for yourself today?

By the way, this gratitude journal has been lovingly crafted with a blend of motivation, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of inspiration. Inside, you'll find prompts to help you slow down, reflect, and honor the moments and people that have shaped who you are—past, present, and future.
