In this powerful episode of The Momentum Shift, host C. Eric Collier — The Mayor of Motivation — sits down with Dr. Cynthia Pace, widely known as The Leadership Guru, to expose one of the most overlooked drains on organizational performance: ineffective meetings.

Eric opens the conversation by challenging listeners with a familiar question — “Have you ever walked out of a meeting wondering why you were even there?” — setting the stage for a deep dive into Dr. Pace’s mission to transform how leaders plan, lead, and leverage meetings for real results.

Dr. Pace introduces her superpower: Mindful Meeting Management, a framework that helps teams reclaim time, money, and momentum by shifting the way they think about gathering people together. She breaks down the staggering financial cost of poorly run meetings, shares real‑world examples from executive teams, and reveals why leaders often overlook meetings as a root cause of organizational stagnation.

Together, Eric and Dr. Pace explore:

> The hidden financial and emotional cost of unproductive meetings

> Why “meeting fatigue” is a leadership problem, not a scheduling problem

> How one person — like “Sharon” — can derail an entire room

> The mindset shift leaders must make to create purposeful, results‑driven meetings

Dr. Pace’s personal momentum shift and how she became a global voice for leadership excellence

This episode is packed with insight, humor, and practical tools leaders can apply immediately. Whether you lead a team, run a department, or simply want to stop wasting time in rooms that go nowhere, Dr. Pace delivers a blueprint for reclaiming focus and driving meaningful outcomes.

If you’re ready to elevate your leadership and transform the way you gather people, this conversation will shift the way you think about meetings forever.

In this powerful episode of The Momentum Shift, C. Eric Collier sits down with nurse, educator, coach, entrepreneur, and powerhouse mom Cheryl Palmer, the visionary behind Cheryl on Lux and the Organized Opulence Podcast. Cheryl’s story is a masterclass in resilience — from single motherhood to ICU nursing to launching a brand dedicated to helping women reclaim their peace, purpose, and personal power.

Cheryl opens up about the years she spent pouring into everyone else — patients, colleagues, family — while running on empty herself. She shares the moment she realized she was working seven days a week, losing herself in the chaos, and needed to rebuild her life from the inside out. What followed was a transformational journey of self‑care, structure, boundaries, and rediscovering her own voice.

Together, Eric and Cheryl dive into:

>How caregivers, moms, and career professionals lose themselves without realizing it

>Why structure, planning, and intentional routines reduce chaos and restore clarity

>The mental and emotional toll of overworking — and how to break the cycle

>The courage it takes to start something new when people doubt you

>How Cheryl turned her lived experiences into a platform that empowers others

>The power of shutting out discouraging voices and trusting your calling

>Why momentum begins the moment you stop waiting for the “perfect time”

Cheryl’s honesty, wisdom, and lived experience will inspire anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode. Her journey is proof that you can rise up, rebuild your life, and redefine what’s possible — no matter how chaotic things feel today.

If you’re ready to take back your time, your peace, and your purpose, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to start your shift.

Don’t just listen — take action. Your momentum begins now.

You're exhausted from dimming your light, secretly angry at settling for "good enough," and terrified of what people will think if you finally show up fully as YOU.
