On this week’s podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Cherie Albucher, a multi-faceted entrepreneur, councilwoman, and leader who empowers women to step into leadership roles. Our conversation focused on strategies for getting unstuck and maintaining resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
Getting Unstuck Through Breathing and Baby Steps
When I asked Cherie about how she gets unstuck, she shared her journey of learning to breathe and take baby steps. She emphasized the importance of pausing to ground yourself when feeling overwhelmed. Cherie learned that taking a moment to breathe and assess the situation allows her to make better choices and move forward more effectively.
Embracing Vulnerability and Community Support
Cherie highlighted the power of vulnerability and reaching out to others for support. She stressed that it’s okay to not have everything figured out and that leaning on your community during difficult times is crucial. Throughout our conversation, Cherie emphasized the importance of collaboration and building a network of supportive relationships. She believes that by understanding our own strengths and weaknesses, and knowing who we can turn to for help, we become more resilient and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
Resilience in the Face of Unexpected Challenges
We discussed how Cherie maintains resilience during turbulent times, particularly in the context of running a business in Israel. She shared her experience of pivoting her business during COVID and learning to adapt to unexpected circumstances. Cherie’s resilience comes from her faith, gratitude practice, and ability to collaborate with others.
Finding Inspiration in Everyday Leadership
When asked about who inspires her, Cherie emphasized the importance of recognizing leadership in everyday actions. She encouraged listeners to find their own strengths and use them to make a difference, even in small ways like volunteering at a child’s school or reaching out to a friend in need.
