Episode 127: Finding Joy with Special Guest Lori Pine

Описание: If you’ve done everything you were “supposed” to do, built the career, hit the milestones, kept everyone afloat, why do you still feel exhausted, disconnected, or unfulfilled?

In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Anna Gibbs sits down with leadership coach and keynote speaker Lori Pine, founder of The Joy CEO, to talk about why success on paper doesn’t always translate to fulfillment and how joy is a real leadership strategy, not a fluffy concept or a future reward.
This conversation is for high-achieving women business leaders who want the next level of success, but not at the cost of their peace, purpose, or relationships. You’ll learn practical mindset shifts and simple frameworks to reclaim your power, reconnect with what you value, and create momentum without burning out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to stop tying productivity to self-worth (and escape the productivity trap)
Lori Pine’s “hula hoop” framework to focus on what you can control and release the rest
Easy steps to reconnect with your values beyond titles, goals, and achievements
The “bamboo tree” lesson that reframes slow seasons, growth, and momentum
Why entrepreneurship and leadership can feel lonely and how community supports breakthrough

Guest: Lori Pine is a leadership coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The Joy CEO. She helps ambitious, high-achieving women recapture joy, purpose, and alignment without sacrificing professional ambition.
