“Everyone seems to be growing, succeeding, and moving forward except me.”

I hear a version of this almost every day. But growth is rarely as visible as we think it is.

Just because your season looks different doesn’t mean you’re behind.

Most people wait until they feel ready.

Greta Siedow raised her hand when she was 80% there and ended up leading one of the most prestigious women’s sporting events in the world.

Meet Greta, VP at Rx and General Chair of the 2026 Championship at .

She did not get the opportunity out of nowhere.

She spent years showing up. Volunteering. Building trust. Quietly becoming ready before the title ever arrived.

In this week’s Rise to More, Greta shares the leadership lessons, pressure, faith, and relationships that shaped both her career and the way she leads.

We talked about:

• Why waiting until you feel ready may be holding you back
• The moment she stepped into a role nobody handed her
• Leading through influence instead of authority
• Why opening doors for others matters
• Faith and staying grounded under pressure
• What it means to make sure all ships rise

This conversation stayed with me.

Sometimes the opportunities that change our lives arrive before we feel fully ready.

The challenge isn’t ambition.

It’s having the courage to ask whether the life you’re building is one you truly chose.

Christine Sovereign built one of the most impressive careers in corporate America. But the role she was born to play has nothing to do with quarterly results. It has everything to do with her sister.

She is now the president and CEO of the 2026 . 4,000 athletes. All 50 states. Right here in Minnesota this June.

In this week’s Rise to More, Christine shares what happens when purpose and profession finally become the same thing.

We talked about:
•Leading with heart when the world told her to stop being so pink
•Why she almost said no and why she’s glad she didn’t
•The employment crisis hiding in plain sight: only 18.5% of people with intellectual disabilities are employed at a level matching their abilities
•What “Forever Changed” really means
•Why 75,000 people in Minnesota stadiums this June could shift something permanent

This conversation lit me up. Christine is warm, strategic, and exactly where she’s supposed to be.
