BenchTalk by Jackie Mitchell

This episode!!!! Yes, this episode... raw and uncut with my good friend, LaChelle T. Paker, Lifestyle Strategist of THE FORMULA! In this episode, we're talking about the things WE DO TO OURSELVES as women... like putting unrealistic goals AND limits on ourselves. Listen in as I reclaim my time and challenge you on finding that thing for yourself that you'll reclaim, finally. This lively and enlightening conversation will take you behind the scenes of two entrepreneurs who are having a really vulnerable conversation about their experiences in business as entrepreneurs AND previously as career women / employees. Join us as we laugh, cry, praise, and so much more! You can find LaChelle T.

We're talking about FEELINGS. YES FEELINGS!! I'm going to get in your FEELINGS because way too often YOU don't get into your feelings enough to help answer the questions you want answered. That may sound odd coming from someone with my background and it may go against common beliefs on HOW to make decisions for yourself. We neglect FEELINGS way too much. Interestingly though, some of the most successful people I know, myself included, go with their 'gut feelings' when making a decision. Why? Because we trust ourselves. We look externally for answers to the questions we have. It's not until qualified people point out the answer you've always had but didn't want to believe or didn't trust. Join me in this episode for an EMOTIONAL EXERCISE to help you get CLARITY to answers to the questions you're asking yourself about SATISFACTION, FULFILLMENT, and CHANGE. ✔ BRING PAPER AND A PEN ****** And if you enjoyed this exercise and want more guidance on how to have a fulfilling career, please sign up for my FREE TRAINING here: https://www.jackiemitchellcareerconsulting.com/workshop

Join me on the bench for episode 21 -- Who Do You Have to Become? We've all heard that saying by now... 'who do you have to become to have the things you've never had?' Well, here's my take on this when it comes to achieving your goals... no matter what goal: career, professional, personal, doesn't matter. I'm challenging you to dig a little deeper to transform your mindset because it all starts with you. Before you can set out to DO any thing, you need to become a certain type of person. Who will you become? If this resonates with you, please like, share, comment, and subscribe to my podcast on any platform.

In this episode of BenchTalk, I'm pulling the veil back on how WE overcomplicate going after the things we want. Going after what we want can be scary and challenging at times. But we don't make it any easier when we count ourselves out, self sabotage, and listen to the self doubt and chatter in our heads. In this episode, I'm breaking down the top 9 ways we screw things up for ourselves. Then, after I give you a moment to side eye me because I'm exposing your secrets, I'm giving you the top 5 ways to get out of your own way. Hey, my goal is to help you be successful. BUT how are you going to change behavior if you haven't identified what the behavior is that's keeping you swimming in your pool of fear and doubt? So grab a pen and paper, listen in, take notes, and then start going after what you really want! Start living the life you really want. This is a raw and unfiltered (a little adult language) conversation. NSFW.

Let’s talk about ‘Surviving Toxic Work Environments’.... Or NOT. Let’s talk about how we should STOP telling women to ‘Survive’ in or ‘Cope’ with these situations. In this Episode of BenchTalk, I am all over this topic and not holding a bit back because I’m passionate about helping women succeed. AND I’m not holding anything back because I want to share what I’ve seen, what I’ve personally experienced, and what so many of YOU have shared with me. It’s time we do something different. It’s time we move in a different way. It’s time we change the narrative and it’s time we change the way we speak to Women and what we advise them to do. Oh and yes...the first 5 minutes is about me being extremely vulnerable about why this March this is significant for me. I was on the fence about whether to keep this bit in or not… I kept it in there, unfiltered because maybe it will inspire someone out there. Speaking of unfiltered…. This is a raw and unfiltered (a little adult language) conversation and with my non-traditional views about how we show up in the workplace and how the workplace serves us. NSFW.
