Having a client change their mind for the 17th time. Getting a 10pm "PLS FIX" email that blows up your night. Working 80 hour weeks on the regular.

Of course you're going to feel annoyed, frustrated & exhausted when it happens.

But when we constantly villainize our jobs by blaming the client, the email or the industry for how WE feel, we both disempower ourselves & make our anger, frustration & exhaustion feel worse.

In this week's episode, I'm diving in to discuss how you can stop villainizing your job, let go of the anger, frustration & exhaustion & make peace with fickle clients, the 10pm "PLS FIX," 80+ hour work weeks, & more.

There are a lot of ways to achieve success in your career.  Most of them don't feel good. They require us to overwork to get there, which means MORE time, MORE energy & MORE pressure.

Sustainable success is the opposite of overworking. It means feeling so good within your career that you have the time & energy to create a life you love outside of it.

You can't be overworking & creating sustainable success at the same time. It's one or the other.

And in this week's episode, I'm diving in to discuss the ONLY thing you need to create sustainable success in your career, for good.

Feeling overwhelmed & overworked in your career?

Sanity & success aren't mutually exclusive . The key is to stop overworking: doing more than is necessary to achieve the exact same level of success you have in your career right now. 

In this week's episode, I'm diving in to talk about:
-The Overworking Equation (i.e. the belief driving you to keep overworking)

-Why it's so important to stop overworking early in your career

When you're feeling overworked & overwhelmed in your career, finding time to think seems impossible. But creating & protecting the time to process everything on your mind IS the fastest way to stop overworking & start feeling better at work.

When we  hit pause & make time to think, we stop OVERthinking.  We make faster decisions that move us towards what we want with ease. And we feel confident in the direction we're heading because we know WHY we're going there.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Claire Shorall, CEO & Cofounder of Topknot - an online platform & life coaching alternative - to talk about why we need to make more time to think & how Topknot provides an affordable, accessible space for women to do this through structured 1:1 peer conversations that lead to personal growth.
