Eating Your Cake Too Podcast

Ever wish you knew then what you know now? In this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 career lessons I’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes. From trusting your gut, to learning how to communicate (and network) like a pro, these insights have shaped my career journey and could make a huge difference in yours too. 

Here’s what I’m covering in this episode:

💡 Lesson 1: Hard work alone won’t speak for itself – you need to share your wins, but you can do it strategically!!
💡 Lesson 2: Don’t expect your manager to be a mind reader – you have to own your own career path.
💡 Lesson 3: How you communicate is just as important as what you communicate.
💡 Lesson 4: Nurture relationships and networks throughout your career, not just when you need something.
💡 Lesson 5: Not all advice is created equal – know yourself and filter what you choose to listen to.

Let’s get real – is the To-Do List ever really done?

After a whirlwind few months of book launches, client work, and events, I’m here to say "Ahhh, hell no... it’s not" – which means WE have to get better at building in brain breaks and setting boundaries to ensure we can show up as our most effective, impactful selves.

In this latest episode of Eating Your Cake Too, I’m diving into the habits we need to unlearn if we want to stop running ourselves into the ground, both in business and in life. I’ll share what I’ve learned about productivity, creativity, and the real value of rest, along with the better habits I’m building into my own business.

Here’s what we’re covering in this episode:

🛑 The unhealthy habits I’m unlearning:

Pushing through at all costs and how it leads to exhaustion.

Compromising creativity and quality for unnecessary urgency.

Treating rest as a reward, rather than an essential part of high performance.

✅ The better habits I’m embracing:

Building “brain breathers” into my business processes.

Understanding rest as a key ingredient for high performance.

Setting and keeping strong boundaries, even when others don’t.

Listen in on your favourite podcast platform to learn more about these simple yet powerful shifts that’ll help you build a career where you thrive, not just survive.

 “I’d love to see you leverage your strengths more in this role”. 

“Just play to your strengths - the rest will follow”. 

Ever had or heard feedback like this before? 

It’s not wrong, but it isn’t overly helpful either. 

What is often lacking in this conventional advice about strengths play, is the actual “HOW TO” of playing to your strengths to achieve outcomes for yourself, your team, and your organisation.

My view on this is that there are actually FOUR critical parts that form part of the ‘play to your strengths’ equation, and all four need to be in sync in order for you to be effective. 

Here’s my formula on what it really takes to play to your strengths well: 

Know them + Own them + Leverage them + Know the point of reverse impact 

In this month's podcast, I dive deep into the formula above and give you practical insights as to what it means to know, own, leverage, and know the reverse point of impact in order to increase your impact at work.

Workplace entitlement, or ‘entitled employees’ is something we are hearing ALOT of talk about at the moment. 

So I decided to sit down for a chat with the one of the best in the business to talk about what actually is employee entitlement, and why is it such a hot topic right now?

In our latest podcast episode, Trina Sunday shares her 25 years of knowledge in the HR and OD space, as well as her unique perspective to our discussion.  

Trina shares her wisdom on how to effectively address entitlement, whether it's from employees, managers, or within teams. Drawing from her own experiences and beliefs, Trina sheds light on the evolving ways of working among different generations and why it is so important that as individuals we step back and check ourselves and our own beliefs systems before we use them to judge others.  

If you’re eager to connect with Trina and continue your journey toward a more harmonious and productive workplace, make sure to catch her here, or check out Reimagine HR  Here.
