Work-life balance is something we all strive for, in one way or another. It's this concept of creating enough energy so we can excel at work and still enjoy all of the elements that make up our lives.

When it comes down to it, it's really about creating boundaries around how work shows up for us in our lives. In this week's episode, Kim and Louise get a chance to talk with Conscious Launch Strategist & Copy Coach For The Internet Rich And Famous, Sage Polaris.

Sage is one of those amazing people who has figured out how to set and maintain those boundaries - to the tune of taking four months off every year! Who wouldn't want to learn how to build more time off in our work so we can truly enjoy our lives?

Butterflies are beautiful. They've transformed themselves from caterpillars (also beautiful, but in a different way).

And, when butterflies land in your stomach they can be downright annoying and even debilitating.

It can be particularly challenging when those butterflies show up at work. But what can you do about them?   Well, that's what Kim and Louise are talking with Heidi Pauer, founder of Kind Finds, this week. Heidi's background in education and the arts has let her experience the butterflies from all angles.

It often feels as though we're living in a pressure cooker. People are restless, volatile, and tempers are blowing up left and right.

And, most of us don't want to live this way. We are looking for a way out, a way that feels more stable, secure, and grounded.

That's where emotional freedom comes in.

There are a multitude of ways we can approach finding emotional freedom in our lives, including EMDR, EFT (or "tapping"), and somatic awareness.

On this week's episode, Kim and Louise are joined by Life Coach and Master EFT Practitioner Jennifer "Taz" Vazquez to discuss how the importance of reclaiming our emotional freedom and how we might go about doing just that.

No one wants to feel like an imposter. But the truth is, many of us do. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong or you don’t deserve your job, know that you’re not alone.

In fact, according to a recent research study, nearly two-thirds (62%) of workers worldwide reported experiencing imposter syndrome at some point in their careers.

If you’re personally struggling with imposter syndrome or are working with others who are exhibiting some of the common traits, there are a lot of things you can do to reduce those feelings.

On this episode, Louise and Kim are joined by Michele Delgado, founder of Harmetrics Consulting, where her mission is to empower leaders who find themselves navigating the complexity of imposter syndrome by helping them implement systems to achieve their desired outcomes for positive growth.  You can learn more about Michele and the work she does at: https://www.hartmetrics.com
