Our guest today, Mayda Poc, is a badass who went from Wall Street to working as an International Life Coach for Executives. She's lived all over the world, Paris, London, New York City (damn is there anyplace this woman hasn't been?) and was living life in the fast lane...until life tapped her on the shoulder and said "'Hey girl! Why don't you slow down a bit?" and handed her a cancer diagnosis that caused her to re-evaluate her place in the rat race and gave her pause to reflect on what really matters to her.  It was in that space that she regained balance in her life and how spends her career helping busy women and executives just like us find more zen, fulfillment and purpose in their lives and careers.

You know, Mayda, as a typical overachiever, holds multiple certifications and accreditations in Life Coaching, Career and Corporate coaching as well as health coaching and aims to help women heal their mind, body and spirit. She helps women find their feminine essence, even in more 'masculine' settings, and teaches women everywhere that we do NOT need to let go of who we are as WOMEN and can lean into our femininity and STILL be relevant as women in middle age.

Hell yes! Women have been so conditioned to believe that youth and beauty is our only asset.  But girl, we are here to remind you that you are strong and powerful and, with your years of wisdom and experience you CAN find your place in life and work...AND find yourself!

In this episode, Mayda reminds us:

1. Sometimes life just pushes you in the right direction and you're, virtually, forced to do something differently. Other times, the message to make a shift comes with a whisper and requires more intentional planning. Embrace it all.
2. When the time is right, look inside yourself and at all of your resources: time, money, knowledge, and choose a path forward from a place of empowerment vs. lack of choice.
3. It's normal to panic. We see perfection everywhere....in advertising, social media...but, what we don't see is the hard work that went into getting them to that place. Ask yourself what is the panic about...then tackle that fear/concern. Eventually, there will be no more obstacles and you'll know you're accountable to the choices you make.
4. Know your worth and have a plan to continue to progress, evolve and grow. Examine that which you are avoiding as a possible "teacher". Embrace your feminine energy in the workplace.
5. Leverage your "emotional" voice to become the voice of reason in conflict and to show compassion to peers and colleagues, when needed.
