ABOUT THE HOST

 I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker. 

I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmlyon the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career.  I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.

I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone. 

I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally

accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a

business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.

Sue explains how modern society creates overwhelm and  focuses on money as a measure of success

As Sue explains there is another way, The “New Work” philosophy is a social and economic  theory that means people can live with the freedom to choose what they want to do and add value to others.

Time is the key to having freedom in our lives and additional time adds richness and value to you, your community and the world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being connected virtually across the world can result in you being more disconnected in person
• Getting into a state of flow and being able to do the deep work is vital as part of what we do as humans
• To find inner peace you need to look within yourself and away from external influences
• Leave the overwhelm of the outside world to seek your inner peace and higher self
• New work philosophy is about a more minimalist approach and doing the things you want to do and the things you love.
• You can spend more time doing the things you want to and have the time to give back and learn more
• We have moved from the industrial revolution to creating a rat race
• Redefine your work-life balance and access your inner peace and higher self

 BEST MOMENTS

‘We have so much on our plates but still feel we are lacking’

‘What will your life look like if you only work a few days a week?’

‘Something outside of your control cannot bring you happiness’

‘The new week philosophy combines a shorter working week with smart purchasing’

Felicity Lee and Daniel Colman moved to France to avoid the debt trap, embarking on a strawbale building project to create the home they wanted

They talk about their journey, why owning your time is critical and discuss why they want to empower others to take bold steps to shape their own destiny, engage in self-enquiry and refine their deepest convictions about purpose, life, earth and love

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We wanted to create a house  which we had to co-exist with, and it’s grown with us over the last few years
• With this approach, you can potentially free yourself from spiralling energy costs
• Starting with nothing allowed us to build systems that grew with us
• The house has a rhythm, it needs to be lived in and it needs you to participate in it but what you get back from it is enormous
• The 90% rule means that when you can compromise on the 10% you will exponentially end up with a simpler system that serves your needs
• Being green isn’t about sacrificing everything it’s about finding balance and compromise about a proportion of what you do and that brings huge benefits
• It’s about incremental change, if you want to change set yourself up for success not failure
• Changing and having a different set of priorities and a different trajectory is enough
• There are lots of moments of peace, emptiness and spaciousness throughout the day

 BEST MOMENTS

‘Our house ebbs and flows with the seasons’

‘With the 90% rule, simpler systems become viable’

‘I’m participating in the natural cycle and enriching the soil on which I depend’

‘There is a lot of space and a lot of peace in our lives’
