There are two types of people out there: the first are the ones coming out of quarantine with a clean house, more money, and the ability to do more pushups than ever before. And then there are the ones who have been binge-watching Netflix and are so out of their routine that they feel they're hardly getting through the days. Today I'm talking about how to know which of these versions it's ok to be so you can decide whether being productive is right for you, have a new understanding of what that means right now, and how to avoid the burnout of over-production.

You started this year with HIGH hopes, big goals, and even bigger expectations.

Nobody could have expected the coronavirus to come sweeping through and turn everything completely upside down.

In this episode, we're tackling all of those questions and more, so get comfortable and listen in - this episode is a juicy one and I'm pumped to share it with you!

Once you've opened your eyes to the racism that exists in our society, there's no going back. The world that exists today is different than it was 3 weeks ago. This episode is for you if you want to know where I stand. It's for you if you are evaluating who you listen to, who you follow, and who you spend money with. And it's for you if you are open and curious about what else you can do - I'm sharing a few things you can do to systematically change our world so that the opportunities I've been given as a white woman are available to ALL people.

If you're a parent you know that kids have this way of keeping you on your toes. At any given moment somebody needs a snack or a diaper change, or they've hurt themselves for the 100th time.

In today's bonus episode, I'm breaking down EXACTLY how to work from home with kids and giving my best tips for how I integrate my own kiddo into my work and business.

Show Notes: http://www.lisamichaud.com/podcast/20

Working from home sounds like a dream, right? I remember working in an office and imagining how good it would be to skip the commute and prep time.

But shortly after starting my business, I realized working from home isn't all rainbows and butterflies.

Whether you're doing it just because of this particular COVID-19 situation, or transitioning to full-time working from home, or trying to do any of it with kids, here's what no-one tells you about working from home.

Today, I'm sharing insights that I've learned through procrastinating by cleaning my baseboards, not showering for DAYS (but who's counting?!) and making the most of the work environment I'm in.

You'll hear how I've set up a great work environment, mindset, the tools I use for working remotely and not going crazy in solitude, and even how I work from home - with my kiddo.

By the end of this episode? You'll be ready to create the best work-from-home experience possible for YOU… and who knows? You may just decide working from home is for you and never go back to the office. Or at least stop wearing a bra.

Have you ever wanted to work from home? Well, for many of us, that dream has certainly come true.

More than ever right now, as we come together in community to stop the spread of Covid-19, OH SO many of us are working from home.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, solopreneur, corporate employee, or corporate leader -- and any of those things and suddenly trying to work remotely with your kids, chances are you're realizing there's a steep learning curve involved.

While the idea of no commute (and no pants) seems tempting for many, as someone who's worked from home, let me give you this gift of learning from others' mistakes -- and the things that have worked.

To support you and save you that STEEP learning curve, I've put together two special podcast episodes for you all about working from home.

In today's episode, I'm talking to Tatiana Correa, who's in charge of the Global Talent Experience for Shopify's employees around the world. She's helped build community and teams who are remote in different countries and different time zones.

PLUS, she's worked from home herself and learned a thing or two.

Even though I've worked from home for the last few years, I STILL learned a ton from Tatiana.

And it was especially valuable hearing how her team - which works remotely all the time - is finding new ways to thrive in our current, social distancing reality.

Whether you're new to working from a home office, an introvert who's loving this and as productive as ever, an extrovert who's adjusting to working from home, a parent who's trying to figure out HOW to work from home with kids also at home… an entrepreneur leading a remote team, or a leader now trying to lead a remote team, this is for you.

I promise you this - Even during this time of challenge, you're going to learn some real takeaways, sprinkled with positivity, hope, and some laughs.

You'll be ready to be more productive, find a routine that works for you and even includes showering - which if you've never worked from home - you'll find out it's harder than you think...… and maybe even keep your kid off the conference call - while working from home.

Life's thrown (more than) a few curveballs so far this year. How's THAT for an understatement:

Let me start with saying this - I drafted my notes for this a few days ago… and it's safe to say the world has changed for many of us - myself included - since I first made my notes. And it's going to continue to change.

This year has been a RIDE!!

We can't always make sense of what comes our way, but I do know this: life WILL surprise you. There will be obstacles to overcome. Each and every one of will face adversity along our journey - whether it's related to our goals or not.

But here's the thing: this isn't just an episode about Coronavirus or COVID-19 - I want it to be something you can come back to - anytime life throws us curveballs. Because it will.

I wish I could promise you that those things won't happen - but I can't. There will be obstacles.

But what I can promise you is this: that you're the only one. And there are some things that have helped me face adversity, that I will share in hopes it will help you too.

In this episode, you'll hear the behind-the-scenes of my life (in case you're curious), what has helped me in the last few months.. I'm also going to talk about a tricky question - one I asked myself too: How to know if a curveball is a challenge to overcome…. Or if life is guiding you in a different direction (aka a blessing in disguise)?

Here's what's helped as I've been learning to catch the curveballs, dance in the rain, and thrive in the chaos.
