Did you hear the story last summer about the lady who fell head-first into the porta-potty while trying to retrieve her cell phone using her dog leash? I use this fascinating story of (attempted) resilience and failure to illustrate what we can do when we find ourselves in situations involving shi%$y work situations.

The day I recorded this episode I said YES to bringing my son's computer to school when he forgot it. I wanted to say no, but mom guilt and people-pleasing made me say yes. 20 minutes later I was pulled over and given a ticket. I've learned that lesson and tried to share my insights and tips with you!

But, it turns out I already do many of the things lifestyle medicine promotes, and you can, too. They're not complicated and don't require enormous change. And I can promise you'll feel better if you try these on for a week.

I was so blown away by Annie Duke, cognitive psychologist and world champion poker player. Her ideas around quitting are beyond helpful if you're struggling with this decision. As I was listening to an interview with her and I pulled over, grabbed a sheet of paper, and started taking notes. I haven't read the book yet, so this is sort of the Cliff Note version, but if you're on the fence about quitting, please invest the next 15 minutes in listening to this!

And, if you decide you definitely need to make a change, I'm your girl! Well, maybe. Maybe not. Not if you're psycho, ridiculously needy, or have stalker-ish tendencies. Otherwise, reach out if you're a semi-sane person struggling with career stuckness. Let's schedule a complimentary discovery call and you can check me out, too!

In the meantime, why not get coached?

Who I coach: burned-out working women who can't imagine staying in their jobs for another 10 years, but they a) feel a lot of GUILT for not loving their job b) aren't sure WHAT they'd do next c) aren't sure HOW do leave or pivot.  

Why use me?  You know life is too precious to waste years being in a job you dread.  I've been there and came out stronger on the other side.  You can, too!  I've got tools that I'll teach you so you can make life adjustments going forward.  

When do I coach?  When my kiddos are in school from 7:45-3:00

Were you scared of things as a kid?  We all were.  Are you still scared of things?  Again, we all are.  But how we handle that fear determines how we live our lives.  How do you know when you need to sit up and pay BIG attention to fear?  I'll also talk about the different kinds of fear.  

Included in this episode:  my childhood fear of kidnapping, my fears about my kids, and how fear may have kept my son safe at a birthday party when he was 5.  

Are you considering life coaching?  My ideal client is a working woman (usually they're moms but not always) who isn't thrilled with her work life but she feels trapped and isn't sure if she can or should consider quitting.  And yet she goes to work day after day feeling misaligned, out of sorts, and overall meh (or UGH!).  

That's my jam, so if you need help, reach out!  Schedule a discovery call here, it's complimentary!
