In this week's episode, we talk about taking care of ourselves when the world feels big. It's sometimes automatic to try to push through a tough time, but slowing down to take care of yourself will make everything seem more manageable. 

We cover the difference between self-maintenance and self-care, how to achieve both and why boundaries are key to keeping yourself supported.

In a world where vulnerability is seen as a weakness, asking for help can be difficult. But when someone asks us for help, we feel a sense of joy and are more than happy to support others. Shifting our thinking to see asking for help as a gift to others can be a powerful way to include others while also taking some of the burdens to "do it all and be it all" off of our shoulders. As we enter 2021 we can all use a little help - and others could use a pick-me-up of helping. 

Is your culture cool on purpose?

Can you be a superstar and miserable at the same time? You sure can! All you have to do is shove yourself into a box that you don't fit and still care enough to do a great job.

We also share our very fancy formula to break free from conforming and become highly adaptable: Style + Values + EQ = Adaptability

Do you know your top two values? More is not always better - especially in the case of values. When we list too many values, we ultimately have none. And it leaves us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and guilty. Ain't nobody got time for that anymore. Once you are clear on your values, you get clear on your priorities, which creates a sense of unparalleled freedom. You get to decide where you spend your time, energy, focus, and money.

In this episode, we dive into where our values come from, how they impact our career, and some tips on how to discover your top lived values.
