You know there’s something more out there in the world, waiting for you, however, the thought of leaving what you know to step into something you have no clue about is debilitating.

It’s not your fault. We, as humans, are wired to crave routine and continuity and any change can send our brains into a frenzy. 

We know change isn’t easy but it is absolutely necessary if we’re going to live a full life. In this week’s episode, we’re taking you through the emotions of transformation to help you manage the incredible changes you want to make in your life.

We're not just Gen X we're GEN neXt

There is a phenomenon going on, a thirst for uncovering and understanding stories like that of Anna Delvey, the fake German heiress who scammed New York City’s elite socialites or Elizabeth Holmes who wooed her way into the hearts and pockets of Palo Alto’s tech leaders.

Whether you’re watching Inventing Anna on Netflix or reading Bad Blood, we can become sucked into the world of cons, scams and conviction. One that makes us shiver from ickiness but also, makes us curious and fascinated.

In this episode, we’re talking about why we’re fascinated by these stories and what we can take from them (yes, there’s a learning) and apply to our own lives…. In small doses!

• How a little does of confidence could actually take us a very long way 
• What’s the fine line between con and fake it until you make it 
• Are Elizabeth + Anna treated differently because they are women, did it work to their advantage or not?

Be authentic they say. Be vulnerable they say. Be a thought leader they say. Expound on your industry knowledge they say. Dress casual on Fridays they say. Take a mental health day they say. We receive so much advice on how to show up in the workplace is has become a cacophony of conflicting ideas.

As women in the business world, we want to know how to represent ourselves in person, online, in meetings —in a way that shows off our approachability and our professionalism. The lines have never been more blurred between our personal and professional lives, leaving us asking the question, what’s too much?

This is what we are exploring with you this week on Modern Gen X Woman.

Boundaries, boundaries, and more boundaries. It is one of the most important gifts you can give yourself, especially as a woman over 40 when our entire lives could easily be spent in reaction to the needs of everything and everyone else.

So why didn’t we call this episode boundaries? Because if we want to take back control of our lives, boundaries aren’t enough. We need to learn how to construct fences around everything. Fences are unmoving. Yet we get to consciously decide the kind of fence we want to use as a border and where to put a gate to move through.  Plus, fences give us parameters around possibilities so we aren’t overwhelmed. 

Join our conversation this week around where and how you should be constructing fences to advance your success, lower your stress and feel better in every aspect of life.

In this episode, we’re talking about the places you want to consider placing your fences: 

Fencing Your Possibilities: 

• When there are a plethora of possibilities we can become overwhelmed, struggle to make a decision, overanalyze and freeze and do nothing 
• The more we can limit the 'possibilities' the quicker (and more confident) we can make decisions.
• Your brain goes into overload looking for signs it can recognize and signs of familiarity 

Fencing Your Business: 

• If you aren’t putting fences around your business, you’re crushing its growth chances 
• Fence who you want to support and who your product or service is for and how you can help 
• Stop yourself from squirrel syndrome, chasing every new idea and never actually seeing anything through

Fencing Your Job Search: 

• You have to fence your job search or you’ll burn out 
• Create specific criteria around what kind of job you want and what you aren’t interested in going after 
• Have a list of non-negotiables, know what you must-haves

Fencing Part of Your Life 

• You don’t have to put it all out on social media 
• Are their personal relationships that need some fencing?

No one likes to be rejected. It’s the absolute worst. It doesn’t matter in what context either. If you’re interviewing for a new job, selling to clients or dating, every single time we put ourselves out there, we risk being rejected. 

There’s the logical part, but of course, we may be rejected, it’s part of life. Then there’s the emotional part, when we are rejected what it does to us and how it can diminish our self-worth, stamina and drive.

In this week’s episode, we’re going to dig into rejection, help you understand why rejection makes you feel a certain way and give you specifics on how to manage rejection so it doesn’t keep you from taking the risks necessary to succeed.

We believe we are in control of our own destiny. What if I told you you aren’t in control as much as you believe you are?

I’m sure you’d challenge this statement and create a lot of proof to the contrary. You see, so many of the choices we make, the thoughts we have, the steps we take, the moves we make are actually nothing more than repeated automated patterns from our past.

This thought can be frightening. Our inner child can do a number on us and sabotage our success.
 In this episode, we’re discussing our inner children and how to keep them from running amuck.

If someone asked you, who are you… would you immediately start talking about your role at work, your business, or your overall career? 

Somehow this has become the norm.  

Gen X women have lost their identity.  Our worth has gotten wrapped up in what we do professionally. We use the success of our career or business as a way to measure up. 

Here’s the thing, we’re so much more than what we do during our day. When we own our worth from who we are, not what we do we become unstoppable. 

In this episode, we’re talking about why we’ve lost ourselves in our work and how to find our way back.  

We are now accepting applications for our next cohort in our The Worth+Value=Wealth Program.

This program is for Entrepreneurs and Career Women who want to own their worth and articulate their value so they can make the money they deserve.

If you're ready to go after and get the professional success you want and make more money, you can apply to the program here. 

In this episode, we’re talking about… 

• Why we’ve lost ourselves in our work 
• How our brains use our titles and labels as a way to protect us 
• Why it’s a lazy way to make small talk 
• How it takes on a bigger layer for women 
• Our own personal stories with going from big jobs titles to “coaches” 
• How your job title should and shouldn’t tie into your self worth 
• How to be ok with your identity shifting 
• Ways to help you shift your perspective 
• What to talk about, other than your job!

“There aren’t enough workers to go around.” When you hear Analysts, CEO’s and Economists all talking about the same thing, it can really make you sit up and think.

We’ve entered a new era for American workers. For the first time in decades, we’re seeing the transfer of power from employer to employee. And it feels good! The shortage in the labor force is apparent and it isn’t getting better anytime soon, in fact, studies show the gap is going to continue to widen. This means employers have to do a whole heck of a lot more to get employees in their doors and even more to keep them.

This week, Mimi and I are going to dig into what this means for you and how you, the amazing Generation X women who listen to us every week, can capitalize on this moment in time to get hired, get promoted, GET PAID.
