February 19, 2022 Raw bite 04 - Responsibility in relationships: Rachel Walker
In these ‘Raw bite’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favorite moments from previous episodes of Real & Raw.
When it comes to parental divorce, it often leads to low trust and it makes dating and romance more difficult for children as they reach adulthood. They tend to have less positive attitudes towards marriage and more positive attitudes towards divorce.

In this Real & Raw conversation, Rachel and I touched upon this as she shared her experience and her raw story about having these kind of doubts about relationships.

We often feel like everything is our responsibility and we're the only ones who need to do the work. When in reality, we don't have the capability to carry it all on our backs. When we expect something to fail, we're subconsciously expecting it to be our sole responsibility to make things work. And what happens then is most of us get disappointed when those expectations are not met.

"It has been a huge thing for me to get to a place where I kind of feel like some relationship last and some don't. We have certain control over it. We also have no control over it. It's letting go of the fact that uncertainty is uncomfortable and to be a bit more present in relationships." - says Rachel

February 17, 2022 Raw bite 03 - Closing a business: Hanna Andersen
In these ‘Raw bite’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favorite moments from previous episodes of Real & Raw.
Once you've made the decision to leave your job to go freelance or launch your own business, it can bring serious questions and assumptions from people that are close to you.

If it was for another job for a bigger company, it would be fine, they would all congratulate you, but when it comes to launching your own business and starting from scratch, people immediately start assuming that you'll fail and be unsuccessful if you don't have a proper plan with detailed structure and strategy.

As Hanna says, there seems to be this huge pressure that when you start a business that then has to make you a millionaire or last forever, otherwise you failed.

When you think about closing your business people start assuming "Oh, well, that business failed. Oh, she didn't manage to do what she wanted to do." when in reality, I've just changed my mind about what I want to do. And at the end, it all comes down to your decision and what you think will work for you, whether it's reconsidering your career, closing your business or finding a new job.

It's safe to say that our society heavily relies on viewing things from the perspective of having a job in a big organization and working for a huge company. When in reality, your personal values and your business values shouldn't necessarily differ because you're still the same human being showing up for work, whether you're working for yourself or for someone else. Either way, you have to give the best version of yourself to make things work. There should be no rules for what you should be doing.

It all comes down to this, nobody knows what's best for you better than you can, so trust your instincts and own your decisions. You'll be glad you did.

February 15, 2022 #13 Perfectionism, productivity & pressure with Vix Anderton
In this live we welcomed Vix Anderton, a recovering perfectionist and embodiment coach who shared with us her inspiring story after spending years in an air force. We touched upon recognizing the signs of burnout and why is it important to allow yourself to live with more ease every single day and why we should make uncomfortable situations explicit and bring them into conscious awareness. Welcoming everything doesn't mean to tolerate uncomfortable people or situations in our lives, we should accept them as they're the parts of us being human. And the more we push these part in the shadow, they run us from the unconscious.

February 12, 2022 Raw bite 02 - Is done enough?: Katie Phillips
In these ‘Raw bite’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favorite moments from previous episodes of Real & Raw.
A question that often pops in my head is "Is done really enough?" "Does any task I do need to be perfect?".

For the most part of my life, since I was 14, to be precise, I have battled with perfection, especially at work. I have tried to achieve perfection in every single task I did. Little did I know that the world is far from being perfect and that sometimes imperfection is a wonderful way to discover new ways of doing tasks that aren't rigidly perfect.

Somewhere along the line, I realized that trying to control everything was kind of exhausting and it would make my life more stressful than it were at that moment, it just wouldn't let me consider the important things in my life, and I was forced to put those things on hold. What a bad way to deal with things, right?

As Katie Phillips says, we need to start looking at ourselves and become internally self aware. And it's when you get into the practical stuff, like "how do you manage your time" and "how do you prioritize your needs" on a day-to-day basis. That way you don't remove those stressors, you actually do something to process that stress.

It is important to learn to let your guard down when it comes to thinking that you need to be perfect all the time. You do not! 🌟

February 10, 2022 Raw bite 01 - Doing less or more things: Rachel Emma Waring
In these ‘Raw bite’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favorite moments from previous episodes of Real & Raw.
We often find ourselves asking whether we should be doing less or more work in order to be fulfilled and happy in life, and it often leads to uncertainty and burn-out.

The reality is, doing less makes it easier for us to grow in some circumstances, as Rachel says, but the point is to find a healthy middle ground between doing what makes you happy and at the same time, building a business and a career that fulfills you.

If you're able to establish a daily routine that works for you, as well as be open to change and flexible with what what life has to offer, that way it will get the best of both worlds. ✨

December 16, 2021 #09 Confessions of a Founder after being made redundant after 13 years with Hanna Andersen
Today we welcomed Hanna Andersen from As We Are to talk about her journey of getting made redundant after 13 years (she started when she was 19!) and what that meant for her in her journey to becoming self-employed. In the second half of the conversation we touch upon the differences of being in a traditional vs. Founder jobs and how does the society view them, what makes it harder etc. The key thing for me in this conversation was the realization how Founder businesses are treated unfairly when we decide to change ideas or move from it after 2 years. Not a lot of people would judge you if you were to change your regular job after 2 years, right? So why do they do it here?
