When we are upset, it's easy for our thoughts to take over our minds. We might become fixated on one particular thought and have trouble focusing on anything else. This is called being fused with our thoughts. It's a common experience that many people have.

Thought defusion techniques can be helpful to escape the trap of negative thoughts. These techniques are based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and function by redirecting focus from the actual thoughts to the thought process. The outcome is a less chaotic and overworked mind and a more impartial outlook.

Tune in for 4 techniques you can try right away.

Quitting has gotten a bad rap. There's a negative connotation associated with leaving things behind, unfinished; not staying committed.

We're told to never give up. Keep going. Don't quit.

But, there are consequences to not quitting. We miss out on opportunities and growth; sometimes sacrifice our health if we don't quit things. So today on the She Doesn't Settle episode I'm sharing why I want you to get good at quitting and six ways you can quit.

Quitting has to be part of your vocabulary if you're going to stop settling. So, be sure to listen and then let me know what you intend to quit!

Sure, it might be an instant relief or feel validating to walk away from the very thing that is causing you so much angst, but if you've got other's counting on your income or don't have financial cushion in the bank, it's likely not the easy solution.

The reality is that over half of Americans aren't in the position to just up and leave their job.

So when people suggest you 'just quit', it isn't helpful.

If you find yourself in a toxic work environment, burned out, or just feeling stuck and wanting more for your career — before you say peace out to your employer — here are a few (of the many) things I have my clients do first.

In today's She Doesn't Settle episode I'm getting straight to it and talking to you about the importance of prioritizing your goal and a few things you can do.

Listen, it's one thing to declare a goal and it's an entirely other thing to put in the work. You can't just add it to the long list of to-do's - you've got to clear space and make time for the actions that allow you to work towards that goal. Not only will it allow you to make progress, you'll feel a heck of a lot better in the process!

If you have goals that are important to you (and I know you do!), you'll need to listen in.

In this episode of the She Doesn't Settle podcast, I dive into the topic of career dissatisfaction and its impact on overall well-being.

I explore the five main reasons why someone might be unhappy in their career, including burnout, challenges within the work environment, lack of excitement and purpose, a desire and curiosity to want something more/different, and dissatisfaction in other areas of life.

The importance of evaluating personal well-being, setting boundaries, seeking support, and considering small changes within one's current role is critical to taking that first step to be happier. I also discuss the significance of finding a career that aligns with values and motivates individuals and provide tactical strategies for further exploration and support. Join me as we navigate through these issues and empower listeners to find career fulfillment!
