  • Ep48 - How to Have More Fun Working Remotely Without Sacrificing Productivity

    Working remotely has its perks, but let's be honest, it can sometimes feel monotonous and even lonely, so tune in to today's episode for my 5 favorite ways of how to make working remotely more fun without losing productivity.  Here's what we will be talking about...

    1. Create a Fun and Inspiring Workspace:

    First things first, ladies—your workspace matters. It’s not just about having a desk and a chair. 

    2. Dress for Success (and Fun!):

    I know, one of the joys of working from home is the comfort of wearing pajamas all day. But hear me out—getting dressed in something that makes you feel good can have a significant impact on your mindset and productivity.

    3. Schedule Mini-Breaks and Reward Yourself:

    All work and no play can make even the most dedicated career woman feel burned out. To keep things fun and fresh, schedule mini-breaks throughout your day. Use this time to stretch, dance to your favorite song, or enjoy a quick walk outside. And don't forget to reward yourself for getting tasks done.

    4. Stay Connected with Colleagues:

    Isolation can be a downside of working from home, but it doesn’t have to be. Make an effort to stay connected with your colleagues through regular check-ins and virtual coffee breaks. And here's something ELSE I want you to is to consider scheduling a monthly (or weekly) lunch with your colleagues – there is some special magic that happens when a group gets together over a meal, and since feeling isolated is something the can happen if you’re not careful, this could be a win/win.  

    5. Mix Up Your Routine:

    Lastly, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit! Working from home offers flexibility, so take advantage of it. Change your working location within your home, switch up your daily schedule, or try out new productivity techniques.

  • Ep47: Summer Travel Tips for the Busy Career Woman

    We all look forward to those precious days away with our families, but let's be honest…the planning AND the details can be overwhelming. If you're anything like me, you want your vacation to be a true break – you do NOT want to take a vacation from your vacation! So today, I'm sharing 5 of my favorite ways to plan a vacation without spreading yourself too thin. Come back and join me for Episode 47 and find out some easy ways to make this happen! 

    1. Start with a Plan, But Keep it Flexible

    The first tip is all about balance. Start with a plan but keep it flexible. This might sound contradictory, but hear me out. You want to have a general itinerary—know your travel dates, major activities, and accommodations. 
    2. Pack Smarter not Harder

    Packing can be one of the most stressful parts of preparing for a trip, especially if you're traveling with kids or grandkids. My second tip is to create a capsule wardrobe for your trip. Choose a few versatile pieces that you can mix and match to create multiple outfits. Stick to a color scheme to make it easier. 
    3. Delegate Responsibilities

    Tip number three is to delegate responsibilities. You don't have to do it all yourself. Get your family involved in the planning and packing process. Older children can pack their own bags with a checklist you provide. 
    4. Use Technology to Your Advantage

    My fourth tip is to use technology to your advantage. There are countless apps and websites designed to make travel easier. Use flight and hotel booking apps that offer real-time updates and alerts. 
    5. Plan for Downtime

    Finally, my fifth tip is to plan for downtime. It's tempting to fill every moment with activities, but remember, a vacation is also about relaxation. Schedule some free time each day to just lounge by the pool, read a book, or take a nap. This is especially important if you're traveling with children, as they often need some quiet time to recharge. 
    There you have it, my top five tips for planning a stress-free summer vacation! Thank you for tuning in AND don’t forget our motto here on the pod and it’s this:  If you’re not having a fantastic day YOU have the power to make it one!

  • Ep46: Balancing Bargains & Boundaries - Plan Ahead for a Better Holiday Weekend

    Let's start with a reality many of us are familiar with: Memorial Day weekend, with its slew of sales and social events, can be a real test of our discipline and planning skills. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of big discounts or the pressure to attend every gathering AND don’t even get me started on the fact that most people have completely forgotten what this holiday is really all about.  So, what are some tips we can be thinking about right now for the upcoming Holiday weekend?  Well ladies, come back and join me for Episode 46 and find out!

    Hello and welcome to Episode 46 of "The Career Woman's Secret Playbook." I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we’re diving into a very timely topic I’m calling, “Balancing Bargains & Boundaries.”  

    For ALL the details about these 3 tips and how to actually put these in place, tune in to today's episode!

    Tip #1: First up, setting a budget. This is foundational. Before the holiday sales kick off, take a moment to review your finances. 

    Tip#2: Moving on to prioritizing and protecting your personal time. It’s a holiday after all, and it’s important to remember that rest and recreation are just as important as any other appointment in your calendar. 

    Tip #3: Lastly, balancing professional obligations with holiday events. For many of us, the lines between work and personal life are blurred, so be sure to communicate clearly with your colleagues and clients about your availability. 

    Memorial Day weekend should not be a source of stress but a time to celebrate and recharge. By setting financial boundaries and wisely choosing how we spend our time, we can enjoy the benefits of the holiday without the fallout of overspending or overextending ourselves. And as we wrap up today’s episode, let’s not forget our motto here on the podcast, and it’s this:  “IF you are not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one.”

  • Ep45: Are You Struggling on Monday Mornings? Change your Monday, Change your Life!

    Are you struggling on Monday Mornings? Are you one of those people who drag into the office, pray that the coffee pot is already brewing and are already counting down until Friday?  Could it be your job?  Maybe, but what if it’s not?  What if the WAY you’re starting your Monday is ruining your chances for a good one?  Join us for today’s episode to see what you can do about it! 

    Let’s Get to It!

    1.  Tip #1: Ease into Your Day:  Be sure to start your day with some “me time,” whatever that means to you.  It could be sipping a cup of coffee while you enjoy journaling or watching a favorite show – the goal is to feel like you aren’t rushed and are starting your day off on the right foot.

    2.  Tip #2: Create a Grab/Go Routine:  Create a drop-zone so that everything you need is ready to go, and do as much as you can the day before so that you’re freed up in the morning for things that really fuel you.

    3.  Plan your Week in an Empowering Way:  Plan for the week ahead and be sure to do so in a way that allows buffers of time so you don’t feel rushed, while still giving you time for your passions and hobbies.

    4.  What to Do on Sunday: Begin by organizing your essentials for Monday morning the night before. Lay out your outfit, prepare your lunch, and ensure your workbag is packed. 

    5.  Set a Non-Negotiable Wake-Up Time: Consistency is key. Choose a wake-up time and stick to it every Monday. This regularity helps regulate your body's internal clock, reducing feelings of fatigue. 

    6.  Monday = Fun Day: Engage in a simple pleasure that makes you look forward to Mondays. This could be a special breakfast, a particular type of coffee, listening to your favorite podcast, or a short morning walk. 

    7.  Joyful Movement/Meditation: 2 minutes -10 minutes of physical or mental exercise can dramatically improve your mood and energy levels.

  • Ep44 – Why do Women Suffer from More from Imposter Syndrome then the Men? And What We can Do About it?

    Did you know that professional women today suffer from Imposter Syndrome in greater numbers than the men?  Well ladies, we’re not only going to look at the reasons WHY this is happening BUT we’re going to define what Impostor syndrome actually is AND we’re going to look at some easy ways that we can overcome it!  Welcome to Episode 44 of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast – your place for Busy Career Women Who are Interested in Creating a Life They Love!  Now before we take a deeper dive into today’s episode, if you’re new here, WELCOME!  I am so glad you found us, and the first thing I want you to do is to head straight over to our website at www.drdawnshoptalk.com so that you can download some freebies I have for you.  On our Career Secrets Tab I’ve got blog posts that cover everything from time management to mindset AND when you first log on, you will have access to my FAVORITE  cheat sheet called What to Do When Your Office is Driving You Nuts – and if you look at the very last page it comes with a free bonus mini-coaching session with me, so be sure to check that out.  

    Now FIRST, let’s define what this sucker actually is:  Imposter Syndrome is that psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud," can affect anyone regardless of gender. However, research suggests that women may experience it more frequently or intensely in the workplace due to various societal and cultural factors.

    Here are some reasons why women may experience impostor syndrome more often:
    1.  Societal Expectations, 2.  Gender Bias, 3.  Lack of Representation, 4.  Perfectionism. For details about these 4 reasons and much more, be sure to tune in to today's episode where we will also talk about these 5 ways that can overcome this in the workplace:
    1.  Recognize and Normalize Feelings, 2.  Seek Support, 3.  Develop Self-Compassion, 4.  Set Realistic Goals: and 5.  Cultivate Confidence.

    As we wrap up ladies just remember…Ultimately, overcoming impostor syndrome is an ongoing process that requires self-awareness, resilience, and support from others. By challenging negative thought patterns, seeking support, and cultivating confidence, women can navigate impostor feelings and thrive in their careers.

  • Ep43: How Not to be an Overthinker/Stop Torturing Yourself with these 3 Easy Steps!

    Are you an overthinker like me?  Then you know first-hand that overthinking can add to frustration, which then causes you to interfere with your own success. So let’s get to it – let me show you 3 easy ways that you can break free from this unhealthy pattern so that you can start taking some confident action steps towards your goals.

    Step 1: Recognize the Pattern
    The first step to overcoming overthinking is to recognize when you're doing it.

    Give yourself a designated time to think through a decision or problem, and once that time is up, make a choice and take action. 
    Step 3: Focus on Solutions
    Instead of dwelling on potential problems or worst-case scenarios, shift your focus to finding solutions. Ask yourself, "What's the next step I can take to move forward?" 

    For more info on these steps and more, tune in to today's episode, and in the meantime, consider this: Overthinking can be a relentless obstacle BUT it doesn't have to be. Starting today, I want you to start thinking of this pattern as JUST a wake-up call.

  • Ep 42: 3 Ways You May be Holding Yourself Back

    Welcome back, Career Women, to another episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we're talking about the ways in which we might be inadvertently hindering our own success in the workplace. So, grab your notebooks and get ready to take some notes because we're about to uncover the top 3 ways we may be blocking our success.

    #1:  "Self-Doubt." Yes, you heard it right. Self-doubt can be one of the biggest obstacles standing between us and our goals. How many times have we downplayed our achievements or hesitated to speak up in meetings because we questioned our own abilities? It's time to silence that inner critic and start owning our accomplishments.

    #2: "Fear of Failure." This one is a biggie. Many of us are so afraid of failing that we don't even attempt to reach for those higher rungs on the career ladder. But here's the truth: failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of the journey toward success. 

    #3 is "Lack of Boundary Setting." As career women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, both at work and at home. But failing to set boundaries can lead to burnout and ultimately sabotage our success. It's important to communicate our needs clearly and assertively, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.

  • Ep 40 – New Year, New You: How to Crush Your Resolutions Once and for All!

    Hello, listeners and welcome back to another empowering episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and since we are already a few weeks IN to the new year, we are going to talk about New Year's Resolutions, why they often times DON’T work, and what we can do about it.  I am also going to share a personal story with you about how the recent loss of my Mom has made me even MORE aware of how priceless time is and that if we haven't made our dreams come true yet, there is NO time to waste.

    Let's start with the reasons why resolutions often times don't work:

    Reason #1: Unrealistic Expectations: The first major reason why New Year's Resolutions tend to fail is that we often set unrealistic expectations for ourselves. 

    Reason #2: TOO General:  Vague goals like "get healthier" or "be more successful" make it difficult to track progress and stay motivated. 

    Reason #3: No Plan in Place:  Setting a resolution is just the first step - without a well-thought-out plan, it's challenging to know how to work towards your goals.

    Reason #4: Neglecting Self-Care: Many of us put our resolutions ahead of our own well-being and then we can burn out.

    Reason #5: Lack of Accountability: Lastly, a lack of accountability can lead to resolutions falling by the wayside. Sharing your goals with a trusted friend or mentor, or even finding an accountability partner, can significantly increase your chances of success.

    So, now that we've identified the common reasons why New Year's Resolutions often don't work, tune in to Today's episode to find out what you can do about it so that 2024 will become THE year when you crush your goals!
