The WE Corps Podcast: Global Reinvention for Trailing Spouses, Diplomats, Expats

In this episode, I share a simple framework for beginning your journey to personal/professional greatness. Personal growth has led me down the path of entrepreneurship and has given me opportunities that I would have never considered.

The practice and art of self-reflection, and giving oneself space to grow is immensely valuable. Ultimately, only you will KNOW what is the best path for YOU. You have to grow. You have to choose. You have to build the kind of life that lights you up.

Here is the simple framework I teach:

1. Read ONE Book that inspires you in the area of growth you want to pursue

2. Take ONE Bold Positive Action in the direction of your dreams

3. Write ONE Paragraph on what you learned about yourself after taking action

4. DECIDE where to go next and make sure it feels good and right to you.

For more in-depth conversation on this topic, join me for a ZOOM workshop this Friday 10am (Canberra, AEDT) or Thursday @ 6pm EST.

Be Bold. Be Positive. Take Action, Everyday!

In this week's episode, I share a simple framework for creating a community and having fun at the same time. 

As a woman entrepreneur living overseas for over a decade, changing countries, changing communities, and changing lifestyles, has been a constant struggle. No matter what stage of 'living overseas" you are in, each new environment requires patience, curiosity, and a willingness to discover the possibility. 

Much like owning a business, living overseas and owning a business and raising kids, is like have an adventure within an adventure within an adventure, not knowing what's next, but always anticipating something amazing. 

Here is the simple framework to consider, as you venture out in your new space and build a community:

1. Be intentional About Your Vibe

2. Do Something Out of the Norm

3. Talk to New People

4. Be the Gatherer of People

Meet Sara Hartary, a Value Creator, Fractional COO, and Founder of BizOpSolved. 

As a passionate entrepreneur and working mother, Sara is trailblazing a path for future executives to do challenging work they love while still having time for people they love. 

As more women reach C-Level positions, while still raising kids and caring for elderly parents, Sara is demonstrating a new model of working and accessing a talented resource pool. 

Rather than finding talent to fit the 40-hour work week, Sara is showing businessowners the immense value and efficiency of creating an environment to hire fractional talent, which creates a triple win situation. The business hires talent at a fraction of the cost, the business’s efficiency and value increases, and the fractional executive is able to do work they love and have time to raise a family.

Meet Paula Echeverri, a serial entrepreneur, hearing-loss survivor and advocate, and author of the book Emerge. Meet Paula Echeverri, a serial entrepreneur, hearing-loss survivor and advocate, and author of the book Emerge. In this interview, Paula shares her story of hearing loss and how she turned what she thought was a limitation into an opportunity. For the first six months of her hearing loss, Paula struggled with her new life questioning her self-worth and all of her relationships. After having a panic attack and going to the hospital, Paula decided to transform herself. She used techniques such as practicing gratitude (which releases happiness chemicals in the brain which produce feelings of positivity) and changing her internal narrative. Paula credits her mother for showing her how to be resilient and also to her own experience running and starting up businesses for her ability to bounce back from hardship. Paula also shares her three step framework to overcome any challenge: Accept that you have a problem. Surround yourself around a tribe of people that will support you. Be resilient - bounce back quickly from your challenges.

BIO:

PAULA ECHEVERRI was born in Colombia but spent half her life in the Silicon Valley in California, where she started a family. She is a proud mom of two girls—8 and 11. As a serial entrepreneur by nature Paula is passionate about how consumers and brands interact. She also worked with major companies in the tech space in Silicon Valley. She majored in Advertising and also has a certificate in Neuromarketing and is now pursuing her Applied Neuroscience certificate. After losing her hearing suddenly years ago with no apparent medical reasons from doctors, she did a lot of reading and research. She decided that there was more to life than limiting beliefs and being stuck was not an option. The loss of her hearing triggered in her a change in her life, and how she perceived her reality, which helped her a lot in her path to heal herself and accept her new life. Thanks to her experience as a CEO, she found out that mindset and resilience are key traits to bounce back from any challenge in life. She loves poetry and started writing again because she wants to help others and shine a light on interesting research from Neuroscience and the power of our minds to emerge from any situation.
