This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

On today’s episode of TIWW, we’re going to explore some of the generational differences that impact our work – as women, but mostly as humans of different generations who are living and working together.

And I couldn’t possibly cover this topic without bringing in THE expert, Kim Lear. Kim is a writer, researcher, and the founder of Inlay Insights. Recently named “one of today's best speakers,” by Meetings and Conventions Magazine, Kim is known for skillfully weaving eye-opening statistics, insightful stories, and relevant case studies with some of the most renowned companies in the world. In addition to speaking, Kim was head of research on the book Gen Z @ Work and the writer of the popular Substack, Kids These Days. She has been featured on NPR and national publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, USA Today, and TIME magazine.

We can’t practice empathy and curiosity without considering the time and the way in which we grew up, the experiences that shaped us, and the beliefs and definitions that existed when we were learning about the world and our place in it. 

Ask yourself, if I were in their shoes, would I see this differently?

Every Monday for the next several weeks (as long as it takes to get through Validation Is For Parking: How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con), I’m going to bring a chapter of the book to life! 

This week we work our way through Chapter 2 and talk about How The Confidence Con Plays Out In Our Lives. Here’s what you can expect:

Well, I start with what can only be considered a rant. It was super fun to write (and lots got edited out), and even more fun to read because you KNOW I love a good rant. It’s like a weight off my shoulders. 

We explore the confidence gap between the sexes

Impostor Syndrome and the difference between confidence and competence gets explored

I lay the groundwork for anger and other “hard” emotions for the next chapter

What do we do with all of our awkward parts and our not-so-epic moments? I know we’ve been taught to avoid and ignore them, but what would happen if we accepted them? Even better, what if we embraced them? WHAT IF awkwardness is our secret weapon for risk-taking, especially at work, as our guest today suggests?

Well friends, I don’t know, but we’re about to find out.

Henna Pryor is here to help us embrace the embarrassing and celebrate the cringe, so we can become our best and bravest. Henna is a highly sought-after Workplace Performance Expert, an award-winning 2x TEDx and global keynote speaker, executive coach, and author of the critically acclaimed book Good Awkward. Known for her science-backed approach to improving the performance, habits, and actions of hungry high achievers – in her fun, no-nonsense, no-jargon way – she believes that the key to most people’s success is leaning into awkwardness a little bit longer.

What would be possible for you, for us, if we began to see the things that make us awkward as our superpowers? What if we appreciated and celebrated other people’s awkwardness? 

What would happen if we just said “well’ THAT was awkward” and moved forward with our lives? 

Awkward: it’s what makes us human and connects us in empathy (and humor too)!

Awkward and upward, my friends!

Every Monday for the next several weeks (as long as it takes to get through Validation Is For Parking: How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con), I’m going to bring a chapter of the book to life! 

This week we work our way through Chapter 1 and talk about what confidence is, what it isn’t, and why it matters. Here’s what you can expect:

Confidence gets DEFINED (and it’s probably not what you think it is)

We debunk the myths and misconceptions about confidence

I share some example of where and why YOU being confident will matter - to your life, your work, your relationships, and so much more!

On this episode of TIWW we talk about how to recognize the busyness trap for what it is, so we don’t get lured or accidentally fall into it, AND about getting ourselves out of it once we’ve fallen in. 

I’m doing this episode for YOU, but I’m also doing it for me so I can listen to it those couple times a year when I forget everything I know and revert back to those “busyness”, “do more” tendencies of mine.

I’ve invited Teresa Vozza, leadership expert, certified executive coach, former HR Executive with over 20 years of corporate experience, and 2023 Women of Influence nominee, to join us. Teresa is a passionate advocate for leading authentic, drama-free, and resilient lives and teams, as she works with leaders in the executive ranks. As you might imagine, she knows a lot about that busyness trap.

What if all people want is more of YOU?

What if the way to BE more is to DO less?

Woman’s work is NOT about busyness, it’s about recognizing and sharing YOUR gifts – and you can’t do that from inside a trap.

If you subscribe to TIWW (and I really hope you do), you’ve gotten used to a Wednesday release of our new episodes, and let me be upfront that nothing is changing about that…you’re in for another exceptional episode with another incredible guest on Wednesday of this week.

The reason I’m showing up on a Monday is because I’m going to read to you! More specifically, I’m going to read chapters and sections of my book, Validation is For Parking!

Each Monday (as long as it takes to get through the book), I’m going to bring a chapter to life! I’ll likely add a few curse words that my editor suggested I eliminate, I’ll add a few footnotes that didn’t make it in, and expand or add a story here or there, but mostly, I’m going to read Validation is For Parking in MY voice.

The goal is for all of us to head into our week WITH confidence!

You also get access to the 40+ page confidence-building workbook, that goes along with each episode and includes exercises, activities, quotes from the book PLUS a ton of self-reflection questions, tips, and ideas that you can put into practice in YOUR life.

So this week, we begin with the Introduction where I talk about my desperately needed wake-up call, my recovery from validation addiction, and the road to trusting myself again.

Because confidence is built from within. And validation? Well, that’s for parking.

Is productivity just about getting as much done as possible, or is it about getting the right things done in the best way?

HOW do you KNOW when you’re being productive? Maybe a better question is how do you differentiate from being productive vs. just being busy?

I’m excited to have Amber De La Garza on the show to help us answer these questions! Amber has more than a decade of experience helping small business owners maximize profits, reduce stress, and make time for what matters most by elevating their productivity! Amber is a sought-after coach, trainer, speaker, writer, host of the Productivity Straight Talk Podcast and creator of Leverage Lab® and she’s here to help us choose productivity over everything else.

Others will always have advice about what you should and shouldn’t be doing, what’s the most valuable use of your time, and where you should be spending it…

But there’s a difference between an expense and an investment. Like money, you can’t get time back once you’ve spent it. But also like money, you CAN invest your time into things with the greatest ROI, with the hope that it will appreciate and generate something even greater.

Being busy (but not productive) is an expensive way to live.

Being PRODUCTIVE is an investment in YOU, your future, and what matters most. YOU ARE THE ASSET.

It took me a long time to not only understand my introversion but to appreciate it. To stop trying to be like the extroverts around me and recognize that being an introvert not only was part of who I am, but it’s actually one of my superpowers.

And because somewhere around 40-50% of the population identify as introverts and close to 60% PREFER introversion, you either ARE an introvert too, or you love or work with one. So, we’re going to love on some introverts on our podcast today.

Andreea Sandu is a Certified High-Performance Coach and author of  “The Introvert Who Could.” She currently splits her time between writing and helping creatives achieve their goals and considers herself a “visible introvert” on a mission to change how others perceive this personality type. 

It’s my belief that the world needs more listeners than it does talkers, it needs more deep connection than surface level, it needs more thoughtful than it does charismatic, it needs more pauses than full steam ahead, it needs more 1:1 than social media posts, and it needs ALL of us, connected to our authentic selves, bringing our unique gifts to the world- REGARDLESS of whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, omnivert or I-don’t-give-a-fuck-vert.

Know who you are, own who you’re not, and choose to embrace all of it.

In this episode we’re going to take a close look at the actions, inactions, distractions, decisions, indecision, negative self-talk,perfectionism, imposter syndrome, ALL the stuff – and ask, “WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES”?

We’re going to get curious about all of our self-sabotaging ways.

Here to help us make sure we don’t turn into self-sabotage hoarders is Kamini Wood, who helps high-achievers heal their relationships with themselves by identifying limiting beliefs and reasons for stagnation, as well as overcoming self-doubt in order to live a fulfilling professional and personal life. She is the creator of AuthenticMe® and CEO of Live Joy Your Way - a coaching company serving those who have seen success through old-rooted, traditional metrics, reestablishing their relational self-awareness. A best-selling author, Kamini holds certifications in a large variety of modalities including high-performance coaching, conscious uncoupling, breath work, meditation, and belonging, just to name a few.

As always, you are the decider of what you do with your life – and I mean that in EVERY way. All I want is for you to make sure you’re not the one getting in the way of your own goals.

Here’s what I do know – self-sabotage will only ever be unpaid work and we’ve been doing it for far too long – sabotaging YOURSELF – is most certainly not woman’s work.

We’re going to talk about LOVE today, and I think it’s important that I tell you I might be a little jaded. Do I believe in love? YES. Do I want all of us to experience more of it? HELL YES. Do I think love is patient, two become one, it excuses and justifies everything, all decisions should be based on it, and that it needs to be romantic love that results in marriage in order to be considered real love? Absolutely not.

Given that I clearly have some energy about the topic, I’ve brought in an expert for all of our benefits.

Arielle Ford is a celebrated love and relationship expert, author, and speaker whose mission is to help people Find Love, Keep Love, and most importantly, Be Love. An award-winning author of eleven nonfiction books, including the international bestseller, THE SOULMATE SECRET: Manifest the Love of Your Life with The Law of Attraction, Arielle has been called “The Cupid of Consciousness” and “The Fairy Godmother of Love.” Her debut novel, The Love Thief, is a roller-coaster ride of love, betrayal, and unexpected transformation with a juicy revenge sub-plot and a surprise ending. And she’s here to talk with us about love.

I think we’ve received enough messaging about finding love, what love is and what it isn’t, so I’ll say this: Love YOURSELF, so you know what it feels like to love and be loved, and so that nobody can come along and offer you less and trick you into thinking it’s more.

Knowing what it is to BOTH love and be loved. That is woman’s work.
