Where is the Line

Career pivots - they can be daunting! Have you ever contemplated switching careers, or joining a new industry? Not sure where to begin?

We have the utmost pleasure to sit down with Katie Seeger, former Olympic bobsledder (‼️‼️) who made the transition from athlete at the highest level to Make-A-Wish Coordinator to now Sr. Program Manager at LinkedIn. We learn from Katie on how she navigated this bold transition, the importance of mapping your values to a new opportunity, leaning on your network, identifying transferable skills, going with your gut and how to redefine success in a job that may not be as straightforward as losing or winning like in Sports.

Career Pivot or not, this episode is filled with meaningful life lessons for everybody!

Katie would also plug a non-profit near and dear to her heart, as her niece has Down Syndrome - please consider supporting this great cause: https://gigisplayhouse.org/

Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship that's more harm than harmony?

Toxic relationships sadly occur way too often but how do you know you're in one and when is it time to leave? How do you separate love bombing from more "normal" signs of affection? How to differentiate between toxicity and the normal ups and downs of any relationship? Can a toxic relationship be transformed into a healthy one?

This week our beautiful friend Anna Badursk shares for the first time publicly about her experience with toxic relationships, how to overcome the emotional turmoil, to now finding the one. ❤️

While the episode centers on emotional abuse (we draw a hard line on any form of domestic violence) - a warning however that this may be triggering for some!

Have you ever been part of a toxic work environment? It can happen more often than we think! Toxicity comes on a spectrum and it doesn't always have to be extreme. How do you recognize toxic behaviors and what is the opportunity cost? When is it time to leave?

In this episode we have the honor to hear from product leader, startup advisor and career coach Kristin Chen, who has over a decade of experiencing leading, scaling and product teams at both tech unicorns and startups.

Kristin opens up on how she navigated these rather toxic situations, how to manage the fear of retaliation, how to trust her gut when things feel "off", and shares a very helpful framework for our listeners - applicable to any difficult situation in life.

If you're a startup looking for help navigating product challenges or someone who is looking for support to achieve your career goals, check out her coaching business!

Ayahuasca - a hoax or actually effective? Is it just another psychedelic? Despite drawing some controversy, Ayahuasca has been used by indigenous people for centuries to help treat depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction… but what is it exactly and what to expect… if you've ever been curious, this episode will blow your mind!

We have the pleasure to sit down with Natacha Martin (@retro_motion), who recently participated in ayahuasca in the Brazilian Amazon and shared with us one of the most transformative experiences of her life, while also debunking a lot of the myths for us. Our jaws were on the floor!! 😱

To our listeners, have you done ayahuasca? What has your experience been with psychedelics more general? Or are you a skeptic? We want to hear it all!

The Return-to-office debate is real!

While some employers continue to provide flexibility post-pandemic, others impose stringent mandates without meeting employees where they are.

Today we sit down with Joie Karcher, CEO, business owner and over 20 years of experience in Big Tech who advises on how to best navigate the post-COVID working world.

We touch on:

• The role of purpose in RTO conversations - challenging employers on the why behind certain mandates / policies --> is there evidence for in-office being correlated with greater productivity?
• How to be an advocate for yourself and have meaningful & constructive conversations with your employer about your needs when it comes to work arrangements
• How to listen to reflect vs. listening to respond when having those conversations
• The impact of return-to-office mandates on workforce diversity

We welcome any additional input, studies or comments regarding this ongoing debate - especially as we gather more data around the impact of return-to-office policies. Email us at: [email protected]

Get in touch with Joie via LinkedIn and check out her staffing business "Your Talent Now".

This week we are talking all things mental health!

How can one differentiate between burnout vs just "a bad week"? What if therapy alone isn't effective enough and you continue to battle a feeling of anxiety & depression?

We are so honored to have the beautiful Katherine Morse Wiora (Kat) with us to share for the first time publicly about her incredibly personal story of joining an out-patient program and how it represented a pivotal part to healing.

From breaking down the structure of the program, to laying out key benefits and downsides, her biggest surprises, how to navigate the feeling of judgment, the power of community, how to support a loved one going through this, ... Kat covers it all. Kat also gives tangible advice on how to decide whether this is program is right for you.

Let's all work together to destigmatize solutions designed to improve our mental health! Thank you Kat for embodying such authentic & courageous leadership through the power of vulnerability.
