It feels like wellness is everywhere. But the underlying idea is to invest in yourself, which requires awareness to what supports you individually. And that looks different for everyone. Liz and Alysia talk about what wellness looks like for them, how they try to create time to recharge and refill, why we all need opportunities to be at our best and supporting others’ well-being journeys.

Women spend much of their lives fighting for enough – enough success, enough love, enough support, enough money, enough happiness. If we work really hard, we will get the fancy title, the big money, and the contentment we crave. But what if that isn’t true? And what happens when we realize the peace and happiness we seek isn’t found in the corner office? This week Liz and Alysia talk about ambition, how it changes throughout our career, and seeking out what truly fills your cup.

The purpose of Women on Work was to bring open and honest conversations about being women in the workplace into the mainstream. After 50+ episodes and a year later, Liz and Alysia talk about what they’ve learned through the podcast and the spicy conversations yet to come in Women on Work Season 3.

We're (almost) back! 
Liz and Alysia are back with another exciting season, August 2, 2022!

From the getting out of our own way to pressure, periods and a dab of mindfulness, it felt like Women on Work Season 2 left no topic uncovered. Listen in as Liz and Alysia discuss the incredible conversations and how the narratives we embrace influence how we feel and show up in the world. We are incredibly thankful to all our guests, the listeners who continue this journey with us, and all people who identify as women who color our world with beauty and inspiration. We are looking forward to Season 3, dropping in August 2022. 

There is no doubt the workplace today is significantly more progressive and accepting, but many topics and conversations are still stifled if not avoided. And for the people working through journeys where there is no blueprint, the path forward could be trying and difficult. This week, Liz and Alysia talk to Adrian and Lindsey Bryant – allies for all, tech professionals, and inspiring change makers.  Using their own deeply personal experiences to inspire change in the workplace and beyond, Adrian and Lindsey discuss the journey of transitioning, normalizing stillbirth, and finding the strength to be passionate advocates.

A basic human desire is to be liked. For people to talk kindly of us in our absence. To make our friends and family proud. But if all your self-worth is wrapped up in the external, how do you know who you are and how you will learn to love and accept your true yourself. In this vulnerable and deeply-personal discussion, Liz and Alysia dig into people pleasing – the effect it has on how we see ourselves and our value, the limits it instills on what we are capable of,  and building our own self-confidence and self-acceptance.

Coaching is having a moment. Whether, life, career, or business, coaching is becoming a frequent investment to move forward in your journey. But what exactly is a coach? When are they beneficial? And how can they help?  Liz and Alysia talk to Amy Haworth, a life and leadership coach who believes there is always a way to thrive (not just survive).
