“When asked about success, I do think I’ve followed teachers’, bosses’, parents’, friends' views of what success was, versus ‘what would make me feel really good about myself?’ And it has to do with people and creating harmony for them, and this thing that out lives me.”

– Kaley Nichol

We know that the Women Who Work crew is in the midst of our busiest and most full season of life and career. And we are here to talk about it! One of the greatest aspects of gathering women together is normalizing those experiences and feelings that we are facing. This episode does just that.

Mandy and Stephanie open with a discussion on the seasons of work and life…and normalize the feelings that come with being in the messy middle of a very busy season.

●      Are you carrying the emotional and physical load in your world? Use the Fair Play resources and LET GO of impossible standards you’re putting on yourself.

●      Can we have it all? Yes, but not at the same time! And what does that mean for YOU?

Then we talk with Kaley Nichol, a consultant for solo entrepreneurs, who brings entrepreneurial experience as well as a lot of self-reflection on the real meaning of success for her. Her story is one worth hearing and reflecting on!

“There will always be people…who think you don’t deserve the job, simply because of who you are...The only thing you can do is prove them wrong. You do that with your results. Results are non-negotiable, and they are indisputable.”

–Brittany Caskey

This episode is fire. If you’re in need of some reality checks. It’s here. If you need a moment to hear that your experience is felt by others too. It’s here. If you need to remember what it was like to be a young girl navigating the world. It’s here. If you need inspiration to be a boss lady and own your leadership. It’s here. 

Mandy and Stephanie open with a candid chat about the double standards for women in leadership. Listen with a cup of coffee or your afternoon hydration tumbler because one conversation snowballs right into another - just like it would with your own work BFF.

Then, Brittany Caskey, Chief Commercial Officer, Logistics at DP World, gives us powerhouse advice for how to navigate a career in male-dominated industries while letting your personal brand shine through. Brittany covers tactics for communicating like a boss, leading with strength and softness, and focusing on the things that matter for YOU.
