Click here [LINK]   Today I'm exploring a topic that shows up for so many women, especially high-achieving, ambitious women who feel the pull toward growth and transformation. Today, I am exploring the deep roots of perfectionism, what drives it, why it’s so persistent, and how it affects us not only mentally but also physically and emotionally.   Perfectionism is a theme that I encounter constantly in my work, whether it’s within my membership community, my group coaching programmes, or my 1-2-1 client sessions. For many of us, the need to get things ‘just right’ can be a significant block, preventing us from reaching our true potential. Perfectionism holds us back, not just in the pursuit of our goals

We also delve into the relationship between our connections with men and money, and how these often mirror each other in surprising ways.   Key Topics Discussed: Trauma and Emotional Neglect: We discuss the widespread impact of systemic oppression, particularly patriarchy, on emotional neglect and ho

Hello, lovely listeners! In this solo episode, I share my observations on the intersection of race and toxic productivity culture. As I've been promoting my book, "Women Who Work Too Much," I've noticed a lack of conversations about how this issue uniquely affects Black women and women of the global majority.   In this episode, I share my thoughts on: The systemic issues that perpetuate overworking in women's lives. The importance of understanding how race, gender, and class intersect to shape the experiences of Black women in this culture. The limitations of white feminism and the need for a more inclusive discourse that acknowledges the diverse struggles faced by all women. Why embracing softness and spirituality can be a radical act of self-liberation for Black women. I'm inviting more nuanced conversation about intersectionality and toxic productivity.   Mentioned Resources: Harvard Business School research: https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/confront-workplace-inequity-in-2023-dig-deep-build-bridges-take-collec

In this episode I am talking about changing my business model so that it supports me too.   A huge lesson from 2022 was about learning not to confuse my capability with my capacity. I want to be able to continue providing transformative coaching to my clients, but I also want to do so in a way that supports my own health, joy and mission to be a well rested woman.   So I am making changes in the pursuit of a work life harmony so that my work is not at the expense of me! This includes changing to an evergreen model.   I also share why I think an evergreen model supports emotional maturity and personal responsibility!   If you are thinking about changing the way you work so that you can improve your quality of life take this as a sign to do it!   I also mention my mastermind for socially conscious values driven business women.
