Ep #38 - Why We Need to Make Time to Think (feat. Topknot's Claire Shorall)

When you're feeling overworked & overwhelmed in your career, finding time to think seems impossible. But creating & protecting the time to process everything on your mind IS the fastest way to stop overworking & start feeling better at work. When we  hit pause & make time to think, we stop OVERthinking.  We make faster decisions that move us towards what we want with ease. And we feel confident in the direction we're heading because we know WHY we're going there. In this week's episode, I'm joined by Claire Shorall, CEO & Cofounder of Topknot - an online platform & life coaching alternative - to talk about why we need to make more time to think & how Topknot provides an affordable, accessible space for women to do this through structured 1:1 peer conversations that lead to personal growth. And, I'm excited to announce I'm partnering with Topknot to bring this kind of space for personal development to the women in the Breaking Free from the Grind tribe!  Topknot is free to try for your first 1-hour session, & if you decide to join the Topknot community & use the code 'AMELIA10' at checkout, your first month is only $10.
