Grind Mentality: How Your "Work" Investment Reflects Your Values (Ep. 20)

Looking back at my childhood or "my raising" as we say in Texas [smile], one lesson I learned goes something like this: "The harder you work, the better person you are."  Or more plainly… Hard working people are "good" people.    As I talk to women in their 40's and beyond, this mentality of equating work and "value" often crops up.   And frankly, it's keeping women like you from living your fullest life.   It's not that I believe working "hard" is a bad thing. But we glorify "work" and "effort" when we put everything into advancing our careers and raising our families.     However, when we redirect some of that work and we begin to prioritize ourselves, then we feel immense guilt.     I share my thoughts on this concept and how it affects our feelings of self-worth along with a story about understanding how many keys come with a new job and why that's important.    I end with a mini-assignment for you to consider.  Doing it will help you find evidence of whether or not your "work" currently reflects what you truly value. And you can begin making changes accordingly.    Time Stamps:   (0:50) Looking Back on My Raising (3:10) How Many Keys Come with This Job?
