S1E22: Reflection and Connection

This is such a busy time of the year with the holidays, end of the year pressure at work, and so much of the invisible workload falling on women. How can we not just survive these last few weeks of the year but actually thrive in them? In Episode 22, Shelley and Jill share their approach for these upcoming weeks – first reflecting and then connecting to stay present. This podcast is for you if you believe that: • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must. • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit! • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!” • There’s more than enough for everyone. • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process. • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.
