255: Stepping Stone or Dead End?

I've had quite a few clients come to me thinking they needed to change jobs. They go out and find new jobs. And then they decide not to take them. So how do you know? How do you tell whether a role is a stepping stone toward the career you actually want, or a dead end that drops you right back into the misery you promised yourself you'd never repeat?

254: Scattered is the opposite of power. Here's how to stop.

My word for the rest of this year is power, and scattered is what power looks like when it's spread across forty tabs and a to-do list looks like a small child's art project. Scribbles everywhere, arrows pointing to other arrows, half the items already circled and underlined in panic. You are not scattered because you're bad at your job. You are not scattered because you're bad at life. You're scattered because your brain has been screaming at you and nobody's been listening.

253: Why Your Work Doesn't Speak for Itself

You don't have to be the loudest person in the room to be seen. For high achievers in corporate environments, being strategically visible is almost always more powerful than aggressive self-promotion. The hard part is the balance. How do you make sure your contributions get recognized without feeling like you're overselling yourself, or like you're becoming someone you're not? That's what today is about.

252: The Trip That Made Me Better at My Job

Welcome to Episode # 252 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. There's nothing better than a getaway where you come back refreshed and, instead of feeling behind on everything, you actually feel ready. Most of us don't let ourselves have that. We think if we leave, we'll fall so far behind. As if more time at the desk is the fix for a scattered brain and a low hum of anxiety. I know that belief well. I've been arguing with it for years.

251: The Mental Load That's Making You Worse at Home (and How to Put it Down)

Sometimes we are so busy with our work lives that when we come home, we feel like we have stepped into uncharted territory. We get frustrated wondering why dinner still needs to be made, or whether the kids did their chores and homework. We see them playing and our partners relaxing, and we start railing silently inside, wondering why it is so easy for them to relax when there is still so much to be done. Instead of your sharpest, most present self, you feel like an irritated stranger in your own home.
