Ep6: The Queen's Perspective

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about dreams is that they are not linear. No matter how passionate you are about your life right now, there’s always the chance that something that feels even bigger and more exciting will emerge from that part of your soul that can’t always be heard. The thing is, achieving those dreams depends on your ability to keep moving forward when life gets difficult, and there are plenty of things that threaten to get in your way. Whether you’re facing up against a lac...

Ep5: Loving Yourself

By the time we’re young adults, starting out in a new industry, we’re already hearing about how difficult – or impossible – it is to “have it all”. The thing is, with such vast differences in cultural ideals, it’s impossible to create a universal definition of what “having it all” really means – whether it’s getting married at 18 or nailing seven interviews for a lounge assistant job. One thing that stays consistent across cultures, though, is our hunger for shared experience and guidance from p...

Ep4: Hello Trauma

There’s no denying that the pandemic has hit hard, but the toll isn’t limited to the thousands of deaths, sick people, and emergency room chaos - it’s also about what’s going on in our heads. After months of isolation, confusion, and fear, the negative thoughts and feelings we all experience have become a plague of their own, leading us to experience extreme stress, full-blown burnout, and even death.

Ep3: What’s the Worst That Could Happen

Have you ever heard a sentence come out of your mouth and thought, “I sound exactly like my mother”? It happens to all of us eventually - and is it any wonder, given all of the research behind the Social Proximity Effect? You can’t underestimate the impact that your top five - the five people you spend the most time with - have on your life and the person you become. For Linda Weston, founder of consulting practice Rapporto, those five people include her parents, her daughter, and her closest fr...

Ep2: Going for it Without Apology

When I was young, I wanted to be “someone”, as I think many of us do – and when you think about it, there is no better time to want such things. In childhood and adolescence, we have big dreams, hopes, and plans, and all the energy we need to bring them to life. Then, as we get older, we come face to face with situations that awaken a sense of overwhelming pressure; pressure to be – and have – it all. Since the beginning of COVID-19, perhaps no one has felt that pressure more acutely than medica...

Ep1: A Spark of Insight

If you’re a woman suffering from burnout, you probably have the same complaints as the millions of others just like you - not enough time, not enough energy, and too little space to focus on the things that light you up. The thing is, overcoming burnout is not complicated. The first step to doing just that and reclaiming your time and your agency in the process is exactly what you think it is: Making time and space for yourself and for the things that matter to you, and reserving some of that pr...
