The Power of Purpose - Finding Your Mid-Career Why

Tuesday Feb 28, 2023

In this episode, I reflect on my mother's experience of losing her sense of purpose in midlife after retirement. Watching my mother go through this journey has been difficult, as she’s always been a vibrant and active person who loved her family and was passionate about her work. However, once she retired she struggled to find a new sense of meaning and purpose in life.

I watched firsthand how the loss of purpose affected her mental and physical health, and I realized that this is a common experience for many women in midlife. Major changes in life such as retirement, children leaving home, job loss, can be a time of transition and reflection, and for some, it can be a challenge to find new sources of fulfillment and meaning.

Through my mother's experience, I learned the importance of having a sense of purpose and its positive impact on life. I also discovered some practical strategies and exercises for rediscovering purpose in midlife, such as exploring personal values, strengths, and interests, and seeking out new opportunities for growth and connection.

In this episode, I share my insights and reflections on my mother's journey and offer tips and advice for anyone struggling to find their purpose in midlife. Whether you're going through a similar experience or simply interested in this topic, I hope that this episode will inspire and encourage you to rediscover your sense of purpose and live a more fulfilling life. So join me as I reflect on my mother's experience of losing purpose in midlife and the lessons I learned along the way.

The Power In An Intentional Pause

Friday Feb 03, 2023

Circumstances have forced me to be absent for a while, with good reason.

To push the pause button on my business.

But I've discovered that there is a kind of beauty hidden within an intentional pause.

It's in those moments that we allow the beauty contained within it to break open, revealing its benefits onto the way we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us.

When I decided to change careers a few years ago, I did it to have more time and freedom in my life.

Never did I think that this decision would be the best decision I'd ever make when it came to my Mother.

Listen to find out why.

Are you your #1 priority?

Friday Jan 06, 2023

How many times have you put yourself on the backburner and adopted a "I'll do it tomorrow" mentality?

Many women overcomplicate how they approach a new year. Or overwhelm themselves with way too many ideas and goals.

Some might even wonder why you should bother planning ahead if you don’t know what you want yet.

Do you recognize yourself in any of those?

In this episode, you’ll discover the strategies of those women who will make their transition happen this year and those who will keep putting it on hold or being distracted (again).

Who will YOU choose to be?

How To Set Yourself Up for Success in 2023

Saturday Dec 10, 2022

In a previous episode I spoke about preparing yourself to be in control of your work annual review, in this episode I'll be taking you through how you can conduct your personal annual review and get the best from it.

I’m not a fan of New Year's resolutions but I am a fan of looking back at the past year, analyzing the lessons you learned, and setting goals for the new year

Conducting personal annual reviews has brought forth some amazing insights for me:

They help me understand my development areas.
They’ve improved the way I perform self-reflection and embrace the growth I’ve seen in the year gone by.
They clarify what I want and help me plan ways to turn my dreams into reality.

8 Ways Black Women Can Get The Most Out of Their Year-End Performance Review

Friday Dec 02, 2022

The end of the year often signals the annual performance review.

For some women, these can feel like a minefield to navigate, from being uncertain how to articulate their performance, navigating toxic bosses to microaggressions and more.

But with the unbalanced career field for Black women, the importance of these conversations cannot be diminished. For a process so often attached to important outcomes, from salary increases, bonus payments and promotions it’s no wonder these reviews can be an anxious time.

Recently I came across the term "protective hesitation" - the definition given was when a leader fails to give constructive criticism to an employee out of fear of being perceived as racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other prejudice.

Or as I’d prefer an appraiser not giving necessary feedback because they are worried about the appraisee’s reaction and want to avoid a difficult conversation.

It’s definitely been an issue I’ve observed in my career and a factor highly pertinent to Black women.

So let me share 8 tips to help you get the most out of your year end performance review.

Why You Need an Attitude of Gratitude (And How to Develop It)

Friday Nov 25, 2022

With the well documented challenges Black women face in their careers, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what we've got to be grateful for.

And there have definitely been times in my life and career when I've wondered just that!

But once we stop having our mini pity parties, we soon realize that no matter how bad we think things are, there's someone out there who would welcome your situation.

Thankfully (no pun intended) practicing an attitude of gratitude is a skill we can all develop.
