Practical advice to support you with your career, business, money, beating burnout, creating life/work balance and getting it all done. 


I will support you to get unstuck and build the life and business of your dreams. 

Welcome!

When is the right time to grit your teeth and continue on your career path?

More importantly, when should you listen to your inner compass and pivot and change in your career to move forward in the aligned direction for you?

There is a time for both, but the idea of simply ‘going with the flow’ comes with costs and consequences that aren’t often thought about when choosing which direction to follow, and in my experience staying in the same place is more often than not moving you backwards in your career.

In this episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m sharing with you the 3 hidden costs that come with ‘going with the flow’ in your career instead of making purposeful and intentional decisions and acknowledging when it’s time to make a career shift.

Purpose

The middle of the year is a really good time to check in with yourself and see where you are.

Often, at the start of the year we set ourselves these goals and we have great intentions, but we forget to check in on how we’re going, or if they’re even still the right goals for us 6 months on.

In this episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m sharing with you 3 questions that you can ask yourself in your own mid-year review to make sure you’re on the right track for your career or your business.

If you feel like doing your own mid-year review is a daunting task, grab a pen and some paper and let’s walk through it together, and approach this review with a curious mind.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘success’?

Success is a word that holds so much power in society. Perhaps you associate it with achievement, job status, a luxurious lifestyle, an overflowing bank account, living in a specific location, having your own business, the list is endless. Have you thought about what “success” really means to you?

When we think of success it’s easy to find ourselves constantly comparing our journey to others, measuring our worth on superficial indicators, but is that the true meaning of success?

In this episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast we’re peeling back the layers and exploring the reality of what success is beyond the superficial perceptions. I’m taking a look at 6 myths of success and the differences between the perception and reality of having a successful career.

I’ve been reflecting recently on my own career journey, and also what’s been going on for my clients and the stage of their careers that they’re in.

The idea of changing things up and flipping things on their head is in the air for a lot of people right now. This could be for personal reasons driven by a change in values or circumstances, or even something externally driven like a change in the organisation or a redundancy where you’re having to change and adapt .In today’s episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m talking about the five signs that it might be time for a career 180 so that you can begin to get on the front foot and be proactive about the situation that you’re in.

On average, we spend more time in relationships with the people that we work with than those in our personal life.

However, who we work with often isn’t a choice that we have, making conflict inevitable, because you’re just not going to get along with everyone all the time. Conflict and confrontation is not something that a lot of us love, so if the idea of addressing difficult people and situations at work is a challenge for you, this episode has the tools you need to be able to speak up, speak out, and handle these relationships.
In today’s episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m talking about how to handle difficult co-workers, bosses and micromanagers so that you know how to deal with difficult people that you can’t consciously cut out of your life.

For every opportunity there is, there are also many missed opportunities in the workplace. Often, it’s up to us to advocate for ourselves in the workplace, put ourselves forward and let people know what our goals are. This can be a real challenge for a lot of people, especially some women. In today’s episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m talking about the top 10 challenges I see women face in the workplace when it comes to promotions and opportunities to progress their careers. As you listen to this episode, I invite you to think about if each one applies to you, and if it does, make a little note, because this is your next area of focus for your work.

Perfectionism vs High Standards. Do you know the difference? It’s one thing to want to put out high quality work and get good results, but if you’re consistently looking for perfection in your work, this is where the lines get crossed and we step into perfectionism. When we step into the realm of perfectionism, we end up paying the cost associated with it. Hello stress, anxiety, burnout and overthinking. If you resonate with any of this, listen in. In today’s episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m talking about the 3 core pillars that drive perfectionism and how you can begin to embody the belief that you are enough and kick perfectionism to the curb.
