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.

Before I started on my own health and fitness journey, I had the idea that I would have to become the person who only ate a certain way, showed up in a certain way, and would have to give up so many things that I love and make me who I am. I know now that that’s not true. It doesn’t have to be either or, or black and white. You can prioritise your health, look after yourself AND find a balance between that and the things you love and having a life outside of being in the gym and preparing food. There’s no one better that I could think to speak to about taking a holistic and well balanced approach to women’s health than Beth Wright from B-Fit The Wright Way. In today’s episode of the podcast with Beth Wright we’re exploring her journey into both law and health, and the advice that Beth wants every woman to hear about prioritising their health and putting themselves first.

Have you ever felt like who you are at work is completely different to who you are at home or in your personal life? Like you’re living a double life?

This is something that can cause distress and frustration because you end up confused about who you really are, and it disconnects you from your truth and integrity.

While there is often a need to bring a different part of who you are to your corporate role, I do feel there is an opportunity to bring some vulnerability and the “real” you into your work and your work relationships.

In today’s episode of the podcast I’m talking about why we, as women, often end up feeling like we’re leading a double life, the cost that’s associated with doing it and how you can close the gap between who you are at home and who you are at work to bring yourself into alignment.

What is an Untamed CEO? Someone who takes charge of their life and career and makes executive decisions about the direction they want to go in.

It’s about seizing opportunity and going where life takes you, but equally being discerning about whether that direction is right and true for you, and aligns with who you are.

I’ve been talking about the Untamed CEO for the last few episodes and in today’s episode of the podcast I’m sharing with you 4 strategies that you can use to practically access your inner Untamed CEO and why I believe it is so important for your life and career that you do this.

It can feel quite daunting when it comes to navigating how you can create an aligned career into something that feels purposeful to you.

Truth be told, when I was going on this journey I consulted a lot of assessments and tools to try and help me figure out my path.

Whilst these can certainly help…the process is so much deeper. I believe that pursuing something meaningful to you is also a journey into becoming the REAL untamed YOU in the process. In today’s episode of the podcast I’m sharing with you what my journey has been to becoming the Untamed CEO of my own life as a means to share with you the core pillars that have supported me in figuring out the direction that I am being called in.

Have you ever read a book or had an experience that changed your life and got you thinking about the world differently?

For me, that book is “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle. This book gave language to some of the challenges that I see myself and women at large facing when it comes to pursuing a career path of purpose both personally and professionally.

Many women have been conditioned and socialised into this impossible standard of the ‘perfect woman’ and being Untamed is about breaking out of that mould.

In today’s episode of the podcast I’m diving into what an Untamed CEO is, what it looks like and why we need more Untamed CEO’s in the world.

When you’re busy…the topic of menopause might seem like something to put into the “I’ll get to it later basket.” Especially if you’re in your 20’s, 30’s and early 40’s.

The truth is menopause is an evitable part of every woman’s journey and it WILL have an impact on your life and career. And usually when you are at the top of your game career wise. So it’s wise to think about now.

There is very little information out there for women in their 30’s and 40’s about menopause and yet this is the period of our lives when we can first begin to experience symptoms and also proactively do something to support ourselves in that inevitable transition that will come.

I don’t know anyone better to talk about this topic with than Dr. Laurena Law, a general practice doctor with training in Nutritional Medicine, Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine. Laurena has a keen passion for lifestyle, integrative medicine and health longevity. In today’s episode of the podcast with Dr. Laurena Law we’re exploring how menopause can impact your work and career and why it’s so important to think about it even when you’re in your 30’s.
