26:03

In October 2023 I made the difficult but necessary decision to leave my well established corporate position. Being able to do this was a huge privilege that I am grateful for. But that does not mean it was easy. The time away from what made up so much of my identity - work - forced me to confront a lot about myself and evolve along the way. I start a new corproate job on Monday and wanted to take the time to share some of the messy middle and profound learnings in hopes that it helps even one other person navigating the ups and downs of life.…

A healthcare/research start, tech pivot turned entrepreneur who is now on a mission to help parents own more of their most valuable asset - TIME. Ashley joins us in lifting the cloak on her as a human. She is so poised as she talks through her experience navigating career, hitting tough patches, pulling herself back up and making the leap into entrepreneurship-before she even knew the business she wanted to build (!!). Spoiler alert, she went back to the basics to define the business she wanted to build by centering on the problems she cares about solving. That soul searching set her on a path to start ‘Sundays’.

EP 11 Shweta Jacob, Reimagine your path when 'your plan' doesn't go as expected, your title does not make you a failure 1:05:03

for 1 year siden1:05:03

1:05:03

Shweta is the youngest of four children and the first child to be born in Canada to an immigrant family. She shares the cultural pressure she felt growing up and how it impacted her crafting her plan and checklist for her life. As you might imagine (because many of us can relate), her plan didn't exactly go as planned. She experienced abandonment at a young age and suffered a devastating loss - one of those a part of her creation of the plan in the first place and the other blowing up the plan and having Shweta take back the pen and rewrite her plan and definition for success in her career and in her life. We all have an idea of how we want our lives to go and an image of success, but if that image doesn't align with your experience or make you feel full when you quietly listen. Changing that plan, not meeting that plan - it is not a failure. It is an opportunity to reimagine what will make you happy and allow you to live a more fulfilled life. A few (of the many) things that I left this conversation with... It's hard to ask for help, but it's there when you ask for it. Your title does not make you a failure. On the flip side, your title does not make you a success. Life usually doesn't go according to plan, so instead of looking at changes as failures, embrace the idea that your path is dynamic and will change with you in a way that serves you and gets you to where you are supposed to be. Trigger warning: At minute 28, Shweta so bravely shares with us her experience with miscarriage and the impact it had on her 'life plan'. If this is not a conversation that will make you feel connected and support you in your journey at this point, listen up until that point and pop off, or simply join us next time! We will be here when you get back!

EP 10 Debra Senra, 'Don't wait for confidence and comfort to feel capable," getting confident making other people uncomfortable 49:16

for 1 year siden49:16

49:16

Do not sleep on this episode. Bookmark it. Save it. If you have to pause, come back. Debra Senra is a gift. This conversation made me feel seen and hopeful and reinforced how critical it is to show up authentically, own my vision, and say it out loud. It was a stark reminder that the right decision in work and in life can make someone else uncomfortable. We need not shy away from those moments. We need to get confident making others uncomfortable—not only for ourselves but also as an example for the bossy girls we are so proudly raising. Debra is a consultant, turned revenue leader, and newly turned stealth startup CEO. Her advice comes from her lived experience. What she shares today she needed to hear herself a few years back. 'Don't wait for confidence or comfort to feel capable." She knew in her gut that she was ready to be a CEO a few years back, but she was telling herself lies like' my resume is not quite ready yet' and letting those voices keep her from claiming her path - out loud and unapologetically. This concept has so much depth. You'll want to hear it for yourself. Trigger Warning: This episode does discuss sexual assault. If this is something that would be hard mentally, emotionally or physically for you to listen to, skip this episode and come back to the next one. We'll be here! More on Debra and her company here: Debra Senra on LinkedIn Debra is the CEO of a company that is in stealth mode . They have built enterprise software powered by generative AI to help services businesses write highly customized proposals and statements of work in under an hour. Companies say it typically takes days to get these documents, but with their help you go from a blank page all the way through to collaboration in 60 minutes. If this sounds familiar and you are suffering today - contact Debra! They have a few design partner slots left or you can get on the list for a private preview coming in Q3.…

She is a mom of 2, a CEO, and a world traveler, and while you could easily look at her posts, bio, and LinkedIn career and think - 'wow, she has it all' - she is still human, and the human experience is full of ups and downs. She vulnerability shares: Even though she is off social media, except LinkedIn, she still has to be intentional about not comparing herself to others or to her own highlight reel. The beauty of the way kids grow and evolve vs adults and how she is returning to her education degree to help shape the future for our youth. The Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis that shifted the life plan she made for herself. Recovering from loss, managing two high-risk pregnancies, and the need for women to be able to process birthing trauma but so often not having the space to do so. Powerful advice she got after a miscarriage that pushed her to change things and people in her life. and so much more... Trigger Warning: This episode does cover miscarriage.

1:03:48

If you have ever struggled with imposter syndrome or had to (too frequently) ask yourself the question, am I enough? You aren’t alone. Samantha and I have, too. Samantha breaks down why she no longer subscribes to the idea of imposter syndrome and how she intentionally tackles moments of self-doubt. Ever been out of work or taken a break from your corporate career and wrestled with how to approach the conversation with your kids in an age-appropriate way? What about as a single momma? You’ll hear two moms talk through their approach to the absence of Zoom calls around the clock and the layers of feelings navigating these periods brings. Do you feel like you’ve hit a stress break point at work or are getting close, but you haven’t had to take a leave yet, or even worse? Like far too many women I have connected with, Samantha shares the physical and mental toll that stress played on her body, a breaking point, and how she shifted her strategy for self-care and her mission to help others with what she’s learned. In this episode of Balance is Bullsh*t Podcast: The Real Stories of Blending Motherhood & Career, we cover all of that and more in a transparent, raw conversation between two women, moms, customer success leaders, and friends.

Join me as I reflect on some of the recent conversations and reading. This week, I share my shifting thoughts on using 'You're a superwoman!' as a compliment. I came to this conclusion to support the person and because of the example 'being a superhero' sets for our kids. I don't want these '10 Minute Talks' to be one-way. I want to hear from you. Listen, then share your thoughts and tag us on Instagram or LinkedIn . Note: On this mini episode I read the poem 'I gave the cape back' from Cleo Wades ' ' Remember Love '.…
