Ep 97How Do I Practice Self-Compassion at Work?

More and more, psychologists are turning away from an emphasis on self-esteem and moving toward self-compassion in the treatment of their patients—and Dr. Neff’s extraordinary book, Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind To Yourself, offers exercises and action plans for dealing with every emotionally debilitating struggle. On this episode, we’ll learn more about what self-compassion is, including what it isn’t, and why self-compassion works better than the high self-esteem we seem to always be chasing.

Ep 95How Do I Give Feedback at Work + Examples On What to Say

When’s the last time you got critical feedback at a job?

Ep 75Are You Languishing? Here’s How to Feel Better

Languishing. Many of us are doing it without even being aware of what “it” is. Languishing is not burnout and it’s not quite depression, but it’s sort of like a cousin to both. Languishing is a feeling of stagnancy, emptiness, and aimlessness. The danger of languishing is that it can grow to become depression or an anxiety disorder. If this sounds familiar to you, listen up. On this episode we’ll be discussing why so many of us are languishing and why putting a name to a feeling helps and 5 pieces of advice on addressing your emotions both at work and in your personal life.

Ep 74The Most Important Career Advice You Haven't Heard Already

It’s pretty obvious that our careers have a huge impact on our finances, but your finances also have a huge affect on your career. Being financially stable gives you more options in your career and allows you to have a solid foundation to make choices from. That stability can make a huge difference if you need to leave a job you hate, take a career risk, or if you want to start your own business. Plus, studies have shown that employees who are stressed about their finances are less productive at work. The more you stay on top of your finances, the less stressed you’ll feel.

Dealing with and working to overcome self-doubt is a common hurdle to progress -- especially career progress. Struggles with self-doubt can: keep you from speaking up or advocating for yourself, cause you to settle for roles don’t reflect your true potential, make you reluctant to trust your decision-making abilities, give you pause when you really want to ask for a raise or promotion, keep you in a job that kills your spirit each and every day...AND MORE. That’s why on this episode we discuss whether impostor syndrome is real and 4 steps to overcome feelings of self-doubt.
