   6. Embracing Entrepreneurship - Jeanette's Journey from Corporate to Empowerment

   Circle the date on your calendar because on January 30, we're not just exploring Jeanette's journey; we're practically strapping ourselves in for an adventure through uncharted territories of corporate-to-entrepreneurial transformation. We're not just talking about any journey, we're diving deep into the sea of challenges, triumphs, and the kind of lessons that only life's greatest adventures can bestow. “Entrepreneurship is not just about launching successful ventures; it's a journey of embracing uncertainties, overcoming self-doubt, and fostering genuine connections.” Key Takeaways: Jeanette left her corporate job of 27 years during the pandemic to pursue entrepreneurship. She had doubts about her business acumen but found support in the entrepreneurial community. Key lies women tell themselves are that they are not capable of running a business and imposter syndrome. In reality, skills from corporate life transfer and you can find people to help fill gaps. Jeanette had a failed product launch where no one attended. She pushed through and recorded anyway, which gave her confidence. Failures and iterations are part of the process. Consistency and showing up authentically builds connection and community, which fuels entrepreneurship. Jeanette helps women make the choice to opt out of what no longer serves them and start up something new. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letsworkonthis/message

   4. Running journey and experiences as an endurance athlete with Tiffany Richardson

   In this podcast conversation, I had a chat with a seasoned runner, Tiffany Richardson, who has completed 17 half marathons over 11 years. We discuss her journey into running, the challenges of comparison in the fitness industry, and the importance of embracing one's own pace. Tiffany shares insights on staying injury-free, the significance of stretching, and the role of strength training. Additionally, she also talks about her experience as a pacer for a half marathon and the joy of supporting others in achieving their running goals. We touch on race occasions, hydration strategies, and the camaraderie within running groups. From conquering the initial fear of running to becoming a seasoned runner and even taking on the role of a pacer, Tiffany shares her insights and tips for those embarking on their own running adventures. “You cannot compare my 24 hours to a new single mother of a newborn, who probably barely has a moment to herself. In the fitness industry, they tell you everyone has the same 24 hours a day. You don't, you absolutely do not.” Key takeaways: Tiffany started running 11 years ago to connect with her husband who was a runner. She quickly realized she enjoyed the community aspect of running and joined a local women's running group. Tiffany has completed 17 half marathons and countless 5Ks/10Ks over the past 11 years. She has never hired a running coach and prefers interval running over long distance training runs. Cross-training, strength training, and stretching are critical to Tiffany staying injury-free over her running career. She also focuses on proper fueling and hydration before/during races. Tiffany enjoys the social and supportive nature of group runs and races. She has made close friends through the running community over the years. Tiffany signed up for her first full marathon - Grandma's Marathon in June 2023. She plans to train using a time-based training plan rather than a mileage-based plan. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letsworkonthis/message

As Chris details her return to hiking, favorite destinations, and the growth of the Hiker Babes group, Chris's resilience and the power of nature to connect and transform lives. The episode concludes with me expressing gratitude, encouraging listeners to explore the Hiker Babes community, and teasing upcoming episodes. “From the trails to the hospital bed, my story echoes the importance of taking the first step, embracing the journey, and learning that resilience and support can turn even the toughest trails into rewarding paths of personal growth” Key takeaways: Chris started hiking during the pandemic as a way to get exercise and ended up losing 70 lbs. She became passionate about hiking after her first trail experience and joined Hiker Babes. Chris worked her way up to becoming an ambassador and leading hikes 4-5 times per week. She stopped taking her blood pressure medication and ended up having a stroke that paralyzed her right side. With determination and support from Hiker Babes, Chris recovered and got back out on the trails. She wants to encourage women to join Hiker Babes and try hiking, starting slow and working your way up. HikerBabes groups are all over the place.

    1. People Pleasing Starts INSIDE with Lindsay White

    Lindsay White talks to us about recognizing that people pleasing starts with our our self discovery, self talk, contentment. It's not as easy as saying yes or no to someone or something. It takes work. “I think, there's a lot of different surface levels. I think of people-pleasing as pulling back the layers. So on the top layer, we have that we feel guilty when we say no, or we pretend to laugh at a joke that isn't really funny. You know, there's definitely surface level people-pleasing that we want to avoid discomfort in other people. But I think as you peel back the layers, one of the deepest levels is self-betrayal. And it's when you're willing to do something for somebody else, for some thing, but betraying yourself in the midst of doing it.”- Lindsay White Key takeaways: Overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, which involves setting boundaries, making decisions authentically, and addressing the challenges associated with this behavioral pattern. The significance of self-discovery in finding one's passion and curiosity as a driving force for change. The fears and challenges individuals face when breaking free from people-pleasing habits, including societal expectations and the impact on mental health. Following curiosity rather than passion is highlighted as a pivotal moment in the individual's journey towards life coaching. The importance of teaching children about setting boundaries and making decisions from a place of love. The pressure of societal expectations, particularly in areas such as career choices and personal life decisions. The advice to start small, such as practicing setting boundaries with oneself, is given as a practical approach to initiate change.
