In this episode of The Elegant Warrior podcast, we're diving into the importance of standing up for yourself and unlocking your fullest potential. I've learned from my experience as a trial attorney that standing up for yourself goes beyond just avoiding being taken advantage of - it's about asking for what you want in a way that gets results. I share a story from my early career where I stood up for someone in a tense mediation situation. This experience taught me the power of taking up space in a room and advocating for my own wants and needs. Standing up for ourselves doesn't mean we are disconnected from others, in fact, it allows us to share our boundaries, our dreams, and our potential. It helps us to navigate challenging conversations more effectively and move forward in our journeys, towards the path of fulfilling our dreams and accessing our limitless potential.   Key Takeaways: ·        Discover the profound impact that standing up for oneself has on personal and career trajectory. ·        Gain insightful methods on eloquently expressing your needs and desires for more productive interactions. ·        Understand the potential drawbacks of avoiding difficult discussions and how they can impede progress. ·        Delve deep into the transformative power of self-assertion in reaching peak performance. ·        Learn the secrets of successful negotiation for better outcomes in challenging conversations.     Resources Mentioned: Sign up for the Webinar here: August 21st, 4PM Eastern: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Yg17bBbCQEeBIz_Y8x4Z3Q August 29th, 12PM Eastern: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sUrUAn_0SNyNivUFOg9I5w   Join the Advocate with Elegance membership!   Stay Connected with Heather: To schedule a call with Heather, click here  To follow Heather on Instagram, click here To subscribe to Heather's newsletter, click here To request a transcript of this episode, email: operations@heatherhansenpresents.com     ____________ Disclaimer: The Elegant Warrior Podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Today's guest is Cait Donovan. Cait Donovan is a Keynote speaker, one of New York City's leading burnout experts, host of “Fried – The Burnout Podcast,” author of the book "The Bouncebackability Factor", and an acupuncturist with a master's degree in Chinese medicine.  This was a great conversation about burnout, resentment, and boundaries. We discussed: Feeling not good enough. 2:00 The biggest component of burnout is feelings of not being enough. What does burnout mean to you? 4:18 Burnout is when the pilot light in the body goes too low and there is not enough energy to sustain normal functioning, rejuvenation, etc. The feeling of not being enough is part of burnout, and being too much is also part of it. The difference between burnout and stress. 9:21 Stress and burnout are a continuum. Burnout is the far end of chronic unmitigated stress, while stress is healthy and good when it is not chronic. Resentment is the number one tool for keeping yourself out of burnout. It is one of the main tools that she teaches people. More on resentment If you pay close attention to resentments objectively, you will notice that each and every zone of your life where your boundaries are being crossed. Boundaries make you more generous and more forgiving. 17:00 When boundaries are in place, the places that you enjoy being generous are available to you and you can use them. What does it mean to honor your calendar? 19:03 The importance of honoring appointments and paying yourself back What resentment feels like to Cait How to set boundaries when you feel resentment. 20:48 When she feels resentful, it is because she is over giving and feeling like she is doing the same thing. When there is a mismatch in a relationship and resentment is building up, ask yourself a few questions to sort through what is really going on. For some of us and even relationships, we bounce before sending a boundary because we are afraid of setting a boundary. How to avoid burnout? 26:04 Finding the balance between bringing resources in and only releasing the resources that are available. If one does not learn in one area of their life, they can leave whatever relationship or job they want and take it with them to another place. What is the first step to identifying your resentments? 28:26 Identifying resentments is one of the first steps when people come to work with you, because they are the signposts.   Here's a link to Cait's mini-course on resentments!  https://www.caitdonovan.com/store      Resources Mentioned: Sign up for the Webinar here: August 21st, 4PM Eastern: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Yg17bBbCQEeBIz_Y8x4Z3Q August 29th, 12PM Eastern: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sUrUAn_0SNyNivUFOg9I5w   Join the Advocate with Elegance membership!   Stay Connected with Heather: To schedule a call with Heather, click here  To follow Heather on Instagram, click here To subscribe to Heather's newsletter, click here To request a transcript of this episode, email: operations@heatherhansenpresents.com     ____________ Disclaimer: The Elegant Warrior Podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

In this episode of "The Elegant Warrior," we have a special guest, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, an accomplished physician, author, and advocate for women's empowerment. Sasha is the founder and CEO of Brave Enough, a platform dedicated to helping women set boundaries, say no, and take control of their time. In her book, "Brave Boundaries," she shares valuable insights and strategies for establishing boundaries to lead a more fulfilled and balanced life. Key Takeaways: The Struggle with Setting Boundaries: Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses the societal expectations that often make it challenging for women to set boundaries for themselves. Women are often seen as caregivers and helpers, making it difficult to prioritize self-care. This tendency can lead to boundary backlash and challenges when trying to set personal boundaries. Persuading Yourself to Set Boundaries: To overcome the difficulty of setting boundaries, Dr. Shillcutt advises persuading oneself by telling a new story. She encourages women to identify false beliefs about boundaries and replace them with the understanding that boundaries are essential for wellness and self-care. By persuading ourselves, we can enforce boundaries confidently. Identifying Boundary Categories: In her book, Dr. Shillcutt outlines different boundary categories, such as professional life, personal life, family, social media, and more. By identifying and understanding these categories, women can take the first step toward establishing meaningful boundaries in their lives. Approachable vs. Accessible: Dr. Shillcutt highlights the distinction between being approachable and being accessible. Being constantly accessible can lead to burnout and disengagement. Setting boundaries allows women to control when and how they engage with others, ensuring they can give their best to every aspect of their lives. The Power of Compartmentalization: Compartmentalization can be a powerful tool for creating balance and productivity. Dr. Shillcutt shares how she compartmentalizes different aspects of her life, like work and family, allowing her to focus on one area at a time and be more present in each role. Boundaries are essential for well-being and empowerment. Dr. Sasha Shillcutt's book, "Brave Boundaries," offers valuable insights and strategies for setting boundaries that lead to a more balanced and fulfilled life. By persuading ourselves of the value of boundaries, identifying our priorities, and learning to compartmentalize, we can create a life that aligns with our mission and purpose. To learn more about Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and her work, visit her website at becomebraveenough.com. Don't forget to check out her book, "Brave Boundaries," for practical tips and inspiration to create a life with healthier boundaries. Remember, elegance is a choice, and setting boundaries is a powerful step towards living an elegant life. Embrace your power, say no when necessary, and stand strong in setting your boundaries for a more fulfilled and empowered life.

This week's podcast is a replay from a previously aired episode where I interviewed Alexis Brink, president of Jin Shin Institute in New York City and author of “The Art of Jin Shin.” Alexis has been practicing this art since 1991 and it was an absolute pleasure discussing it further with her. In this interview, Alexis talks about the fascinating history of Jin Shin, and how her life forever changed when she first discovered it as a dancer in NYC. She explains how our attitude can affect our body's harmony, and why problems are called ‘projects' in Jin Shin practice. We also discuss using the hands as “jumper cables” to restore energy to the body, Finger Holds, FAST acronym and The Big Breathe Life.
