The Career Fit Mom Podcast

Collaboration in entrepreneurship is awesome...if you have the right partner! Meet Winnie Standish, my best biz friend, who invited CareerFit Mom classes and clients into her studio 6 years ago. The opportunity to work with Winnie, and her business partner Nicole, at oaks 'n acorns set my business off on a completely new success trajectory. The major side benefit: friendship. I've been in business collaborations that haven't been as fun or fruitful, and honestly, they can be risky! If you're considering a collaboration for your business, or even with a new team or colleague at work, this podcast will help set you up for success.

Before you make your 2020 goals, go back and reflect on 2019. It doesn't matter if you didn't hit the goals you set last year. Your impact was far greater than you will ever know. You need to be proud of your impact and to really see it. Because what you see is just scratching the surface of who you're helping. Take time to reflect on everything that happened and consider the impact you made in the last year. When you do that, you're able to show up every day trying a little harder to be at your best. And that's when the magic truly happens. You'll never really know the extent of your impact. But you're making it, especially when you're not afraid to live authentically and share from your heart.

A Portfolio Career is when you have multiple income streams making up your full-time salary and workweek.

She's successfully created a financially abundant Portfolio Career that is driven by her deeper purpose of contributing to a healthier world. She is a leader in Beautycounter, a direct-retail company that sells cleaner, safer skincare and cosmetics. She's also a yoga instructor, previously an opera singer and RMT.

One door closes and another opens. Most people agree with this common phrase. Still, it's hard to embrace any positive outlook when you're going through a major career disappointment or workplace catastrophe. I interviewed my Radical Forgiveness Coach, Lorree Appleby, about how to move past career missteps so you can fully step into your greatness at work. She covers what to do when you're passed over for a promotion and how to handle toxic colleagues, amongst other nasty situations you may encounter on the job.

The world of work is in flux. No doubt, our children will have a very different career reality than we do. As much as we want to prepare our kids with the right education, what will ultimately create their success is their outlook about work. The truth is, your kids' perception about work is almost entirely influenced by you and your career. Are you loving or hating your job right now? What attitudes are you bringing home from work? Whatever you're saying about your job, your leader, your direct reports, your company, your commute, or your clients...it's all filling up their little heads and hearts. Change your perspective about your current career, or decide to make the change that your kids will benefit from. Because you'll finally be happy and more fulfilled - and that's the life you want to model for your little ones. For show notes, visit www.careerfitmom.ca/episode52.

Connections are crucial. I brought my friend Nadine Moffatt on the podcast today to chat about what I call the connection “effect”: an energy exchange that occurs when two or more people share experiences.  There are so many benefits to connecting with new and old friends. Relating to someone else's stories is very grounding. Sharing ideas, resources, and perspectives is uplifting.  I encourage you to get out of your head and into your heart. Who do you feel like you should connect with? There's a reason behind that feeling and that person needs to hear from you. Go ahead and light yourself up with a reach-out, a group event, or even host a party. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be you opening yourself up to the connection “effect”. I hope to see you at Connection Day on Sat. Nov. 9th, 2019. Visit www.careerfitmom.ca/events to purchase tickets.

Any type of new skill takes repeated effort to master. In this episode I will coach you to success through the magic of repetition.

If you are considering a career change, and especially if you're on maternity leave, you'll appreciate this interview. My client Natalia went from feeling floundering and anxious with no career path and a unfulfilling job. She created major momentum in her professional life once she understood her transferrable skills and how they fit with her passions. Despite a number of job search setbacks, Natalia persevered by staying positive. She was the second place candidate more than once during the selection process. She encountered discrimination because she was a mother. She was laid off due to company restructuring after working in her new career for only 5 months. Her career pivot resulted in: A professional path she loves in Learning and Development. A higher salary than she was making pre-baby. A shorter commute and fewer draining hours. A manager/mentor she is aligned with and a position in an organization that's fits with her values. For show notes please visit www.careerfitmom.ca/episode49.

Understanding your “why” or your purpose will go a long way in creating networking clarity. Creating Your Profile is the first step in successful networking.

We're integrative people meaning our personality touches every part of our life. Once you understand your purpose, you can deliberately show up everywhere in an authentic way. Everything runs more smoothly when you know your purpose and your values. You begin to naturally align your actions with that sense of being and everything flows.

My approval seeking paradigm stems from my childhood and the challenging relationship I had with my father. It manifested in my very low confidence when starting my business. In the early days, I was derailed when I received negative feedback, if I didn't make a sale, or when prospects were indifferent to my offerings. My own lack of belief in myself stopped me from pursuing my dreams. It took getting fired from one of my subcontracting jobs and my eating disorder diagnosis to wake me up to the negative impact of constantly seeking external validation. We are all good enough. We are all deserving and worthy of the dreams we possess. Seeking approval is not a bad thing, it's only holding you back when you put all of your value into the opinions of others. In this episode I share a bit of my personal experience as a kid growing up with a dad who had his own demons. This is a frame of reference to how I felt as a new entrepreneur and the actions I took (and didn't take). More importantly, I share the good and the bad of being approval seeking at work. With lots of client stories you'll relate to, you'll learn how to detach from approval and harness the power of your own inner strength and guidance to get to the next level professionally.

Restricting food led me to major mental and physical anguish over the years. When I was diagnosed with an eating disorder in my mid-30's I slowly came around to the benefits of not dieting! It's been a major shift for me - in mindset, body acceptance, how I teach fitness and even market CareerFit Mom. I'm not perfect and have a ways to go. I still find myself feeling drawn to new diets, or thinking of upping my exercise intensity, or wanting to promote the aesthetics of exercise over the health benefits. Learning more about Intuitive Eating from Patti is exciting. Her lifestyle and mental state around food and exercise are calming. Patti introduced me to the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating and provided a ton of resources if you are compelled to go deeper with this topic. Adopting an intuitive approach to food and exercise could be the healthiest resolution you make for 2019!

NEAT stands for Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. It's the caloric burn that comes from movement beyond your workouts.
