We high-achieving millennial women want it all: a thriving career filled with growth, influence, and impact, alongside a personal life brimming with connection, wellness, and balance. Oftentimes, it feels like we have to make a choice between the two, and instead of thriving in our personal and professional lives, we’re stuck in a draining, high-stress grind of endless to-do lists, overflowing inboxes and back-to-back-to-back zoom meetings. Join host Cydnee DeToy as she unravels the stories that fuel our burnout and shares strategies to create a sustainable, passion-fueled career without compromising our ambition. Ready to feel as good as your resume looks?
When we hit our 30s, our relationship with work changes. We are no longer ok letting our jobs be all-consuming, and want to build whole, full lives. But for us, high-achieving and ambitious millennial women, it is not as simple as decelerating to a 9-5pm. Learn how we've gotten to this point, the common questions we're wrestling with and why our relationship with our careers is just so “complicated.”
We wear a lot of hats: VP, Director, Partner, Mom, Sister, Friend, Runner or Artist. Oftentimes we identify most with the first titles in the list - the words that signal what we do and how successful we are. While the MVP opening line of dinner parties everywhere: “what do you do?” places a unique emphasis on what we do, this question only partially explains why for us, high-achieving millennial women, our identities are so tied to our careers. Learn why we identify with our jobs, the impact and how to figure out who you are outside of your career.
We've all heard of “Imposter Syndrome,” but its lesser-known cousin, the “I Haven't Done Enough Syndrome” is widely afflicting high-achieving millennial women across the county. This syndrome drives us to overwork, people-please, and just generally, never feel like enough. Discover what “enough” means to you and how to break this cycle.
