Was passiert, wenn der Stress mit serviert? In dieser ehrlichen und persönlichen Folge erzähle ich dir von einem Abend, der anders hätte enden können – wenn ein einziger Satz anders gefallen wäre. Es geht um viel mehr als nur ein Restaurant-Erlebnis. Es geht um Selbstführung. Um Präsenz. Und um die Frage, was wir aus Druckmomenten machen – als Gast, als Gastgeberin, als Mensch. Du erfährst: Warum ein einziger Satz Stimmung kippen kann Was Unachtsamkeit im Service wirklich kostet Wie Selbstführung sichtbar wird – oder eben nicht Welche Alternativen es braucht, wenn es eng wird Und warum Präsenz keine Esoterik, sondern Leadership ist Diese Folge ist ein Plädoyer für Mini-Momente der Klarheit – egal, ob du ein Team führst oder einen Abend begleitest.

In dieser inspirierenden Solo-Folge von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über ein Thema, das uns alle betrifft: die Kraft unserer Stimme. Ich erzähle dir eine persönliche Geschichte, die mir gezeigt hat, wie viel ein einziger Satz bewirken kann – im echten Leben und in der Führung. Du erfährst: Warum Schweigen eine größere Konsequenz haben kann als Sprechen Wie du dich aus der Falle des "People Pleasing" befreist Welche drei Impulse dir helfen, deine Stimme kraftvoll zu nutzen Warum gerade empathische und klare Frauen in Führungsrollen gebraucht werden Wie du dein persönliches „Hey, lass das!“ trainieren kannst Diese Folge ist ein Plädoyer für mehr Klarheit, mehr Mut und mehr Sichtbarkeit. Für dich – und für all die Frauen (und Männer), die Verantwortung übernehmen wollen. Teile die Folge mit einer Frau, die manchmal zweifelt, ob ihre Stimme zählt. Und erinnere dich: Deine Stimme hat Macht.

In dieser Solo-Episode von „Frauen in Führung“ spreche ich über einen Satz, der mir in fast jedem Coaching begegnet: „Bin ich gut genug?“   Ob leise im Hintergrund oder ganz direkt ausgesprochen – dieser Gedanke beeinflusst Entscheidungen, Selbstwert und Karrieren von Frauen auf allen Ebenen. Ich zeige dir, woher dieser Zweifel kommt, warum er so hartnäckig ist und was du konkret tun kannst, wenn er dich blockiert.   Ich teile persönliche Erfahrungen aus meiner Zeit als Vollzeitmutter, erzähle von der Kraft der Achtsamkeit und stelle dir meinen neuen MBSR-Kurs in Hamburg vor, der dich dabei unterstützen kann, deinen Fokus zu stärken, ruhiger zu werden und dich endlich gut genug zu fühlen – nicht nur im Kopf, sondern im Herzen.   Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du dich oft selbst klein machst, zögerst in Meetings zu sprechen oder dich fragst, ob du wirklich das verdienst, was du dir wünschst.

Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases to loved ones.Then we move into a visualization where we radiate kindness energy out to drench ourselves in the warm energy of kindness. The longer we stay in the experience of lovingkindness, the more our neurons wire and fire together, allowing the passing state of kindness to become a permanent trait.Meditation can be challenging at times.

In dieser Episode von „Frauen in Führung“ nehme ich dich mit in die Küche – und in den Kopf – von Thorsten Gillert, Inhaber und Küchenchef des Hamburger Restaurants Der erdbeerfressende Drache. Wir sprechen über seinen Weg durch die Sternegastronomie, über das, was Atmosphäre wirklich ausmacht – und warum er lieber kocht, als über sein Kochen zu sprechen. Thorsten teilt ehrlich, was ihn an klassischer Spitzengastronomie stört, was ein gutes Team ausmacht und warum er besonders gerne mit Frauen arbeitet. Wir sprechen über Rassismus-Erfahrungen auf hoher See, über synästhetische Geschmackserlebnisse – und über das große Geschenk, Menschen wirklich zuzuhören. Ein Gespräch über Haltung, Handwerk und Herz. Und über einen ganz besonderen Ort an der Alster.

Many years ago I was in a cycle of a certain kind of stress that was bubbling just beneath the surface, in a way that didn't scream urgency as you would perhaps feel during a big life transition, exam season or project deadline season, the illness of a family member, but rather, the kind of daily stress that keeps you on a hamster wheel, moving through your day scratching things off to-do lists, with your mind firmly on the next thing. I started having this very uncomfortable feeling that I was ending my day and when my head hit the pillow, even when I had gotten a lot of things done that day, I felt as though I had missed the whole day. I felt as though time was rushing past me and twirling me around as if caught in the force of white rapids. Had I even taken a conscious breath in the entire day? Had I really been present in my conversations? Had I even looked at my dogs as we were going on our long walk that I looked forward to so much? Had I even looked at the beauty of the woods we were walking in? As it tends to happen, when I looked at my food choices that day, I had similar questions. Why did I eat that food I really didn't feel like eating just because it was easiest? Did I even taste my food? How long did it take me to eat? How was it? What was my favorite part? The answers to all of these questions were either a mind left blank, or a big, no. As in no I hadn't been present in anything I had done that day, only in the race to get everything done. Something had to change, and I did a little Google search and found something that changed my life forever. A free, open sourced, no email required course on something called mindfulness, MBSR mindfulness to be specific. What happened during the next few weeks was so astounding, and it still keeps me company to this day, it has changed my relationship with food, and it has been, above all else, a time stretcher. In today's episode, I give you a beginners guide to MBSR mindfulness and how it connects to mindful eating and veganism. I'll provide you with resources, courses, apps, tools, videos and especially, a guide for getting started. For the videos and links mentioned in today's episode click here or visit brownble.com/blog

Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases to loved ones. Then we move into a visualization where we radiate kindness energy out to drench ourselves in the warm energy of kindness. The longer we stay in the experience of lovingkindness, the more our neurons wire and fire together, allowing the passing state of kindness to become a permanent trait.

"When you step away from what's ‘safe' and listen to your inner knowing, you open yourself to a life of fulfillment and joy." Today, I sit down with Courtney Schulnick, a former litigator who left her two-decade-long legal career to follow her passion for mindfulness. Courtney shares her incredible journey of navigating the pressures of a demanding profession, overcoming anxiety, and ultimately choosing to pursue a life aligned with her heart's desires.We dive into the pivotal moments that led her to this decision, including her transformative experience with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and how it helped her heal from stress and burnout. Courtney also talks about the challenges of stepping away from the stability of her legal career and into the unknown world of entrepreneurship, where she now teaches mindfulness to legal professionals and corporate teams.If you've ever felt the pull to leave behind what's familiar and safe in favor of pursuing a dream, this episode will give you the courage and inspiration to take the leap.

Csak úgy repkednek az olyan kifejezések mostanában, mint a toxikus munkahely vagy toxikus kapcsolat, a bántalmazás, a munkahelyi kiégés és az önbeteljesítés. Vajon ki lehet égni a magánéletben is és vannak olyan munkahelyek, amik nem toxikusak? Egyáltalán mi az, ami toxikussá tesz egy munkahelyet vagy egy kapcsolatot, hogyan lehet megjavítani és van-e értelme? Év elején hajlamosak vagyunk világmegváltó terveket szőni arról, hogy többet teszünk a jóllétünkért, ami természetesen érinti a munkahelyünket is, sokan pedig el is döntik, hogy idén minden máshogy lesz, mint tavaly. Aztán január végére általában belátják, hogy ez vagy nem ilyen egyszerű, vagy a valódi változáshoz nem elég elhatározni a dolgot. Főleg akkor, ha a munkahelyi nyomás kiégésbe torkollott, a munkavállaló pedig már csak vergődik a mindennapokban. A kiégés azonban nem csak az egyén problémája, komoly gazdasági károkat okozhat a munkából való kiesés, ezért a megelőzés és a kezelés nagyon fontos lenne minden szempontból. Hogyan lehet elkerülni a kiégést vagy ha már kiégett az ember, mit tehet annak érdekében, hogy kimásszon a gödörből? Ilyenekről fogunk beszélgetni a mai tyúkólban, megpróbálunk redflageket keresni, amikre érdemes odafigyelni, szóba kerülnek a tünetek meg a sokkoló statisztikák is. Vendégünk Szalay Ágnes, pszichológus és coach. Munkájában arra törekszik, hogy támogassa az embereket a belső egyensúlyuk megtalálásában, és abban, hogy megtalálják az elégedettséget a munkájukban, az életükben. Szervezetfejlesztőként és coachként gyakran találkozik a túlzott stressz, a kiégés hatásaival – és szerencsére többeket látott már ebből kijönni, változtatni az életükön. Öt éve gyakorolja a mindfulness meditációt, és tanítja is nyolchetes mindfulness alapú stresszcsökkentés (MBSR) tanfolyamokon. Ha a kiégés, stressz témakörben még szívesen olvasnátok, itt és itt és itt megtehetitek. Bővebben: 00:00:16 - Év elején néha túl sokat is megfogadunk, például a munkánkkal kapcsolatban. 00:01:54 - Miért szar minden? 00:04:14 - Nem létezik a Blue Monday, de azért megbeszéljük, hogy mi az, mert lehet azért benne valami… 00:07:10 - Mi kell ahhoz a munkahelyeken, hogy ne égjünk ki és ne legyünk teljesen motiválatlanok? Van erre megoldás egyáltalán? 00:07:59 - Kiégni akkor tudsz igazán, ha szereted a munkád. 00:12:06 - Gyakorlatilag mindenki ki lehet égve… 00:15:52 - Nem tudjuk elképzelni magunkról, hogy kevesebb feladatot vállaljunk magunkra. 00:16:33 - A nulladik lépés az önkizsákmányolás ebben a rendszerben. 00:19:22 - A munkáltatónak ELVILEG törvényi kötelezettsége, hogy odafigyeljen a dolgozók mentális egészségére. 00:23:34 - Vannak szakaszai a kiégésnek, sorra is vesszük őket! 00:27:22 - A nők hajlamosabbak a kiégésre. 00:31:38 - … és ki tudnak égni a családi teendőkben is. 00:32:07 - A 2025-ös Mamba-akció. 00:38:05 - A stresszel, a megfelelési kényszerrel, az alkalmatlanság érzéssel egyáltalán nem vagyunk egyedül! 00:40:42 - A nőknek eleve több szerepben kell lehetőleg tökéletesen helyt állnia. 00:43:18 - És nem csak akkor, ha van gyerekük, ha nincs, akkor pont azért lesznek céltáblák. 00:47:16 - Nagyon fontos az érdekérvényesítés, és az is, hogy már az állásinterjún észrevegyük a redflageket, ha toxikus egy munkakörnyezet. 00:59:17 - Van generációs különbség is a munkához való hozzáállásunkban és abban, hogy mennyire hagyjuk magunkat kiszipolyozni… 01:05:14 - Témaváltás: Hová lett a sisterhood a munkahelyekről? Miért lesz nő a nőnek farkasa? 01:08:02 - Egy patriarchális társadalomban próbálunk nőként boldogulni. 01:12:03 - Más-más “életparanccsal” érkezünk a helyzetekbe nőként és férfiként, ezek pedig néha megnehezítik a problémák kezelését. 01:14:20 - “Ha mi kibírtuk, nektek is ki kell bírni!” - hozzáállás. 01:18:22 - Nőként ne legyél se túl jó, se nem elég jó. 01:19:53 - A beszélgetés és a munkahelyi kapcsolatok építése is lehet eszköz a konfliktusok és a munkahelyi nehézségek kezelésében. 01:27:34 - A lányok publikus alázása az oktatásban és a munkahelyeken is nagyon rossz hatással van mind az elszenvedőkre, mind a fiúkra, még akkor is, ha ezt nem ismerik fel azonnal. 01:30:06 - Írjátok meg a Blu Monday tapasztalataitokat! :) Némi olvasnivaló: Lelombozó statisztikák, amik szerint akár a munkavállalók több mint négyötöde is közel lehet a kiégéshez? A kiégés tünetei elég általánosak, de azért meglehetősen beszédesek. Byung-Chul Han is írt a kiégésről, könyve a A kiégés társadalma címmel jelent meg 2010-ben. A covid-járvány alatt elterjedt home-office nem tett jót: a szabadidő eltűnt, a munka és a magánélet összecsúszott, ez pedig megágyazott a kiégésnek. Fiatal felnőttek, halogatás és kiégés – a cikk óriásit tarolt, úgyhogy a 444-en külön is beszélgettünk róla. A kiégést már hivatalosan is elismerik betegségként, létezik a kiégés-szindróma. Beragadunk a robotpilóta-üzemmódba és elszalad mellettünk az élet. Akkor a legkönnyebb kiégni, ha szereted a munkád. Önzőnek tűnik magaddal foglalkozni, de nem önzés, ha odafigyelsz arra, hogy hogy vagy. Podcastunk kéthetente jelentkezik új adással, meghallgatható a 444 Spotify- és Apple-csatornáján is.

Here I offer a guided meditation where we are invited to observe the felt experience of the body by using the metaphors of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.

Learning to Be Mindful in Life with Courtney Schulnick   As a Lawyer and Certified Mindfulness Educator, Courtney Schulnick is passionate about helping fellow attorneys and business professionals find ways to manage stress and anxiety better, as she has learned.   For the better part of two decades now, Courtney has worked as an attorney defending individuals and businesses in casualty matters in both local, state, and federal courts.   As a litigator in a high-pressure environment, Country knows firsthand what chronic stress can do to one's focus, performance, relationships, and overall health.   With a hugely rewarding career and a family she adored, Courtney once found herself close to a virtual breakdown due to the pressure of trying to balance it all.   Juggling too much and suffering some personal losses, Courtney found herself unable to enjoy what really mattered in life and knew something had to change.     To better manage her anxiety and the stressors, Courtney enrolled herself in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program offered at the Myrna Brind Center for Mindfulness at Jefferson in Philadelphia, PA.   It would be there that Courtney noticed the ways in which the practice of mindfulness increasingly enriched her life on both a professional and personal level.     The desire to deepen her own practice and share the gift of mindfulness with others encouraged Courtney to complete the extensive MBSR teacher training at Jefferson.   Now, as an educator herself, Courtney helps others overcome their anxiety and stress by teaching mindfulness so that they, too, can live more fully in the present moment and achieve greater balance, vitality, and health.   Her greatest teachers of all time … Her husband and three young boys.   Listen in as Courtney, and I discuss how finding it hard to balance a healthy life helped her discover just how to do that, her mission to help others do the same before they become burned out, and how being mindful has led her to a path of FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer," the host discusses the importance of mindfulness in managing stress within the legal profession. The guest, Courtney Schulnick, an experienced litigator turned mindfulness coach, shares her journey from litigation to mindfulness after facing stress and anxiety. She explains the benefits of mindfulness for lawyers, addressing skepticism and providing practical insights into how mindfulness can help with self-awareness, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Courtney also introduces her upcoming mindfulness workshop aimed at helping lawyers integrate mindfulness into their busy lives to improve their mental well-being. Do you want increased productivity, reduced stress, and better work-life balance? Come to Courtney's Cultivating Mindfulness workshop on 1/25 at 10am. You can register here: https://www.courtneyschulnickmindfulness.com/events Courtney Schulnick, Esquire dedicated two decades to practicing law in the Casualty Department of Marshall Dennehey's Philadelphia office, litigating cases in state and federal courts. As a seasoned litigator, she experienced firsthand the challenges of managing the stressors inherent in a high-pressure profession. Seeking a way to better navigate these demands, Courtney enrolled in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program at the Myrna Brind Center for Mindfulness at Jefferson in Philadelphia, PA. This transformative experience not only helped reduce her own stress, but also revealed the profound ways mindfulness can enhance both personal and professional well-being. Inspired to share these benefits with others, Courtney completed Jefferson's extensive teacher training and now teaches MBSR and graduate-level courses at the Center for Mindfulness, as well as other mindfulness programs through her own business, "Courtney Schulnick Mindfulness."  Drawing on her legal background and mindfulness expertise, she specializes in helping professionals in the legal sector and other stress-prone industries cultivate resilience, focus, and balance. Her passion lies in transforming workplace cultures by fostering mindfulness practices that empower individuals to thrive in the present moment and create a more supportive environment that enhances well-being and optimizes performance. Courtney's work goes beyond teaching mindfulness, focusing on fostering meaningful and lasting changes in professional environments. Her approach helps individuals and teams reduce stress, boost vitality, and cultivate greater job satisfaction. She envisions workplaces as spaces that inspire renewal and growth, empowering professionals to feel supported, recharge effectively, and stay connected to their purpose. When she's not teaching or speaking, Courtney finds inspiration and grounding in her greatest teachers - her husband and their three sons - with whom she enjoys adventuring and exploring the beauty of the world.
