In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with women over 50, I (Becky Berry) had the great pleasure of talking with my friend Valorie Baylis. Valorie is an Atlanta-area technology veteran and digital implementation specialist who's worked at big companies (AT&T, WebMD) and small start-ups. She's currently a freelance project manager at Delta Air Lines, hence the extremely cool photo!  Valorie and I met when she attended a meeting of Next Chapter for Women, a Meetup a friend and I founded in 2016. Our meetup turned into a private group and we're still going strong 8 years later. I've also worked with Valorie as she's negotiated career changes over the last 8 years. She's brilliant - a great speaker, friend, and thinker. She's a University of Michigan alum and huge Michigan football fan. We've had a couple of moments when Michigan played UGA. Since we're really good friends, it always works out! As you listen to the podcast, you'll notice Valorie has a great voice. She's also a singer. In this episode, Valorie and I talk about the nature of friendship and how social media can help us stay connected to far flung friends. She shares a great story about a pod she and some girlfriends created during COVID that continues with daily text. I particularly enjoyed our conversation about welcoming the possibility of new friendships forming as we age.  Thanks in Advance for your help: I hope you enjoy this episode. If you did, don't keep it a secret! Please tell a friend. Your recommendation is the most powerful way to help us acquire new listeners.

Guilt is a primary hidden driver that we've accepted as a norm. How much of your lives and actions are being driven by this life draining motive? Probably more than you are aware of. But why, is the question. And how can you stop it? I'm with Valorie Burton. Valorie is founder of the Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute and has written more than a dozen books on personal development. She has a unique combination of research, faith, and personal transparency that inspires people to action and delivers practical tools to find fulfillment and purpose in work and life. Her book, “Let Go Of The Guilt,” is my muse. Valerie's research into the reality and nuances of guilt and the hold it has on us is profound, which is why I pursued her to be on the show and shine a light on this very insidious and pervasive driver that is leading so many of us to frustration, exhaustion, burn out and unfulfillment. I begin with Valorie's story. What were her early drivers? What drove her to push and strive and get herself into the Air Force Academy on a presidential appointment, then what drove her to drop out? What drove her to realize how much of her drive was fueled by guilt and what drove her to start a PR firm then abandon it to be an author and speaker? What drove her to marry, then divorce, then to marry again? What drives her today? Type Valorie Burton in any search engine and you'll find her everywhere, and her coaching business is at cappinstitute.com Got a comment or question about an episode?

In 2019, I did what many corporate types would call "the unthinkable." I walked away from opportunities at a Fortune 10 after being "surplussed" without a job lined up. Sure, I had opportunities externally. Yes, I had a seedling of a business that I had started, but I wanted to take the time to think through my next step methodically. I had a mission that only a few were aware of, and that drove me to seek out the one thing that I needed to activate it. Could I do it and remain in corporate? I had interested organizations telling me that I could do both-pursue my calling to author books and speak across the country and internationally and work for them. But I knew that would eventually cause friction. I'd lived it already. That one piece was missing that would activate my mission, and a scroll through Instagram and an ad from a longtime sisterfriend and former client would ultimately become the the gateway to my destiny. I let that sisterfriend turn the tables on me this week, and I thought it would be great to finally share my story: how I went from there...to here, five years later with a thriving, global executive and personal coaching and consulting practice, a publishing journey that has been extraordinary and the speaker tour that began in 2015 and has yet to end. What took me from a 25+ year-long career in strategic communication, agency side, agency owner, and client side to here? I pass Valorie Burton, MAPP, MCC the mic on my show, The Culture Soup Podcast ® as she featured me in her global preview call for The Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute. That is where I earned my certification that would tee me up for credentialing at the world's most respected coaching organizations, International Coaching Federation. I began with her Coach Training Intensive (CTI). So it's befitting that I allowed Valorie to throw back the covers on my purpose-driven story. My pen as my sword, my speaking as my munitions, evidence-based coaching, I discovered, would ultimately become my armor. Join me and Val for this inspiring and powerful conversation about what it actually takes to take on coaching as a profession in this special, extended video edition of The Culture Soup Podcast ® brought to you in part by The CaPP Institute. We're continuing to celebrate the five years anniversary of NSC Coaching, and six years for the podcast with this exclusive rebroadcast of "Conversation with a Coach", and it streams everywhere Thursday afternoon.

Hey there, Purpose Chasers! Today's Wisdom Point is about giving voice to the guilt associated with taking care of ourselves. The concept of slowing down and dedicating time solely to ourselves can be challenging, thanks to a myriad of cultural and societal expectations that often prioritize putting others first.

Ask yourself, what is it costing you to not care for yourself?Show Notes:[1:21] - There are many different reasons that people feel guilt when prioritizing self-care.[3:24] - Valorie shares the thoughts running through her mind as she created self-imposed guilt.[5:33] - What happens when we make decisions out of guilt?[7:21] - We are afraid to have hard conversations so we stuff it down and make decisions that we know aren't right for us.Links and Resources:Redefining Wealth WebsiteThe Institute of Redefining WealthRedefining Wealth AppPatrice Washington on InstagramRyze CoffeeLet Go of the Guilt with Valorie BurtonOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor 75 and use my code rw50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/* Check out HelloFresh and use my code rwfree for a great deal: https://www.hellofresh.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

1️⃣ Set your 2024 up for success by creating your Vision Board with Valorie: valorieburton.com/visionboardchallenge2024

In an ideal world, we'd all admit we need help and get coaching to work on improving ourselves.But that takes two things:1. Admitting it - which is possibly what you've already done by being here2. A coach - which you may not have or be able to afford yetSo, while we wait for everything to work together for your good and for you to eventually have a coach, what else can we do to make sure we're moving forward?Well, we can self-coach. Self-coaching is something we should do whether we have an external coach or not, but all the more so if we don't. Life is hard, and we face various challenges that we don't often know how to navigate. We can get overwhelmed by decisions or indecision and we can get stuck in our minds.But being your own coach is like having a toolkit to navigate these challenges that come your way. It requires pausing, reflecting, and coming up with not just the answers but the process of getting to the answers. Find out what key questions you should be asking yourself during your next self-coaching session.

Being an overachiever is dangerous. Overachievers often feel the need to constantly prove themselves through accomplishments, and tend to burnout because they're never satisfied with how far they've come. We can tend to think that being an overachiever is a good thing but realistically, it's unsustainable. Instead, we should aim to be high achievers who focus on intrinsic motivation and personal growth. This episode is going to help you distinguish several indicators of overachievement and the key attributes in high achievers that allow for sustainability in success.Tune in to shift toward the growth mindset of a high achiever and away from the dangers of burning out from overachieving and never finding contentment.In This Episode:- Overachievers tend to overcompensate- Fixed mindset vs growth mindset- Overachievers are prone to upward social comparison- Primary motivations of overachievers vs high achievers- High achiever qualitiesResources Mentioned:Happiness: Lessons from a New Science by Richard Layard https://a.co/d/ary9qvb Personal Growth Plan https://go.valorieburton.com/swa58441289 Connect with Valorie Burton:Check out all of Valorie's books here - https://valorieburton.com/books/ Website - https://valorieburton.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton

I'll be honest. While the retirement rules have always seemed pretty straightforward....the Flex? The Dependent Care? The "fully insured" health insurance!?

There's no way you haven't heard this from someone before. “Never give up, you're no quitter.”Actually, oftentimes, if not most, quitting is associated with failure.But does that even make sense? The idea that we can never quit or walk away from something doesn't seem to leave room for growth, does it?Like when you grow and realize that this thing you signed up for or initially started to pursue isn't actually helpful or healthy – are you meant to stick through it? Well, it's possible that the real failure is in the limiting belief that you can't change your mind and move on.If you feel stuck and you don't know if it's time to walk away yet, this episode is for you. Valorie's 5 signs to know if you should keep going or if it's time to quit will help you assess your goals in a new light and steer you in the right direction.“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30In This Episode:- When quitting is right for you- Matthew 11:28-30 ‘Weary and burdened'- 5 Ways to know if you should persevere or keep going- #1 You're energized- #2 Stretched but not broken- #3 Peace in the chaos- #4 Purpose in the pain- #5 Worth the effort (Reward on the other side!)- What will this goal give you that you don't already have?- RecapAnd more!Connect with Valorie Burton:- Check out all of Valorie's books here- https://valorieburton.com/books/ - Website - https://valorieburton.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton

**For extra tips on stopping your Analysis Paralysis, visit https://valorieburton.com/podcast**The curse of having too many good ideas or options…Is there any chance you can actually accomplish them all? And if you can't, how do you choose which one(s) to start with, knowing that it might mean the other ones never come to life?It's like trying to choose a new movie to watch on Netflix and instead watching dozens of trailers only to look back and realize you've missed out on a whole hour that could have actually been spent watching one of those movies.It's overwhelming, to say the least. This happens to business owners all the time. You start a business, and you think of loads of things that can contribute to your business success, but you just don't know where to start.Well, that's why Valorie recommends: “Don't be a Maximizer.”It means you need to break the thought pattern that says, “There might be something better.”Instead, the key is to become a “Satisficer.”Don't worry if you don't know what these terms mean. It will all make sense after you listen to this bite-sized episode that will help you take your first step toward your next good idea.“Satisficers are not slackers by any stretch. They are more content. They're more efficient in their work. They miss fewer important opportunities because they have the time to focus on the things that truly matter.” - Valorie Burton.In This Episode:- Paradox of Choice by Dr. Barry Schwartz- What is a Maximizer?- What is Satisficing?- How to Satisfice- Voluntarily limiting your choices- Determining what is good enough- Why lowering your expectations doesn't have to be a negative- Comparing your decisions with everyone else's- About the Successful Women's AcademyAnd more!Interested in developing better habits for success like the ones mentioned in this Episode?

Motivation is like the wind. It comes and it goes.Chances are it's going more than it's coming.As much as you wish that you could feel productive, and inspired to take action all the time (or even half of the time), there's just a missing motivation that often stops you from doing what you need to do.So in this episode, Valorie is going to give you the secret that all successful people use to stay motivated 100% of the time without fail.Here's the Big Secret: Don't believe anyone telling you they have got the secret to all-day, every day motivation. It's a lie. HA! No, but seriously. The truth is, no one feels motivated 100% of the time.Those mindset gurus and motivational speakers and ultra-successful people you see on Social Media may be more motivated than you, but even they struggle sometimes.So, if it's not motivation, what is it that makes them different? Is it just that they love what they do? Or that it comes naturally to them? Or maybe they just have better inspiration.No, it's that they've learned to distinguish their feelings from their decisions. And you can too.If you're ready to stop waiting and start achieving, tune in to hear this message of empowerment and learn how to make consistent progress toward your biggest goals.“Your feelings are honest. They're not necessarily the truth.” - Valorie BurtonNeed extra help with inspiration and motivation?

My Christian campgoers will get this. Stick with me for a second…Have you ever gone to a camp, been pumped up by the Holy Spirit, felt truly transformed, enlightened, and ready to change the world?But then you get back home, your sister says something mean or wrong about you, and all that goes out the window?For my non-Christian camp goers, it's like going to a work meeting where you're all on the same page, everyone has valuable feedback, and then you go back to work, and nothing changes; you're just all complaining.The point is that staying positive is easy when you're surrounded by positivity, but it can be challenging when you encounter negative people and situations.

Turns out “Work Hard, Play Hard” may be way more scientifically sound than any of us thought.As a responsible adult, chances are your struggle is likely in the playing part. You've got all caught up with work, chores, maybe raising kids, and the seriousness of life's various obstacles. And the last thing you want to hear is that you should be adding more to your list and generally be more positive. Why? Why does it even matter beyond the obvious feel-good mushy stuff?Elaine O'Brien, renowned fitness and positive psychology leader, is on the show today to walk us through the impact that play has on our lives and even our work. There are huge benefits you're missing out on if you're not playing. Particularly, you're missing out on a tool that actually helps you deal with the really hard things in life.Elaine's inspiring work in advancing mental health and physical fitness has transformed the lives of thousands. It has shown that play has the power to provide us with a mental and emotional cushion when dealing with life's crises. Whether it's Nerf gun wars, swinging in playgrounds, cracking jokes, or other games, the key is looking for opportunities to create joy in life's everyday cycles.How many of us have things thrown our way that we wish we handled better? Well, tune in because this could be the key.If you can incorporate those micro-moments of play, even into your most serious day, it kind of sets you free. It connects you.” ~ Elaine O'Brien In This Episode:- Playing hard is actually a great success strategy- Play isn't just something you do AFTER all the hard work- How play can create a foundation of goodness and shift your baseline- Overcoming your Negativity Bias- The power of play at workAnd so much more!Connect with Elaine O'Brien and check out her resources:- Website: http://elaineobrienphd.com - Elaine's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Play-Optimize-Your-Potential-ebook/dp/B0BFJSR5RM - Check out the FREE Power of Play Fun Tracker https://www.powerofplay.fun Other Resources Mentioned:Research on Positive Emotions - https://positivepsychology.com/broaden-build-theory/ Connect with Valorie Burton:- Check out all of Valorie's books here- https://valorieburton.com/books/ - Website - https://valorieburton.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton

THANK YOU… Your commitment to personal growth and making a positive impact is truly commendable, and we're excited to explore a topic that can enrich your journey.Today, we're delving into the heart of gratitude. It's a practice that might seem straightforward, but as we navigate life's challenges, finding reasons to be grateful can be tough.Your boss is underappreciating your work, you've got dishes piling up and chores that never end, you take 3 steps forward but something pushes you back 20, someone cuts you off on the road or you're going through major medical and health issues…In a world filled with ups and downs, it's only natural to sometimes wonder if there's anything to be thankful for.However, let's not underestimate the power of gratitude. It's not just a mere platitude; it's a genuine superpower that can elevate your entire life. It's not about denying challenges, but rather about embracing a mindset that can lead to better sleep, improved mood, and stronger relationships.It's a happiness trigger and that's precisely why so many successful women use it. Valorie will share some powerful examples of how gratitude has changed her life in this episode. If you haven't already pressed play, won't you let this episode help you make a Gratitude Adjustment?"Positive emotion is a success strategy. We know this because the research shows that positive emotion literally makes you more resilient, it expands your ability to deal with adversity and with stress." ~ Valorie Burton In This Episode:- Having a gratitude adjustment: The best way to express gratitude- How gratitude impacts your health and your relationships- How gratitude impacts your success- Are you taking things for granted?- Defining gratitude and how to use it as a toolAnd so much more!Before you go, try this out:Think of something in your life where you just know you haven't had a great attitude…- Write down 3 things you can choose to be grateful for in that situation- Reflect on why you are grateful and write that down too- Remember, successful women think differently.

Let's face it: there are days when you just don't feel like getting things done. On those days, what are the thoughts that can move you forward when you don't feel motivated?Valorie is sharing a simple yet valuable tool on how we can keep moving forward on those days when we can't seem to get out of bed. Sharing a story from her father, sometimes momentum starts with just getting your feet on the ground. Learning that sometimes your feelings are not 'the truth', perhaps you need to consider honoring the actions that will take you to where you know you want to go. And if we do this, a pre-determined intentional action, we give our feelings time to catch up.Take writing, for example: rather than sit around waiting to feel inspired to start writing, take the action of sitting down to write. And surely, inspiration will follow! There's also advice on taking a gratitude break, knowing when to phone a friend, and how to be intentional about cultivating positive emotions that will all help move the needle for you on those days when you simply don't want to move at all! All of this inspiring content is presented with Valorie's warmth and authenticity in an episode of Successful Women Think Differently that everyone will surely be able to relate to.

Have you ever taken the next step because it was offered? Not because it was your dream job but because it was an easy opportunity that just came along. And then perhaps, after a while, deep down, you began to wonder: is there something more? Is there an opportunity out there that is more aligned with your deeper purpose?Today on Successful Women Think Differently, host Valorie Burton is engaging in a coaching session with Jen Ramona, unpacking her 'should,' her purpose, and her next career move. Jen is part of Valorie's Successful Women Academy (SWA), and she has actually known Valorie since the 7th Grade. And so there is a warm affection between these two friends as Jen opens up on her recent retrenchment ("they" call it restructuring) - and what she should do next.Jen started her career as an office manager some 22 years ago and ended up as a healthcare executive in the same company. Deep down, she knew that the job was not the thing she should do forever – and so now she is taking some time to figure out what she should really be doing. Valorie is able to assist Jen in articulating her values, what she brought to her team, and what it would require from her next opportunity to turn that experience from a 9 into a 10. This episode is a delightful instruction in assessing your 'shoulds,' pinpointing what has been working for you (not "they”), and then articulating and aligning your strengths before focusing on a more purposeful next step! Please join us. "I don't know how, but I think losing my job is going to be the biggest blessing." ~ Jen RamonaIn This Episode:- Jen shares where she is at career-wise- Is it okay to fall into the next thing? - What is your dream role?- Defining 'when I grow up'- How is curiosity driving you to be different?- What's missing from Jen's career?- Lining up your 'shoulds' and assessing what's working And so much more!Connect with Valorie Burton:- Check out all of Valorie's books here- https://valorieburton.com/books/ - Website - https://valorieburton.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed you don't know what to do next? Most of us have been there: it all feels too much, we feel the pressure of a deadline, and we try to do it all ourselves. Today, Valorie has a simple formula – The 4 Ds – which can help us all with that feeling of overwhelm.This formula comes from Valorie's book, Brave Enough To Succeed, and if you can apply these tools when you're feeling overwhelmed, you will be able to STOP, take control, and prioritize what it is that you need to do next. Sometimes in your life, you do need to push on through, but sometimes pushing through is not the best idea. And this is when you need to give yourself permission to take a break. If you, like Valorie, are something of a 'time optimist' and put more and more on your plate until you bump up against a deadline and then perhaps scream silently to yourself, 'Help!', then this is the help you need. From figuring out what you must Do and what you can Delay, what to Delete (and the joy of just saying NO), and what to Delegate, help is at hand to overcome your overwhelm today! If your overwhelm is becoming a repetitive pattern, then it's time to apply the 4 Ds! Please join us. "There's a lot of power in being able to delay things when you're delaying them intentionally. Because you come to realize that a lot of your deadlines are just arbitrary." ~ Valorie BurtonIn This Episode:- Putting the things on your 'to-do' list into a healthy perspective- How even just saying 'this is hard' can reduce your stress- Exercising self-compassion- Understanding 'false urgency'- Distinguishing between what you Must Do and what you Can Delay- The importance of learning How To Delegate- Is your overwhelm becoming a repetitive pattern?And so much more!- Coaching Challenge:Please put each item on your 'To Do' list into one of these four categories:Do / Delay / Delegate / Delete... and watch how your feelings of overwhelm diminish!

What does it take to be better - and not bitter - after a setback? Today on Successful Women Think Differently, host Valorie Burton is talking about the 5 Commitments to Resilience we can all make that can help us deal with adversity in healthier ways. Successful people navigate challenges and bounce back from disappointment every single time using these 5 key commitments. It's often what defines them. Learning how to put things into perspective when you feel that life has sideswiped you into a ditch is something that Valorie has learned to do over time. These 5 Commitments to Resilience are an offering for you to learn and apply these tools yourself. And who knows, perhaps you won't end up in that ditch after all. Resilience isn't just naturally engrained into humans. Life kicks us down, some more than others, and how we handle those situations can ultimately define our success beyond those adversities.We had a tiny hiccup ourselves recently, actually. In this episode, in fact. You're going to notice a video glitch at minute 16:40 but don't be alarmed; we made sure the audio still works great, and we didn't want you to miss out on the insight -- so we push through with resilience!If something rocks your world – from a life-threatening diagnosis to losing a loved one – it's possible to grow through these unintentional, unwanted challenges if you are intentional. That's the first pearl of wisdom Valorie is offering us. Learn why throwing yourself a pity party won't work, and choosing to dwell on the thoughts you can control is a better way to be intentional in overcoming your adversity. Resilience is a skill we can all learn in this engaging and relatable episode. You can decide to be courageous today. Please join us. "When you get humbled in your life, it changes you.

Why is it that women will only apply for a job when they meet ALL of the requirements, whereas men will apply for jobs when they often only meet half? There is a lot of research on how women underestimate their abilities and speak with less confidence about their accomplishments.So, what can you do as a Successful Woman who Thinks Differently to start building confidence today? Valorie starts with an appraisal of the areas of our life where a lack of confidence might have prevented us from doing more. Maybe it's a job you never applied for, or maybe it's a relationship you didn't believe you were good enough to be in. Upon reflection, you may see a pattern of inaction that played a part in your not seizing the moment. How we turn our thoughts into action is the antidote – and indeed a veritable definition of confidence – that Valorie is asking us to embrace. It's about taking a small action NOW and trusting our talent and ability. Seeing confidence as part of a cycle that leads to action, which brings success, and with it, more confidence is the smart approach that will inspire you as a Successful Woman not just to Think Differently but to TAKE ACTION too. And remember, that action starts with one small achievable step. Please join us. The definition I love most of confidence is that confidence is the stuff that turns our thoughts into action.” ~ Valorie BurtonIn This Episode:- How a lack of confidence can negatively impact your opportunities in life- The difference between living on purpose and living by accident- Learning to overcome a ‘Then I will…' mindset- Understanding the cycle of confidence, action, and success- What does self-efficacy mean to you?- Valorie's podcasting journey as it pertains to confidence- How a personal trainer helped Valorie's consistency (which builds confidence)- Starting with the small wins - and building consistently from thereCoaching Questions:- Where are you when it comes to your confidence? - What is a goal that you have that you've been putting off?- What is a doable step or action you can take toward achieving that goal right now? - When could you take that step?

Do you ever find it difficult to complete any project because you're still putting the finishing touches on it? Do you keep putting off goals because the timing isn't right? In other words, is your perfectionism getting in the way of you living a successful life?Perfectionism is a problem. Sometimes we talk about it as a humble brag when we say things like, "Oh, I'm such a perfectionist!” But the truth of the matter is that sometimes perfectionism can keep you from realizing your dreams!Valorie is impressing upon us an important lesson in today's episode of Successful Women Think Differently. And that is that excellence and perfectionism are not one and the same. Excellence is a process that accepts that you might make mistakes along the way, whereas perfectionism is, in fact, rooted in fear. Learn how to play out your fears of what will happen if things don't work out quite as perfectly as you hope or plan. Don't get stuck in the ‘what if' of it all! Valorie's three strategies to help you reign in your perfectionism and start galloping towards your dreams with a mindset of excellence are the secret sauce in this week's episode of Successful Women Think Differently.
