The last 18 months have caused so many of us to reevaluate the way we live life, and most notably, the work we do. Because of this, experts are predicting that we are at the beginning of one of the biggest professional migrations we've ever experienced as people change jobs, companies, and even industries to align their work with who they truly are. However, there's a hidden roadblock that can stand in your way if you're not watching for it. Many times, our identity gets wrapped up in our job through a process called role engulfment. We begin to see our job not as something we DO, but as WHO WE ARE. The thought of changing that can be very scary, leading us to stay in situations that aren't suited for us, even if we desperately want to change. Today we're talking all about it and what to do to move forward. Also on today's episode, I announced the expansion of my 1:1 coaching practice! I'm so excited to be working with more people in this intensive, intimate capacity. Visit https:/

If you’ve listened to us for a while, you know that we have a very strong take on self-care. That it is necessary, non-negotiable, and that most times, people get a very incomplete view of what it encompasses. In a past episode linked below, we covered our take on self-care with ‘The Self- Care Pyramid.” In this episode, we’re diving deep into self-compassion, a precursor of self-care. Whether we choose to develop self-compassion influences the likelihood that we’ll take care of ourselves, and subsequently, impacts the way we learn and grow from failure. This is a powerful episode, and you won’t want to miss it.  Learn more about the Self Care Pyramid: https://www.peakmindpsychology.com/blog/0183   Learn about our mini-course, Self-Care [by design]: https://www.peakmindpsychology.com/selfcare  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

One of the most difficult situations we can find ourselves in is a transition where we aren't sure what the right next step is. It can be incredibly stressful! The fact of the matter is that we only have one shot at life. And, the "right" direction is the one that aligns to who we truly are at our core. Catch this episode for a quick tip about how to do just that.

A few years back, I made a change to my morning routine that has had a significant impact on the way I show up each day, on the level of control and confidence I feel in my work, and ultimately, in my professional success. This one small change was uncovered when I used the life design process to dig into my self-care routine, of all things. As it turns out, taking a more comprehensive view of self-care is so much more than bubble baths and manicures. It's a set of activities you do to support yourself in showing up as your best. In today's episode, I'm lifting the curtain on this process so you can make small shifts with big impact as well.

So many times when we’re facing the notion of doing something new, uncertain, big, etc., we resort to saying that we can’t do it. We point to reasons why we can’t, and we end up staying right where we are.

Being on the receiving end of negative feedback is never easy. We get defensive, we might feel guilty, we might even get angry. And, all of that mix of emotion can lead us to respond impulsively, rather than responding in a way that is effective and helpful in the long run. In this episode, I’ll talk about ways to build 2 important components of emotional intelligence to help you the next time you receive negative feedback.   Get a free, 7-day trial of the Blinkist app and 20% off your first entire year by visiting this link: https://blinkist.o6eiov.net/c/2730445/802063/10732  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Overwhelm and anxiety. They go hand-in-hand. Tell me if this sounds familiar. Your to-do list balloons, and you become anxious. You worry about how you'll get it all done...and you start to rush around. You move quickly, erratically, attempting to multi-task, and this behavior only fuels the anxiety you feel. This is because our physical behavior sends a powerful signal to our mind to let it know how we're doing.

Nearly everyone has an inner critic to some degree. It's that voice that tells us we're not enough. It points out all of our flaws and reminds us of our inadequacies. It's common to want to get rid of your inner critic or silence it, but some of the most cutting-edge psychological research shows us that this is impossible. That simply trying to do that actually strengthens our critic's voice. So what do we do? Find out in this episode!

You have the right to grow and change.  Well, that’s great and all, but what happens when that growth and that change leads to near crippling uncertainty, self-doubt, and fear? On today’s professional edition of the podcast, we’ll talk about why this happens, and more importantly, what you can do about it.   Catch this Wednesday episode of the podcast to learn about The Committee in Your Mind: https://www.peakmindpsychology.com/blog/0187    Get a free, 7-day trial of the Blinkist app and 20% off your first entire year by visiting this link: https://blinkist.o6eiov.net/c/2730445/802063/10732  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
