Work Your Worth

We want to be totally transparent. Friendships can be such a place of insecurity. The older we get the more that gets added to our plate, the more isolating it can feel. You are no longer in that same group of people from high school or college where you were forced to interact on the daily.  When was the moment you realized that making friends as an adult is hard?

When you are in a funk or experiencing a difficult time, opening your mind to new experiences and activities is so important to getting through. We expanded our minds by partnering up with our good friend Liz Hagan.  Disclaimer-- we are entering into some uncharted waters. If you grew up in a household that didn’t allow you to read Harry Potter, didn’t let you watch Disney movies, or if participating in yoga was a satanic practice this may feel outside of your comfort zone.  Let's talk about energy healing, Reiki, and the power of our intentions.

YOU GUYS. THIS WEEKS EPISODE IS SO IMPORTANT! Making a professional transition is basically an unavoidable fact of life. Very few people work the same job for the entirely of their life. SO. Let’s talk about it. how can you successfully transition into a new career opportunity?  How do you know if you are actually ready for a change?  Are you feeling bored, unfulfilled, or stuck in your current position? The gut instinct is that we are doing the wrong thing. That maybe we chose the wrong field… but sometimes you just need to mix it up in areas outside of your career. Maybe your job isn’t wrong, but the things occupying the rest of your time may be out of balance. Take some time to allow non work things into your life.  Pick up a hobby, change your routine and then reassess. If you still feel stuck, a career transition may be in order.  How do I find my next opportunity?  Here are some key steps to keep in mind as you being to contemplate taking the leap. 

Welcome back to another season of Work your Worth. We are Brigid and Mary and we are so excited to be back with you and ready to kick off season two. Work Your Worth is a safe space for you to be who you are created to be. For you to hear stories of other women who are being who they are created to be. We are building a platform that walks alongside you as you navigate life as career driven a twenty-something. When we started this podcast we were both working in the real estate industry on teams who were growing and changing. SURPRISE. We have both made huge career and personal transitions in the last year. This season we are taking a deep dive into just that--all the things transition and change.

Anna Wickham is an amazing life purpose coach. We had the opportunity to hear her story and how she helps people find the work that is their life purpose. At the end of 2017, she became inspired to finally officially do the work that she was put on earth to do: to help others reject mediocrity and the status quo while embracing a adventurous, fulfilled, balanced, content, and passionate life and career. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? - Marianne Williamson

On today’s couch convo we are sitting in with Amelia Wall. By the age of 18, Amelia was a bodybuilding champion. Today, Amelia has traded in bodybuilding for a healthier lifestyle. In addition to that, Amelia has a really great vlog where she chats with others about important topics such as the journey self love and overcoming adversity.

Our goal is to bring awareness to two sides of mental health. To open up the conversation and to seek further understanding. To show others that they are not alone and to prove that the most unsuspecting people can suffer. Things to keep in mind when dealing with someone who has a mental health issue: - Learn to differentiate when the person you know is speaking and when their illness is speaking. - Protect yourself and give distance when necessary. - Always remember the good and stay cautious of the bad. - Do not throw their illness in their face and shame them. - Understand that you cannot control the actions of others. You can only control your own and you are not at fault for the actions of others.

This topic is heavy. We have done our best to prepare and understand that every person has their own experiences. Today we are going to be sharing about our personal experiences with mental health. rigid and I are not, nor do we claim to be a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or counselor. We have no formal mental or behavioral health training. We simply have our experiences. Our goal today is to bring awareness to the two sides of mental health. And to equip you with some practical tools for navigating a world where 1 in 5 people experience a mental illness. We want you to know that you are not alone. We believe that our story and yours is worth sharing.

Today we are here to talk about something that you’ve heard us mention briefly in our previous podcasts and that is our WHY’s. Every single person has a why. However, many people have yet to uncover it. According to Simon Sinek (who you may know from his incredible Ted Talk on this subject) Your why is the reason you get up in the morning - the purpose, cause, or belief that inspires you to do what you do. Knowing your why as a business owner is extremely important because as Simon puts it, “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” 1. Identify the roles that you have played and currently play in your life. 2. Identify how you went about fulfilling your duty in those roles when you were at your best. 3. Dig deeper -Study your past: 4. Pay attention to your emotions 5. Write down what you need to do for yourself in order to live the life you long for. 6. Look for patterns: while studying your past and evaluating your emotions, what patterns are you noticing? 7. Summariz

OUR FAVORITE F WORDS! Today we are talking about failing forward. We’ve all failed at something whether we want to admit it or not. Failure hurts and can feel demoralizing. Here are some steps you can take in the future to help you fail forward: 1. Be honest with yourself - Admit where you dropped the ball. Complete a self audit. 2. Assess your situation - make a list of pro’s and con’s regarding your circumstance 3. Take those pros and put them into action 4. Write down each mistake you made, what you learned from making those mistakes, and how you would handle that situation in the future 5. Journal what you learned 6.Evolve

We know that goals are a super hot topic. It is something that tends to be emphasized at the beginning of the year and then we all tend to fall off because we never learned how to set goals. No matter your role, we have to emphasize again how important you are and how much you have to bring to the table. Goal setting is something everyone should take ownership of. Our hope is that you will feel empowered to utilize the tools we have provided and apply to your own goal setting. To help you, examples of the 1-3-5 and our goal setting agenda will be uploaded on our resources page. So head over to workyourworth.co and get to it.
