Switch, Pivot or Quit

This week I had an enlightening conversation with friend to the show, Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin, about something most of us have dealt with - imposter syndrome. We dive into why even Supreme Court justices struggle with feeling like a fraud, and Dr. Lisa breaks down how toxic workplaces (you know, those "we're a family" cultures that expect 24/7 availability) can make these feelings so much worse.She shares some game-changing strategies, including one surprising technique involving singing! If you've ever questioned whether you truly deserve your seat at the table, this episode is for you. Dr. Lisa's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drorbeaustin/?hl=en

I'm aiming to help you start your week off right with this morning's recording. I'm sharing candid in-the-moment thoughts about self-compassion and the importance of not beating ourselves up over unfulfilled daily goals. Speaking from around my apartment as I start my day, I'm musing on a message about giving ourselves grace in a world that can often feel draining. The episode culminates in a series of uplifting affirmations focused on self-love, personal worth, and embracing both our strengths and weaknesses. This is a gentle reminder that sometimes just waking up and handling immediate needs is enough of an accomplishment.Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ahyiana.angelTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ahyiana.angel
