Life transitions can affect our careers in many ways, but few are as challenging as caring for aging parents while managing a responsible corporate position. Many of us may be facing this challenge now or will be soon.In this episode, I chat with Kim & Mike Barnes, award-winning journalists with more than 30 years of experience in TV. While their two kids are recent college graduates, they are currently caring for parents in their 80s, including Mike’s mother, who has advanced Alzheimer’s, and Kim’s single mother, who faces different challenges.Drawing on their personal and professional experiences, Kim & Mike recognized a need for advice and resources for adult children in similar situations. So, in 2021, they launched Parenting Aging Parents to provide caregivers with content, connection, and community. Their goal is to ensure that no one feels alone during this challenging time and has the information and resources needed to navigate this stage of life.This episode explores their journey and discusses adult children’s common challenges when caring for aging parents. In addition, Kim & Mike offer valuable advice and resources for those in a similar situation, such as finding the proper care for your loved ones, balancing work with caregiving responsibilities, and self-care.This episode is for you if you are going through a similar experience or want to learn more about navigating life transitions.

In this episode, we’ll dig into how women can play the corporate game better, leverage our natural abilities and strengths, and use them to our advantage. Plus, we’ll get my guest’s perspective on leadership, and how women have levers they may not pull.My guest is Rochelle Janssens from Brisbane, Australia. Rochelle works with quietly determined career women ready to move into their first or next leadership role so they can make a bigger difference in the corporate game.Becoming a leader as a woman is often a different journey than for men, and Rochelle believes it helps to know the current rules of the game, so we can use them to our advantage and eventually be in a position to change the practices to benefit everyone.Her experience has taught her that leadership is about who you are being, not what you are doing, so she works with her clients to become a leader from the inside out. As a result, rather than being overworked and overwhelmed, her clients shine as their best selves, attracting the right people and opportunities without the crazy hours and elevated stress levels.If you enjoy this episode and our discussion about playing the corporate game, please give it some love by commenting, sharing a review, or using the five-star rating where available.

As I work with clients and talk with women in my group career roundtables, many are thinking about leaving corporate and becoming an entrepreneur.Having made that leap, I am keenly aware of some of the pitfalls and time suckers we can experience.

Do you attach who you are to what you do for a living? When I was laid off from my last corporate gig, I didn’t know who I was for a while because I was no longer a team leader.Sometimes we need to start over and reinvent ourselves. And many women ask, “who am I now that things have changed?” So, I invited my guest to share her story with you.Avery Thatcher is CEO and founder of the Inner Stillness Outer Chaos Podcast and the Flow State Membership. When she started her career as a Registered Nurse working in ICU, she noticed that many patients were there because of illnesses and diseases linked to chronic stress.Starting over, she got out of the reactive side of medicine and started helping highly sensitive high achievers prevent burnout and reverse the adverse health effects of stress. After experiencing a significant health challenge in 2018, Avery had to learn to redefine her identity and grieve the loss of who she used to be.I thought hearing this story of starting over alongside her tips might help some of you.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the podcast, and give it some love by commenting, sharing a review, or using the five-star rating where available.

Let’s talk about THRIVING!It means different things to different people, so eavesdrop on our conversation and decide what it means to you. Kirsten Beske is a former litigation attorney. But, after the near-death experience of each of her two eldest children, she quit her 14-year law practice and pivoted into psychology. Then, after more than a decade as a psychotherapist, she pivoted again as a Life Redesign Coach for mid-career women ready to make a shift into their NEXT chapter of life and work. Kirsten and I share a passion for holistic coaching and teaching women to thrive. And she shares the principles of positive psychology to enable women to craft their next chapter by maximizing their passions, strengths, values, and purpose. This allows them to wake up with more energy, passion, and joy each day. That sounds like thriving to me!

This episode is a bit of a departure from our typical conversations about career transition, but we’re going to weave a thread for you to follow and bring you back to it.So, let me ask you a question: what would you do if you felt left out and left behind—like a misfit? My guest felt those things so powerfully that she became radically inclusive and found herself always seeking common ground.Nisha Anand is a boundary-buster, common ground creator, and national leader for social and racial justice. Her TED Talk, The Radical Act of Choosing Common Ground, was viewed over one million times in the run-up to the divisive 2020 election. And this election season is no different.Nisha is known today as a leader in cultivating unlikely and unconventional partnerships to create change. She now pushes change-makers to dream bigger, design more inclusive movements, and experiment at scale. As Dream Corps’ CEO, Nisha guides a team of storytellers, organizers, and policy experts working at the intersections of criminal justice reform, green economics, and tech equity to create a better future for all.I want to bring Nisha’s vision to you because we can all use personal and professional encouragement to dream bigger, be more inclusive, and find common ground.If you enjoy this episode, please give it some love by commenting, sharing a review, or using the five-star rating where available.
