REC PLAY

We all go through moments where things get stuck and do not progress anymore. We tend to blame others or external factors for things not going according to plan and this results situations of giving up.  In this podcast, we talk to success coach Samantha Kris, who is also the author and the community leader behind Bossing Up, about 5 personal attributes which are mostly the main cause of stopping us from succeeding, perfection being one of them.  Let us help you get unstuck with this new podcast episode.

In a world where everything seems like upside down, we do the best we can within our ability to better the situations and move forward.  Once Covid-19 started affecting our lives, we've observed various reactions from people. Many started feeling guilt. The guilt for not continuing working on their projects/business, the guilt of not producing content, the guilt to shutting off and focusing on themselves.  Many videos & social media posts started popping up pressuring people to pivot their mindset, to continue pushing their business, to continue pumping content. And at some extent, these content were produced with good intentions to helping people strive in difficult moments. When faced with trauma, people's actions won't always be reflected as good.   We talk to Pamela Bakalian from Leaders Who Celebrate to understand the paths trauma can impede on someone. Why some people are in denial of this pandemic. How does the human nervous system work?  **NOTE** this episode has much more a depressive feeling at first and has not been produce to degrade anyone or point fingers. This is a learning platform and our discussions remain real & deep. As we go through sad and dark moments in history, our podcast will reflect the times it is being produced. Lighter conversations will return with the changes we will face in our times. We care and love you all.
