It’s been about a year since the pandemic took over the world and changed life and work as we know it. And while there does seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel, things continue to be incredibly challenging and many of us are feeling understandably weary. On this episode we talk about some specific things we can do to address our weariness and effectively navigate the coming days, weeks, and months as we make our way through this difficult time. We have more than this requires…even when it’s hard for us to remember how strong we are.
When we’re struggling, one of the hardest but most important things we can do is tell the truth about it. Even though this is vulnerable, having the courage to be authentic liberates us, gives other people permission to do the same, and often allows us to gain both perspective and support. On this episode, we talk about the power of telling the truth, even and especially when things are challenging or scary, as is the case for many of us these days. Although we each have different circumstances, experiences, and difficulties, we truly are all in this together.

Full Show NotesI’m not a huge fan of making mistakes. However, mistakes are a part of life, business, relationships, leadership, parenting, and being human. Trying to avoid making mistakes or judging ourselves and others harshly when they happen, are detrimental to our success and well-being. On this episode, we explore our relationship to mistakes and talk about how we can be more compassionate, forgiving, and kind when things don’t go the way we want them to go.
