41: Coaching: How to Overcome Self Imposed Limits

Wednesday, July 24, 2024 • Duration 15:53

During an intense group workout at Red Rocks Amphitheater last week I realized the power of coaching and community. I know without a doubt that if I had been there on my own, I would have given up much sooner, and wouldn't have worked as hard.

Included in today's episode are the insights I recorded on the drive home from the Red Rocks workout. The recording quality during these parts is subpar, but the energy level was high!

Some key benefits of coaching and being part of a group include:

investment (I'm committed to the work because I invested $)
accountability (showing up)
consistency (improving by regularly doing the work)
comparison (motivating, but also need to focus on ourselves)
leadership (an expert guide)
community (encouragement from others)

While my insights were gained during a group fitness class, they apply to career and job search coaching as well. If you're in a job search and want the benefits of coaching, let's chat! As of July 24th, I have 3 openings for 1:1 coaching beginning in August. Here's a LINK to schedule a discovery call.

35. Beating Imposter Syndrome - Lessons From Motherhood

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 • Duration 10:41

This week's episode of Her Next Chapters tackles the ever-present imposter syndrome that plagues many moms. Host Christina Kohl shares her own experience of feeling completely unqualified as a parent when bringing her newborn home from the hospital.

The episode explores the concept of imposter syndrome and how it manifests in motherhood, despite the lack of formal training. From figuring out breastfeeding to navigating potty training and teenage years, moms are constantly in "learn on the job" mode.

However, this constant challenge results in incredible skills. The episode highlights the valuable transferable skills developed through motherhood:

Problem-solving
Adaptability
Creative solutions
Resilience
Resourcefulness
Decision-making
Time management

The message is empowering: Moms who feel like imposters in other areas of life should remember their journey in motherhood. They've faced countless challenges with no training, yet figured it out. These skills are a superpower to be harnessed and applied to any future endeavor.

The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to recognize their growth as moms and to leverage their "improviser muscles" to conquer any new challenge that comes their way.
