the age of forty. Seven SO, i you, KNOW i
66
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.199
got out of university and started my career in the
67
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.759
corporate world and did very well and went up through
68
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.000
the corporate, ranks up to a level WHERE i was
69
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.439
ahead of marketing.
70
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.120
For a very large.
71
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.120
Corporation BUT i was managing two different departments at the same.
72
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.839
Time you, KNOW i had over twenty people under.
73
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.279
Me AND i was managing multiple budget and at the same,
74
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.240
TIME i had gone through a divorce AND i was
75
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.199
a single mom with two teenage.
76
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.279
Daughters you, know often that comes with a few.
77
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.560
Challenges and then on top of, that at, WORK i
78
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.759
had a boss or a supervisor.
79
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.079
That was a. Bully so everything just added.
80
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.600
Up and at some POINT i reached my breaking point
81
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:49.879
and my doctor diagnosed me with a. Burnout and when that,
82
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.000
HAPPENED i JUST i, realized you, KNOW i was fully.
83
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.360
AWAKENED i, said you, know my life should not be
84
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.360
measured based on the number of, emails the number of
85
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.240
MEETINGS i have.
86
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.480
Today it should be it should have a bigger.
87
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.399
Purpose so WHEN i went on my sick, LEAVE i
88
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.600
then made that brave decision to not go back to that,
89
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.959
company and since my, HEALING i completely reinvented.
90
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.160

launched this week coaching business to really help women step
94
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.920
into their power and their their.
95
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.959
Purpose And i'm also doing some speaking.
96
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.480
Engagements So i'm really excited about the future because my,
97
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.079
purpose similar to, years is now to positively impact the
98
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.800
lives of over a million.
99
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.680
People And i'm going to do this one at a.
100
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.279
Time but you, KNOW i KNOW i. CAN i can achieve,
101
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.639
this And i'm super excited about doing it.
102
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.319
ABSOLUTELY i tell you.
103
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.040
What you, know like you, said being burnt out at
104
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.720
that age forty, seven that's that's you, know you're not
105
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.959
alone in. That that happens a. Lot a lot of
106
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.800
women experience, that AND i think it's probably because, we like,
107
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.720
uh you, know so many other, women we overcompensate sometimes
108
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.240
when we're especially in the. Workforce you, know sometimes you
109
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.199
feel like you have to do, more you, know, uh
110
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.040
to prove that you you can do, it or to
111
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.120
prove that you're capable of doing, it and that that's
112
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.639
sometimes the bad part about a woman a, woman especially
113
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.560
when she's in a leadership, role she's always got to
114
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.160
be on her p's and. Q so you're you're always doing,
115
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.920
this you're doing, that but you also also have to
116
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:59.040
make sure that you know that you got those things
117
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.959
where you know that you're going to be micromanaged or
118
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.279
you know you're going to be watched constantly to, See,
119
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.079
okay we got a woman over, This let's see what
120
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.439
she's doing and how she's doing, it you. Know so
121
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.199
it's a lot of things sometimes that that kind of
122
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.279
contribute to. That and BUT i commend you for walking
123
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.480
away from. IT i really, do because sometimes some women
124
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.639
just stay in it and until it just takes them
125
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.799
completely out and then they're not good for anything after. That,
126
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:38.240
so but tell us what lessons from your burnout do
127
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.639
you find resonate most with the, readers especially of your,
128
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.080
Book Lovely. Succeed the first one would be, to.
129
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.120
You, know realize that you're an unlimited human, being but
130
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.639
at the same time you you are a, woman and
131
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.159
it's okay SOMETIMES i know all, women we all want
132
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.440
to be strong and as you, said achieve a lot of,
133
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.799
things but it's okay to listen to your intuition and
134
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.600
your in your voice and SAY i am, TIRED i am,
135
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.759
unlimited but NOW i am, tired And i'm gonna choose
136
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.000
to love me. First and that's the center message of
137
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.639
love leads. Succeed you can't love others if you don't
138
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.279
love yourself. First and you need to take the steps
139
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.440
to fully love and take care of. Yourself and through
140
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.080
the fifteen chapters in my, BOOK i talk about many
141
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.600

00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:59.360
i talk about this concept of super natural, leadership and
145
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.399
that might st own.
146
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.519
Or but it's supernatural leadership is.

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.000
intelligence the power of, listening the power of feedback sometimes
173
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:51.480
whether it's positive feedback or negative, feedback but delivered in
174
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:56.159
a very respectful way so that the employee can really
175
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.559
rise and learn from the.
176
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:05.759
Experience well, okay, now, also too many women in executive,
177
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:12.120
roles they still shoulder the majority of household. Responsibilities how
178
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.919
did you or how were you able to navigate? That
179
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.000
and what lessons do you share with others that's in similar.
180
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:25.120
Positions, yeah AND i think it's you, know AS i
181
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.200
mentioned at the, BEGINNING i got a, divorced but it
182
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.720
was the case prior to my divorce as.
183
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.360
Well like most, women.
184
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.360
Whether they're in a relationship or, not they do carry
185
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.000
a lot of the responsibilities of you, know whether it's
186
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.039
the work to be done at home or just managing everyone's.
187
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.639
Schedule and for, ME i was traveling, constantly so it
188
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.879
became to be a lot BECAUSE i would get back
189
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.240
from a business trip and just catch up on so
190
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.159
much work at. Home SO i think women need to
191
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.720
really learn again to listen to their inner voice and
192
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.039
don't be afraid to ask for help if they have a,
193
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.039
partner you, KNOW i think we need to have open
194
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.720
communications about and reaching out for, help whether you know
195
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.799
it's mental help or just physical help with task at.
196
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.919
Home AND i know kids can can help, Too so
197
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.440
that that's WHAT i would recommend for all women out,
198
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:29.440
there and take the steps to really take care of
199
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.960
your mental, health whether it's something like a, meditation exercise
200
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:40.120
or you, know positive, affirmations but really love yourself and
201
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.120
take care of yourself.
202
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.240
Now and that brings me to my next, question because
203
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.159
you said the mind is often not kind to, Us
204
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:55.720
so what techniques do you think help people refrain their inner.
205
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.600
Dialogue, yes.
206
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.840
The technique THAT i recommend in my.
207
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.799
Book, first for, me meditation has been a game changer
208
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.519
BECAUSE i think most of us are like.
209
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.919
This but, yeah the noise in my head was just,
210
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.120
constant and as you, said that noise is not kind to.
211
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.799
Anyone SO i would walk into a meeting and then
212
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.240
think someone is judging me OR i said something it was.
213
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.440
Wrong so meditation allows me to really recenter myself and
214
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.000
really clear that noise in my. Head AND i do
215
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.320
it for a good thirty minutes in the, morning but
216
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.960
then throughout the, day WHEN i find myself thinking about negative,
217
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.279
things THEN i just recenter, myself take some deep, breath
218
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.039
and sometimes it's just focusing on an, object whether it's
219
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.919
a cup of tea or.
220
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:51.240
Coffee so that's one of the things THAT i.
221
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.200
Do but another THING i do is really using positive.
222
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:59.159
AFFIRMATION i listen to my positive informations at.
223
00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.720
Night for some.
224
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.399
People it might be a little too, much because you,
225
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.960
KNOW i might prevent them from sleeping or disturbing their.
226
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.080
Partner BUT i like to do it at night because
227
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:13.840
this is when you're, subconscious is really listening and the
228
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.639
other thing.
229
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:20.039
THAT i do to really help me WITH i guess
230
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.720
my mindset is. Gratitude SO i have a beautiful dog in.
231
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.519
The, MORNING i take him for a walk every morning
232
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.559
and THEN i go through the fifty things THAT i am
233
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.039
the most grateful. For and you, know gratitude just brings,
234
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.440
happiness and it's also the ultimate state of receiver. Ship
235
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.600
SO i think gratitude will always help you have a
236
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:47.240
more positive. Mind you, know just try taking a walk
237
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.759
and just saying thank you at every, step and you'll
238
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.639
see you'll start being happy because the word thank you
239
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.240
as a gratitude, word and it just brings you more.
