118 - How to Turn People-Pleasing Into a Superpower
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
In this episode, I talk about how to turn your people-pleasing tendencies into a superpower!
You often hear how people-pleasing is not a good thing.

114. Comparison Can Be A Good Thing. Here’s How.
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
We usually hear how comparison is not a good thing, especially in the age of social media where this is rampant. But I say comparison is a good thing and I talk about how to use comparison to help you achieve your dreams and goals in this week’s podcast episode.
It’s such a simple concept that we learned as kids in school, but we’ve lost our ability to use comparison for its intended purpose when we grew up. Comparisons help us gain clarity, focus and open up more options to the problems and challenges we’re going through.
Listen now to go back to basics and use comparison to help you rather than paralyze you from taking the actions needed to make all your dreams come true!
If you want to learn how to use comparison to help you achieve your goals, I’d like to invite you to join my Meetup group for women where we meet each week to go through this demo LIVE so you can experience it first hand for yourself. Sign up at https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/meetup. I look forward to seeing you then!

101. How to Be Unfirable
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
This week’s episode was inspired by the common fear many of us in corporate #jobs may have - how to have job security in our uncertain world.
It’s one of those things we accept when we step into a #corporate job.
There isn't any guarantee you’ll keep your #job forever, no matter how hard you work.
I share the common misconception many people have about the reasons you get fired or let go from a job.
And what you can do to make sure you become unfirable.

100. To be Exceptional, Be Unafraid of Being Different
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
This phrase ‘be different’ kept coming back to me over the past 2 weeks.
Perhaps it was F1 fever...
I’ve been noticing the recurring theme about how different people at the top of their game are.
How unafraid of being different they are.
Being different is tough. It’s scary. It can feel lonely. But it’s what’s needed to be exceptional.
People who are exceptional at what they do aren’t like everyone else. That’s why they’re exceptional. And being exceptional requires you to be different.
I talk more about this idea about being different and how we can be exceptionally different in this week’s podcast episode. Listen here: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/100

88. How to Leave the Job You Hate and Make a Living Doing What You Love With Nathania Stambouli
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
I interviewed Nathania Stambouli on this week’s podcast episode.
Nathania Stambouli, founder and creator of Yogi Flight School and SoulTribe Adventures is a 500 E-RYT Yoga Teacher and Transformational Coach. She teaches people from around the world how to defy their perceived limitations and fly - on their hands and in their lives. She is a cat lady, lover of iced coffee and lives to lead people towards the most free and expressed version of who they are.
We talked about how Nathania quit her comfortable corporate job that she hated and what it was like for her to step out and finally do the work that she loves and the safety nets she put in place so she could get past the psychological barriers that made it scary for her to do this earlier.
Nathania’s story is going to resonate with those of you who know you’re meant for something more, but feel afraid of leaving your current comfort zone. I love it that Nathania helps you overcome your mindset barriers through such a physical activity like yoga. You literally see in real time how what you once thought impossible is possible once you get out of your own way and see things from a different perspective!

81. 4 Steps to Tap Into Your Feminine Energy (Steps 3 of 4)
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
Today’s episode is step 3 of the 4 steps to tap into your feminine energy.
This step is all about ‘knowing’.
I share the different levels of knowing. There’s the ‘knowing’ where we amass information and head knowledge.
Then there’s a ‘knowing’ that’s what we feel certain about. Like the wind, or gravity, which we can’t see or touch, but we know it’s there because we feel it.
Listen to this episode to find out more about tapping into this deeper level of ‘knowing’ to help you get the results you want.

73. Getting over Perfectionism & Doing the Practical Thing with Shelby Abrahamsen
Building a Business While Employed And Raising Kids
If you’re one of those people who feels like you need to get everything perfect before you put your stuff out there, this episode is for you!
My guest this week is Shelby, a full-time artist and online content creator of Little Coffee Fox, and an online art education platform called Foxsy.
She loves watercolors, digital art, lettering, and tons of other artistic mediums, and helping people discover the power of creativity and how transformative it can be.
Shelby strives to help her students get in touch with art again and she’s definitely helped me rediscover my creative side that I abandoned since I was a kid because I thought I was ‘bad’ at art and it was a waste of time and money.
We talk about Shelby’s own journey from her very practical decision to study human factors psychology and her unexpected journey into the world of art as her career.
The bottomline is that sometimes doing something you love and turning it into your career involves lots of trial and error that’s not always neat, tidy and perfect. I love Shelby’s guiding motto of ‘done not perfect’. This is how she’s built a business that both she and her husband run full-time. Shelby is an inspiration of what’s possible when you give yourself permission to play and do the apparent ‘impractical thing’!
