Episode 3 - Courage

02/06/22 • 18 min

We are back with Episode 3 this week, and I am talking about Courage (and fear), and Confidence.

in episode 1, I talked about having the courage to write your own story. It is very easy to say; just Google ‘courage and confidence’, and you will find more memes on this topic than you can count! It is often not as easy to put into practice.

In this episode I break down how I have built my confidence in the workplace in certain circumstances through big and small acts of courage, and I share the 2 questions that I always ask myself when in a situation that requires me to act courageously.

Episode 2 - Not Doing It All

We are back with Episode 2 this week. If you listened to Episode 1, we talked a lot about having the courage to follow your own path, and write your own story.

To allow yourself the space to do this takes energy and prioritization. So this week we are talking about “The Power of not doing it all”. I share what this has looked like for me at work and at home, talk about burnout and my personal journey and learnings through it, and then finish by talking about the WonderWoman cape that so many of us wear as we juggle ‘it all’.

Episode 4 - International Relocation

We are back with Episode 4 this week, and this week I am talking about International Relocation as a Family of 5.
This week we pull the curtain back on what an International Relocation looks like, and the lessons we learned moving from Canada to Belgium right before the global pandemic.
We have been asked ‘was it worth it’, and ‘would you do it again’ many times, particularly in the setting of relocating just 2 months before the pandemic, and we can confidently answer ‘absolutely yes’ to both of those questions, even though it has not always been easy.
There are topics I didn’t touch upon this time, as they are and should be very personal decisions, such as how we chose the school for our kids, and where we chose to live. If you are interested in these topics though, and particularly if you find yourself moving to the Brussels area, I would be more than happy to answer your questions one-on-one.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to share how you are enjoying the podcast. I continue to be touched by your messages of support, and I thoroughly enjoy what you are taking from it.
