In this week’s episode of Surviving to Thriving, I’m addressing the five biggest mistakes I see on people’s resumés—and trust me, these are mistakes you don’t want to make if you’re serious about landing your next opportunity and they are easy fixes!

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  1. Formatting Flaws: Why first impressions matter and how poor formatting can cost you the job before they even read your qualifications.
  2. Lack of Direction: How your resumé might be missing a clear narrative and failing to communicate your career goals.
  3. Missing Company Overviews: Why including a brief description of your previous employers can give crucial context to your experience.
  4. Weak Bullet Points: The importance of impactful, results-driven bullet points to showcase your achievements.
  5. Ageism Concerns: How to limit your exposure to ageism and position yourself in the best possible light.

If you're tired of sending out resumé after resumé and not hearing back, this episode is for you. Fix these common mistakes and you’ll finally start getting the attention you deserve.
You want to be noticed, don't you!?!

"The delights of self-discovery are always available." --Gail Sheehy
Do you have a propensity for rest while you watch everyone race around you?
Do you have more ideas then you know what to with them?
Do you every feel out of alignment...with everything and everyone?
In my ongoing exploration into my own self discovery, I stumbled upon Human Design and was so floored with the information that I learned, that I had to invite Heather Vickery onto the podcast to talk all things Human Design. And believe me, there is a lot!
Human Design is a psychological concept and system of self-discovery that combines ancient and modern sciences to create a unique energetic blueprint for each person. The blueprint, or "design", is decoded using a person's birth data and can be represented by a complex diagram called a Human Design chart.
Human design combines astrology, I Ching, and the Chakras...so if you like all things woo and are open to learning more about YOU, then this is the episode for you!

Heather's Bio:
Heather Vickery is an achiever of unrealistic dreams. The transformational success coach and celebrated public speaker leverages over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience to help her clients master the “Trifecta of Self” knowing, liking and trusting themselves so they can elevate, expand, and grow. Through this process, clients learn to authentically like and trust themselves, leading to inspired, authentic action in both personal and professional realms. As an accomplished author, Broadway producer, and podcast host, Heather's work resonates globally, promoting everyday bravery and self-empowerment. She’s the co-host of Was it Chance? The podcast about taking intentional risk for creative success. And best-selling author of F*CK FEARLESS: Making The Brave Leap.

Join us as we explore:

  • The different energy types within Human Design and their attributes: Manifesters, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors and Reflectors.
  • How to leverage your human design to level up and thrive in your life.

You're ready to level up and find your alignment, aren't you?

"It's a happy talent to know how to play." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Step One: Join my free Daily Practice Community! http://adailypractice.mn.co
Step Two: Follow me on Instagram, Facebook and/or Linked In.
One of the simplest ways to connect to ourselves and to others is through play. Play allows us to have a heart, hand and mind connection. It brings out the joy. It gives us a platform for conversation. It brings us together. Play can be adventure, games, baking, creating, getting messy, and more. There is no right way to do it. It's just about perfect. That's what I talk about in this week's episode. Using play to connect!
Here is the link to the Yale course on happiness I talk about.
Are you living your life by design? One that has all the pieces in place...allowing you to work within your purpose, have the time and energy YOU need to focus on yourself?
Or are you delaying creating it until the perfect time? Or feel that it’s selfish to live that life as a mom? I would love for you to take 1 minute right now and book your complementary 30 minute Priorities Power Session where we will quickly get to what matters most and create a bite sized implementation plan to get there. No obligation. No strings attached.

Give yourself the gift of 30 minutes. You are so worth it.

To learn more about me, and how we could work together, visit my website at http://www.jennessadurrani.com and my Daily Practice Community.
And of course...I would love for you to subscribe to the podcast!

Doing less is often harder than doing more.
Do you see the holidays fast approaching and start to hyperventilate? Are you exhausted just thinking about all the "extra" that is the holiday season? We have conditioned ourselves to believing that if we are not exhausted, overdrawn, overextended, and going out of our minds to make everything PERFECT, then we are failing as a mom.
STOP! The answer to having a memorable holiday season of more hugs, more smiles, more memories, and more gratitude, is to do less. Yes...less.
If you can't even imagine a restful holiday, then this is the episode for you.

Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I share a simple exercise to reevaluate your family holiday traditions and "right size" them to what matters most to you and those you love:

  • We will start by looking at holidays of the past and where they went awry
  • We will inventory all that goes into your holidays
  • We will find you why
  • And then we will conceive of a new way of doing each aspect that requires less time, but results in more of what matters!

Gone are the days of more is more is more for the holidays. What our families want is more of US. More of our time, attention and presence, not presents. So listen in to see how you can deliver!

What to listen to next:
Episode 49: MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS: Leaning Into What Matters Most During the Holidays
Episode 46: EXPECTATIONS: The Joy Killer of the Holidays
Episode 6: FAMILY FIRST: How Putting Family First is Sucking Us Dry

"If you listen to your body when it whispers, you don't have to listen to it when it screams."
I don't know about you, but I can't open Instagram, Facebook, or my newsfeed without seeing the word SOMATIC. There is somatic yoga, somatic workouts, somatic therapy, etc. So when I met Sara Vatore, a somatic and peak performance coach, last fall I knew I needed to have her on the podcast.
As it turns out, SOMA means the body and these "new to me" modalities are all about getting in tune with our bodies so that we can heal--emotionally, spiritually and physically. I don't know about you, but I spend WAY much time thinking about my body and all of its flaws, but I very little time on actually listening to her.
In this episode we dig into powerful, but simple ways, to get in tune with our bodies and all that's possible in the way of health, wellness, and healing when we are in alignment. Sara shared so many actionable tidbits! We actually spoke for an hour, but we lost the last 20 minutes, so if we stop short, you know why!

Sara's Bio:
Sara Vatore (Vator-EE), is the owner of Somasynthesis Studios, where she creates spaces for healing, integration and expansion to cultivate wellness, vitality, thriving and wholeness across all layers of being. Through 1-1 Somatic and Peak Performance Coaching, hands-on-healing, Somatic Integration Sessions, nervous system nourishment retreats and group workshops, and more, Sara supports leaders, entrepreneurs, and busy humans to expand their capacity to be in the flow of life and business with more ease without overwhelm or burnout to access their potential. Sara lives in Belchertown, Massachusetts with her husband and 2 boys.

Join us as we explore:

  • The three basic bodily needs that we ignore and need to start paying attention to.
  • A simple and powerful way to stay in constant connection to our needs throughout the day.
  • Burnout...what it is, what we need to look for, and how we can prevent it.

If you struggle with your body, your health, your energy, and/or struggle with pain, then please take the 35 minutes to listen to this powerful episode.
You're ready to become one with your body and start healing, aren't you?

"Words and images do not describe our reality, they define it."
Do you find yourself feeling like nothing is going right? Life intervenes at every turn? We've been conditioned for years to be in busy mode. Making sure everyone is cared for. Every fire is put out. Every whim is attended to. We have been in effect of everyone and everything while we use busy as a badge of honor.
I've recently begun a new certification program that is all based on Neuro Linguistic Programming which is like the lost user manual for our brains. And one of the first techniques I have learned is a powerful empowerment formula C > E, or Cause is greater than Effect and I want to lay it all out for you as it's a game changer to get us to finally break busy.
In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, we talk about:

  • How to shift our mindset to see all that is happening in our lives as a result of the many decisions we've made in our life--or being at cause.
  • The benefits of staying in cause and no longer falling prey to the effect of others.
  • The difference between being at cause and being to blame for everything in our lives.

If you are you ready, willing, and able to play at 100% to create your desired result and to focus on what you want, then this is the episode for you!

"Don't let your mind bully your body." --June Tomaso Wood
Is your life on hold until you can lose those last pounds? Are you still pining for the body you used to have? Are you constantly on the search for the solution to your weight loss woes? Can you rattle off the macros, points, and calories of every food under the sun, but still struggle?
You are not alone my friend.
Diet culture has stolen our agency and our ability to make sound decisions that are in alignment with what WE need to live a fully vibrant and energetic life. And if you have had enough and are ready to take back your life, your health, and your agency, then you are going to love this discussion with trainer and wellness coach Kim Barnes Jefferson of Fit Girl Magic.

Kim's Bio:
Kim Barnes Jefferson is the host of the Fit Girl Magic podcast and the creator of the Belly Fat Code. She specializes in helping women over 40 kick menopause’s ass. She says, if you feel like your body gave you the finger and left you with a body you don't even recognize anymore...she’s got you. Her coaching comes with a side of real talk so that you are not left spinning your wheels. And by the time her clients are done working with her, they realize that it’s their strong habits that have led them to create repeatable routines that have ultimately given them the results that they have been seeking.

Join us as we explore:

  • How we've ignored our bodies for years as we've obsessed over our weight.
  • Simple strategies to find your own non negotiables that will help you incrementally get to your goals.
  • The impactful part daily routines has on your success, vibrancy, and energy. As Kim says, "How you get to your goals is how you will keep your goals." Slow and steady my friends.
