Modern Women and the Balancing Act - with Adele Barlow

11/29/21 • 44 min

1 Listener

Adele Barlow is the founder of Copy & Co, a boutique copywriting agency and the author of a number of books on finding purposeful work. Her latest book, ‘Modern Woman’ is a collection of essays on the balancing act modern millennial women perform every day.
As Adele writes: “the ideal worker is available 24/7, but so is the ideal mother. Millennial women have been told to dream big, but in reality, there not only remains a glass ceiling, but also a glass wall and a glass cliff”.

We talk about why millennial women feel like they are never "getting it right", whether it is possible to “have it all” and if so, at what cost?

Why Are We So Anxious? With Agi Heale

Agi is the author of ‘Generation Panic’, an extremely helpful and relatable guide to managing anxiety for those within 'Generation Panic' (or GP'ers as she calls them) - who Agi describes as "strong, brilliant, ambitious people, but they often have a big dollop of insecurity that makes them wobble at certain moments of their lives."

Agi left a career in financial services recruitment after she started having panic attacks. At first she thought she just had too much on her plate – work was fast paced and she was planning her wedding. But upon returning to work after her honeymoon, those feelings hadn’t changed. So she set off to figure out what would truly make her happy and found her purpose in coaching and by writing ‘Generation Panic’. Agi is now a certified professional coach (CPCC & PCC qualified and a Certified NLP Practitioner) and the founder of Westbourne Associates.
