About this episode
Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to love what you do, if it’s possible to feel fulfilled and fully alive about your career or are you destined to the mundane feeling days and weeks filled with feeling like it’s another day where you’re going through the motions, attending to and doing what you have to, looking forward to the segments of day where you can do what you truly want to in the evenings, weekends and vacations? Over the years I too have struggled with going in and out of believing if it’s truly possible to have a job and career where you feel excited and energized instead of dreading and suffering through the workdays. Am I just a naive dreamer or can I truly create and have it? I saw my mom working long hours, very hard, not really having any time for herself, sacrificing for her children, sacrificing her health, and at the end not earning very much money and I always wished she had an easier life. The idea about you being able to custom design your own career and day to day, like a designer or an architect came through my own journey, especially times where I felt like my own career life was feeling blah, like I was going through motions and it was feeling like I was living in black and white movie instead of a vibrant, technicolor world that my heart and soul so longed for. This is what sparked the idea to share the practices and ideas that I found most useful and transformational so you can try and apply some of them to infuse more spark in your day to day and end up custom designing your way towards looking forward to Mondays! We spend estimated 2000 hours every year (maybe a little more or less depending on how many hours a week you work), a third of your time from the 24 hours you’re given every day, and realistically , close to half or more than half of you waking hours 5 days a week working! So how can you make them more aligned with what your heart and soul are desiring to do and feel like to fully express your gifts and talents and shine your light? And it doesn’t have to be perfect, but when you do, you’re serving as a powerful example, a powerful role model for other women around you and most importantly I believe your children to show what’s possible. It’s not necessarily what you say, what school teaches or the question “Who do you want to be when you grow up” that will teach them what’s possible, it’ll be the way you live, what they observe, the energy you bring and what you model on day to day basis that they will absorb and soak up the most. This is what helps me in days where showing up for myself isn’t enough and I need a more powerful motivator. When I think about this impacting my child and family members, other girls and women, it’s like having that extra motivation, extra kick that I need to keep going and keep breaking out some of the human and my own aspects of conditioning, limited beliefs and fears! Every career journey is as unique as a fingerprint, so anything really is possible and I want you to feel empowered in custom designing your own career and success on your terms while getting to know you better through the prompts and exercises I'll share in this season's mini episodes. What I’ve found is that at the essence of being able to create a life of your dreams you have to believe it’s possible, so let’s go and dream it up!
