50m · The Psychology of your 20s · 20 Feb 00:23

Our 20s are one of the best times for us to change careers. Perhaps you're feeling burntout, bored, unmotivated, craving something bigger, something with purpose or better hours, a change from the life and job you currently have. In this episode we break down how we can change careers in our 20s, some of the challenges, how to manage the financial insecurity, the signs your old job is not right for you and discovering your true mission and purpose and life (even if it doesn't always revolve around your job and a pay check).

We are joined by the founder and CEO of The Career Contessa, host of the hit podcast and author, Lauren Goodwin who shares her years worth of advice and best tips.

198. The psychology of ‘mommy issues’ and mother wounds

Our mother wounds represent the unprocessed trauma and insecurities we pick up from the dynamic we each have with the women who raise us and shape us. In today's episode we break down the psychology of our mother wounds including their origin, their impact and their manifestation, from our body confidence to our competition with other women, our ability to trust and connect, our fear of disapproval and chronic people pleasing.

We also explore ways to heal this wound, both in collaboration with our mother and on our own. Listen now for more!

We often think the secret to not being passive in our lives is to fill up our days, set countless goals, always be striving for progress and productivity.

  • What it beens to be passive vs. active vs. intentional
  • How to create momentum

196. My toxic relationship with productivity

In today's episode we're going old school, back to a good old fashioned chatty sit down episode and life update. I have been recovering from a pretty terrible bout of tonsilitis and it's made me realise...I have a toxic relationship with productivity. Even when I'm sick I can't slow down, and I don't think I'm alone.

We also discuss how I'm finding living alone, a little relationship update and how it feels to have finished my book! All that and more, listen now!
