And here’s the thing… maybe it’s all linked to the weather, the moon cycles and your monthly cycle!?!!
Let’s break that all down and simplify it.
This is part 2 of our podcast taping in front of a live studio audience at our launch party. This time, the spotlight is on Amy Phipps of Women Who Create UK.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How we can thrive in each season we face in our careers
- Why it’s so important to give yourself permission to evolve and what that (practically) looks like
- Simple ways on how to cope when the weather is grey, dark…and let’s face it, MISERABLE outside
- What is “Hygge?” (pronounced like “cougar”) Well, it’s the “Scandinavian trend of Coziness” and we talk about it… huh, who knew?
- The importance of having your own cheering squad
My challenge for you this week:
If you work in a co-working space, I challenge you to make eye contact and say hello to one new person a day, when you go to make your cups of tea. Reach out and make a concerted effort to acknowledge the people around you. This is what builds community over time.
