Show notes

Welcome to the show! Today is my favorite kind of interview: long, honest, winding, and a little bit of an escape from the real world. I had so much fun chatting with executive coach, Rayla Bailey, on what it means not only to lead with confidence, but to create joy and fulfillment in one’s life.

We cover so much in this episode – some things you’ll hear us talk about are:

-Mindset

-Being a private/sensitive person

-Building trust with yourself

-Leading

-Separating from the need for external validation

-Chasing joy and playfulness

-The importance of rest

-The pressure to change your physical appearance at work

Rayla was a delight to have on the show, and if you’re wanting to learn more about her, you can check out her website at: https://www.raylabailey.com/

108 | Becoming the strongest most confident version of you - no matter your struggles Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to another solo episode! Today, I’m talking about how you can take control of your professional trajectory & pave the way for a career path that is truly remarkable.

I think that women in the corporate & professional world deserve best-in-class career development advice. That’s really what was missing for me in my career, and was why I started this show.

As women – we need career guidance that is truly inspirational and allows us to tap into the strongest, most powerful version of ourselves. And that is exactly what this episode is designed to do.

Listen in and I’ll guide you through a way of thinking that will make 2021 (or any year!) the year you show up DIFFERENTLY.

Because when you show up differently, the world responds differently.

And that is when things REALLY start to take off.

I can’t wait for you to listen in.

This conversation is magical and wonderful. Today’s guest Hamidah is a seasoned professional in the finance industry, and the wisdom that she shares in this conversation gave me chills!
