This week I’m joined by the incredible writer, speaker and community builder Emilie Wapnick! Some of you may be familiar with Emilie because of her TedxBend talk called ‘Why Some of us don’t have one true calling’ where she coined the phrase ‘multipotentialite’. The talk that landed on the front page of Ted.com and has over 4.6 million views to date. Emilie is the founder of puttylike.com which she describes as ‘The home for multipotentialites’.
She is also the author of the incredible book ‘How to be Everything- a guide for those that still don’t know who they want to be’ and in today’s episode we discuss why and how you can be everything if that’s your calling. How you can change your language and those of your peers so that you can be free to follow the path or paths that you wish to pursue. We also talk about role models and why you need to surround yourself with multipotentialites.

In today’s episode, Ruby and I discuss Chhaupadi a practice in Nepal that exiled women to period huts when they were on their periods.

India is incredibly high-achieving, professing that she did not take a break from full-time education until she decided to enter the Miss India America pageant. We talk about the stigma around pageants and the brains vs. beauty argument that comes up time and time again. What stuck out about my conversation India is how important her faith is to her. She is a practising Hindu and has credited the religion (and Sathya Sai Baba Bal Vikas Education) with instilling her core values. As you'll hear, India has made some bold moves in her life and her career in order to get to where she wants to be. She shares how she developed her strong sense of self and how she is able to remove herself from uncomfortable situations.
Key takeaways:
- How to remain authentic under intense pressure.
- The importance of finding friends with good motives and ambitions.
- Utilising your faith and spirituality in your career.
- Designing a successful career path (or is it just a series of accidents?).
- How to overcome your insecurities to become who you wanna be.

It's Self-Care Awareness Week (13th-19th Nov) and this week I'm joined by the Founder of The World of Self-Care, Georgia Dodsworth. In this week's episodes Georgia shares her journey with Borderline Personality Disorder and becoming a successful freelancer while still at university studying Performance and Creative Enterprise.
In this episode we talk about how Georgia set up her daily routine and became so disciplined. Georgia is extremely well organised when it comes to planning her days and she explains how this discipline has helped her BPD. We talk about knowing your worth and how much value you can add. More importantly the power of saying 'No' to opportunities and the mental checklist that she does before deciding that a project is worth her time. Georgia's checklist:
1. What is the project.
2. Do I know the company or brand? What are her views of that brand.
3. How much times is the project going to take out of her day/week?
4. Is the job paid or not?
5. Can she add value to the project?
Georgia's routine includes:
Using a Lumie light alarm.
Writing Morning pages to get all her thoughts out on paper at least 3 times per week.
Creating a to do list/ plan for her day.
Applying makeup to feel ready.
Not working in bed.
