Ep1: Premier Episode - Your New Career Mindset

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Welcome to the Premier Episode of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook! I am SO excited you are here! Are you ready to start your journey? I couldn’t feel happier for you! In fact, excitement and anticipation for my clients as they begin their journey is one of my favorite things about coaching. Seeing them achieve their goals is even better! And THAT is the very first step in making sure that you not only learn these insider secrets so you can have a fabulous career, but so that you can also feel confident in implementing these new tools/strategies, both at the office and in your personal life.

As we begin to take your first step, let’s start with the power of perception, and in particular, how the WAY we see our job often leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, you get what you focus on. If you’re miserable at your job, you will hate it, and if you love what you do, then “you will never work a day in your life,” as they say. Why is that such a popular concept? Because if you really love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work at all, and as a result, you’ll see it as your dream job. The research not ONLY backs this up, but I have seen this play out time and time again for myself, my staff, and my clients.

Did you know that according to a recent survey, only 25% of people believe they are currently in their dream job? Adding to that, 76% of professionals are feeling undervalued and are looking for other jobs AND more than 50% are feeling burned out on a daily basis. So, can you now see the rare gift that loving what you do for a living really is? Talk about a real blessing, right? And, in turn, your loved ones are going to be happier because they know that if you’re a happy camper at work, you’re going to be happier at home too…and if you’re a mother like me, then you ALSO know, “if momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!”

So, the very first step we will take in creating healthy boundaries for ourselves is by making sure that our mindset is in check (which is another reason that we worked on mindset first). We will accomplish this mindset check with this one simple question: Do I believe that self-care is self-ish? The reason that THIS question is so important is because if one of your underlying core beliefs is that taking care of yourself is a selfish pursuit, then you’re going to be automatically blocked when it comes to creating healthy boundaries for yourself. Instead, remember this one simple truth: self-care = self-love, and that is what healthy boundaries are really all about.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what we will be talking about today, so come join us for this exciting first episode!
