45:21

We're back! Season 2 starting off talking about something I've encountered in every job I've had. I've perpetuated it, I've been a victim of it, I've witnessed it. But yet, we never talk about it. Today we dive deep into female competition in the workplace. From subtle micro-aggressions to internal battles, we explore why women often find themselve…

Romanticizing your corporate life (and a lil announcement) 48:41

2y ago48:41

48:41

First, a little announcement: your girl is headed back to corporate life As I prepare to go back, I want to be really intentional about holding this peace and space that I've created during my sabbatical. Most of my corporate days can follow a pretty repeatable structure so they can become a little monotone - I can easily slip into auto-pilot. Anyt…

Readiness is a myth and some thoughts on imposter syndrome 40:39

2y ago40:39

40:39

Looking back, I don't think I've ever been "ready" for anything in my career. What does ready even mean? So often, this idea of ready holds us back and makes us think that if we just do XYZ, then we'll ask for the promotion or then we'll ask for a raise or then we'll raise our hand for the next big project. What if you are ready right now? What if …

Dealing with rejection and the dreaded job hunt 44:16

44:16

Why didn’t any of you tell me how brutal the job market is right now?!? In this episode, we’re talking about rejection.

Am I going back to corporate life (?) and other time off ramblings 43:40

Short answer, yes, ha. I go through my thought process of whether to make crocheted bags and pick up a couple of shifts at Trader Joe's vs. going back to corporate life. I also share some of the best lessons I've learned during the break, including the importance of regulating our nervous systems, practicing contentedness versus the need for more, …

The art of trying and overcoming fear of failure | with Kortney Osborne 1:08:20

2+ y ago1:08:20

1:08:20

Welcome to the first official guest episode where I interview Kortney Osborne (full disclosure she's my best friend). We've had oddly parallel career paths all culminating in the fancy tip top executive position and we both—about a year apart—had to separate who we are and what we do. We talk about switching from "this is what I do" to "this is wha…

Let's talk about money: asking for a raise, negotiating your salary 57:22

2+ y ago57:22

57:22

Money doesn’t have to be weird or awkward—it’s a normal thing. Isn’t that we’re all doing?? We’re working to get paid. None of us are working just because we altruistically love the company mission and getting paid is a bonus. And that does not make you greedy. It can be an and conversation. It can be both. It can be that you care about the company…

Navigating changes in your career - to stay or leave? 53:26

2+ y ago53:26

53:26

Reflecting on my career now, I realize that none of my steps and career changes were perfectly planned out, none were super intentional beyond wanting to make more money - and none were completely life-altering that set me on a completely different course. But yet I still have stress sweated my way through frantically calling everyone in my contact…

How anxiety plays out in your career 1:07:27

2+ y ago1:07:27

1:07:27

I have a complicated relationship with my anxiety. Anxiety has pushed me and has gotten me far in life. Moderate anxiety has kept me on my toes, driven me to tend to the things that I care about, and nudged me toward my best self. But anxiety plays dirty — oh it plays dirty. Anxiety has also driven me to take on more than I can handle, to dress reh…

The tea behind corporate speak 41:56

2+ y ago41:56

41:56

Reorgs, "let's take this offline", Year of Transformation, executive departures, new CFO? There is definitely tea behind the "so and so is leaving the company to focus on family". Why do companies speak the way they do? Corporate speak is this weirdly formal language, ridiculous amount of buzzwords, and a focus on spinning positive messaging—all to…

Nepotism, favoritism, and unspoken fraternities 42:17

2+ y ago42:17

42:17

Do you ever get this feeling of not getting a shot because of who you are or who you are not, or whether or not you’re in the “in crowd”? Corporate life is often just a clique game where there are “in crowds” and favorites and social hierarchy. There is nepotism, there are groups that spend more time together because of their similarities, their sa…

Combatting labels in the workplace 32:38

2+ y ago32:38

32:38

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been called “organized” in my career, I would def own a boat by now. But you know what? It’s never felt like a compliment. We use labels in work for many reasons: to get an upper hand on someone, to put that person down or on a lower playing field (again power dynamics), to put someone in a box that we feel mor…

Dealing with toxic leadership 55:30

2+ y ago55:30

55:30

Chances are, you have encountered or will encounter toxic leadership in your career. If you're experiencing this, let me remind you: you are not crazy. Toxic leadership isn’t benign and you aren't just “overreacting" or "being too sensitive”. Toxic leadership creates environments of fear and low morale and that is traumatic. Spending 40+ hours in a…

How many companies do you come across that claim "we're making the world a better place" or "we take care of xyz so you can focus on what matters in life"? It’s also a question almost all of us are asked in the interview process “why do you want to work for xyz company” and this is usually a test on whether you’ve done your research by looking up t…

Month of appreciation | April 42:57

My career gave (gives) me many things, chief among them: money. Money to improve my life satisfaction.

ChatGPT says I might be going through a "millennial mid life crisis". The biggest question on my mind has been if and when I'm going back into corporate life. For right now, it's been a problem for future Jen, but as I've been thinking about how I want to show up for my hypothetical new corporate life era, I've been reflecting on the things I would…
