Meant for More

 
 

There’s more to life than your job. It’s something people say, but don’t really internalize until tragedy or crisis strikes. What if we could reach that realization, sans crisis? Jen’s on a mission to get women off the hamster wheel and into a life that lights their soul.

Jen Silbert is sharing her wisdom as a life coach, confidence coach and all around adventure seeking bad ass. It was a lot of fun to hear the back story of my internet friend and her army counter intelligence that I had no clue about. Some of the highlights from this episode are:

  • CELEBRATE! We get so busy always thinking about what’s next that we forget to pause and celebrate how far we’ve come. Challenge yourself to celebrate the wins, big and small!

  • Notice your conditioning. As a woman in corporate you can end up making reflexive micro adjustments to your authentic self without even noticing. Whether it’s the change in your voice, your choice of clothing, or the way you respond in meetings - it’s important to look at these things with curiosity.

  • Eff all the labels. You will always be too much for some people and not enough for others. So here’s your permission slip to be 100% you and let people have their opinions. People are going to think and believe what they want and that is just fine.

  • Just show up and do the best you can. As long as you’re living life with that kind of integrity you can disregard the people that are there to try to undermine you. Things may not go exactly how you’d like them but you’ll know you’ve done your best.

  • Know your worth and don’t underestimate yourself. This is about more than money, how are you being treated in your work and other relationships…is it worth it? Knowing your worth and recognizing where there’s an imbalance can lead to big change.

  • There’s more to life than your job. There’s life to live, places to see and so much more to who you are than your career. Kudos to those that can learn to step off the hamster wheel and start living intentionally. Unfortunately, it usually takes a crisis for people to wake up to what they really want.

  • Up stream or down stream? When you’re paddling up stream, fighting against your nature, it takes a lot of energy. What happens if you reevaluate and make changes that allow you to live in that down stream, effortless flow more of the time?

  • Give yourself a gap year. If you can, take some time to figure out what YOU like to do. If you were to drop the ego and perceived expectations, what would you want to do or explore? It takes time to reconnect with yourself and figure this stuff out.

  • Different coach for different folks. There are all kinds of mentors and coaches out there. Remember that you get to seek out the kind of coach that works for you and your needs.
