  • 94. Is Work-Life Balance Your Employer’s Responsibility or Your Own?

    94. Is Work-Life Balance Your Employer’s Responsibility or Your Own?

    · Piloting

    Emma Grede recently had a hot take that work-life balance is not your job’s responsibility. Many people thought it was a controversial opinion, but it made us think. What relationship do we need with work so we can also show up in our lives? That answer looks different for each of us, and at different moments of our lives. We believe our lives and our happiness are our responsibility
but that doesn’t mean employers are fully off the hook.


    In this episode, we chat about:

    - whether you can really balance work-life balance with ambition

    - learning that balance rarely means 50-50

    - moving from an employee mindset to an employer mindset

    - better questions to ask in a job interview to suss out work-life balance

    - & so much more!

  • 93. Book Club: “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins

    93. Book Club: “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins

    · Piloting

    “The Let Them Theory” is the latest bestselling book by Mel Robbins, who is an award-winning podcast host, #1 New York Times bestselling author, and one of the world’s most respected experts in mindset, life improvement, and behavior change. “The Let Them Theory” is a step-by-step guide on how to stop letting other people's opinions, drama, and judgment impact your life. 


    We loved how the theory Mel describes in this book helps you free yourself from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. We’re all control freaks and this book is a great tool for anyone (like us) who’s learning to relinquish that.


    In this episode, we chat about:

    - why “let them” is not letting go

    - pushing past negative opinions and disappointing people

    - overcoming emotional overwhelm

    - using this theory to navigate adult friendships, and support loved ones through change

    - how to be more effective at nagging and influencing others

    - & so much more!


    In Mel’s words, “Let Them is strength. It’s releasing the grip you have on how things should go and allowing them to unfold the way they will go. You’re making an active, empowered choice to release control you never truly had.”

    92. Are You Stuck Trying to be a “Good Girl” as an Adult?

    · Piloting

    This is a spicy one! For many of us who were taught to be “good girls” as children, we grew up learning prioritizing certain values that suppressed a lot of individual expression and experimentation. Now, as adults, we have to unlearn a lot of those habits to find balance and success. It’s a strange trap that many of us get stuck in and this week we’re unpacking that.


    In this episode, we talk about:

    - what it means to be a “good girl” vs. a good person

    - why what we’re rewarded for as girls can hold you back as an adult

    - birth order theory (hugs for other older daughters)

    - being labeled “difficult” and why that’s triggering

    - whether women police each other’s behaviors more than men 

    - & so much more!

    91. Are You Letting the Spotlight Effect Hold You Back?

    · Piloting

    The spotlight effect is a psychological phenomenon where we overestimate how much people are paying attention to us or judging our perceived shortcomings. Basically, it’s the reason we think everyone is obsessed with us, when they usually aren’t. Worse, it’s also preventing a lot of people from getting started on their piloting journeys. 


    This week, we chat about:

    - why you’re probably not the main character in everyone else’s story

    - the problem with letting your ego hold you back (go be cringe!)

    - whether the spotlight effect gets better or worse with age

    - & so much more!

  • 90. Is Consistency Always Better Than Intensity?

    90. Is Consistency Always Better Than Intensity?

    · Piloting

    The common wisdom is that we should always choose consistency over intensity, but is that always the best advice? We value consistency – and both want to work on this personally – but sometimes there are moments or activities that require a more intense approach or sprint to the finish.


    This week, we chat about:

    - how sustainable an intensity-minded approach really is

    - whether people are naturally inclined to be better at consistency or intensity

    - navigating consistency vs. intensity in relationships and teams

    - & many running and fitness metaphors!

    89. Are You Making Progress or Getting Stuck In the Process?

    · Piloting

    Have you ever found yourself busy working on a project but having nothing to show for it at the end of the week? Guilty. Many of us can easily get caught in a loop of systems, checklists, and processes only to realize we’re not actually moving forward. It can be hard to tell when to dedicate more time to planning and setup and when to prioritize doing the work (and refining as you go).


    To figure this out, we discuss:

    - Questions to ask yourself when deciding whether to focus on progress or process

    - When overprocessing is a mask for perfectionism and procrastination

    - The luxury of anonymity and making progress when no one’s watching

    - Using challenges to create momentum and actually get things done

    - & so much more!

    88. How Do You Stay Motivated and Push Through Fatigue?

    · Piloting

    We’ve all hit periods when the honeymoon is over or you’ve hit a plateau and you’re too fatigued to keep the momentum going. It’s a familiar feeling of being tired or lacking motivation—whether it’s a professional or personal pursuit.


    To get out of these ruts, we discuss:

    - recognizing the different types of exhaustion (from overwhelm to boredom)

    - why overindulgence and deprioritizing self-care aren’t a long-term fix

    - tips for redirecting restlessness into something energizing that you can use 

    - knowing when to take a break or push through

    - and whether we prefer to eat the frog or use the snowball method to actually get things done

    · Piloting

    Here we go again! The word on everyone’s lips right now around jobs and money is recession. Whether this is your first recession or you’ve been through this rodeo many times, now is a good time to start thinking about readying your money and reading all the “recession-proof your career” articles.  


    We chat about:

    - not making all decisions from a place of fear 

    - why this could be a great time to make bold career/life decisions 

    - passive vs. proactive approaches to financial preparation

    - leaning into community and avoiding isolation

    86. Why Are Micro-Retirements So Popular Lately?

    · Piloting

    Whether you call it a micro-retirement or a sabbatical or funemployment, the idea of taking a period of not working (or scaling back work) in the middle of your career isn’t something new. We’re all likely to be working longer, and living longer, so waiting until 65 to formally retire and enjoy your life doesn’t feel like a guarantee the way it did for our parents’ or grandparents’ generation. RenĂ©e has taken one and highly recommends a break for anyone who can fit it into their budget and lifestyle. 


    This week, we discuss:

    - planning your micro-retirement or career break

    - if forced unemployment (like a layoff or firing) counts?

    - using the break to relieve burnout, pursue passion projects, or pivot careers

    - building a balanced life/career where you don’t need breaks

    - and so much more!

    85. Is Severance Between Our Work and Personal Life a Good Idea? (No Spoilers!)

    · Piloting

    Like many people, we are huge fans of the hit Apple TV+ show Severance. It’s very bingeable and made us think about our own POVs on compartmentalizing our work and career from the rest of our lives. Is focusing entirely on productivity at the office and then never bringing work home a sign of good work-life balance, or are there downsides to mentally writing off huge chunks of your day?


    This week, we’re doing something different with a TV episode to chat about some of the show’s themes—we promise no spoilers!— and discuss:

    - if we’d choose severance

    - whether “bringing your whole self” to work is ever a good idea

    - embracing the many roles we play in life vs. limiting ourselves to one identity

    - how similar our innies and outies would be

    - and much more! (#PraiseKier)

    · Piloting

    Whether you live in the public eye or a more private life, sometimes the things we do or even just the way we exist in the world ruffles some feathers. It can feel like the more we’re doing big things or growing in popularity or visibility, the more we attract unwanted (and unwarranted) hate – especially for women. But the tradeoff is silencing yourself and not leaning into your greatness
so we say, push through the criticism and do it anyway!


    This week, we get into:

    - the “crabs in a bucket” mentality 

    - pushing through the fear of standing out

    - filtering the noise to find constructive criticism

    79. Are You Living Life In a Velvet Coffin (and Are You Ready To Get Out)?

    · Piloting

    Suzy Welch is a Professor of Management Practice at the NYU Stern School of Business, a business journalist, and best-selling author who coined the Velvet Coffin theory. This theory describes how waiting to change a job or life that’s comfortable – but not your big dream – puts you in a metaphorical “velvet coffin” with a lid that slowly closes and traps you. Yikes!

    78. Do You Know Your Values (and Are You Living By Them)?

    · Piloting

    We’re back! After a quick catch-up on what we’ve been up to during our hiatus, we kick off our first new episode of the year with a conversation on values – our personal compass that guides us toward what’s important to us.


    We chat about:

    - Some of Melissa and RenĂ©e’s core values

    - Surrounding yourself with people who share or complement your values

    - What happens to us when we’re living out of alignment with our values

    - Questions and tools to help discover your values

    - Navigating tough conversations in defense of your values

    - & so much more!

    77. Is Being an Overachiever Overrated?

    · Piloting

    Many people (including us) proudly wear the label of overachiever and enjoy being the kind of people to go above and beyond – in work and in other parts of life. But that’s not always a good thing. Sometimes, it can actually create more problems than it solves.


    This week, we unravel the downsides of being an overachiever, including:

    - the challenge of setting unrealistic (and unsustainable) expectations about your capacity

    - knowing where to put your extra energy and effort

    - the pros and cons of overperforming during your first 30/60/90 days on the job

    - the difference between being a high achiever and an overachiever

    - why it doesn’t have to be lonely at the top, if you build the right support network

    - many, many automobile metaphors 


    Remember, “You can’t spell career without car.”


    PS - 1.80 seconds is the fastest F1 pit stop record.
