Jamie Pei, my lovely friend and fabulous work play coach, joins us this week to chat about the importance of undoing the societal expectations and 'shoulds' around work and life.

Finding joy and play and ease in amongst the daily grind is essential in perimenopause to avoid burn out and making symptoms worse.

We both share our experiences of hustle culture and how this just hasn't brought us fulfilment in our day to day lives. This chat touches on the parallels between diet culture and work culture, and how both are rooted in 'shoulds' and external ideals. All of these things stop us from truly being able to be ourselves because we are drawn in to performing life the way society expects us to.

Jamie helps us ditch the expectations and puts a fresh take what it means to sleep our way to the top through rest!

About Jamie Pei:

With over two decades of experience in the media, fashion, religion and academia, Jamie knows a thing or two about living under the shadow and control of a big, influential institution. She finally made the firm decision to leave all of that behind to start her own coaching business and step into her main-character-energy era!

Jamie is now a work/play coach, supporting self-employed folk to curate a worklife that’s full of ease and play, and aligns with WHAT THEY WANT for their lives. A big part of this work includes helping you find your best way to say “fuck it” to the shoulds - in other words, to recognise which ‘shoulds’, expectations and ideals are still keeping you small, so you can shrug them off for good and start living exactly how YOU want.
