Tune in for a brief update on the pod from Andrea!

Have you been laid off?

If so, first of all, I am so sorry. This is tough stuff.

But I want to help!

Tune in to this episode for a recap of episodes I would recommend as you get your feet under you after getting that devastating news. There are a series of earlier podcast episodes that I want you to listen to when you're ready so you can show up as your best self when you begin the job search again.

Also mentioned in this episode is the "tracker" I have used for myself personally after being laid off two times. I have saved a blank copy with examples for you to use and put your own touches on so you can be a successful, organized job seeker.

As always, if I can offer any additional help or support to you, please reach out to me directly. I mean it! Sending love.

How do you know you're a people pleaser, and what can you do about it? It's no secret that women carry a burden of people pleasing tendencies in order to keep everyone around them happy. Andrea shares some reflection she's done in therapy and on her own to process her people pleasing tendencies, as well as what you can do to process a similar experience.

This week, Andrea discusses the phenomenon known as "imposter syndrome," as well as its origins and solutions for change.

After taking a pause last week, Andrea is back and sharing more about what's been on her mind lately, including her own mental health.

Just checking in to say hello and offer some very real time advice.

This week, Andrea brings attention to a hot topic in hiring: women taking breaks from their careers. Having worked for an organization whose mission was to break this level of bias in hiring, she shares her firsthand experience and ways that companies can support women who are trying to reenter the workforce.
