    Regardless of how much we try to maintain our balance, we may feel that sometimes it gets out of our control, when other people, be it colleagues or supervisors, try to steal it from us. And while they may do so unintentionally, it still leaves you feeling like your boundaries were breached and all your efforts to have a balanced life went down the drain.

    In this coffee chat, we uncover hidden ways your balance might be stolen without you even realizing it. We discuss real-life examples and personal situations and ways to make sure that your balance stays intact, regardless of other people's intrusions.

    Key takeaways:

    • We often end up realizing that our balance was stolen from us only after it already happened.
    • Others may steal your balance unintentionally, but it is up to you to communicate your needs.
    • Other people's bad balance habits are not a good enough reason to guilt-trip you into believing that your boundaries are worthless.

    If your work is taking over your life and you struggle to unplug in the evening or even the weekend, we'd love to help you create a work-life balance that works for you!

    No matter who you are, we all have one thing in common: a complete and utter fascination with personality. After all, there is a reason why there are so many personality tests and personality types marketed to us everywhere.

    But what if our fascination with personality and our efforts to understand and make sense of our own personality is actually keeping us from reaching our full potential?

    In this coffee chat, we discuss the myths that surround personality, the limiting beliefs that emerge from those myths, and how you can understand yourself and others while reaching your full potential.

    Key take-aways:

    • Your personality does not dictate what you can and cannot do.
    • Your personality can change across time.
    • Your personality is a strong tendency - it is not set in stone.

    If you'd like to know more about your personality, you can find a validated and reliable test here.

    If your work is taking over your life and you struggle to unplug in the evening or even the weekend, we'd love to help you create a work-life balance that works for you!

  • How to process and learn from your negative emotions (sadness, anger, worry, envy and guilt)

    We are so used to putting aside our negative emotions, suppressing them, or hiding them. But they are actually there for a reason.
    In this episode, we dive deep into the 5 biggest negative emotions and discuss how they can be powerful tools for personal growth and emotional maturity. Rather than avoiding these feelings, we explore how understanding and processing them can lead to better self-awareness and self-regulation.

    Key takeaways:

    • Identifying your negative emotions through physical and mental signals is the first step to letting them go
    • Your negative emotions are there to serve as an emotional compass for your needs, values, and desires.
    • Becoming more emotionally aware is an essential step towards better self-development.

    If your work is taking over your life and you struggle to unplug in the evening or even the weekend, we'd love to help you create a work-life balance that works for you!
