It’s here! Season 2! And school! And heightened work expectations. 😬 To help us feel grounded and more purposefully motivated this time of year, we have executive coach, author AND Mother of three Arivee Vargas. Arivee, like so many of us, has grappled with ambition & success alongside just wanting to be fulfilled & happy (too much to ask!?). Thankfully she is here to tell us how she’s found her way to alignment and, in her words, “aliveness.”
In this episode:
⚖️ Leaving Big Law and Big Corporate to stop “playing small”
😰 The sense of dread she felt when she was up for partner
🌱 Turning her side hustle into full-time hustle (and rethinking “hustle”)
🔥 The burnout and identity crisis that led to satisfaction
💩 Giving fewer and fewer sh*ts
📚Purchase Arivee’s new book Your Time To Rise wherever books are sold.
Also – we’re exploring more sponsors! Know a brand we should share with our audience (and maybe help them get a discount on!?), shoot us a note at [email protected].
