Making choices count is an essential aspect of living a fulfilling life. No matter how small, every decision we make can shape our present and future. By being mindful and intentional in our choices, we can maximize our opportunities for growth and happiness. Whether choosing to prioritize our values, setting boundaries, or seeking guidance, each option carries significance. Embracing the power of our choices empowers us to create the life we truly desire, where every decision counts towards our personal and professional success.

The “better not reflex” is a common response to societal and workplace pressures, leading to a loss of self and burnout. It’s a typical response to societal and workplace pressures that leads to a loss of self and burnout. It refers to the tendency for women to hold back their authentic selves and conform to societal expectations, particularly in the workplace. This reflex can stifle creativity and innovation and contribute to feelings of burnout and dissatisfaction.

I am talking to Dani Strang about her journey with burnout and the importance of women’s authentic expression in the workplace. Dani is currently the Co-Founder of Maggie: A budding EdTech/Social Impact platform where all women (cis, trans & non-binary) re-connect to their authentic expression using magazine content as a catalyst. Using her own burnout experience as a catalyst, Dani launched into an entrepreneurial journey to have a bigger impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Key takeaways:

• “Maggie” teaches women to rekindle their authentic expression in conversations
• Women often shape-shift and suppress their authentic selves to fit in and achieve success
• Women experience trauma and difficulty with expressing their ideas, perspectives, and opinions in critical conversations
• Innovation and creativity are stifled when women do not express their authentic selves
• Women need to be believed when speaking about their experiences, whether regarding reproductive rights or sexual assault
• Pregnancy can affect one’s position in the workplace and the decision to transition out of a job
• Women need to support and advocate for each other, especially those with intersectional identities
• Access to medical abortion is critical for women’s health and autonomy

Setting boundaries is essential in both personal and professional relationships. Just like a fence around a garden keeps out unwanted animals and protects the plants, boundaries protect our time, energy, and resources from being depleted by external demands. With boundaries, we can become overwhelmed, burned out, and unable to provide the best service possible. Honesty is key to maintaining healthy relationships and ensuring the best outcomes for everyone involved. By being clear about what we can and cannot do, we build trust and respect with others and set the foundation for a productive and positive environment.

Kelly Lundberg, the founder of Brand You Creators, is a renowned personal shopping expert and entrepreneur passionate about helping others achieve their goals. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for honesty, integrity, and a dedication to personal and professional growth. Kelly shares insights and advice on entrepreneurship, personal growth, and building successful businesses in this engaging conversation.

Key takeaways:

• Setting boundaries and maintaining self-discipline is crucial for entrepreneurs to avoid burnout and achieve work-life balance
• Starting a business at a young age requires naivety and the willingness to try new things
• Reading business books can provide valuable insights and knowledge for continued learning and growth
• Saying “no” to clients who are not a good match is important for delivering the best service
