Has busy-ness become the norm for your life? Have you felt that you’re living to work rather than working to live? If you are, you’re not alone. So many of us are impacted by internalized capitalism – it can feel like every decision we make is based on our productivity. This way of living wreaks havoc on our nervous system and doesn’t foster an environment where we feel like we can truly flourish.

This concept of internalized capitalism is something that I have spent more and more time thinking about, and seeing the impact of in my own life. Today on the podcast, I'm really excited to dig into this topic, this topic of internalized capitalism, what it means, how it plays into our life and how we can start to break up with this systemic challenge that many of us, especially ambitious empaths are still living and operating inside of so let's jump in.

Topics:

• What internalized capitalism is, how it was formed, and how we can combat and overcome this systemic challenge
• Why this topic is important to Catherine and why she believes it directly affects empaths and HSPs
• Loving as a verb and why we have to make more room in our lives for simplicity
• Rest as an act of resistance and the profound consequences that can come from it
• The idea of living in accordance with the seasons and being comfortable with downturns and breakdowns
• Four places to start when it comes to understanding internalized capitalism and dismantling it in our own lives

If you've been tuning into the podcast recently, you've likely noticed that I've been doing things a little bit differently. I have been sharing some of my most favorite and powerful tools, frameworks, and coaching distinctions that I use with my clients and myself as I've been sitting with the despair, grief, and fear of what's going on in my own country and cultures around the world. This week is no different – I want to share what can support you in a changing and unpredictable job market and periods of transition in your career, whether you’re at a place of wanting to finally leave the nine to five and pursue your own entrepreneurial dream, whether you have been laid off in this current job market, whether you've been fired, or whether you've chosen to see yourself out. These tools and exercises that I'm sharing with you today have been some of the most impactful for my clients in navigating periods of transition in the job market with intentionality, with purposefulness and with integrity. I hope you find today's episode not only useful but as a tool to bring you a bit of peace and direction.
