MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In this episode of Repeat That Again Please, we’re getting into the real stuff—what success actually looks like (on your terms), how to find focus in the chaos, and why balancing visibility with sensitivity matters more than ever.
Plus, we’re talking about friendships: when to fight for them and when to let them go. And, of course, hustle culture—because what’s the point of grinding if it’s just grinding you down?
Host, Genelle Aldred, sits down with transformational coach, author, and keynote speaker Tamu Thomas, whose work on joyful and positive productivity is a breath of fresh air.
Together, they break down how to move away from toxic productivity, set boundaries that actually stick, and show up in life and work with authenticity.
They also dive into:
🔹 The impact of collective chaos and how to stay grounded
🔹 Why joy, rest, and self-compassion are the ultimate power moves
🔹 The real test of friendships—who’s in your corner, and who’s holding you back
🔹 The economics of under-earning (especially for women) and charging your worth
🔹 The beauty of ‘delusional ambition’ and why it might just be the key to success
It’s a conversation packed with insights, practical takeaways, and a few hard truths we all need to hear.
