with Covina Covido. Welcome to the Switch Over Real Quick podcast.
22
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.000
Thank you, it's wonderful. It's wonderful, wonderful to be here.
23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.079
It's really a pleasure. Thank you for having me.
24
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.760
Of course, So your coaching practice is called It's My
25
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.439
Time Now. Can you share what led you to create
26
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.400
this platform and what that name represents for you and
27
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.640
the women that you work with.
28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.959
That's a great question, I think, thanks for asking It's
29
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.680
my Time now. It's really about the fact that we know,
30
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.319
why do we why are we waiting? Why do we
31
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.280
wait in our lives to create what we know is
32
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.959
inside of our hearts? You know, oftentimes we kind of
33
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.840
go through life, I mean sometimes with blinders maybe, or
34
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.400
or kind of like we kind of fall into things
35
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.799
and then twenty years later it's like, oh my goodness,
36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.800
am I really happy with what I'm doing? Or am
37
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.960
I as fulfilled as I should be? So the reason
38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.879
I chose this name, and I think it really resonated
39
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.639
with It resonated me and a lot of a lot
40
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.479
of people, is it really is your time now to
41
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.680
really rediscover who you are, what you want, you know,
42
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.400
and really how to get there, especially as you go
43
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.800
through transitions in life, whether their career or other life transitions.
44
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.360
So it's really, you know, if we don't want to
45
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.639
look back at our life with regret. So the time
46
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.879
aspect of it, I think was really important for me
47
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.560
to bring across, especially for the women who are listening
48
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.680
who might be like, oh, you know, I'm not sure,
49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.639
I don't know what the next. You know you want to.
50
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.360
I know one of your questions is focusing on helping
51
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.240
people answer the question what's next? Right, So that's it.
52
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.120
I think the time element is super important because you know,
53
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.960
we have the time now to really figure it out,
54
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.639
so we should take the opportunity.
55
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.800
You've mentioned and you've shared about your story in your transitions,
56
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.280
and I would love to find out, first of all,
57
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.039
what was your transition journey and getting into doing the
58
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.840
work that you're doing now, And did you have any
59
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.080
fears around making a huge transition like you did.
60
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.520
Oh my god, I had so many fears and I
61
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.400
still do every day. I'm sure you do too, right, Yeah,
62
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.840
thank you. My transition I was and I was in
63
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.000
the pharmaceutical industry for almost twenty five years. I'm Indian
64
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.199
and I live in Canada. And I grew up here,
65
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.120
and so I was in the pharmaceutical industry, you know,
66
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.879
as a science degree and business degree, and it would
67
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.280
just seem natural to go into that. And it was
68
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.240
great when it was great, you know, and progressively senior roles,
69
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.080
you know, doing really well, enjoyed it. You know, it
70
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.159
allowed a lot of comfort and stability in my life.
71
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.439
Right around the time I turned fifty, however, there was
72
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.319
something inside of me that switched, I guess, and I
73
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.280
began to question, as I'm sure many of your listeners
74
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.079
may also have that feeling. It doesn't have to be
75
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.879
at fifty. It can be any time in your life
76
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.439
when you kind of question, you know, is this it
77
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.879
is this what I really want to do for the
78
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.480
rest of my life? Is what I'm doing right now
79
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.199
really utilizing all of my passions, all of my strengths.
80
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.319
And the answer was really no, right, So it took
81
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.120
me a while. It took me at least two years before,
82
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.800
you know, when the start of that voice kind of
83
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.560
started in my inside. And then I actually left because
84
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.319
of those fears that you were talking about, like, oh
85
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.079
my god, what am I going to do? You know,
86
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.199
what are people going to think of? Me. You know,
87
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.720
all the judgment pieces is because I was just so
88
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.360
used to doing this and I was successful from the
89
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.959
outside and the inside though things were definite, so those
90
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.519
fears were definitely there, but the voice crew so loud
91
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.800
that I just really couldn't ignore it anymore. And that's
92
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.680
when I decided to leave. And then I realized that
93
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.120
there's so many other people who are going through these
94
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.000
transitions and life who kind of just ignore those signals,
95
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.040
you know, And I wanted to dig deep into that,
96
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.079
and I was like, why do we have these triggers?
97
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:23.600
What is a transition?
98
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.079
Really?
99
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:32.439
How can I help people successfully navigate these transitions and
100
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.199
really understand their why? And I believe when you understand
101
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.800
your why, then the transition that you're making in your
102
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.319
career and your life just it. The changes that you
103
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.480
make after that really stick. So a long answer to
104
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.680
your question, but that's kind of how the transition, you know,
105
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.720
how I transitioned into becoming a coach and a podcaster myself.
106
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.720
I wanted to hear other women's stories of how they
107
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.480
transitioned in their lives and what did they learn, what
108
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.759
kind of fears did they have, and what challenges did
109
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.839
they face? So it's been really rewarding, and it's just,
110
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.160
you know, it's it's what I encourage people to do
111
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.879
if they have that voice inside of them too, to
112
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.360
not wait.
113
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.399
So on one hand, you mentioned how you know, you
114
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:24.920
have the pressures around you, right and the expectations externally,
115
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.319
and people think like, oh, your life is amazing, it
116
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.600
looks amazing. You did all the things you were supposed
117
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.920
to do. How did you grapple with or did you
118
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:42.000
have to grapple with maybe letting people down and how,
119
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.000
you know, like, how did that feel, especially culturally we
120
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.279
know from the outside what culturally a lot of Indian
121
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.600
parents expect, a lot of African parents expect, you know,
122
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.040
you know, Asian parents like, we know culturally there's a
123
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.480
high expectation. And so did you worry about that at
124
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.199
that point in your life or was that that burned
125
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.680
so big that you said, hey, it doesn't matter whatever
126
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.360
people expect.
127
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.360
That's a great question. I think it was a bit
128
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:22.000
of both, to be honest, like you said, being you know, Indian,
129
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:29.319
I was always raised with the traditions expectations of you know,
130
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.560
get a good you know, get a good education, get
131
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.720
a good job, get married, have kids, and I follow
132
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.199
that really to a t right. And but you know,
133
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.040
if I think about, like, why did why do our
134
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.040
parents put those expectations on us? And that's because they
135
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.560
just want us to be safe, they want us to
136
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.160
be successful, right. And that's the same thing that happens internally,
137
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.759
is that when you start thinking about doing something new,
138
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.040
we have these inner critics in our brain going no, no, no, no,
139
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.959
I can't do that, and that's trying to keep us safe.
140
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.040
So I think the answer to that is I listened
141
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.639
to that for a while, and I lived my life
142
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.199
according to those kind of expectations for a long time.
143
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.759
But when that, you know, that inner guidance, I would say,
144
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.839
overtook that expectation, and then I wanted to really understand
145
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:26.279
who I was regardless of the outside expectations. That's when
146
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.199
it took over, you know. But I was I was
147
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.120
lucky in that. At first, my you know, my my
148
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.840
family was like, well, why would why would you do this?
149
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.200
Because you're doing really well, everything's great. Why are you
150
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.080
rocking the boat?
151
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:41.879
What's you know?
152
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.080
Even my closest friends would say that, like, we're so
153
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.240
that was a bit tough, but they were not. But
154
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.200
I have to tell you they at the end, they
155
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.240
were supportive, you know, and my immediate families actually was
156
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.679
I actually just I had just had a podcast in
157
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.759
my two hundredth episode and I was talking about this
158
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.840
when my might thank you if my kids and my
159
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.120
husband we went on a vacation and they asked me,
160
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.879
you know, what do you really want? Mom? Wow, what
161
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.000
do you really want? And that just like it just
162
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.559
opened up so much for me. It's like they're so supportive,
163
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.559
and so I would say that, you know, the lesson
164
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.679
there is that you can do things. It's it's important
165
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.519
to have that support system, you know, whether you get
166
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.799
it from me, immediate people around you, or you look
167
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.759
for it in communities or groups. It's really important. So
168
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.440
you know, you can't ignore people around you, but you
169
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.919
have to still be able to follow your voice and
170
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.840
your guess yeah, does that make sense or absolutely?
171
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.080
Absolutely? And I just love the way that your children
172
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.120
questioned you in such a thoughtful way. And that's a
173
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.600
testament obviously to your parenting, right, But how many kids
174
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.080
would say, like, mom, what do you really want? Like
175
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.720
I feel like that question is enough to like break
176
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.399
someone down.
177
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.960
Oh well, I just literally cried and my last Time
178
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.600
episode when I was recalling it because it was really true.
179
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.679
I remember it was like they're like, because I was
180
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.639
going on, I was, you know, deciding what to do,
181
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.000
and they said, okay, let's just spend the next two
182
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.519
hours like, take out a book. This is really what happened.
183
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.919
Take out a book, I note book, and let's just
184
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.279
like brainstorm all the things you could do. I'm like,
185
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.200
you boys are like incredible. You know, so.
186
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.399
How old were they at this time?
187
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.840
Oh, like early twenties.
188
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.559
Oh my gosh. I love that. That is just so
189
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.440
like caring and I know, I know, I feel like
190
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.480
that probably is something that if more people had, that
191
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.120
they would be more energized to do the things that
192
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.519
they want to do, because so many of us just
193
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.320
want to be seen and heard and understood, and someone
194
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.279
taking out the time to say, hey, let's work on
195
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.679
you and let's workshop what you want to do next.
196
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.799
I can't think of a better way to feel like
197
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.320
seen and heard and understood and loved. Oh I just
198
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.039
love your kids. I love him.
199
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.519
And actually know that you say that. It's so interesting.
200
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.360
I never really thought of it this way, and this
201
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.320
just came into my mind, is that they let me
202
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.360
be seen and heard and now this is what I'm
203
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.279
doing for others and what you're doing for others. Isn't
204
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.559
it the truth? That's what people want. People just want
205
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.360
to be seen and heard and understood.
206
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:28.399
Yeah, yeah, so right, yeah, yeah. What's one of the
207
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.080
things that in doing this work now for the past
208
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.080
but has it been like five years?
209
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:34.679
Five years?
210
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.039
Yeah, yeah, for the past five years. What's one of
211
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.440
the things that's really stood out to you in doing
212
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.159
the work with all of these women. Is it something
213
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.320
that you learned or is it something that you were
214
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.120
surprised to understand about this work in this process. I
215
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:52.519
don't know.
216
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.919
Yeah, you know, I guess I was surprised at how
217
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.399
calm and some of the challenges are with so many
218
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:07.240
women and a lot of women, you know, I mean
219
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.120
most of the women who come to me, they just
220
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.360
come because they're feeling very stuck, they're feeling very overwhelmed.
221
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.679
You know, They're very accomplished, they're really smart, they really
222
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.480
have a lot of experience, a lot of great things,
223
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.240
but they don't actually recognize how great they are. It's
224
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.559
really like they are so amazing, but they don't recognize it.
225
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.279
So I think that that's one of the things that
226
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.240
I see very common and I think the most rewarding
227
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.960
part of this work, and I don't know, I'm sure
228
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.240
you have you know, agree with.
229
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.279
Me, is.
230
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.000
Being able to really put a spotlight on somebody's life
231
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.360
and say how great, you know, bring out their strength,
232
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.080
you know, help them uncover what they're really passionate about,
233
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.960
and help them really uncover their why. And when they
234
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.240
uncover their why, then they can plans for the future.
235
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.120
And it's kind of like a transformational process where it's
236
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.600
like you can see the person like lighting up when
237
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.279
it's like, oh my god, yeah, that's actually what I
238
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.960
really want to do and ex then it's like that
239
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.799
whole process. It's like that's the first part of it,
240
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.159
and then the next part is like how do I
241
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.440
actually bring that out into the world, right. I think
242
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.399
it's the transformational process that is the most rewarding thing.
243
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.159
Is when you go through and you have somebody who
244
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.360
shines a light again on you, it gives you the
245
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840
time and space to really be understand who you are,
246
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.759
you know. I think that's the power of coaching, where
247
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.679
you have somebody who's also an accountability it's like Okay, well,
248
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.200
you said you're going to do this. Now we've figured
249
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.440
out what you're going to do and how are you
250
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.039
going to do it, and we're I'm going to, you know,
251
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:48.080
keep you accountable for that. So I think that would
252
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.759
be the most rewarding thing.
253
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.120
Yeah, I would love for you to share one of
254
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.919
the stories maybe of I guess you don't have to
255
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:04.080
be specific, but a journey that has stayed with you
256
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.159
that someone.
257
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.919
Had one of the well, actually one of my most
258
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.360
recent clients. It's really interesting because you know, I said,
259
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.120
some women come in they're feeling stuck, and they're overwhelmed
260
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.759
and often even burnt out right from what they're doing.
261
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.039
So this particular client of mine, she is brilliant. She's
262
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.120
a brilliant scientist. She has two PhDs, and she has
263
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.960
this perfect job that people from the outside would be like,
264
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.159
oh my god, this is like the dream job, right,
265
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.679
and she also felt that way, right if she feels
266
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.440
that way, and so she's been in this job for
267
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:45.480
twenty plus years. And however, I think as time goes by,
268
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240
you know how, you just kind of continue and work
269
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.759
and you don't question it. And then she also became
270
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.919
burnt out because of the work but deeper than that,
271
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.519
she wasn't tapping into what she really wanted to do,
272
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.039
what she really was inside her heart. So as we
273
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.159
work through this the process of finding what I call
274
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.240
the you know what the term is the ekey guy,
275
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.720
are your reason for being? We uncovered her strengths were
276
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.000
pretty you know, easy to identify because she's a scientist,
277
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.440
she's a researcher, she's brilliant, analytical, all of that. When
278
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.559
it came down covering her passions, she realized that she
279
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:31.080
hadn't really one of her greatest passions is music and art,
280
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.399
you know, and she did that when she was a kid,
281
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.039
and she had dabbled in it a little bit in
282
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.559
the last few years, but that was her real passion.
283
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.519
And the other thing is she really valued educating young
284
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.039
girls because she has a daughter herself, on the value
285
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.519
of stam education and bringing creativity into that. So all
286
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.080
these things kind of blended into like she's like, oh
287
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.519
my god, I can do this, I can do this.
288
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.720
She started a YouTube channel, she started painting again. She
289
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.639
sold her paintings at the local you know, the library,
290
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:10.080
and she's you know, displayed them, and she started teaching
291
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.919
this instrument to her daughter's class, and she said that,
292
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.879
you know, she said, oh my god, kibta like the energy,
293
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.879
I'm just a different person. Like the energy, the positive
294
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.080
energy that has been released as just as a result
295
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.399
of me bringing this into my life has transferred into
296
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.799
my work and that now I'm like my work and
297
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.360
my relationships are better. So it's not about always giving
298
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.799
up everything, right, It's about understanding and rediscovering what's inside
299
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.919
of you already. So that's just one example of like
300
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.759
digging into what may you have you might have buried
301
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.840
in your heart or you haven't done, and just uncovering that.
302
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.320
Ooh, I know it's getting good. But we'll be right
303
00:16:54.360 --> 00:17:01.879
back after we hear from our sponsors. If you had
304
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.319
one clear action item that you wanted to share with
305
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.720
people about figuring out their why, what would that be?
306
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.960
Because I know that that sentiment of letting your why
307
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.920
be your north star and understanding your why it is
308
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.680
heavily out there, right, But I don't think there's as
309
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.400
much conversation around how do you get to your why?
310
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.759
And I know that it can be a long process
311
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.920
for some people, and some people it's a little bit easier.
312
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.480
But do you have any advice or maybe one thing
313
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.880
that you like to share about helping people figure out
314
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.440
their why.
315
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:49.720
That's really the probably the biggest part of my coaching
316
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.359
that I do. That's the whole first part of it.
317
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.359
I would say that the biggest thing is to give
318
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.119
yourself the space and the time and mission to figure
319
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.119
that out. And yes, for some people it takes longer
320
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.119
than others, but give yourself the permission and the grace
321
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:16.160
to understand that. And the process is you know that
322
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.000
I went through, the I take my clients through. It
323
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.200
is a step by step process of finding or why.
324
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:28.039
It is determining your strengths. It is determining what are
325
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.039
you really passionate about through a step by step process.
326
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.759
It is about determining what you really value, and it's
327
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.440
about determining what does the world need right now that
328
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.799
you can you contribute your unique skills and talent and
329
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.480
passions towards that, Like what do you think is missing
330
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:51.440
in the world that you can uniquely provide? And once
331
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.359
you determine that, it's a fuel for you. It's at
332
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:58.400
that positive fuel, positive anabolic energy that grits created that
333
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.319
all of a sudden things will come to you. People
334
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.920
will come to you ironically. It seems ironic, but it's
335
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.039
actually not. It's a law of attraction. It's it's people
336
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.920
coming to you because you've put it out there. You've
337
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.000
actually once you put your your why out there, once
338
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.839
you actually internalize it and believe that you can do it,
339
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.119
uncanny things happen, and it happened to me, and they
340
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.480
happen to countless people that I've worked with. And it's
341
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.880
so I would say long answer to the question, but
342
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.799
the first part of it is giving yourself the permission
343
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.200
to understand your why because it don't expect it to
344
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.319
take one day like it's it's it's an ongoing process,
345
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:44.119
and we and why changes also throughout our lives. Yeah,
346
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.359
so it's not stagnant, it's it's it's it's it's an
347
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.039
ongoing process of determination.
348
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.920
Yeah. I'm glad you pointed that out because I think
349
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.960
that takes some of the pressure off of figuring it
350
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.160
out right. A lot of times you're figuring out your why,
351
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.880
you feel like it's this one thing, this one conclusion
352
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.039
that you need to come to, and then you're married
353
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.759
to that conclusion forever we all know, mate.
354
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.680
So yeah, and it could be many wise, it could
355
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.720
be more than one, why, right, Like it could be
356
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.079
many things like my wives to be a great mother
357
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.960
or wife, you know whatever, and our and it could
358
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.839
be to be uh, you know, to to help transfer
359
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.000
a lot transform lives. There's different whys you have. It's
360
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.039
not like one and neither that's it, like you know,
361
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.240
so it's it's evolving and there could be more than one.
362
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.400
But it's around who you really are uniquely to you
363
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.640
and it's about determining that, right mm hmm.
364
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.880
In wrapping up, I would love to know. Trailing off
365
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:49.200
from our whys, what do you think about success specifically
366
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:55.519
with relation to yourself? What is your definition of success
367
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.240
for you? And do you feel like you've reached that
368
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.960
level of success that you're aiming to work?
369
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:08.359
I think success is individual, for sure, you know I
370
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.960
and I think my definition of success has changed dramatically,
371
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.519
Like as I said before, when I was in the
372
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.519
corporate world, do you know there's outward expressions of success.
373
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.319
You know, whatever level of career you're in, you know,
374
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.359
a director, you know, vice VP, whatever, right, and you
375
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.519
strive for that and there's nothing wrong with that if
376
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:35.279
that is your definition of success. That was and that
377
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.880
change when I realized that that's not what would make
378
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:43.480
me feulfilled. My definition of success is really being able
379
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:49.559
to help transform as many lives as possible through what
380
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.119
the work that I do. And I don't put a
381
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.920
number on it. I don't put a monetary thing on it.
382
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.839
It's more about being putting my best efforts out there
383
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.799
and having people attract people to me who need my help,
384
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.400
because not everybody needs my help, not but not everyone
385
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.079
is aligned with me, you know. It's who's aligned with me,
386
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.720
who attracts who's attracted to me, and how can we
387
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.799
work together to make their lives more meaningful. So it's
388
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.240
about changing lives and helping people. I know it sounds
389
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.680
very woo wu, but that's really what it is. It's
390
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.680
really it's changed, you know, the value it It's all
391
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.160
about my values that have changed, you know. So my
392
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.880
definite success is really not monetary, and that comes like
393
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.799
monetary success comes if you're doing something that aligns with
394
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.000
your why it's it's if you focus only on the outcome,
395
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.359
or like the monetary outcome, or like, oh I have
396
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.599
to get to this level. I think it's a moving target.
397
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.240
If you really do every day, you really are meant
398
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:07.160
to do with full passion and excitement and energy, then
399
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.200
the results will follow.

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.239
with Covina Covido. Welcome to the Switch Over Real Quick podcast.
22
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.000
Thank you, it's wonderful. It's wonderful, wonderful to be here.
23
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.079
It's really a pleasure. Thank you for having me.
24
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.760
Of course, So your coaching practice is called It's My
25
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.439
Time Now. Can you share what led you to create
26
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.400
this platform and what that name represents for you and
27
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.640
the women that you work with.
28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.959
That's a great question, I think, thanks for asking It's
29
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.680
my Time now. It's really about the fact that we know,
30
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.319
why do we why are we waiting? Why do we
31
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.280
wait in our lives to create what we know is
32
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.959
inside of our hearts? You know, oftentimes we kind of
33
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.840
go through life, I mean sometimes with blinders maybe, or
34
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.400
or kind of like we kind of fall into things
35
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.799
and then twenty years later it's like, oh my goodness,
36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.800
am I really happy with what I'm doing? Or am
37
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.960
I as fulfilled as I should be? So the reason
38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.879
I chose this name, and I think it really resonated
39
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.639
with It resonated me and a lot of a lot
40
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.479
of people, is it really is your time now to
41
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.680
really rediscover who you are, what you want, you know,
42
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.400
and really how to get there, especially as you go
43
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.800
through transitions in life, whether their career or other life transitions.
44
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.360
So it's really, you know, if we don't want to
45
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.639
look back at our life with regret. So the time
46
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.879
aspect of it, I think was really important for me
47
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.560
to bring across, especially for the women who are listening
48
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.680
who might be like, oh, you know, I'm not sure,
49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.639
I don't know what the next. You know you want to.
50
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.360
I know one of your questions is focusing on helping
51
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.240
people answer the question what's next? Right, So that's it.
52
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.120
I think the time element is super important because you know,
53
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.960
we have the time now to really figure it out,
54
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.639
so we should take the opportunity.
55
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.800
You've mentioned and you've shared about your story in your transitions,
56
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.280
and I would love to find out, first of all,
57
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.039
what was your transition journey and getting into doing the
58
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.840
work that you're doing now, And did you have any
59
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.080
fears around making a huge transition like you did.
60
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.520
Oh my god, I had so many fears and I
61
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.400
still do every day. I'm sure you do too, right, Yeah,
62
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.840
thank you. My transition I was and I was in
63
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.000
the pharmaceutical industry for almost twenty five years. I'm Indian
64
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.199
and I live in Canada. And I grew up here,
65
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.120
and so I was in the pharmaceutical industry, you know,
66
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.879
as a science degree and business degree, and it would
67
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.280
just seem natural to go into that. And it was
68
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.240
great when it was great, you know, and progressively senior roles,
69
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.080
you know, doing really well, enjoyed it. You know, it
70
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.159
allowed a lot of comfort and stability in my life.
71
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.439
Right around the time I turned fifty, however, there was
72
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.319
something inside of me that switched, I guess, and I
73
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.280
began to question, as I'm sure many of your listeners
74
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.079
may also have that feeling. It doesn't have to be
75
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.879
at fifty. It can be any time in your life
76
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.439
when you kind of question, you know, is this it
77
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.879
is this what I really want to do for the
78
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.480
rest of my life? Is what I'm doing right now
79
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.199
really utilizing all of my passions, all of my strengths.
80
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.319
And the answer was really no, right, So it took
81
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.120
me a while. It took me at least two years before,
82
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.800
you know, when the start of that voice kind of
83
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.560
started in my inside. And then I actually left because
84
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.319
of those fears that you were talking about, like, oh
85
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.079
my god, what am I going to do? You know,
86
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.199
what are people going to think of? Me. You know,
87
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.720
all the judgment pieces is because I was just so
88
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.360
used to doing this and I was successful from the
89
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.959
outside and the inside though things were definite, so those
90
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.519
fears were definitely there, but the voice crew so loud
91
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.800
that I just really couldn't ignore it anymore. And that's
92
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.680
when I decided to leave. And then I realized that
93
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.120
there's so many other people who are going through these
94
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.000
transitions and life who kind of just ignore those signals,
95
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.040
you know, And I wanted to dig deep into that,
96
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.079
and I was like, why do we have these triggers?
97
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:23.600
What is a transition?
98
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.079
Really?
99
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:32.439
How can I help people successfully navigate these transitions and
100
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.199
really understand their why? And I believe when you understand
101
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.800
your why, then the transition that you're making in your
102
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.319
career and your life just it. The changes that you
103
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.480
make after that really stick. So a long answer to
104
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.680
your question, but that's kind of how the transition, you know,
105
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.720
how I transitioned into becoming a coach and a podcaster myself.
106
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.720
I wanted to hear other women's stories of how they
107
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.480
transitioned in their lives and what did they learn, what
108
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.759
kind of fears did they have, and what challenges did
109
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.839
they face? So it's been really rewarding, and it's just,
110
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.160
you know, it's it's what I encourage people to do
111
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.879
if they have that voice inside of them too, to
112
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.360
not wait.
113
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.399
So on one hand, you mentioned how you know, you
114
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:24.920
have the pressures around you, right and the expectations externally,
115
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.319
and people think like, oh, your life is amazing, it
116
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.600
looks amazing. You did all the things you were supposed
117
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.920
to do. How did you grapple with or did you
118
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:42.000
have to grapple with maybe letting people down and how,
119
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.000
you know, like, how did that feel, especially culturally we
120
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.279
know from the outside what culturally a lot of Indian
121
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.600
parents expect, a lot of African parents expect, you know,
122
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.040
you know, Asian parents like, we know culturally there's a
123
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.480
high expectation. And so did you worry about that at
124
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.199
that point in your life or was that that burned
125
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.680
so big that you said, hey, it doesn't matter whatever
126
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.360
people expect.
127
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.360
That's a great question. I think it was a bit
128
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:22.000
of both, to be honest, like you said, being you know, Indian,
129
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:29.319
I was always raised with the traditions expectations of you know,
130
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.560
get a good you know, get a good education, get
131
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.720
a good job, get married, have kids, and I follow
132
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.199
that really to a t right. And but you know,
133
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.040
if I think about, like, why did why do our
134
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.040
parents put those expectations on us? And that's because they
135
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.560
just want us to be safe, they want us to
136
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.160
be successful, right. And that's the same thing that happens internally,
137
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.759
is that when you start thinking about doing something new,
138
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.040
we have these inner critics in our brain going no, no, no, no,
139
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.959
I can't do that, and that's trying to keep us safe.
140
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.040
So I think the answer to that is I listened
141
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.639
to that for a while, and I lived my life
142
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.199
according to those kind of expectations for a long time.
143
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.759
But when that, you know, that inner guidance, I would say,
144
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.839
overtook that expectation, and then I wanted to really understand
145
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:26.279
who I was regardless of the outside expectations. That's when
146
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.199
it took over, you know. But I was I was
147
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.120
lucky in that. At first, my you know, my my
148
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.840
family was like, well, why would why would you do this?
149
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.200
Because you're doing really well, everything's great. Why are you
150
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.080
rocking the boat?
151
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:41.879
What's you know?
152
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.080
Even my closest friends would say that, like, we're so
153
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.240
that was a bit tough, but they were not. But
154
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.200
I have to tell you they at the end, they
155
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.240
were supportive, you know, and my immediate families actually was
156
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.679
I actually just I had just had a podcast in
157
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.759
my two hundredth episode and I was talking about this
158
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.840
when my might thank you if my kids and my
159
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.120
husband we went on a vacation and they asked me,
160
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.879
you know, what do you really want? Mom? Wow, what
161
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.000
do you really want? And that just like it just
162
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.559
opened up so much for me. It's like they're so supportive,
163
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.559
and so I would say that, you know, the lesson
164
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.679
there is that you can do things. It's it's important
165
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.519
to have that support system, you know, whether you get
166
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.799
it from me, immediate people around you, or you look
167
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.759
for it in communities or groups. It's really important. So
168
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.440
you know, you can't ignore people around you, but you
169
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.919
have to still be able to follow your voice and
170
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.840
your guess yeah, does that make sense or absolutely?
171
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.080
Absolutely? And I just love the way that your children
172
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.120
questioned you in such a thoughtful way. And that's a
173
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.600
testament obviously to your parenting, right, But how many kids
174
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.080
would say, like, mom, what do you really want? Like
175
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.720
I feel like that question is enough to like break
176
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.399
someone down.
177
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.960
Oh well, I just literally cried and my last Time
178
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.600
episode when I was recalling it because it was really true.
179
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.679
I remember it was like they're like, because I was
180
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.639
going on, I was, you know, deciding what to do,
181
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.000
and they said, okay, let's just spend the next two
182
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.519
hours like, take out a book. This is really what happened.
183
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.919
Take out a book, I note book, and let's just
184
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.279
like brainstorm all the things you could do. I'm like,
185
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.200
you boys are like incredible. You know, so.
186
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.399
How old were they at this time?
187
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.840
Oh, like early twenties.
188
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.559
Oh my gosh. I love that. That is just so
189
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.440
like caring and I know, I know, I feel like
190
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.480
that probably is something that if more people had, that
191
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.120
they would be more energized to do the things that
192
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.519
they want to do, because so many of us just
193
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.320
want to be seen and heard and understood, and someone
194
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.279
taking out the time to say, hey, let's work on
195
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.679
you and let's workshop what you want to do next.
196
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.799
I can't think of a better way to feel like
197
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.320
seen and heard and understood and loved. Oh I just
198
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.039
love your kids. I love him.
199
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.519
And actually know that you say that. It's so interesting.
200
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.360
I never really thought of it this way, and this
201
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.320
just came into my mind, is that they let me
202
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.360
be seen and heard and now this is what I'm
203
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.279
doing for others and what you're doing for others. Isn't
204
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.559
it the truth? That's what people want. People just want
205
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.360
to be seen and heard and understood.
206
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:28.399
Yeah, yeah, so right, yeah, yeah. What's one of the
207
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.080
things that in doing this work now for the past
208
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.080
but has it been like five years?
209
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:34.679
Five years?
210
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.039
Yeah, yeah, for the past five years. What's one of
211
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.440
the things that's really stood out to you in doing
212
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.159
the work with all of these women. Is it something
213
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.320
that you learned or is it something that you were
214
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.120
surprised to understand about this work in this process. I
215
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:52.519
don't know.
216
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.919
Yeah, you know, I guess I was surprised at how
217
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.399
calm and some of the challenges are with so many
218
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:07.240
women and a lot of women, you know, I mean
219
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.120
most of the women who come to me, they just
220
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.360
come because they're feeling very stuck, they're feeling very overwhelmed.
221
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.679
You know, They're very accomplished, they're really smart, they really
222
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.480
have a lot of experience, a lot of great things,
223
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.240
but they don't actually recognize how great they are. It's
224
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.559
really like they are so amazing, but they don't recognize it.
225
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.279
So I think that that's one of the things that
226
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.240
I see very common and I think the most rewarding
227
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.960
part of this work, and I don't know, I'm sure
228
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.240
you have you know, agree with.
229
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.279
Me, is.
230
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.000
Being able to really put a spotlight on somebody's life
231
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.360
and say how great, you know, bring out their strength,
232
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.080
you know, help them uncover what they're really passionate about,
233
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.960
and help them really uncover their why. And when they
234
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.240
uncover their why, then they can plans for the future.
235
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.120
And it's kind of like a transformational process where it's
236
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.600
like you can see the person like lighting up when
237
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.279
it's like, oh my god, yeah, that's actually what I
238
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.960
really want to do and ex then it's like that
239
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.799
whole process. It's like that's the first part of it,
240
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.159
and then the next part is like how do I
241
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.440
actually bring that out into the world, right. I think
242
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.399
it's the transformational process that is the most rewarding thing.
243
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.159
Is when you go through and you have somebody who
244
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.360
shines a light again on you, it gives you the
245
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840
time and space to really be understand who you are,
246
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.759
you know. I think that's the power of coaching, where
247
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.679
you have somebody who's also an accountability it's like Okay, well,
248
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.200
you said you're going to do this. Now we've figured
249
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.440
out what you're going to do and how are you
250
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.039
going to do it, and we're I'm going to, you know,
251
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:48.080
keep you accountable for that. So I think that would
252
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.759
be the most rewarding thing.
253
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.120
Yeah, I would love for you to share one of
254
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.919
the stories maybe of I guess you don't have to
255
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:04.080
be specific, but a journey that has stayed with you
256
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.159
that someone.
257
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.919
Had one of the well, actually one of my most
258
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.360
recent clients. It's really interesting because you know, I said,
259
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.120
some women come in they're feeling stuck, and they're overwhelmed
260
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.759
and often even burnt out right from what they're doing.
261
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.039
So this particular client of mine, she is brilliant. She's
262
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.120
a brilliant scientist. She has two PhDs, and she has
263
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.960
this perfect job that people from the outside would be like,
264
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.159
oh my god, this is like the dream job, right,
265
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.679
and she also felt that way, right if she feels
266
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.440
that way, and so she's been in this job for
267
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:45.480
twenty plus years. And however, I think as time goes by,
268
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.240
you know how, you just kind of continue and work
269
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.759
and you don't question it. And then she also became
270
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.919
burnt out because of the work but deeper than that,
271
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.519
she wasn't tapping into what she really wanted to do,
272
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:04.039
what she really was inside her heart. So as we
273
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.159
work through this the process of finding what I call
274
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.240
the you know what the term is the ekey guy,
275
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.720
are your reason for being? We uncovered her strengths were
276
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.000
pretty you know, easy to identify because she's a scientist,
277
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.440
she's a researcher, she's brilliant, analytical, all of that. When
278
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.559
it came down covering her passions, she realized that she
279
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:31.080
hadn't really one of her greatest passions is music and art,
280
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.399
you know, and she did that when she was a kid,
281
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.039
and she had dabbled in it a little bit in
282
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.559
the last few years, but that was her real passion.
283
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.519
And the other thing is she really valued educating young
284
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.039
girls because she has a daughter herself, on the value
285
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.519
of stam education and bringing creativity into that. So all
286
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.080
these things kind of blended into like she's like, oh
287
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.519
my god, I can do this, I can do this.
288
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.720
She started a YouTube channel, she started painting again. She
289
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.639
sold her paintings at the local you know, the library,
290
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:10.080
and she's you know, displayed them, and she started teaching
291
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.919
this instrument to her daughter's class, and she said that,
292
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.879
you know, she said, oh my god, kibta like the energy,
293
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.879
I'm just a different person. Like the energy, the positive
294
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.080
energy that has been released as just as a result
295
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.399
of me bringing this into my life has transferred into
296
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.799
my work and that now I'm like my work and
297
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.360
my relationships are better. So it's not about always giving
298
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.799
up everything, right, It's about understanding and rediscovering what's inside
299
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.919
of you already. So that's just one example of like
300
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.759
digging into what may you have you might have buried
301
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.840
in your heart or you haven't done, and just uncovering that.
302
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.320
Ooh, I know it's getting good. But we'll be right
303
00:16:54.360 --> 00:17:01.879
back after we hear from our sponsors. If you had
304
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.319
one clear action item that you wanted to share with
305
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.720
people about figuring out their why, what would that be?
306
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.960
Because I know that that sentiment of letting your why
307
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.920
be your north star and understanding your why it is
308
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.680
heavily out there, right, But I don't think there's as
309
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.400
much conversation around how do you get to your why?
310
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.759
And I know that it can be a long process
311
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.920
for some people, and some people it's a little bit easier.
312
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.480
But do you have any advice or maybe one thing
313
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.880
that you like to share about helping people figure out
314
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.440
their why.
315
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:49.720
That's really the probably the biggest part of my coaching
316
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.359
that I do. That's the whole first part of it.
317
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.359
I would say that the biggest thing is to give
318
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.119
yourself the space and the time and mission to figure
319
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.119
that out. And yes, for some people it takes longer
320
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.119
than others, but give yourself the permission and the grace
321
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:16.160
to understand that. And the process is you know that
322
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.000
I went through, the I take my clients through. It
323
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.200
is a step by step process of finding or why.
324
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:28.039
It is determining your strengths. It is determining what are
325
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.039
you really passionate about through a step by step process.
326
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.759
It is about determining what you really value, and it's
327
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.440
about determining what does the world need right now that
328
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.799
you can you contribute your unique skills and talent and
329
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.480
passions towards that, Like what do you think is missing
330
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:51.440
in the world that you can uniquely provide? And once
331
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.359
you determine that, it's a fuel for you. It's at
332
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:58.400
that positive fuel, positive anabolic energy that grits created that
333
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.319
all of a sudden things will come to you. People
334
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.920
will come to you ironically. It seems ironic, but it's
335
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.039
actually not. It's a law of attraction. It's it's people
336
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.920
coming to you because you've put it out there. You've
337
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.000
actually once you put your your why out there, once
338
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.839
you actually internalize it and believe that you can do it,
339
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.119
uncanny things happen, and it happened to me, and they
340
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.480
happen to countless people that I've worked with. And it's
341
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.880
so I would say long answer to the question, but
342
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.799
the first part of it is giving yourself the permission
343
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.200
to understand your why because it don't expect it to
344
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.319
take one day like it's it's it's an ongoing process,
345
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:44.119
and we and why changes also throughout our lives. Yeah,
346
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.359
so it's not stagnant, it's it's it's it's it's an
347
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.039
ongoing process of determination.
348
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.920
Yeah. I'm glad you pointed that out because I think
349
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.960
that takes some of the pressure off of figuring it
350
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.160
out right. A lot of times you're figuring out your why,
351
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.880
you feel like it's this one thing, this one conclusion
352
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.039
that you need to come to, and then you're married
353
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.759
to that conclusion forever we all know, mate.
354
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.680
So yeah, and it could be many wise, it could
355
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.720
be more than one, why, right, Like it could be
356
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.079
many things like my wives to be a great mother
357
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:17.960
or wife, you know whatever, and our and it could
358
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.839
be to be uh, you know, to to help transfer
359
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.000
a lot transform lives. There's different whys you have. It's
360
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.039
not like one and neither that's it, like you know,
361
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.240
so it's it's evolving and there could be more than one.
362
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.400
But it's around who you really are uniquely to you
363
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.640
and it's about determining that, right mm hmm.
364
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.880
In wrapping up, I would love to know. Trailing off
365
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:49.200
from our whys, what do you think about success specifically
366
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:55.519
with relation to yourself? What is your definition of success
367
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.240
for you? And do you feel like you've reached that
368
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.960
level of success that you're aiming to work?
369
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:08.359
I think success is individual, for sure, you know I
370
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.960
and I think my definition of success has changed dramatically,
371
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.519
Like as I said before, when I was in the
372
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.519
corporate world, do you know there's outward expressions of success.
373
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.319
You know, whatever level of career you're in, you know,
374
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.359
a director, you know, vice VP, whatever, right, and you
375
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.519
strive for that and there's nothing wrong with that if
376
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:35.279
that is your definition of success. That was and that
377
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.880
change when I realized that that's not what would make
378
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:43.480
me feulfilled. My definition of success is really being able
379
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:49.559
to help transform as many lives as possible through what
380
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.119
the work that I do. And I don't put a
381
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.920
number on it. I don't put a monetary thing on it.
382
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.839
It's more about being putting my best efforts out there
383
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.799
and having people attract people to me who need my help,
384
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.400
because not everybody needs my help, not but not everyone
385
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.079
is aligned with me, you know. It's who's aligned with me,
386
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.720
who attracts who's attracted to me, and how can we
387
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.799
work together to make their lives more meaningful. So it's
388
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.240
about changing lives and helping people. I know it sounds
389
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.680
very woo wu, but that's really what it is. It's
390
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.680
really it's changed, you know, the value it It's all
391
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.160
about my values that have changed, you know. So my
392
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.880
definite success is really not monetary, and that comes like
393
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.799
monetary success comes if you're doing something that aligns with
394
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.000
your why it's it's if you focus only on the outcome,
395
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.359
or like the monetary outcome, or like, oh I have
396
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.599
to get to this level. I think it's a moving target.
397
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.240
If you really do every day, you really are meant
398
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:07.160
to do with full passion and excitement and energy, then
399
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.200
the results will follow.
400
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.880
Love it, love it, Love it, Kavida, this has been
401
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.599
