00:02:07.659 --> 00:02:11.419
in the healthcare industry. You've gotten to
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:16.879
high heights in terms of your level in these
00:02:16.879 -->

00:02:20.580
organizations. And you've seen, I mean, I'm sure
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:24.000
you've been this woman, right yourself. I'm sure
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.939
you've seen a lot of women in the corporate space
00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:33.939
who are high achieving women, but they feel like
00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:37.419
they're always having to prove themselves, even
00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:41.039
after years of success. So why do you think that
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:46.219
happens to us women? Oh, goodness. Well, the
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:49.479
center so many of us grow up and with the belief
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.659
that, you know, our worth and who we are is tied
00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:56.520
into just that we get praised for, you know,
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.000
our achievements for pushing through getting
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.280
through no matter what we have on our plate.
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.860
and that becomes our identity. Even when we're
00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:07.039
already successful, there's that inner voice
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.979
that's saying, don't slow down. They're not going
00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:11.719
to notice you. You got to keep moving. You got
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.280
to keep doing more. It's 100 % exhausting. And
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.460
because of constantly running for validation,
00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:22.520
that doesn't actually make us feel fulfilled
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.840
at all. So when somebody stops chasing that validation
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.530
and really starts um standing grounded in their
00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:36.229
own worth what shifts or rather what needs to
00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:38.849
shift in order for this woman to get there instead
00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:43.009
of asking yourself you know what i call the chatter
00:03:43.009 --> 00:03:46.849
in your head is am i enough i'm doubting i'm
00:03:46.849 --> 00:03:48.729
questioning and then that light switch gets turned
00:03:48.729 --> 00:03:52.110
on and you say i am enough And here's how I want
00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:54.849
to contribute. You make the decision differently
00:03:54.849 --> 00:03:58.550
and you say yes, because it aligns and people
00:03:58.550 --> 00:04:01.490
respond to you differently. They actually respect
00:04:01.490 --> 00:04:04.810
you more when you stop over proving and start
00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:11.150
owning your true value. Yep. Yeah. And it's a
00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:13.370
really scary thing to do if this is something
00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:17.310
that you've done your whole life or maybe career.
00:04:17.930 --> 00:04:22.740
Yes. What do you say to women who are like, you
00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:26.180
know, feeling like, hey, if I, if I make this
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:30.079
shift, if I start to pull back from over giving
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:36.779
or make myself a priority more, right? Uh, what
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:40.019
if the things that I have worked so hard for,
00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:44.699
I, I start to lose them, right? Like that. I
00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:49.620
think that that is the main, um, Question in
00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:51.939
the minds of a woman who's over giving right?
00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:56.740
Like I've worked so hard for this and Now that
00:04:56.740 --> 00:04:59.939
I'm at this level whether it's you know financially
00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:04.620
or Professionally, I can't stop right? This is
00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:08.740
this is the only speed I know this is the only
00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.899
Way, I know how to show up. So what do you say
00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:16.540
to that? Start by asking yourself a simple question
00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:21.490
And that would be, if I wasn't trying to prove
00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:27.689
myself right now, how would I handle this? It
00:05:27.689 --> 00:05:31.550
changes everything. Maybe you delegate more.
00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:37.449
Maybe you learn to say no. Maybe you do the project
00:05:37.449 --> 00:05:39.850
in a simpler way. You find a different technique,
00:05:40.230 --> 00:05:44.410
a different avenue. That one pause creates space.
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:50.660
For you to act from a sense of confidence Not
00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:54.180
from fear not from fear being not recognized
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.160
or if I say no something's gonna happen And then
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.439
when you consistently show up grounded like that
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.740
people see you differently they start responding
00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:07.980
to you differently not because you did more but
00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:11.199
because you owned your place in the room and
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.199
you have a better understanding of your true
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.439
value and your worth. So is there one example
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.220
that you can give us about yourself, you know,
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.360
in your career where you were able to make this
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.120
shift? In the one area that I was in for over
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.600
17 years, I found myself being that woman that
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.040
was on an executive level, but feeling that I
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.860
had to continue putting the 16 to 18 hour days
00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:42.839
in. and not questioning anything else that I
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.740
had to do in my mind that if I didn't do those
00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:51.740
things, I wouldn't be recognized or let me rephrase
00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:54.740
that. I would go back and say to myself, Jolinda,
00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:57.639
there's 20 other people in line waiting for your
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.300
job. You must do more continuously. But when
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:06.139
I did that, Sandra, I started to lose who I was.
00:07:06.750 --> 00:07:09.569
I started to lose my own identity. I started
00:07:09.569 --> 00:07:12.529
to lose
my purpose. And what drove me to do what
00:07:12.529 --> 00:07:15.930
I was doing? What was the reasoning behind or
00:07:15.930 --> 00:07:20.970
the rationale behind it? So the mantra that I
00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:23.810
always go off of is, you know, do more, be more
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:26.870
and have more. But you do all that without losing
00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:30.310
yourself. And what does that really mean? And
00:07:30.310 --> 00:07:34.670
it's being able to make sure things are aligned
00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:38.399
with you. And that just keeps you busy and be
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.139
more grounded on who you really are and what
00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:47.519
truly reflects your values. And are you saying
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.939
the things that you live bigger and fuller without
00:07:50.939 --> 00:07:54.819
sacrificing yourself? In the process, you don't
00:07:54.819 --> 00:07:57.000
have to disappear under the weight of your own
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.860
success. And I always go back to the word of
00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.139
dignity. Your dignity will always be intact.
00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:07.860
So always in the back of your mind, there are
00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:12.240
people waiting for my job, right? I have to be
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.379
the best or I have to overwork or I have to over
00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:20.540
give and losing yourself, like losing the reason
00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:23.319
why you even loved the work that you're doing
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:28.000
anyway, right? So when you lose that, when you
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.420
lose the why, that's when I think things start
00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:35.250
to You know you start to see things happen on
00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:38.889
a physical level maybe even like the you know
00:08:38.889 --> 00:08:44.429
emotional or spiritual level and Yeah, and and
00:08:44.429 --> 00:08:46.990
I think that's one of the reasons why there are
00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:49.850
so many women struggling with you know and on
00:08:49.850 --> 00:08:53.490
those levels So thank you for sharing that I
00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:57.049
know that You know the corporate woman you've
00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:00.950
been her you've been at every level and in corporate
00:09:01.389 --> 00:09:05.450
So if you could give us one little nugget to
00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:14.889
take away, what would that be? Find your true
00:09:14.889 --> 00:09:18.409
authentic self. So when I say to you here right
00:09:18.409 --> 00:09:20.690
now, what are you going to do? What are you going
00:09:20.690 --> 00:09:23.970

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.019
guidance, wanting, you know, some handholding,
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.480
wanting some clarity, whether she's a business
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.460
woman, you know, has her own business or is a
