So you survived the interview process and got the job, but what’s next? In this week’s Asking For a Friend, we’re tackling a question from one of our listeners that’s especially relevant now in the time of the Great Resignation: How do I crush it at a new job?
With the added pressure of making a good impression and hitting the ground running, it can be hard to find your bearings and feel comfortable in a new environment. Luckily, Cailyn has been going through this exact experience after recently starting a new job, and she’s ready to spill the tea on how to start with a bang.
Join us as we chat about:
Our past experience playing small at work
Ways to overcome impostor syndrome in your new role
Tips for your first month on the job (and should you creep colleagues in advance??)
How to show confidence and establish yourself as a leader
Fitting in with the company culture while still being your authentic self
Setting healthy boundaries while proving your commitment and work ethic
We hope this episode helps you slay your first few weeks, and huge congrats to our listener on her new role! If you have any burning questions for us and you want to get us in the hot seat, DM or email us your Qs and we’ll dive into them in an upcoming Asking For A Friend.

How are those big new years goals going? Are you holding steady, or losing steam? As we reach the neverending finish line of January, we’re hitting the point where a lot of us will lose that momentum. You might start looking for all of the evidence of why those goals weren’t actually possible or worth it. That’s self-sabotage… and we’re not doing that shit this year, so we called in the incredible Lori Harder to teach us how to make quantum leaps towards becoming the person we want to be in 2024.

Even with all of the books, classes and advice, nothing can truly prepare you for the changes that come with motherhood. Those first postpartum months are overwhelming and joyous and exhausting and confusing and affirming, and most of the time we look back and wonder how it could have gone by so quickly.

Life can be complicated AF and everyone needs support along the way…so why is it so hard to ask for it? For most of us, the tendency to keep things bottled in and not ask for help has been reinforced over time, especially in cultures that value independence and “success”. Spoiler alert: it isn’t doing us any good. On the plus side, vulnerability and asking for help are two skills that can be learned, and class is now in session!
The more adulting we do, the more we realize how essential getting good quality sleep is to literally every aspect of our lives. From our physical health to our mood and mindset, sleep is the key to solving a whole lot of our problems. We’re sick of burning the candle at both ends and tossing and turning each night, and we’re not alone: the past few decades have seen a downward trend in the quality and quantity of sleep that people are getting. So… let’s talk about sleep, baby!
Our limiting beliefs get the best of us sometimes, and it’s something that so many of us struggle with in life and at work. The truth is, we can’t always trust the things we tell ourselves.
