Beste Self Control podcasts (2024)

Sup babes. Today we're talkin' control - what it feels like when you have it and what it feels like when you don't. And how to regain a sense of control when you lose it. Let's be real - when control is taken away from you it can feel like you're a child who had their toys taken away. Any feedback feels like you're whining and you can't figure out …

Like no one is having a good time right now. What with the.... state of the US government, the world, and trying to get back to normal when things aren't normal, companies haven't figured out how to adjust and create employee engagement programs without culture being implied by an office. And it's starting to show with the great resignation, everyo…

2+ y ago28:27

28:27

So you got laid off. That fucking sucks. We would never deny that and think you should go through the 5 stages of grief before you're really ready to figure out what comes next. But whenever you feel like you're ready to figure out what comes next for you, it can feel foreboding, scary, unknown, alone. Here's the great news, you're not alone. Being…

2+ y ago7:18

Don't even lie - you don't either. Listen the 8 hour work day/40 hour work week was created for factory lines to get the most out of the workers as possible.

3:41

Dudes. Like. We have so much time to figure it out. To figure out what we want our next move to be. To figure out what our career should look like. To figure out what we're going to focus on at work next quarter. Big things don't happen in 24 hours. Big things happen over weeks, months, and years. It's ok to have shitty days and shitty weeks.

2+ y ago8:16

8:16

Basically - fake it till you make it. People newer to the working world, and especially underrepresented minorities in the workplace, aren't as likely to act like they're levels above what they actually are in the workplace. But that's exactly what we should all be doing - managing up, faking it until we make it, doing the job we want before we get…

Hot Take #21: You Have To Suss Out Company Culture 6:32

3y ago6:32

6:32

Because these founders out here are kinda wild fam. Inevitably, when you join a startup or even a mid-size company, the culture is going to be created by the founders. Whether that's good or bad is another question. What you want to look out for is founders, senior leaders, or hiring managers who don't talk about culture, because then you know it's…

Hot Take #20: Being Active On Social Media Doesn't Make You Good At Your Job 5:51

3y ago5:51

5:51

Ok so here's the thing. We've all seen some straight up DUMB takes on social media that have gotten way too much engagement.

Let's be real homies, not everyone is motivated the same way. If you're just looking to hire people who are motivated the way you are, your company's going to straight up implode.

Alright here's the deal fam: We're not going to be that generation that just stays at a toxic, slow moving/dead end job for 35 years.

Burnout sucks absolute butt. It usually means you're onto some sort of large growth path but right now you're straight up not having a good time.

Hot Take #11: The Company Doesn't Care About You 6:39

4y ago6:39

6:39

It's a tough pill to swallow but here it is: Your company doesn't care as much about you as you may think. Companies exist to make money, not to build your career path for you, so ultimately you will need to learn how to be your best and biggest cheerleader. Having the confidence to know you're a bad bitch can help you find the context around why d…

Basically Sara cries in this one and Bridget's a fucking angel. But seriously, career growth and professional development isn't cute and pretty and rainbows and butterflies all the time.
