With so much changing around COVID-19 this week, we want to provide a mental break and consciously direct your attention back to YOU and your personal growth, evolution, and success. Our show is dedicated to contemplating experiences that you might be going through as you age to give you a sense of support, understanding, and perspective - so very "big picture". We always aim to take a look from 1000 feet back to consider longer term and bigger picture why we're feeling a certain way or what we can do about it. So we should do the same thing here with what's going on in the world right now. There's so much fear, confusion, and attention on COVID-19, and although we both believe it is our individual civic responsibility to stay informed and take actions with the things we can control, we also believe having balance, and thinking about the impact on our mental health is just as important. As content creators in times like these, we see it as our responsibility to either add to the conversation or intentionally distract from it, so that's what today is. Take the next 30 minutes for yourself and reflect on something you might have been thinking about weeks before this pandemic hit, and you'll be thinking about after we get through it.

Show Notes

Today we're talking about pivoting. We all seem to experience it - the feeling of needing to pivot our careers and life trajectory in this decade. At first, it might seem like this is the decade to do the opposite; settle down, start a family, buy a house, become more and more experienced and settled in our careers. The combination of knowing ourselves just that little bit better mixed with the realization that our life is ours to control and we don't want to waste it doing things we don't love, we see far more people change careers and start new businesses in their 30's to go down a completely different path than they were previously marching down. Here to chat with us about created that shift is Carey Dillen, the President of Canada's largest network of yoga studios, YYOGA. Carey started with her CPA designation heading straight for a lucrative successful career in corporate finance, and after a number of great years she pivoted her career to something she felt more passionate and connected to. Among many other things, she was part of the core team that made the Vancouver 2010 Olympics happen, before coming to YYOGA and implementing the strongest female leadership team the company has ever seen while expanding across the country. She's a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration to anyone looking to climb their way through the corporate world with intention, passion, and no fear.
