Hello Velocity

Thank you to for returning to the Hello Velocity podcast!

With the job market continuing to evolve, and seeing so many people being laid off or struggling to find a job, I knew she was the person to talk through it with.

In this week's episode we discuss:
✅ There's been a huge pendulum swing in the job market in the last few years that has many workers feeling job insecure.

✅ If you do get laid off, you can manage your post-layoff anxiety by avoiding doom-scrolling, recognizing and replacing catastrophic thoughts, and collecting compliments.

✅ Nicole emphasizes relationship-building over relying only on applications, and recommends limiting resume tailoring to a few versions to reduce job-search burnout.

🎧 Season three, episode eleven of the Hello Velocity podcast now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Are you waiting until you're completely drained before you refill your own cup?

Recently one of my clients was sharing how she got completely burnt out recently after several busy weeks at work plus weekend obligations with friends and family.

Knowing she had another busy season coming up she wanted to talk through ideas of how to prep before and afterwards so that she could enjoy a big family weekend without feeling completely drained afterwards.

I challenged her, "what are you going to do for yourself during the weekend to keep your cup filled?"

She hadn't even thought about that.

So we brainstormed some new ideas of what are those little moments or activities that recharge her, even if it's 5 minutes alone in the morning with your coffee, sneaking away for a quiet walk outside, or going to bed early to read so you can maintain your energy.

Committing to and maintaining boundaries like this sound so simple but can be so hard in the moment. We want to spend time with our loved ones, but we tend to forget to take care of ourselves during the process. Then we're exhausted after a weekend of fun and have to somehow still focus at work on Monday.

As we're approaching the busy summer season - what commitments do you need to make with yourself, for yourself, to maintain your energy to enjoy your weekends to the fullest?
