    11 Things High Earning Professionals Do Differently

    The Highest Paid People at Work Do These 11 Things Your senior leaders have never seen your spreadsheets. But they remember who presented with confidence in the last meeting. Hard work alone doesn't get you promoted. In this solo episode of Your Next Level, I share the 11 things I've seen the highest paid, fastest promoted people do differently, from years of working in people and leadership and sitting in the rooms where promotion decisions get made. In this episode: - Why promotable work matters more than your job description - The invisible tasks quietly holding women back - Becoming the person leaders trust to get things done - Thinking like a problem solver, not "this is how we've always done it" - Why visibility isn't bragging - The communication and presenting skills executives notice - Why gossipers don't get promoted - Emotional intelligence and staying calm under pressure - The one question to ask your manager about your next level - How to ask for feedback without looking for validation This week's challenge: pick one habit and act on it before Friday. Then DM me and tell me which one you chose.

    You’re Not Lazy, You’re Burnt Out | Shayne Fraser-Bierman

    You’re tired all the time. You’ve lost your spark. You keep telling yourself to push harder, be more disciplined, just get through this busy season. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if you’re burnt out? In this episode of Your Next Level, I sit down with Shayne Fraser-Bierman, a burnout prevention and resilience coach, founder of WellnessMamma, and a two-time burnout survivor. After 25 years in retail, including 20 years in beauty retail and leadership, Shayne’s second burnout forced her to rethink what success really costs when we constantly put ourselves last. We talk about the early warning signs high achievers miss, why so many of us burn out more than once, and how leaders can create healthier ways of working. Shayne also shares how women can trust their voices, honour their needs, and pursue meaningful success without losing themselves along the way. If you’ve been running on empty and calling it ambition, this conversation is for you. In this episode: Shayne’s journey through two burnouts, and what finally changedThe difference between being tired and being burnt outThe early warning signs most high achievers ignoreWhat leaders can do to protect their teamsHow to rebuild your capacity without giving up your ambitionTrusting your voice and honouring your needs 🌿 Find ShayneWebsite: https://wellnessmammalife.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayne-fraser-bierman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraserams/?hl=en ✨ Connect with InsaafInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/insaaf_daniels/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/insaafdaniels/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insaaf_danielsBecoming Unstoppable Journal: https://insaafdaniels.com/journalWant to be a guest?

    Ambition, Motherhood & Choosing Yourself | Katie Trexler on Your Next LevelWhat do you tell your daughter about the choices you've made as a woman and a mother?Katie Trexler seemed to have it all. She was an Emmy Award-winning TV news anchor in Denver, with a loving husband, healthy twins and a picture-perfect life in the suburbs.

Her debut memoir, *What Do I Tell My Daughter?*, is a powerful reminder that sacrifice isn't the same as love, and that you can redefine success at any stage of life.If you've ever felt torn between ambition and family, or wondered whether you've lost yourself along the way, this conversation is for you.In this episode:- Life at the anchor desk, and what success meant back then- The decision to walk away from her career- What nobody tells you about giving up your income and identity- Naming resentment, and what it taught her- Equality in relationships beyond splitting chores- Reclaiming your voice and confidence- The advice she'd give her daughter about ambition, money and love📖 Find Katie TrexlerWebsite: https://www.katietrexler.com Book: What Do I Tell My Daughter?*https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/What-Do-I-Tell-My-Daughter/Katie-Trexler/9798896361640Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katietrexlermclean?mdxt=MXB2YXl6NWYzd2IzNg== ✨ Connect with InsaafInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/insaaf_daniels/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/insaafdaniels/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insaaf_danielsBecoming Unstoppable Journal: https://insaafdaniels.com/journalWant to be a guest?

    Change the way you dress

    What if your wardrobe is still dressing for a version of you that you’ve already outgrown? Before you get dressed tomorrow, I want you to ask yourself one question: “What am I trying to communicate?” Because the way you dress is about so much more than fashion. In this episode of the Your Next Level Podcast, we’re talking about identity, self-concept and the power of dressing in alignment with the woman you are becoming. The woman who is stepping into the room differently. The woman with higher standards. The woman who knows what she wants to be known for. The woman who is no longer dressing, behaving or making decisions from an outdated version of herself. This isn't about designer labels, trends or dressing for other people. It's about alignment. If you put something on and it doesn't feel consistent with where you're going, maybe it doesn't belong in your next chapter. So before you reach for that outfit, ask yourself: ✨ Who am I becoming?✨ What do I want to be known for?✨ Does the way I show up reflect her? Because your next level isn't just about achieving more. It's about becoming someone who naturally makes choices that match the life she's creating. 🎧 Listen now and then go get dressed like you mean it.
