    42: Burnout to Breakthrough: My Journey of Recovery, Self-Discovery, and Why I Help Women Thrive

    In September 2013, I was having the time of my life but burned the most important budget I had; my own health. I was project managing a dream project. The idea was my own, and I got to run with it - Spotify style.  Everything would have been perfect if it wasn’t for my own health.  At the age of 27, when the project was finished, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I had burned out and was left a wreck.  I absolutely loved my job, but I had no idea how to take care of myself. The recovery took many years but eventually, it led me to what I do today. For this, I am incredibly grateful.  I decided to share my story, to help others not end up where I did, or seek support, for themselves, a colleague, or a loved one if they can relate. Or get inspiration to what’s possible even if it seems really dark at the time.  I talk about my own burnout story, the background, the symptoms, the transformation, and the learnings.  I also share how this led me to become a wellbeing and performance coach for women leaders and how I support my clients today.  This episode was released for the first time exactly one year ago, but I decided to release it again, on the day, 11 years after my burnout, as it had a lot of downloads and is still as relevant today.

    41: It’s Your Turn: How to Empower Yourself Through Self-Investment

    I’m going to say something bold now, but with a lot of love. You have only scratched the surface of your own potential. And this is true for all of us. When we peel off the layers of stress, exhaustion, anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, controlling, self-doubt, and a whole lot of limiting beliefs and stories - MAGIC happens. I also see incredible shifts and results happening with my clients every day. They recognize things within themselves that they had no idea existed and find strength and confidence way beyond their imagination. And I know what you are capable of. So what would be possible for YOU, if you peeled off a bunch of things, stories, and layers that you didn’t need? Let’s talk about that, and why investing in yourself is one of the most empowering things you can do. I also share the amazing results of one of my clients who just completed her program.

    39: From Idea to Impact: Leading Innovation with Confidence & Creativity with Sofie Lindblom

    I’m so excited for this third season, kickstarting by talking to the innovation leader, entrepreneur, board professional, TED-X speaker, and creator Sofie Lindblom. Sofie and I first met at Spotify in 2013, where she quickly advanced to lead the global innovation team. Over the past decade, she has continued to lead innovation initiatives across many roles and organizations such as H&M, Kronans Apotek, and Electrolux. As an entrepreneur, she is the founder and former CEO of ideation360, a digital platform designed to streamline the collection and management of ideas. In 2020, she launched her second venture, SPCE, to create the world's first digital salesroom to digitize the customer relationship between organizations and reduce their carbon footprint. Currently, Sofie is the Chief Product Officer at SPCE, leading the product and development teams. She has been named one of the 100 most influential women in business, one of Sweden's 100 future female leaders, and one of the 50 most inspiring women in the European technology industry. In this conversation, we talk about the need for more women in tech, how to get into boards rooms, creativity, stress, and the negative correlation between innovation and back-to-back meetings. We also dive into doing things she is scared of and how she works with mindset and confidence on stage. On top of that, we explore the definition of success and the challenges of being a founder. And of course, my favourite topic, Sustainable High Performance. She’s a woman of many hats, to say the least, and this episode is packed. I hope you will enjoy listening!

    37: 5 Quick Ways to Reduce Stress & Take Back Control

    One of my coaches once said, the difference between panic and excitement is the exhalation.  And it’s so true.  A normal reaction to stress is to hold your breath, or breathe very shallow.  But when you are excited, the exhalation usually comes a bit more easily.  And that exhalation can be such a game changer.  Short-term stress responses are a natural part of life, and something that you can’t avoid even if you would love to.  But, long-term chronic stress is not something to take lightly as the consequences of that will affect you in a number of negative ways.  I know this does not come as a surprise to you and I’m sure you are very aware of it.  But what can you do to reduce the stress reactions?  In this episode I will go through five ways that will support you to handle stress better and feel more in control.  Other episodes mentioned or related to stress/stress symptoms/sleep/meditation/relaxation: 34: 15 Healthy Habits to Better Sleep and Higher Performance 28: The Breath of Success: Unlocking Energy and Efficiency in Minutes 17: The Positive Effects of Meditation on Performance, Productivity & Wellbeing 12: How to Know When to Pull the Brake, Part 1 (Physical & Emotional Symptoms of Chronic Stress) Find the show notes and other resources at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast. -------------------- Find all episodes & show notes at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast.

    35: 6 Strategies to Reduce Self-Critical Thoughts and Become More Confident

    Are you your own harshest critic or your own best friend?  Or maybe a combination of the two?  Shifting from self-criticism to more self-compassion is one of the most important shifts you need to make to get to the next level, both in life and in your career.  It’s true, constantly beating yourself up or down for everything you do, or don’t do, is not serving you or your purpose on this earth.  I know you have so many talents and super powers, but still this feeling of not-enoughness kicks in.  It’s very natural and normal but I know it holds you back from reaching your potential and going after your dreams.  What can you do about it?  This episode is all about that; giving you concrete tools on how to switch negative thoughts so you can feel better, perform better, become more present and focus your energy on the things that matter. I will also talk about the consequences of letting that inner critic stay loud.  Find the show notes and other resources at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast  Other episodes mentioned: 20: Boost Your Mental Fitness: A Guide to Conquering Inner Critics 25: Mind Matters: Transforming Beliefs for Peak Performance and Wellbeing Link to LinkedIn Post mentioned -------------------- Find all episodes & show notes at sofiavoncelsing.com/podcast.
