    I'm Gambling With his Future - Ep 28

    Today's guest is Scherrie Prince, a U.S. attorney who helps entrepreneurs build a secure foundation by merging their business plans with their estate plans. As a single mother who went to law school with two young kids and built her own practice from the ground up, Scherrie knows firsthand the intense pressures of balancing business and family. She takes us back to a daytime soccer field 12 years ago, where she sat in the stands trying to cheer on her young son while her phone buzzed with potential client calls. We question the heavy belief she carried in that moment: "I'm gambling with my child's future." Scherrie describes the tension between securing her family’s financial survival and providing emotional presence, and as she questions this thought she gets to a place of peace and clarity. The technique of self inquiry that I, your host Sarah Climenhaga, practice with my guests uses questions based on The Work of Byron Katie. You can learn more about this powerful method at thework.com. To connect with Cheri, find her on LinkedIn at @Scherriespeaks This is the final episode of Your Thoughts at Work. I am exploring new frontiers of my own mind using The Work as well as some research into neuroscience and evolutionary biology. The mind is a fascinating place and the more we understand it, the easier our journey through life becomes! If you would like to keep up with what I am doing next, please reach out to me.

    I have so much to do - Ep 25

    In today's world, it can feel like life is one long to-do list and there's no real place to rest. I recently started reading a book called Making Time by Maria Bowler, which explores this constant pressure as more than just a personal problem. She points to it as a kind of inherited belief, something shaped by culture, religion, and industry that many of us never stopped a question. That got me curious about my own relationship with time and productivity, so I turned inward and explored my own to-do list. This episode's belief is "I have so much to do". I explored it not as a productivity problem to solve or something to manage better, but as a thought to question, a thought that creates pressure, false urgency, and a kind of low grade panic. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, I invite you to listen along as you discover your own insights along with mine. ****** "Your Thoughts at Work" is a podcast that explores explore the beliefs that shape our experience of work, life and sometimes, our whole identity.

    Texas attorney Matthew Meredith reminds us that no matter how much experience or success we have, old fears can still show up that create havoc in our minds. He explores the stressful thought, “I’m going to look bad.” It’s a familiar fear that dates back to high school and shows up whenever he’s on the verge of something new. Through self-inquiry, Matthew discovers that the harsh standards he applies to himself are ones he would never use on others. And instead of battling the anxious voice in his mind, he begins to meet it with a reminder of past successes, and even a little gratitude. ***** On "Your Thoughts at Work" we explore the beliefs that shape our experience of work, and sometimes, our whole identity.

    I Need To Give Value To My Audience - Ep 21

    How do you create for other people when they only see a fraction of what you do? On this episode, my guest Prince George, from Warzone Comics, discusses the challenges of producing for an audience and shares how he values his own work.  My conversation with Prince George didn’t follow the normal format I use here on Your Thoughts at Work, and I found myself experiencing my own stress as a result. So after my interview with him, I did my own self inquiry on the same thought he and I discussed: “I need to give value to my audience”.
