A podcast for women rising - not just in title, but in self. ​Unlearning in Progress is a podcast for women who did everything “right” - earned the titles, checked the boxes, read the books, took the trainings, and did what they were told. But there’s now a feeling that they can’t shake and are now left wondering, “So why doesn’t this feel like success?” ​ Hosted by two recovering perfectionists and corporate veterans, Jaime Waterfield and Angela Cope unpack the parts of leadership no one puts on LinkedIn: the doubts behind the confidence, the burnout behind the ambition, the growth that doesn’t come with a promotion, and the exploration of self.  ​ Each episode explores what it looks like to rise, not just in title, but in self. Through real talk, lived experience, and lessons learned the hard way. Jaime and Angela are on a mission to keep learning, growing, and teaching others how to lead with more self-trust, less performance pressure, and zero apology for wanting a career and a life. ​ If you’re an aspiring or emerging leader who wants to succeed without losing yourself in the process, you’re in the right place. ​

    Why ‘Doing Everything Right’ Feels Wrong

    In the inaugural episode of "Unlearning in Progress," co-hosts Jaime Waterfield and Angela Cope delve into the complexities of success, particularly for women who have achieved traditional markers of success yet feel unfulfilled.  They explore the societal narratives surrounding ambition and worth, emphasizing that true success often diverges from external validation.  The conversation highlights the importance of internal alignment and personal growth, suggesting that success should be redefined as a feeling rather than a checklist of accomplishments.  Jaime shares her journey of realizing that despite her professional achievements, she felt unhappy and disconnected, prompting her to seek mindfulness and self-awareness. Angela echoes this sentiment, discussing how childhood conditioning shapes our perceptions of success and the necessity of unlearning these ingrained beliefs to find genuine fulfillment.
