Ever since I left corporate, it's been a challenge for me to let go of that corporate mindset - Monday to Friday, all or nothing mentality.

I've always struggled with Monday's, getting the dreaded Sunday scaries (I'm sure many of you can relate).

I've been working on shifting this mindset - really striving to own my Mondays & make them mine.

The last few weeks I have embraced allowing my Mondays to be exactly what I need them to be for ME.

A day to ground myself and ease into the work week vs. hustle hustle hustle. This has really allowed me to show up how I want to show up Tuesday to Friday, and own my week!

And I'm here for it!

What about you? What are your thoughts on Gentle Mondays? Tune in to this episode as I talk about the concept of incorporating a schedule - time and energy - that works for you and is in alignment with how you want to feel. Regardless of what your work environment looks like.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The transition from corporate to entrepreneurship is very much an identity shift;
• Hustle culture and how it sets certain expectations on us that lead us to living on someone else's terms rather than our own;
• Perfectionism plays a role in the hustle culture, grooming us into how we "need/should" be;
• Boundaries are guiding posts to being true to ourselves;
• Being true to ourselves may lead to uncomfortable emotions, and that is ok - we need to allow those feelings to be present;
• How we need to give ourselves permission to own our time and energy;
• We have to be willing to test it out - trial and error - to see what works and what doesn't work, what feels most aligned to us;
• It is OK to own your "lazy".
