Satisfactionist Live Satisfactionist Podcast

There are often times in one’s career when they must put the work ahead of many other things in life. Sometimes, though I am not proud of it, there has been a need to put work ahead of family. Other times there is a need to put work ahead of other things that bring you joy. What happens though when a person has multiple things they are invested in that are a priority? How does one manage the challenges of career obligations and still meet all the personal demands of home life along with a desire to continue the recreational things you enjoy?

For many, I don’t think these struggles are unique; however, I do find that few people are willing to talk about it. For those with highly visible careers, I believe the avoidance of talking about these issues is due to the unwillingness to show vulnerabilities, especially when one’s personal brand is that they can do it all.

So what happens when your work obligations become so intense that you need to take a longer than expected break from something you love? In this episode Danyelle and I explore the challenges of keeping up with Satisfactionist Live while also ensuring top priorities are addressed. I also open up about some personal matters that have caused me to internalize and inwardly analyze; and how tends that can resonate in the work that I do. I share with Danyelle the feelings of vulnerability one has to not only talk about these things with a coach but to then put those things out there for the world to hear on a podcast. However, despite my own hesitation, I think that topics like these are important to address and share as it may be of benefit to others.

I hope you enjoy this latest growth coaching session with Danyelle and I. Please feel free to leave us feedback and if you think there is something out there who can benefit from the things we discuss, share this episode with them. We would greatly appreciate it.

After an unplanned extended break, Satisfactionist Live is back; well, kind of. The live show is still a few weeks away from starting up again but during our hiatus we have continued recording episodes of our docuseries Growth Coaching with Danyelle Jinks. Over the next few weeks we will be releasing a new episode each week until we are back to our live shows.

So, why did the show get put on pause? We address some of the reasons why in this episode of Growth Coaching but suffice it to say; in February, Satisfactionist Live was forced to take an extended break due to a number of professional priorities that needed to be addressed. While creating content and having interesting dialog is a constant passion of mine, it is also important that I first meet the professional obligations I have committed to and are the core of my livelihood. Although my break was longer than anticipated, I was happy to be able to continue recording episodes of Growth Coaching and look forward to sharing with our Satisfactionist Live audience how a professional coaching relationship starts and can flourish over time.

In this episode Danyelle and I focus on continuing to build our coaching relationship while also discussing the pressure I put on myself as I work through the personal disappointment of being forced to reset my priorities. For me, Satisfactionist Live is a labor of love and it is something that requires commitment; however, even though I am only accountable to myself when it comes to producing content, there is a high degree of disappointment and failure felt when I am not living up to my own expectations. Danyelle coaches me through these challenges and seeks to understand what drives my feelings of commitment and disappointment.
