  E81: Being A Brave Woman with Jen Pestikas

  Aug 18, 202634 min

  What if your career wasn’t meant to be a ladder, but a lattice—where sideways or even downward moves move you closer to your purpose? In this episode of the Infuse Compassion podcast, Amy and Mark talk with Jen Pestikas, founder of Brave Women at Work, about recognizing when your work is out of alignment and how to make a compassionate “career leap.” Jen shares her story of burnout, how “her body kept score” when she ignored the signs, and what shifted when she stopped raising the bar for achievement and started listening to herself. She also talks about navigating critics, separating energetically from people who don’t support your dreams, and finding those who help you “fly your plane higher.” In this conversation, you’ll learn: - How to know when it’s time for a career leap - Why a “shower of self-compassion” is essential when starting a new path - A simple practice to track who boosts your energy and who drains it - What it really means to be a “Brave Woman at Work” in the face of imposter syndrome Jen’s tip for compassionators: if you’re not listening to yourself, it’s hard to be genuinely compassionate to others. This episode will help you begin that listening. Jennifer Pestikas is an executive with over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. She is currently the Chief Experience Officer of a Chicagoland financial institution. Jen understands the necessary skills to make significant leaps in your career, including mindset, asking for what you want, interviewing skills, the ability to negotiate, professional presence and more. In addition to her corporate work, Jen leverages her experience with her personal company, Brave Women at Work. At Brave Women at Work, Jen offers individual and group executive and leadership coaching for women.

  E80: Slow Down For The Long Haul: Reflections from Lindsay Schiess

  Aug 11, 202632 min

  Our neural pathways create defaults in how we react in emotional situations. The only way to change these neural pathways is to slow down, be aware of your thoughts, and stay curious. In this episode, Amy and Mark discuss what we learned from Lindsay Schiess in our last episode about overcoming the challenging emotions we can so easily face in today’s achievement-focused world. Join our discussion about: • The importance of slowing down and listening to our body when we feel strong emotions. • Keys to listening more effectively to create stronger relationships and connected teams. • The power of breathing as an emotional reset. • The importance of connecting to a higher power to maintain perspective in difficult situations. We’ll share personal perspectives on the skills Lindsay discussed last week and how each of us can create more connectedness with ourselves and others with a few simple skills. Lindsay Shiss is a speaker, therapist, professor at the University of Utah, and podcast host—which basically means she asks a lot of questions and never stops being fascinated by what makes people tick. This ties to her identify as a curious soul! Through her work, she helps individuals, teams, and organizations build resilience, strengthen relationships, and navigate life and work with more courage and compassion. She loves people, pancakes, and sleeping under the stars, although not necessarily all at once. She is a mom to four and wife to one patient man and believes families are the greatest classroom for learning how to love, grow, mess up, say sorry, and try again…and again and again. More than anything, she loves people and believes deeply in the goodness of people and the remarkable capacity we all have to heal, grow, and show up for one another.
