ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design

You don’t have to Breakdown to Breakthrough

We need to get overwhelm, stress, and burnout off of our daily playlist. Not only is this state of being blocking our ability to live a life we love, it's making us sick.
You can handle stress in a more healthy way when you have the resources to cope. This is why regenerative time is so critical.
A fully resourced you can do more better in less time (and savor the experience).
You never have to wait for the breakdown to have a breakthough.
Ask for and expect miracles
You never have to prove your worth to get the resources you need.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

Monstrous: Horrifying Ways We Internalize Criticism

What conjures up the most fear in the workplace?  Being seen as vulnerable. Criticism can be a devastating monster when it echoes our own insecurities. Unmasking self doubt allows us to see the patterns, learn the lessons and know when to walk away because we don't need to be a character in someone else's nightmare.
Fear is the lowest level emotion (truly the opposite of love). It shuts down our expansion and keeps us stuck.
Our inner critic wants to assign villain roles to others. Never assume you know someone else's motivations.
Embrace the fact that you're not for everyone. Don't get ensnared by needing to please other people.
Take of the mask and act authentically and with integrity. Move on from those who that makes uncomfortable.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

Taming the Chaos: Redefining Productivity in a Disrupted World

Hey you- stress puppy! It's time to embrace the disruption of post-pandemic life. Yup, that chaos you keep complaining about is only happening because you are resisting the new freedom you have. Listen in to learn how to redefine productivity to include plenty of time for regeneration of body mind and spirit.
Disruptions are opportunities. What can you question about your traditional understanding of life and work?
Being able to connect anytime anywhere allows us to bend space and time in our favor when we stop letting other people hijack our schedule.
Leverage resources- who else can do this? Look for opportunities to delegate or hire out.
Say yes to more of what regenerates you and prioritize that in your day.
Reconstruct and redefine what an ideal day could look like for you if you free yourself from obligations.
Always ask whether what you are doing is the highest and best use of your time.

Are You a Head Nodder or an Action Taker?

Maybe it's because you agree, maybe it's just making nice. Either way, nodding your head is a far cry from taking action. This episode explores the gap between knowing you want to change and taking change making action.
Grace, ease, and joy are your factory setpoints. It's time to make feeling that way a priority again.
There is no lack, therefore there is no limit to your abundance. Competing for resources is a disempowering illusion.
The path between understanding something and embracing it is taking action.
Turn off the inner wicked stepmother who tries to regulate how much grace, ease, and joy you allow yourself to experience.
Don't let your busyness keep your success in the future.
Self care is service to others.

Worth the Fight? When to be a Warrior

You might be down for the struggle, but maybe you don't have to be. Opposition takes a lot of energy and political capital. Listen in to know when you're squandering your bandwidth on a no-win situation and when the fight is worth it.
The cause worth fighting for is the one that's bigger than you. If there isn't a higher purpose or greater good involved, don't engage.
Allocate your energy positively (and get waaay more powerful results) by focusing on what you do want, not what you don't.
Discern between doing what's right and righteousness. Righteousness is about fear of losing control or way of understanding the world challenged.
Consider why you need to "win" or be right. Let other people have their opinions and shortcomings. It's not your job to convince them of anything.

Flex Your Superpower and Quit Tolerating the Beige Life

Have you found yourself tolerating a world that asks you to dumb down your dreams and dim your light? Not no more my friend. Listen in to learn more about showcasing your superpower instead of being shamed by it.
When we tolerate situations and experiences that don't bring us joy, we end up forgetting ourselves just to fit in.
Never let the busyness eclipse what's meaningful to you. Make your preferences your priority.
Ask yourself what you really want. Then start doing it.
Break your addiction to overwhelm and re-prioritize connecting to calm and joy.
Greatness isn't about meeting expectations- it's about defying them.
Release your attachment to being judged. Be in the moment doing what you love and the rest will happen for you.
Love the parts of yourself that get made wrong. They are your strength.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

Opportunity Beads:Collecting Moments of Career Impact

Life is what happens when you're busy making plans. But those seeming redirects might just be what puts you on the trail you were really meant to blaze. In this episode, I share two inspiring stories of multi-directional careers that had singular impact.
Everything is possible as long as you believe it is.
Be guided by your purpose and say "yes" to opportunities even when they seem unrelated to what you are doing.
Nothing is ever wasted. Every experience provides knowledge and perspective you will use.
Don't put the blinders of expectations on your career. A linear path might feel safe, but it's the unknown that takes you somewhere great.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

Uplift Thinking (an Inclusive Leadership Model): Interview with Jing Johnson

Are you still slogging though a practice model that doesn't work for you? My guest Jing Johnson shares how she built a successful business based on uplifting others and providing support
Be receptive to your clients and how you can serve them- they notice how you make them feel
We stay stuck because we worked so hard to get where we are and pay our dues that we want the payoff. Instead, a bigger payoff can come from realizing that success can come in a different way.
Open yourself up to the ease and grace of going down a career path that feels good to you.
Be the example of the culture you want to have. Others are watching what you do, because it matters more than what you say.
Live your core values and highlight how your team is implementing them.
It's easy to have trust when things are going well, but it's more important to cultivate it when they are not by being a supportive leader.
Share stories to help your team prepare for difficult clients or situations. Communication empowers and transparency enlightens.

Causing Effect: Being a Catalyst for Change

Creating change starts with inspiring people, but needs to include helping them move past doubts and fear of change. That means you need to be the catalyst- the constant that produces change without being changed. Listen in to learn how.
Catalysts show others what's possible by bringing together the right mix of people and activities and activating them.
Action happens naturally when there is alignment about what change needs to happen and why.
People may initially buy in but eventually resist change because it moves them out of their comfort zone. Your job is to keep holding the vision for them and giving them permission to step outside the system.
Go from cause and effect to causing an effect by helping people to feel confident and inspired even as they encounter doubts, fears or lack of acceptance from their peer group. Remember that everyone feels more comfortable when they return to their set point, even if it's not serving them.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

Crazy ’till it Happens: Overcoming Your Dream Doubters

Don't let the doubters bring you down. You know, the ones who say you can't do it, or that you're wrong to even try. You have dreams bigger than you for a reason. Here's how to make them a reality.
Being proactive is an internal process. Become a dreamer who does by getting clarity on your purpose and taking aligned action.
Being reactive is an external process, but it doesn't have to be a passive one. You have better solutions when you've been proactive first.
Question the premise and be more aware of the unconscious "protocols" in our culture so you can actively change them.
The bigger the dream, the  more you have to fail to make it come true.
Hold your ground, be solution oriented and include like minded people.
Stay Inspired,
Angela
