Welcome to the Wisdom Walks Podcast, our guest this week is The Bridge to Fulfillment Founder Blake Schofield. We had a truly insightful conversation on Blake’s journey from successful retail director to career coach helping women transition from unfulfilling careers by creating a bridge to fulfillment® on their terms. Blake and I discuss what it takes to change our career mindset so that you can find work that is filled with purpose, fulfillment, and even financial success. Yes, you can have it all you just have to start by asking for help. About Our Guest (In her Words): My name is Blake. I'm a mom of three kids who spent 18 years in Corporate America building, growing and turning around 8 and 9 figure businesses, including a $600 million dollar business at Target corporation & building a business from scratch at Stitch Fix that launched with over 75,000 women on a wait list. ​ Despite enjoying parts of my career & having a lot of success, I would find myself going through cycles of feeling energized followed by feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. I seemed to be constantly searching for how I could do fulfilling work while having time for a more fulfilling, less stressful life. As the years progressed and I had kids, I felt myself getting more frustrated and exhausted with the constant demands of my job & the amount of work I had to do that either didn't line up with my values or wasn't work I loved. I came to realize that the career I was in no longer fit. Despite that, I sat in my job for years knowing that I should be doing something else, something "MORE" but I just didn't know what it was or how to make it happen without taking a big risk. I felt overwhelmed, drained & stuck — I began to feel like I didn't have control over my life. Work was bleeding into every part of my life. As the breadwinner, I felt responsible for making sure whatever decision I made would be right for my family...and I felt guilty that I wasn't happy in a career that everyone else thought was the epitome of success. At the time, I believed that I could figure it out on my own & that the only way was by sacrificing the lifestyle I had worked so hard to achieve. What I came to learn and realize is that I was missing the CLARITY & PLAN to feel like I could move forward with my life, I didn't understand my secret sauce transferable skills or how to align my strengths, skills, & passions to do work that ultimately would allow me to have everything I wanted. My 20-year personal journey through three career changes, multiple cross-country moves, years of going through the cycle of searching LinkedIn & job boards trying to find the next path for my life is the basis for the work we do every day.

In this episode of the Wisdom Walks Podcast, Elaine Slatter, an author, mentor, and the founder of XL Consulting Group, speaks about the value of mentoring, how it advanced her career, and the steps YOU should take to maximize the benefits of your mentoring, and accelerate your success. After working in the corporate world and being mentored for over 30 years, Elaine shifted her focus onto creating her consulting company as a means to give back to the community of female entrepreneurs. While being mentored in her corporate role, Elaine noticed not only the benefits of having a mentor as a sounding board, but also someone to vouch for her, opening doors to new roles. Now, she has experience mentoring female entrepreneurs through Futurentreprenur, and the Women in Biz Network. As a seasoned business professional, she continues to guide young or inexperienced female entrepreneurs into really understanding the structure of a business. Leigh and Elaine discuss the difference between outsourcing (for a more formulated program) VS. finding a mentor (to guide you not just through your business challenges and successes, but your personal ones too!) Everyone has different skills and experience that they bring to the table; find a mentor that fits your style, and clearly understands the gaps that you need help filling. Throughout this episode, Leigh and Elaine reveal the importance of how being prepared to be mentored enables you to really take advantage of all the help your mentor can offer. Let your mentor know where you need guidance: THINK ABOUT IT! While currently enduring yet another lockdown, Leigh and Elaine analyzed the difficulties and the amount of ever-changing tasks that lockdown sprung upon women. They discuss entrepreneurial depression, and time-giving approaches to help make your tasks more enjoyable. The strategies you will learn in this episode will help you maximize your time, and build strong, long-lasting mentee/mentor relationships that will accelerate your career and business.

Founder of Women in Biz Network Leigh Mitchell chatted with actor, writer and comedian Jessica Holmes on how depression can affect life, work and business. Leigh's reflections: As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life I was drawn to Jessica's book: Depression: The Comedy because it was the first book that I personally read that discussed what it is like to deal with depression while being self-employed. I was acquainted with Jessica as she was a speaker for Women in Biz Network, but her latest book really goes deep into her story and ultimate recovery. Her honesty about her marriage, life as a parent and being a performer while in the throes of depression really touched me. I am so glad that Jessica has gone on to become an incredible advocate for people who are experiencing depression. Her work around reducing depression stigma can be found in her social media and her keynotes. We hope that employers and loved ones will learn from this interview what is helpful and most importantly what is harmful. Learn about Jessica Holmes: Jessica Holmes has brought the house down with her unique brand of comedy, opening for giants such as Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Peters, Jerry Seinfeld, and Oprah Winfrey. Combining stand up, music and improvisation, she honed her skills at Just For Laughs and the world-famous Second City before moving on to television. Her Carol Burnett-style series The Holmes Show and her knack for skewering celebrities like Nikki Minaj, Britney Spears, and Celine Dion have made her a favourite with audiences across the country. Also a wellness advocate, Jessica is known for speaking candidly about her experience with depression. She mixes comedy with a validating message about life’s challenges, and has become a celebrated voice in fighting the stigma surrounding mental health issues in her keynotes. In 2018 she became an ambassador for the Bell Let’s Talk campaign and wrote the hilarious and touching memoir Depression The Comedy. A mother of 2 (and wife of 1), Jessica’s passion is finding the humour in life's imperfections, and turning embarrassments into punchlines.

“Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I’ll be watching you.” Every step we take leads somewhere. Over the summer my steps led me to stay silent and still. You haven’t heard much from me as I had little to say. I even stayed off social media for the most part which made more time for what I needed. I am back at it again full swing, and happy to be home but a string of bad luck did visit this week, the good news is I realize this happened for a reason and lessons were learned. I’ll explain more about that in a minute. First I want to talk about my Summer. It was delicious. I read a lot. I bonded with my family and sat around a lot of campfires. One of the books, Hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson taught me a lot. What I learned from this book is our brains are hardwired to hold onto negative experiences and feelings. It is a caveman thing. To feel happier, calmer and more confident we need to hold onto positive experiences and reframe negative ones. I found myself doing this consistently. There is a whole process in the book and it works. Back to this week: My son got six stitches on his chin, and I broke a rib resulting in two trips to the emergency room in three days. I felt frustrated and weepy at first as I have no time for this. But maybe I did need this injury… Doctors orders were to schedule deep breaths once an hour. I found an app that does this and now each hour I hear a little cough from the app as a reminder to take ten deep breaths. If I don’t do this, I could end up with Pneumonia. My ribs hurt a lot and when I can’t get comfortable, the exercise of taking breaths calms me down and for each inhale I think of something positive. Gratitude is a big part of my journey these days. The next six weeks my body will be recovering. How I spend my time will be very intentional. I am excited by this. I didn’t intend to break a rib to get a little more “me time” but I will take it for what it is.
