S3E02: Journey to Health Xanadu Part 1

2/2/2022

Cafe Grit is all about grit and it takes a lot of grit to make the decision to prioritize yourself. That's what I did in early 2022. In S3E02, I start off a 3-part series talking about my journey to wellness, which started with a mindset change. We must make ourselves the number one in our lives, in order to be our best for others. In the past 10 months I've lost 70 lbs with the help of a health and fitness coach.

S3E01: My Mother Made Me Do It

1/16/2022

Do you ever go back and think about your childhood to try and understand who you are today? In this episode, I reminisce about my mother and how she made me take responsibility for my decisions when I was a child. No helicopter parenting here! The older I get, the more I see my late mother in a different light, and I have come to appreciate some things that I resented in my youth. I know some of you have complicated relationships with your parents, I'd love to hear your feedback!

S2E12: The GRIT of Aging

11/18/2021

When we get older, it will be really hard to learn things. When we age, it’s harder and harder (damn near impossible) to lose weight. The older we get, the lonelier we get. I'm too old to start new adventures, I should have done that when I was young. These are just a few of the myths about aging that I grew up with. I'll bet you have some too. Do you know what I think of these? Bullsh*t. You don't get weaker with age...you develop more GRIT. That's why I did S2E12 of the Café Grit Podcast...

S2E11: Burnout

10/18/2021

In this episode, we explore the reasons for employee burnout. Is it the responsibility of the company? The managers and leaders? Or the employee themselves? The answer might surprise you. If you are burned out at work, overwhelmed, engulfed in chaos...then this is the episode for you.

S2E10: Boundaries

9/29/2021

In this episode I talk about boundaries at work and how important it is to set and honor them to prioritize ourselves. I give an example of a recent work revelation I had that prompted the need for me to set boundaries.

S2E09 EARLY GRIT

6/24/2021

In this short episode I reminisce to some early days of GRIT when I came in dead last at a couple events at my school's Field Day. Grit isn't always about being in-your-face tenacious. Sometimes it's about being patient and just practicing.

S2E07: Am I The Only Woman In The Meeting?

2/21/2021

This is one for the ladies. Many of us are starkly aware of our femaleness in the workplace. We are frequently the only woman in meetings; we sense that someone is talking to us differently than they talk to your male counterparts. Gender bias in the workplace is alive and well, and now it comes in more subtle forms that can be difficult to deal with. When someone pinches your boob, it's an obvious violation that you can take to HR. When someone talks to you differently, maybe more...

S2E06 When You F*ck Up At work

2/6/2021

Do you work in an environment where you feel safe making a mistake? S2E06 is about screwing up at work and doing so without being punished or thrown under the bus.

S2E05 IT IS OKAY

1/31/2021

Feeling the effects of nearly a year of covid, multitasking, and just plain too much shit going on, I'm just going to wing it today with some thoughts on keeping it all together. We have a lot of stress in our lives and it's okay to feel that. It's okay to be in a place where you haven't yet found your voice, where you haven't stood up to the asshats, and where you haven't yet found fulfillment. It is okay. We are human. Grit is about moving forward even when we fail, even when we feel like...

S2E03 Still With The Remote Working BS?

1/17/2021

In S2E03 Beth Anne rants about why there is still resistance to remote working even though so many companies have seen firsthand how well it works during Covid. Job postings for roles that should be able to easily accommodate a work-from-home set up still show the remote work option as "No." Why is that? Haven't we learned?
