A recent study found that working women faced a "perfect storm" from pressures at home and work because of the pandemic.
Sound familiar? When does your workday start and end? Are you working more than you were before the start of the pandemic?
I'm finding that some women I work with are working more and feel more lonely. They don't necessarily want to go back to the office, but they crave more in-person interaction and community.
Is "adventure" one of your values?
Adventure, freedom, and flexibility are high on the values list with most people I work with. However, each person typically has their unique definition, but "adventure" often has the word "travel" in there.
Most people I work with don't want their lives to revolve solely around their careers. Sure, they want their job to be fulfilling, rewarding, and meaningful, but they also want time off to fulfill their "adventure" value.
What projects, dreams, and ideas are stuck?
Do you want a new career?
Launch a passion project?
Express yourself more creatively?
Take up a hobby like painting?
Make a more significant impact using your gifts and talents?
Many young corporate women I work with are exhausted at the end of the workweek and use the weekend to recover to prepare for yet another dreadful, taxing week ahead.
When we drill down into their values, creativity is often a value they possess but is often missing from their lives.
When they are able to see this gap, they understand why they feel unbalanced and bitter about not having work/life balance.
