This is a second appearance on the podcast by my friend and client Karen Howley of CRT Legal - a local law firm with a global reach. Karen is a Canadian immigration and real estate lawyer whose business acumen is enviable. I invited her back on because the decisions she has taken and the changes she has implemented in growing her professional business in a traditionally male-dominated field governed by convention are inspirational. It's one of the greatest conversations about business that I've had yet and I am really excited for you to listen.Key Points:The connection between relationship development and business growth Hiring staff for personality and training for skill; the pain of an employee mismatchDealing with imposter syndromeIntuition in law - as a woman, as an entrepreneurHiring professionals to support your business so you can do what you're good atAlso referenced in this episode:Episode 82, Interview with Reena Friedman Watts of Better Call Daddy and MegaWatts ProductionsEpisode 80, Ads and PR: What's The Difference and What Does That Mean to YouContact Karen for Canadian Immigration or Alberta real estate at:www.CRTLegal.ca or www.CRTlegal.iekaren@crtlegal.caFollow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CRTLegal.ca New Workshop: Podcasting for Publicity: Pitch Yourself for Success I'm hosting a podcast pitching workshop beginning February 15 where I'll walk you through all the steps over a few weeks so that, by the end, you’ll have pitched yourself for a successful start to your 2022 PR efforts.

This week’s episode is kind of a quick one - just as much for me as it is for you, especially if you have perfectionist tendencies or somewhat of a superwoman identity. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t for a moment doubt that you actually are a superwoman. I have a vague idea of what you do and already I’m impressed. I'd be blown away at what you do if I had a full picture.When I’m writing and recording this, it’s still pretty fresh and early in 2022. New year. And while there’s still lots of buzz around big plans and playing all out and crushing audacious goals, there’s also an undercurrent of being tired. Just feeling a little fuzzy around the edges. I’ve found it really hard getting back into the swing of things and I love this stuff. I love my clients, I love my work, I love this podcast. But I was still a bit reluctant to fully step back into it.This episode looks at what creates that feeling and how to avoid it while still feeling like superwoman.New Workshop: I'm hosting a podcast pitching workshop beginning in February where I'll walk you through all the steps over a few weeks so that, by the end, you’ll have submitted actual pitches to start your 2022 PR efforts.

This is an extended version of my interview with Reena Friedman Watts, host of Better Call Daddy and founder of MegaWatts Productions. She talks about her time at The Jerry Springer Show and what inspires some of her content, as well as involving her family in her podcast. I share a bit more of my home life, including parenting children on the autism spectrum, the culture shock of living in Ireland, and raising teenage coders. If you listened to episode 79 - which was more focused on the business of communications - and wondered what I had edited out, then you'll find the answers in here.Contact Reena:Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-call-daddy/id1525296416Website:https://bettercalldaddy.com/Production Company:https://megawattsproductions.com/Get help with your strategic communications:Create Your Social Media Content Strategy masterclass - your way to use your stories in a strategic way to help your business reach your goals:www.janicefogarty.com/create-your-social-media-content-strategyDon't Waste Your Breathguide on messaging (www.janicefogarty.com/dont-waste-your-breath-get-your-best-message-across)How to be an Amazing Podcast Guest checklist(www.janicefogarty.com/how-to-be-an-amazing-podcast-guest)10 Places to get Publicity, Even with Zero Budget(www.janicefogarty.com/discover-10-places-to-get-free-publicity-even-though-you-have-zero-budget)Have you left a review yet?

This chat with transformational life coach Kerry Hales runs the gamut from swimming in cold water to challenge your mind to trademarking drama, building a fire and playing small, to turds and personal responsibility. Kerry recently released a book, Life Lessons from your Knicker Drawer: Declutter your head, transform your mind, and we discuss the process she followed beginning many years ago from the idea that she write a book up to now and the feelings and benefits of being an author.Find Kerry Here:kerryhales.comKerry Hales - Transformational Life Coach on FacebookAlso mentioned in this episode:Episode 35: I'm Chasing Vitality; original interview with Kerry HalesUntamed; by Glennon Doyle: https://amzn.to/3m9wR6p*Some of these links are for my Amazon Affiliate site.
