Expert Insights for women on their path to purpose: An interview with Helen Sanchez of Tanagui

Season 5, Ep. 50

Finding one's true path involves self-discovery and reflection. We need to do all we can to align our skills with action to make solid choices that reflect our true nature and purpose. But it's not always so simple. Women who are frequently caretakers for elderly parents or the primary caregivers of their children face unique challenges that can result in gaps in service impacting their professional lives including pay gaps and gaps in opportunities. They also face another bias (men face it too but statistically later in life) it's the social construction known as ageism. And since I happen to know an expert on this topic, I invited her to join me in conversation to discuss women's challenges along the career path. Our expert today is Helen Sanchez of Tanagui. You may be familiar with Helen since she regularly contributes to Mindful Soul Center magazine. Helen's purpose is to help women over 40 find their value. When we have clear goals and identify our skills & value, we are more likely to make decisions that align with our values leading to a greater sense of satisfaction and meaning in our lives.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • ageism
  • imposter syndrome
  • understanding your value & self-confidence
  • the nature of the workplace
  • employment gaps & returnships
  • importance of professional development & staying relevant
