Shell Give You Permission to be Human EP 102
It\u2019s always fun to encounter a kindred spirit \u2013 someone on a very similar journey, whose thinking and beliefs are aligned with your own\u2026 and that\u2019s exactly what host, Laura\xa0Prisc, experienced during this week\u2019s episode, getting to know MaryBeth Hyland.\xa0\xa0
MaryBeth is striving to bring the essence\xa0of\xa0what it means to be human back into our lives and work. Her desire was borne of her personal experience, working in a company that looked like it had it all together from the outside, but turned out to be a dysfunctional culture once she was immersed in it.\xa0\xa0
\u201cI was experiencing too much internal discord to stay,\u201d she explains, going further to say that the awareness that one is out of alignment with others, or an organization is sometimes sudden and sometimes creeps up on you. Either way, it\u2019s uncomfortable and unhealthy to stay.\xa0\xa0
Having experienced something similar in more than one organization and having to work her way through releasing the guilt and shame associated with the perception of \u201cquitting,\u201d she\u2019s taken some bold and decisive steps to take back her life and work, and to share what she\u2019s learned with the people and organizations she now works with.\xa0\xa0
Listen in as she shares her story, including how she chose to extract herself from a women\u2019s organization in which she was the 5th\xa0generation in her family to be involved. Breaking the cycle, as they say, is not easy even when it\u2019s clear it\u2019s the right decision. It comes with a lot of emotion, baggage, legacy, and expectation.\xa0\xa0
Take some time to contemplate your core values and discern whether they are truly yours, or you\u2019ve merely absorbed / inherited them from others. Ask yourself, \u201cHow did I get here?\u201d and \u201cIs this where I want to be in my life?\u201d\xa0\xa0
Perhaps you\u2019ll discover it\u2019s time for a change in your life, or you\u2019ll rest assured that you are in fact living a life you desire. Either way, it\u2019s a thought-provoking and engaging conversation.\xa0\xa0
