This episode is a compassionate call to notice the red flags our bodies raise, recognize our limitations, and honor our needs.Many women in perimenopause and menopause experience brain fog and memory loss, but this is seldom talked about openly. Drawing from my own recent experiences, and with support from Dr. Gabor MatĂ©'s book When the Body Says No, we explore the ways our bodies communicate distress, often through symptoms we might overlookâlike memory lapses, mental fatigue, or even physical illness.
The impact of chronic stress on mental faculties and overall wellbeing.How small and significant stresses accumulate, often unnoticed, shaping who we become.Practical insights on tuning in to bodily signals and making space for rest and recalibration.Affirmations that remind us of our worth beyond productivity or societal expectations.
Key Topics:If youâre feeling overwhelmed by the fast pace of life, battling stress, or noticing changes in your mental clarity, this episode offers permission to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. We close with a powerful affirmation to guide you on this journey: "I am valued, accepted, and loved as I am. It is safe to be me."

In this episode, I dive into the struggles that many introverts face when it comes to asking for help. Drawing from my own experiences as a former lawyer and now a coach and midlife mentor, I explore why asking for assistance can often feel like a sign of weakness, and how overcoming this mindset can be transformativeâespecially for introverts in business and leadership roles.
Key Points:
The stigma of asking for helpWorking for others vs. working for yourselfThe importance of outsourcing and delegationReframing the role of a business ownerDeveloping a âCEO mentalityâKey Takeaways:

Episode Summary:
How does an introvert stand their ground during conflict, earn the trust of senior executives, and become the go-to person in a corporate environment?
In this episode, Anthony Kuo shares his transition from a promising but unsatisfying career in corporate America to becoming a career satisfaction coach. He shares candidly about the challenges faced by introverts in the workplace and how they can leverage their unique strengths to succeed without compromising their true nature.
Key Points:
How being in a minority group at school affects oneâs identity and sense of belonging:
School can be hard when youâre not one of the majority.When you realize that youâre different and not necessarily in a culturally acceptable way or a way that feels safe.When your friends had a language to talk to each other and you werenât a part of that, and didnât know the cultural references they were making.
Challenges of being an Introvert in corporate America:
Being technically proficient at the job, but realizing the need to be able to tell stories and persuade others to see your point of view.Being used to deferring to authority due to the hierarchical nature of Asian culture, and learning to speak up and assert yourself and stand your ground when questioned or challenged by more senior executives.
Leveraging Expertise and Building Trust:
Gaining trust and influence in the workplace through personal reputation, the ability to tell compelling stories with data, and the ability to hold space and demonstrate empathy for multiple points of view.
Career Satisfaction:
Career satisfaction is about using your personality at work and having your personality and all of its quirks and wonderful uniqueness be engaged, appreciated, and valued at work.Career satisfaction is about figuring out what it takes for you to thrive.30% of the time, what employees are looking for is accessible exactly where they are - they just have to reach for it.Quitting is not always the solution - career change is stressful and expensive. Most of the time, career dissatisfaction is because a part of you is craving change, and another part of you really values something that is being provided through your current role. Identify what it is you value.
Advice for someone who is not satisfied with their career right now:
Listen to your dissatisfaction. Pay attention. Get curious.Ask yourself: what is it that you are not getting, what is keeping you here, what is it exactly that you enjoy.
