  • In this episode, Rachael delves into the critical issue of "toxic loyalty" in the Executive Assistant (EA) profession, using the recent news about Matthew Perry’s assistant as a catalyst for the discussion. Rachael highlights the complexities and ethical dilemmas that EAs often face, shedding light on the hidden challenges that come with the role.

    Being an EA is not just about supporting someone else’s success; it’s also about safeguarding your own wellbeing, ethics, and career trajectory. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of setting boundaries and staying true to yourself in a role that demands so much loyalty and discretion.

    This episode is a must-listen for Executive Assistants who want to understand the risks associated with toxic loyalty and how to navigate them.

    You'll hear insights and support on:

    The Concept of Toxic Loyalty: Rachael introduces the term "toxic loyalty," describing how the dedication and commitment required in the EA role can sometimes become harmful.

    Real-World Relevance: The episode draws parallels between the news of Matthew Perry’s assistant being involved in a fatal incident and the everyday realities of EAs. Rachael emphasises that while the situation is extreme, the underlying issues of blurred boundaries, responsibility creep, and manipulation are familiar to many in the profession.

    Red Flags to Watch Out For: Rachael outlines key warning signs that an executive might be exploiting their assistant’s loyalty, including manipulative language and requests that push ethical boundaries.

    Practical Advice for EAs: The episode offers actionable advice for EAs on how to protect themselves, including setting boundaries early, documenting questionable requests, and maintaining a strong sense of self that is not overly tied to the person they support.

  • Your work isn't who you are it's what you do ,and that's what we dive into in this bite size episode on the concept of labels and how they shape our professional identities.

    Too often, we define ourselves by our roles—entrepreneur, trainer, project manager, designer, CEO, executive assistant—without realising the limitations these labels impose.

    Inspired by recent observations in her business and reflecting on her own corporate career experience, Rachael explores how these labels can box us in, restrict our growth, and prevent us from exploring new opportunities.

    You'll hear insights and actionable advice on:

    Labels and Identity: Understanding the difference between what we do and who we are. Breaking the Box: How labels can limit our growth and exploration of new opportunities. Mindset Shift: The importance of maintaining an open mind and being willing to step out of comfort zones. Potential Over Labels: Recognising and unlocking potential beyond the labels assigned to us. Career Satisfaction and Burnout: How detaching from labels can lead to greater career satisfaction and prevent burnout. Talent mapping and succession planning behind closed doors: what it takes to progress at work and be regarded as talent.

    Join us as we challenge the labels, embrace our true potential, and unlock new possibilities in our careers and lives. What might unfold for you if you thought about your potential a little differently?

    Jem is a change maker, thought leader and trailblazer whose mission is to create safer, culturally sensitive spaces in the yoga community, the wellbeing landscape and beyond into every day life.

    The wisdom Jem shares in this conversation will change the way you think about your relationship to the earth and challenge your view of what it means to be well - the mission of this podcast.

    To me, expanding our view of wellbeing has to involve the inclusion of First Nations perspectives, the challenges and work to do, the patience and commitment to genuine connection and understanding.

    In this conversation we get into what safe spaces look like in the wellbeing world and how we can all benefit from and better appreciate the philisophy and ways of being that kept our Australian First Nations people well for over 80,000 years.

    I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart and mind and I invite you before you do to consider the Country you are on.

    Can you connect deeply to the land? What gratitude can you hold in your heart today for the space you call home? How can you tread lightly on the land today? And how can you open your heart and mind to find a meaningful path to reconciliation?

    This episode was recorded on Bunurong and Boon Wuurrung land and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung land.

    CORRECTION in this episode incorrectly made reference to the wonderful Sara "Thomas", co-creator of Wayapa Wuurrk - Sara's last name is Jones.
