Join me as I share a personal experience from a recent getaway in the NSW bush, where I made a conscious choice to disconnect from the digital world. It made me realize how our attention tends to be drawn to the enjoyable aspects of life, however, we often forget to pay attention to other crucial areas. What areas are getting your attention, and which ones might need a little more focus? Let's explore the delicate balance between what's pleasant and what requires our attention.   Links to Dr Hayley D Quinn Resources Group Coaching Waitlist: https://drhayleydquinn.myflodesk.com/timetothrivewaitlist  Link to podcast mailing list: https://drhayleydquinn.com/podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drhayleydquinn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drhayleydquinn Freebies: https://drhayleydquinn.com/resources Meditations: https://drhayleydquinn.com/shop/ Journal: https://drhayleydquinn.com/product/welcome-to-self-compassionate-journal/

Running a business and being a human with a tricky mind does have its challenges. We also need to consider our own social, emotional and intellectual learning histories and the experiences we've had across our lifetimes, the challenges we've had, the beliefs we've developed about ourselves, about others, and about how the world operates. I also think it's important that we acknowledge that we may be part of any problem we are experiencing. Now stick with me, I’m not saying this so you can go and berate yourself, but I do want you to be honest with yourself about any part you might play in the business struggles you might be having. I also want you to know that you can be part of the solution as well.

I've been excited to bring you some more great guests this season and my next guest is no exception. She is a warm, kind, compassionate, and very wise woman who I'm honoured to call not just my colleague, but my friend. I first met my next guest at an ANZ ACBS conference in Canberra, and attended a workshop for women that she was co-hosting. I was extremely resistant to attending this particular workshop due to some of my own history, but I knew that's what I needed to do and believe me, I'm so thrilled that I did. I learned about myself, my connection with other women, and I'm happy to say the seeds of a beautiful friendship were planted. I'm thrilled to introduce to you Tiffany Rochester. Tiff is fierce about nurturing families and supporting parents so that children can grow up slowly in the warmth and safety of both parents. She has a long history of supporting families through complex situations, including working with families of juvenile offenders, families raising neurodivergent, sexual and gender minorities, and families post separation fostering one family across two homes. She is the founding CEO of Co-Parenting Companion, a business which provides coaching support to separated co-parents with a focus on helping parents establish healthy boundaries and clear communication to find collaborative solutions.

My next guest was such a delight to interview, and we both really enjoyed the interaction which I think you’ll hear throughout the interview. We talk about living authentically in line with values, vulnerability as strength, accepting support from others during challenging times and being cheerleaders for ourselves and others. It is my pleasure to introduce Rikke Kjelgaard. Rikke is a licensed psychologist, peer-reviewed ACT trainer, an awarded fellow of the ACBS, speaker and chief rock’n’roller in her own business. Rikke is on a mission to help therapists thrive and to be brave and authentic helpers. Trained as a clinical psychologist, she has a 15-year background in the science of human behaviour and the practice of behaviour change. Rikke is a popular speaker at the Scandinavian as well as international stage, and she is known to bring both passion and vulnerability to her talks. She transforms the lives of her audience by bringing evidence-based strategies to her listeners in ways that are palatable, manageable and impactful. Rikke is known to leave her audience in tears with compelling stories from her own life and to create extraordinary interactions between people. We may both have had a few tears during this interview. I am sure you’re going to love listening to Rikke as we chat together, and I think you’ll find lots to take away from this episode as well. Sit back and enjoy.

I’m excited to bring you this bonus episode with an update about the podcast. You may have noticed a slight change to the introduction compared to past episodes. I recently made the decision to change the name of the podcast from Welcome to Self®- Caring for the Human in the Therapist Chair to Welcome to Self® with Dr Hayley D Quinn. Why have I done this you might ask? Well one of the reasons is I never thought I’d reach so many wonderful humans and I've had people reach out to me who are not therapists but who are enjoying the podcast and finding it really helpful, and I want to make this information more accessible, so changing from focusing on therapists feels important.

It's exciting to be back with season four, and this time with a guest interview are so excited when my next guest enthusiastically agreed to come on the podcast. I've been a fan of hers through the podcast she co-hosts and now her new book. So it means a lot that she's joining me today. And I'm sure you're going to get a lot from this episode. In this episode, we will be talking a lot about working parenthood. And I'm aware that not all of you are parents. And some of you may have reasons to choose not to listen into this episode. If that is the case, I hope you'll tune in again for our next episode. I also think there's plenty to learn from this episode if you're not currently parenting. So if it feels right for you, please tune in. And I hope you enjoy the episode and find it helpful. It is my absolute pleasure to introduce Dr Yael Schonbrun. Yael is a psychologist and assistant professor at Brown University, co-host of the wonderful podcast Psychologists Off The Clock and author of Work Parent Thrive. Having chatted to Yael briefly online, recording this episode was the first time we met face to face. And oh my what a beautiful human she is. Her kindness and compassion shines through as she talks. And I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I have. And I'm sure you'll find lots of great wisdom in here too.   Episode Links Yael’s Website: workparentthrive.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrYaelSchonbrun Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yaelschonbrun/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaelschonbrun/ POTC website: offtheclockpsych.com Book on Amazon Link to essay in WSJ   Links to Dr Hayley D Quinn Resources Link to podcast mailing list: https://drhayleydquinn.com/podcast/ Freebies: https://drhayleydquinn.com/resources Meditations: https://drhayleydquinn.com/shop/ Journal: https://drhayleydquinn.com/product/welcome-to-self-compassionate-journal/ https://bit.ly/WelcomeToSelfPodcast

The start of a new year can be filled with so much pressure to make changes to who you are and how you live your life. I hope you haven’t been too impacted by this.
