This week we're digging more into work and research. How happy are others in their jobs? Why do people leave? What effect can our jobs have on us? One of the things that we found interesting was just how many people quit their boss when they decide to leave their job. We might love what we do, but the person that's either directly above us or the head of the company might cause us to quit altogether. It makes a huge different when it comes to happiness in the workplace if we like (or don't like) our supervisors. Whether it's micromanaging or setting unrealistic expectations, having a not so great boss can take a toll. We also get into how so many of us (half of us in fact) are disengaged with our jobs. We go through the motions and it's so easy to do. It can cause a toxic environment which can easily overflow into our home lives and personal lives. Every person that works for any company is an important part. They don't have to close $10,000 sales to be important. Maybe it's just someone who comes in on his or her day off to help out. What about vacation? We are shocked to discover that the United States is the only country (of 38 countries) in the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) that doesn't require paid vacation time. How is this even possible? Why aren't we better? Our jobs are a huge contributor to mental health and stress. We can have the best jobs in the world, but still feel the weight of stress. Even if we're doing something that we love, we need to take some time and take a break. Many of us take our work home with us and it can bleed into our home lives. It can affect our mood and relationships. We want to point out how it's important to take some time and reflect on our feelings in regards to our work. If we self-evaluate, we can start to work on ways to change those things. When we are in the midst of everything, it's so difficult to isolate those feelings and realize what's causing it. And if it's within our power, we should find a new place of work. It's not easy, but it's necessary.  There's no rule that says that we have to be at a job forever. We can always be on the look out for something that makes us happy and to find that ion. If we have a job that makes us miserable, it isn't worth all of the money in the world. It's not worth it to put yourself or your loved ones through that stress. There's always something else. It's not always easy to find. But it's worth it to be happy. Follow Us!

The femmes are back with a new episode this week. This week they talk about a fantastic broadway star who is still starring in many roles today. ========== Crafter, American Actress, Author, Artist, Singer, Dancer, Broadway Star “I try to have a very optimistic outlook on life, I try not to take anything too seriously, I try to and I do find a ton of joy and happiness in my life and I think that helps you stay youthful.” Our femme was born March 18, 1975 in Statesboro, Georgia and was raised in Troy, Michigan.  "They say for every light on Broadway there is a broken heart, an unrealized dream. And that’s the same in any profession. So you have to want it more than anyone else, and you have to be your own champion, be your own superstar, blaze your own path, say yes to opportunity, follow your instincts, be eager, and ionate, keep learning, nurture your real, lasting relationships, don’t be a jerk, and free your imagination so you can become all that you want to be."

Why are we so hard on ourselves? In the latest episode of The Fallible Femmes, Mindy and Andrea talk about how it's important to give ourselves a break. We are often our worst critics. We all feel this way from time to time. It seems that it is a human trait. The femmes point out how it's okay to let ourselves off the hook and to try and avoid using harsh language when we speak to ourselves. Mindy opens up about how she can use demeaning language internally when she makes a mistake, whether great or small, and how most likely this is learned behavior. Andrea goes into how sometimes when she makes errors, whether it's in her personal life or her work life, it can manifest physically. She will feel ill or lose sleep over all the ways she did something wrong. Both the femmes recognize that this isn't ideal. In this episode, the femmes also talk about shame and guilt by referencing author Brene Brown. She comes up a bit in their conversation, but they point some very valuable insights when it comes to shame. So, give yourself a break and check out this episode. And of course, tell a friend.

Actress, Producer, Emmy Winner, Model, Broadway Star, Comedian, Professor, Wife, Mother, among other things. "I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not." Today, the woman the femmes are talking about was an incredible trailblazer for women in Comedy.  She struggled along the way and even had a drama school tell her she didn't have a future in show business.  She proved them wrong and soon became the most loved character in the world.

Welcome back! The femmes are getting started with their new format with a truly incredible woman.  Author, Editor, Mother, Professor, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Homecoming Queen, Trailblazer, among other things. “I regret everything.” "It's not profound regret," ... "It's just a wiping up of tiny little messes that you didn't recognize as mess when they were going on."  The woman the femmes are talking about today is an accomplished author who paved the way for women (specifically black women) and to hear or read this can be a little shocking. As the femmes through this episode, they want to highlight the accomplishments of this person as well as look at the struggles and stumbling blocks that she had along the way. This looks so different for everyone. Sometimes a stumbling block that one person has is simply their skin color - From her early life and struggles with racism to her time she spent as an editor at random house, this woman is an important part of history. Her works (in which the first one was published when she was 39) are something to be respected and appreciates.

The femmes are back with the preview of what's to come. After taking almost six months off from recording, they have figured out where they're taking the show. Mindy and Andrea spend a few minutes talking about the new format of the podcast. In keeping with the theme of fallibility and women, they've decided to start out this new chapter, but highlighting women. Whether they're authors, celebrities, politicians, or activists, no one is off limits. The approach that they're taking is pretty straightforward, find a woman and talk about her failures, shortcomings, stumbling blocks, achievements, accomplishments, and they're awesomeness. And that will look different with each person they talk about. Sometimes they might talk about someone that's a little controversial, maybe someone that they don't even care for, but their goal is to add perspective. Plain and simple. The best part - the fun part, is that they won't reveal who they're talking about at the end of the episode. Can you feel the anticipation?  Enjoy the show and share it with a friend!
