Amina Change Your Life

This is a re-air of an interview I got to do with Liz Moody for her podcast, Healthier Together. Liz is an incredible journalist and did some Oprah-like interviewing. I loved the questions she asked and how this episode turned out so I wanted to share it here with you all.

Here’s what we covered:

• Should your job align with your passion?

• Prior to launching your own business, what crucial question must you ask yourself?

• Strategies for developing work with a sense of purpose

• A precise formula to determine whether switching jobs or careers is advisable

• Identifying the four causes of burnout and implementing targeted solutions for each

• Utilizing a science-backed script to establish healthier boundaries with your supervisor

• Approaches to handle dislike towards your boss or coworkers

• Devising a plan to address feelings of being underpaid or undervalued

• Techniques to overcome the Sunday scaries (fear or anxiety about the upcoming workweek)

• How to conduct a silent retreat at home

• Tactics to combat the stress associated with an "always on" culture
