Welcome to this episode of Courage Permission Slip. Today, Kea’s chatting with Belma McCaffrey. Belma is the CEO and Founder of Work Bigger, a career coaching platform for dissatisfied high-achievers who want to find their purpose. Prior to Work Bigger, she spent 10+ years working in media and strategy roles at companies like the Associated Press and Conde Nast. Belma is also a refugee and mom, and her work has been featured in Forbes, Fortune, Thrive, and other media platforms.

In this conversation, Belma talked about:

• How she dealt with the conflicting emotions of desperately needing a break but feeling stressed about taking the break
• The danger of not fully committing to the change you seek
• The trauma of being rejected as a young refugee and how she’s still healing that trauma today
• Non-violent communication and how it can help you to not think in judgment
• What actually weighs us down about a task we need to do — but can’t bring ourselves to do it

…and more!
