Welcome to our 13th episode, with special guest Alana Lerch. We love her story about how and why she left corporate, and what she did next.

Her experience after leaving her job was incredible. She spent 8 months finding herself, her passions, and what she wanted to do next. It isn’t something everyone can afford to do, but it was so inspiring to hear how she figured it all out.

We dig in with Alana about burnout, of course, and also talked a length about making changes and finding your passion outside your work.

Something that Alana explains to us is how to find what you’re good at and how to dump off the things you don’t enjoy doing. Delegation is key! She recommends a book called StrengthsFinder. Here is the link if you want to order this book - https://a.co/d/64fzLfT

We love this conversation about only doing things you are good at AND that you like to do, so you enjoy work and life.

Another thing that Alana taught us is the steps to find yourself outside of work and how to strategically find joy. Profound!! We also learned that finding an accountability partner can help you figure this out together.

This week we decided to keep it light and commiserate about some lingo and behavior that is sooooo corporate. From absolutely wild corporate policies to passive agressive emails and triggering corporate buzzwords, this episode is a compilation of corporate cringe that you don't want to miss.

We loved our conversation about crazy team building exercises. Please tell us your favorite or least favorite team building experience from your time in corporate in the comments. We need to hear your stories!

On this week's episode about high performers, The Mandys find out that they are high performers! We found out from a video we found from a creator on TikTok - High Performer Coach. If you don't know if you're a high performer, you will find out after watching this video we played.

We really dig into the pros and cons of being a high performer, signs that being a high performer are leading you to burnout, and how to balance your life and work, even when you feel like the work is never done.

Mandy Alt had a breakthrough during this conversation and figured out that where she has been good at setting boundaries in her personal life, she never did that at work when she was having the same burnout that she gets when her social battery is draining. It seems so easy! It has actually changed something and she has set work boundaries over the last week.

We hope that you got something from this conversation like we did. Tell us the change you are going to make if any of this is a problem you have.
