36. Notes On: Navigating The In-Between Season - 4 Ways To Transition Well

For the Season Finale of Trusting The Process, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down to talk with my own aunty, Caroline Harper-Jantuah. With three decades of experience working in corporate and not for profit sectors across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia, Caroline is an award-winning facilitator and Executive Coach. Past and present clients include the likes of the United Nations, the World Health Organization and Ernst & Young to name a few.  At 70 but with the busting social life that would put many thirty-somethings to shame, Caroline is evidence that we live from choice. From her 16 years as co-founder of diversity and inclusion consultancy "The Diversity Practice" to moving to Geneva where she pursued a forgotten dream working for the United Nations, Caroline has chosen to navigate her journey with intention.    Through her story we learn the power of pursuing your curiosity and the gift of changing your mind. We are left with the reminder that a dream deferred can still become a dream actualised.    Inter-generational conversations will always be incredibly valuable and this exchange is no different. I hope this episode empowers you to pay attention to the things you're choosing and live your life from intention.    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5XMKwhCWR7UfXFwX1D4Ewu  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/trusting-the-process/id1377232699 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFwDGYfifeEBEbcJyTHUObA    Follow Trusting The Process: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trustingtheprocesspod  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@trustingtheprocesspod     Follow Debra: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrachosen  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debra_chosen    Follow Caroline: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cjantuah/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolineharperjantuah/    Subscribe to Trusting The Process Mailing List: https://ttpnewsletter.myflodesk.com/join      Get in touch for business or partnership inquiries Email: [email protected]

We all know the saying "comparison is the thief of joy", but it doesn't just steal our joy. Comparison also robs us of our focus which takes us off our path and further away from the life that God has already prepared for us.  As someone that has known the crippling impacts of comparison all too well, this year I have taken intentional steps to overcome the trap. And in this episode I will be sharing with you how.  We'll also unpack where comparison may come from for you and the need to be deeply curious about your own life.    Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5XMKwhCWR7UfXFwX1D4Ewu  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/trusting-the-process/id1377232699      Watch Trusting The Process on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@trustingtheprocessofficial      Follow Trusting The Process on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trustingtheprocesspod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@trustingtheprocesspod      Follow Debra: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrachosen  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debra_chosen      Branding & Strategy: Bravery Studio   Subscribe to Trusting The Process Mailing List: https://ttpnewsletter.myflodesk.com/join   For business & partnership inquiries Email: [email protected]

What do you do when you realise that standing in the gap between you and where you want to be, is you? That was the harsh realisation I came to earlier this year, as I accepted that there were a plethora of ways that I had been getting in my own way.  In this intimate solo episode I share how this experience led me down a road of honest confrontation. Join me as I unpack some key ways we get in our own way, why and most importantly how you can begin to give yourself the best opportunity to succeed.   Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5XMKwhCWR7UfXFwX1D4Ewu  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/trusting-the-process/id1377232699      Watch Trusting The Process on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@trustingtheprocessofficial      Follow Trusting The Process on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trustingtheprocesspod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@trustingtheprocesspod      Follow Debra: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrachosen  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debra_chosen      Branding & Strategy: Bravery Studio   Subscribe to Trusting The Process Mailing List: https://ttpnewsletter.myflodesk.com/join   For business & partnership inquiries Email: [email protected]  

How do you forge your own path when there is no blueprint? Today's guest knows that feeling all too well.   In this episode, I sit down with Shakaila Forbes-Bell - Fashion Psychologist, consultant, TV commentator and founder of the platform Fashion Is Psychology. As the first black person in the world to earn a postgraduate degree in the emerging field of Fashion Psychology, Shakaila is no stranger to firsts.   In our conversation Shakaila shares how from a young age she'd always had this belief that she was destined for something great. It's that same belief (and her support system) that empowered her to make the jump from 9-5 to entrepreneur as she's shaped a successful career in Fashion Psychology, without the reference points we so often crave.   Whatever the dream on the inside of you, this episode is a masterclass on betting on yourself.     Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5XMKwhCWR7UfXFwX1D4Ewu  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/trusting-the-process/id1377232699      Watch Trusting The Process on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@trustingtheprocessofficial      Follow Trusting The Process on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trustingtheprocesspod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@trustingtheprocesspod      Follow Debra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrachosen  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debra_chosen      Follow Shakaila: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shakailaelise/  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fashionispsychology  Website: https://fashionispsychology.com     Production: Consultridge  Branding & Strategy: Bravery Studio     Subscribe to Trusting The Process Mailing List: https://ttpnewsletter.myflodesk.com/join     For business & partnership inquiries Email: [email protected]
