EP 138 // Perfectionism, Perception & Pe...

Haley Bond - Encouragement Coach, Motivation Mindset Mentor and Teacher
About this episode

On today's episode of the Best Day Podcast, host Haley and special guest Shannon Talbot share an honest conversation on life as busy, working moms, seeking a life full of purpose, and desperate for more work-life balance.

In this episode you will find:  

  • How to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life
  • Encouragement to walk in your identify
  • Permission from perfectionism, people-pleasing and perception
  • The importance and value of receiving feedback
  • Permission to dream both big and small dreams
  • To find the joy in the little moments

Meet Special Guest Shannon Talbot ~

Shannon Talbot is a former Director in a big bank, former VP at an advertising agency, wife and mom of two young boys. Shannon has been featured on CBC Radio and in Today’s Parent, Chatelaine and Thrive Global.

While Shannon looked successful on paper, she didn’t “feel” successful as she wasn’t good at balancing work and home, nor her stress or anxiety. With each promotion, she felt imposter syndrome and burnt out as a result of trying to prove her worth. It wasn’t until her late 30s when she finally learned that by prioritizing her well-being, she could be even more successful, at work and home.

And now, as a Speaker, Author and Coach, Shannon helps other working moms to overcome self-doubt, achieve excellence, and find work-life balance while prioritizing family and personal well-being.
