What do you do if you’ve been out of work for a while, especially if your confidence is in freefall because you feel too old for the job market?
Sarah Glassey says she felt like she wasn’t just in a pickle after being out of work for nine months, but “stuck in a whole vat of pickles in a factory”. And with the stress and some major ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) making their presence felt – “I’m too old,” and “I don’t have the right skills” – life was not going Sarah’s way. 😬
So, how did she turn things around?
Here’s why you need to tune in
Sarah didn’t just lean into adding social media skills to her CV to land herself a new job. She discovered a whole heap of tools – including one from a 1980s advert for a chocolate bar and another from the film Cocktail – that have given her back her sense of self-worth and helped her get promoted.
Here’s what to listen out for:
[02:50] The stress of not knowing what to do next.
[06:50] Looking at things differently.
[10:31] What to do when you don’t have all the skills for a job.
[18:34] How do you go after a promotion?
[21:54] Do a skills inventory.
[24:30] How are you talking to yourself?
[27:10] The power of 5,4,3,2,1.
[28:54] Coughlin’s law.
[35:15] Are you too old or not too old yet?
So, if you’re stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do next or want to get back to work in a role you love, this episode is for you. ▶️▶️▶️

What have you done recently outside your role as a partner, parent or professional? A guilt-free activity that is purely about having fun and leaves you saying, “I can’t believe I just did that”?
If you’re like most women, chances are you are prioritising everyone but yourself.
But author Eve Rodsky believes that carving out time to explore the gifts, talents and interests that make you you is a necessity if you want to live a happier, more fulfilled life.
But how do you do that, how do you communicate that to those around you, and how do you get over the guilt and shame?
Here’s why you need to tune in
In this interview from the archives, Eve unpacks what a Unicorn Space is and describes her own failed attempt to find one using a Post-It note during the pandemic. She explores the communication styles of our CEO Joy and her husband Tim to demonstrate how you can have high cognition, low emotion conversations that let you implement boundaries and systems to ensure you have time for what Eve calls ‘daily flourishing’.
Here’s what to listen out for:
[01:00] What is Unicorn Space about?
[04:04] What is a Unicorn Space?
[08:33] The ‘Unavailable’ Post-It note.
[10:33] There is a formula for thriving.
[14:14] What is your communication style?
[21:26] What is your partner’s communication style?
[27:35] How do you communicate with yourself?
[35:09] Is Unicorn Space only for the privileged?
So, what will you do outside your role as a partner, parent or professional? Email us at [email protected] and let us know. ▶️▶️▶️
