Olga's Way

Today’s episode touches on the topic of cycles coming to an end, something personally meaningful to me as I announce the closing of this podcast. After five wonderful years, I’ve decided to retire the podcast, a decision that’s been building with little signs and feelings. I explore how life is full of cycles, whether in relationships, jobs, or personal growth, and how accepting these cycles can lead to personal transformation. I share how I recognized the ending of this cycle from body signals and thoughts over time and feel at peace with this decision. I encourage you to recognize and embrace your own cycles, viewing them as opportunities for growth and transformation. I also invite you to stay connected through my newsletter and upcoming workshops, and consider joining my 12-week 'Be the CEO of Your Life' program starting November 19th, a chance for 10 women to build confidence and community. Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for the final episodes. Helpful links: Follow us on Instagram: @⁠olgas.

In this episode, we explore the powerful idea that your brain is not your enemy—it's your greatest ally. However, many of us unknowingly work against our minds, leading to feelings of being stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed.

Do it with love or leave it is the episode for YOU if… you end up resenting others when you eagerly raised your hand or offered to help, but now it feels like they’re taking advantage of you. Or, if you constantly feel frustrated at the things you have to do and the joy of life in those moments seems so far away. “Do it with love” is a mindset. Like it is, to leave it, delegate it or, postpone it to a time when you can do it with love. Sound easier than it is, but this episode will surely inspire you to getting it done. Life is so very short, why spend any moment of any task hating?   Important links: -       The Practice: https://olgaswaycoaching.myflodesk.com/thepractice/ -       Private Coaching: https://olgasway.com/1on1coaching/
