With my new book “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma” officially available and in your hands this Thursday (6/23/2022), be sure to catch today’s special “Ask the Workplace Therapist” edition of The Workplace Therapist Show!

It’s an exciting podcast day because producer, Whitney, and I are back in front of the mics to talk about my new book, “The Author vs. Editor Dilemma: The Leadership Secret to Unlocking Your Team, Your Time, and Your Impact" launching Thursday, June 23, 2022!

Today, I’m reflecting on this special episode of The Workplace Therapist Show where producer, Whitney, and I discuss why I wrote “The Hot Sauce Principle” and how we can apply it to our working relationships today. While it’s a fun episode, it’s a great reminder that life is not meant to be an endless sea of to-dos. It’s a reminder that, taking control of our schedules, projects and other forms of urgency in our lives is a form a self-care - because that means more time for doing other things we enjoy.
“The greatest opportunity you have in your career is when you’re happy in it.” I’m excited to have Dr. Benjamin Ritter with me on today’s episode of The Workplace Therapist Show to talk about authoring a career you love.

More than 70% of us feel like pretenders; we feel like everyone around us has their life together while we continue to swing and miss.

While the feelings of imposter syndrome never fully go away, we can give such thoughts less power. We can learn to embrace our authentic self! On the podcast, Carolyn shares her three steps to do just that.
To celebrate the upcoming release of my book, The Hot Sauce Principle, on Audible, I'm sharing the first chapter on today's episode of The Workplace Therapist Show.
When the world shut down in March 2020, I was in the final editing stages of the book and felt a momentary sense of panic: had the book I spent all these months writing suddenly become obsolete? But still, two years after we first shut down, the urgency epidemic is as prevalent as ever.
So, I invite you to revisit and review The Hot Sauce Principle: How to Live and Lead in a World Where Everything is Urgent All of the Time.
