I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

Sabai dee pii mai - Happy Lao New Year.  I've been hearing from friends and clients that they're feeling more stressed, anxious, and sometimes depressed.

 

Given what's going on the world, it's not a surprise.  Wars.  Gun shootings.  Political upheaval.  Police brutality.  It's a lot.

 

So instead of the usual interview with guests, this episode is dedicated to reconnecting with our bodies and our breath.  

 

The meditation itself is less than 6 minutes (0.1 billable hours). 

 

If you want to skip straight to the meditation, it starts at 3:16.


If you can't do the full meditation, then do 5 deep breaths (in through the nose, and out through the mouth) first thing in the morning, right before bed, and anytime you're feeling anxious.  I promise you'll start to notice a huge difference.
