Tackling Trauma and Triumphing in a Man’s World
Ever mulled over how to tackle discrimination in a male-dominated workspace? Or how to confront traumatic experiences while maintaining professional poise? If those niggling questions of “Can I really handle this?” or “Is it all worth the stress?” have ever crossed your mind, this episode is tailor-made for you.
Say hello to Sophie Brigden, an ex-army officer and the founder of Be Your Best Coaching, a woman who’s been through the wringer and come out stronger. Journey with us as Sophie spills on being the lone female officer in her battalion in Afghanistan. She doesn’t just talk about the snide comments or the snubs – she shares about digging deep and proving every naysayer wrong. But here’s the real zinger: Sophie battled PTSD post her army tenure and turned to Neurofeedback to manage trauma and mental strain.
She’s not just an inspiring narrative; Sophie’s your mentor for the day. She’s got actionable advice on voicing out in professional spaces, setting boundaries, and tackling toxic dynamics head-on. Do you know those moments when you doubt your worth, place in a room, or ability to bounce back? Sophie’s been there, done that, and she’s here to pass on those survival (and thriving) strategies to you.
Ladies, this isn’t your average chat. It’s a toolkit, a pick-me-up, and a call to arms all rolled into one. Expect raw truths, hearty laughs, and golden nuggets of advice. After all, if Sophie can rise above it all, so can you. Plug in, get cosy, and let’s decode how to Work It Like A Mum – army style!
