The Connection Between Career Satisfaction and Healthy Eating, with Octavia Goredema

Difficulties in our careers can cause emotional stress, which can lead to overeating. Focusing on what we can control in a situation and letting go of the feeling that we have to do things perfectly is an important first step to relieving some of the stressers that can cause us to overeat.

In this episode, Octavia Goredema, renowned career coach and founder of Twenty Ten Agency, shares her insights on the relationship between our careers and our emotional and physical wellness, specifically overeating.

Octavia emphasises the importance of cementing our career values, which are unique to each individual, and asking ourselves questions to determine what matters most to us personally. By answering these questions, we can align our careers with our purpose, values, and passions, which can help us feel fulfilled and motivated.

She also suggests identifying what additional support we might need, whether it's talking to someone who has taken a similar leap or finding a coach or accountability partner who can provide guidance and support.
