The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

My guest today is Dr. Nayla Bahri. We get into all things work today: How to be resilient in good and hard times; behaviors that help you thrive; our relationship to work; why "making work" is important, passion vs purpose, and so much more. For Nayla's dissertation to get her doctorate degree, she did qualitative research around people who had been laid off in the 2008 recession and studied what made them resilient.  She discovered that there were certain behaviors that helped people thrive. We discuss those specific behaviors as well as exercises you can do to find more agency in your work.  All of the show notes can be found at thegoodlifecoach.com/083.

She shares during the interview how she felt she needed to have straight hair to look professional. Chris-Tia realized she wanted to wear her hair natural and that is when she decided to create her own line of hair products for women so that they could enjoy their curls and textured hair.  Her company makes natural hair and skincare products that are sold in Target, Whole Foods, Sally’s Beauty, CVS, and Walgreen's.   It has been a journey for Chris-Tia, where she worked full time as in-house counsel for a large software company while she built her company as a side gig.  It was a diagnosis with breast cancer at the age of 36 that changed her trajectory again, and prompted her to write her second book, "This Is Only a Test: What Breast Cancer Taught Me About Faith, Love, Hair and Business," and also signaled to her it was time to quit her job to work full time on her company.   She shares so many great life and business tips in this episode.
