Sharks - the silent apex predators that you don't see coming until they have already made their kill. What does it look like to take on the traits of being a shark? Can it be done well and in an ethical manner? Besides the sharks in Finding Nemo who say "fish are friends, not food" sharks get a bit of a bad rap. When I think of who embodies these characteristics most in order it goes #1 The Cast of Succession then #2 my friend Eric Roy. Eric is a Large Enterprise Account Executive for Box.com which is a jargon-y way to say he makes big a** sales for a living. Overall, together we discuss how to get what you want out of life and what behaviors you can utilize to do so - whether you’re looking to nail a large sale or try to find a better parking spot, this episode is for you. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you want to take up more space? Are you nervous that you will come across as too big or too intimidating? Or are you on the other end of the spectrum and want to be more comfortable being reserved in your nature and not forced to talk to everybody at a party? Taking up space looks different for everybody but ultimately I think each of us want to be comfortable in our own skin at the end of the day. If you've ever been told "just be more confident" was your reaction "oh, awesome, that solves it!" or did it feel more like a condescending and trite comment? I bring in my friend Angel as we unpack the question of "how do I become a more confident person?" My personal take is confidence is an identity question. Before we can access confidence in who we are we have to have identified who we are, then Angel adds on top of it that we also have to like who we are in order to own a room authentically. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Weird title, right?  It seems we accept the love that feels familiar - whether that is for better or for worse. What I want to explore is wondering are we destined to only repeat the pattern set for us or is there possibility that we can heal and set new paths for ourselves?  My guest this episode is my little sister Clancy who had a similar upbringing to me but an entirely different trajectory of life and relationships.  We come from a strong matriarchal lineage which informed us from a place of strength as well as some dynamics we didn’t want to repeat.  Whether you’re married, dating, or single I think there will be some value in exploring what you’re drawn to in a relationship and whether it’s the first time you’ve incurred this type of love or whether it’s a repeated pattern. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you not botch a job interview? I’m a part of a scaling company and had to facilitate 100+ interviews over the last year - some people completely nail it and others bomb.  I’m asking - what makes someone tank an interview? And how can you ensure that you stand out above the crowd of other candidates vying for the same job? Or what if you’re the one responsible for hiring people - how do you vet out someone within the confines of a 30 minute discussion? What I land on is that ultimately you need to GWC (Get it, Want it, and have the Capacity to do the job well) and then believe in the VALUE that you can bring into that workspace. Whether you’re looking to transition jobs in the future or are wondering if the one you’re currently at is a right fit I think you’ll find some value in listening to this episode.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I am curious about… Botox. I’m 31 so all my friends and I are at the stage of asking ourselves, “Do we do Botox? Is it preventative? Should we have already started and are we too late??” In this episode we explore the initial questions of why do we make changes to our bodies and what motivates us to do so? Are we born with thoughts about ourselves or is that all in relation to our nurturing / outside voices in childhood? Do we ever stop to question a thought that comes to mind and ask “Is that really true? Do I actually believe that?” I even share my personal stance on “body neutrality” even as opposed to “body positivity.”  Join me as we talk about the ways in which we discuss our own bodies’ and others.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi, I’m Haven. For as long as I can remember I’ve had thoughts, ideas and questions inside of me that I love to talk about with friends and, usually over a tasty vanilla oat latte, together we pull the thread of those curiosities to explore them in a safe context. But I now have a more demanding job, I’m a mom to two little kids, I still want to have some semblance of a social life and oh yeah nurture my 10+ year marriage.  …I wanted to carve out a space to allow myself to express that again and make it a priority.  So…I did just that.  Haven!, my new podcast, will be a safe space for curiosity. We’ll explore trains of thought to see where they lead us for no other reason than because we want to.  I think we’ll find we are considering or worrying about or contemplating the same things at the same time as other people are too.   I don’t claim to have the answers and we probably won’t find solutions. But I really do believe the questions are actually where the power is. I’m here to be curious. And to talk about it. I hope you’ll join me.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
