"You are making a fool out of yourself, Baby". As adults, we hear naysaying and discouraging remarks all the time! But I believe all things worth doing are worth doing poorly at first. We all have "babylegs" moments where we learn to run or we fall on our asses. This podcast shares stories of people's greatest hits and "shits" in life, where they stumbled and failed their way forward.  <br/><br/><a href="https://babyonboard.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">babyonboard.substack.com</a>]]></description><link>https://babyonboard.substack.com/podcast</link><generator>Substack</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 08 May 2026 23:47:38 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/2967450.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><author><![CDATA[The Art of Falling Down Well]]></author><copyright><![CDATA[Chrissy Cordingley]]></copyright><language><![CDATA[en]]></language><webMaster><![CDATA[babyonboard@substack.com]]></webMaster><itunes:new-feed-url>https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/2967450.rss</itunes:new-feed-url><itunes:author>The Art of Falling Down Well</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Not pregnant.

Through her own company she coaches midlife and menopausal women to break free from the “good, secure job” narrative and grab the career they’ve always dreamed about. She helps her clients present themselves so confidently and compellingly that hiring managers can’t ignore them, negotiate the income they deserve and ultimately create the lifestyle they truly want.</p><p>Wendy knows what it’s like to be stuck. After a relationship breakdown left her as a broke single mum buried in debt, she invested in herself, sought out mentors, found supportive communities and transformed her mess into her success. And there have been plenty of hurdles along the way from growing up as a woman of colour in the vilest years of apartheid-era South Africa to enduring a terrifying armed hold-up in her first Australian job and battling the health challenges of diabetes and menopause.</p><p>Yet Wendy smashed them all. Now she runs her business on her own terms, guiding professional individuals and especially midlife and menopausal women to the careers they’ve longed for. It’s your time to break free from what everyone else says you “should” do and finally go after what you truly want - your Career 2.0.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.happycareerhub.com">⁠</a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.happycareerhub.com">http://www.happycareerhub.com⁠</a></p><p>The mission is; Our mission at Happy Career Hub is to help 1 billion women survive menopause when they feel like eating the house, selling the kids and punching out the partner and then forge their own Career 2.0 - the fulfilling life they truly desire rather than the life they’ve been conditioned to settle for.</p><p>And the title is 'Internal Uprising' </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://happycareerhub.com/career/internal-uprising-book/internal-uprising/">⁠</a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.happycareerhub.com">https://happycareerhub.com/career/internal-uprising-book/internal-uprising/⁠</a></p><p>Yes, we have a 'Mining your Story' free workshop which is great starting point to figure out the real achievements and the incredible 'stuff' you've done in your life and which sets you up for your next dream career - but most people don't see their own true value.

He came to realise that often what hinders institutions from achieving their goals isn’t the quality of their ideas; it’s their ability to engage effectively with others at all levels and remove barriers in their way; aspects he is an expert in. To build on his passion for this Faris set up Shiageto Consulting in 2019 to help businesses and individuals improve their strategic effectiveness. On top of leading Shiageto, Faris is now an accomplished speaker, writer and contributor for a variety of outlets.#PostivePalestinian</p><br/><p><a href="https://www.shiageto.com/" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://www.shiageto.com/</a></p><br/><p><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/farisaranki/" class="linkified" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/farisaranki/</a></p><br/><p><a href="https://farisaranki.medium.com/" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://farisaranki.medium.com/</a></p><br/><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/farisaranki/" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/farisaranki/</a> </p><br/><p>Babylegs is a production of Rise &amp; Thrive Wholeness Coaching</p><br/><p><a href="https://www.risethrive.ca" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.risethrive.ca</a></p><br/><p>Follow and subscribe to our Substack at <a href="https://babyonboard.substack.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://babyonboard.substack.com/</a></p><br/><p>Want to be a guest or know a great guest?
