We’re your hosts – Jo & Jo. Yep, two Jo’s.

Why does 'professional' feel a bit ick? I'll tell

Why does 'professional' feel a bit ick? I'll tell you why chum, cos the concept of what is considered professional was determined by men (invariably white, middle to upper class, able-bodied men) back in the industrial revolution.

That's why it feels like trying to 'be professional' is like trying to shove a resolutely round peg in an uncomfortable square hole.

This is just part of the conditioning we've experienced to make us reliant on a system that was not built by us, for us, or even with us in mind.

Not only does this system not serve us, it’s actively damaging us.

Enough is enough pal.

Screw the system. Let’s build our own system.

If you wanna make your own system, say screw it to corporate conditioning, just pop a 💥💥 in the comments and I'll DM you the link to sign up to the waitlist for Be Free From Corporate Conditioning.

Tickets will go on sale the waitlist on Fridayyyyyyy 🤩💥

We leave employed life like SEEEEEYAAAAAA, but then we start to realise just how much of our ways of being, thinking, behaving have been shaped - CONDITIONED - by our employed life and how heavyyyyy that shit is.

Like:

💥how we assess our value and success (all about the money)
💥how many hours we work, even if we don't need to any more (9-5 anyone?)
💥the fact that we still 'make up the time' if we miss hours
💥the ways that we price ourselves (by the day?)
💥the systems and processes we MUST have in place to be 'professional'
💥our ideas about what even is professional
💥the shit we give ourselves if we haven't been productive enough

We leave employed life to give ourselves freedom. But when the cage has set up shop in our heads, it's hard to break free.

But break free we will chum.

If you want to find out how, have a look at the link in my bio for Be Free From Corporate Conditioning - you can find all the deets and sign up to the wait list to get access to tickets on Friday.

Do you also obsessively check your emails?? It's not just me is it??

This is suuuuuuch a throwback to the employed days, where I'd constantly refresh my emails because I just *knew* that the next email I received would go something like:

Dear Jo,
It has now become clear that you are terrible at your job, so you have been fired.
Kindest regards

Anyone else??

It becomes an act of self-sabotage to constantly check them so we know as soon as a shitty message comes in (even though they rarely do now!)

This is one of those sneaky bits of corporate conditioning that I want to help you shake off. To be free of your emails and the expectation and stress they put on you.

You know what I'm gonna say, the Be Free From Corporate Conditioning course is coming, get yeself onto the waitlist if you'd like first access to tickets.

And tell me, what's your hourly refresh rate on the inbox?? 😬

I feel pretty shitty today. And you know what's m

I feel pretty shitty today.

And you know what's making me feel more shitty? That it's a Monday and I've done zero work.

Cos on a Monday we're sposed to SPRING into the week like a little bushy tailed bunny and SMASH our to do list (don't even have one - that's the level we're working at).

But this is just CRAP from employed life that we've managed to drag into our self employed life.

I don't need to have a super productive Monday (thank god).
I can sack off work and LOL away to a podcast.
My value is not determined by the time I sit at my desk (doing zero work).

This is all CORPORATE CONDITIONING that we do not need to keep in our self employed life.

Me course is coming - Be Free From Corporate Conditioning - if you want early access to tickets for this shizzle, you know where the link is.

Now I'm off to sit in my PJs. You?
