How do I navigate living life for me with traditional parents?

That's the question we answer with our guest this week.


In this episode of Resilience In Action with Erin Brown, we chat with feminist career coach Demelza Lawless. Demelza and I chat about the nuances of living life on your own terms with very traditional parents. We discuss what a career change later in life could look like and generational differences and how things have really shifted in our daily lives.


This is an episode that you're going to want to watch so head over to EBSpeaks Motivation for the full video!!!


Get ready to dive into what Resilience In Action means to Demelza.


Bio:

Demelza is a Feminist Career Coach For Ambitious Women of Color, ex-esthetician and former HR Manager. Born in Singapore, raised in Australia and now living in New York; Demelza is not your average career coach. She works with women of color to self advocate for what they want in work and life without the shame or guilt or fear of rocking the boat. Her work focuses on destigmatizing self advocacy for women of color, because asking for more or what you want doesn’t have to mean having a confrontation. Working with Demelza means you’re going to feel seen; you’re going to feel heard. Demelza’s goal is to set up women of color for success again and again by giving them a way to unjumble their brain and stop their thoughts from spiraling into stress, anxiety and overwhelm.
