Episode 13: Learning to Feel
What happens when you stop performing and start feeling?
On this episode of My Day Job, I sit down with Amanda Lee, founder of ATTICA Coaching and a trauma-informed executive coach to talk about the one skill that rarely makes it into career conversations: emotional awareness.
We talk about what it means to live in alignment, why so many of us default to overachievement and people-pleasing, and how burnout can sometimes feel like the only option when you’ve been raised to “just keep going.” Amanda also shares her decision to leave corporate, the reality of working with high-profile clients (Michelle Obama included!), and why being in survival mode isn’t a badge of honour, it’s a warning sign.
Whether you’ve been laid off, feel stuck in survival mode, or are just tired of pretending you’re fine, this conversation is a reminder that learning to feel isn’t weak. It’s the work. And it might be the smartest move you make.
