"No is a complete sentence" - Africa Archield
In this episode of Sober on Purpose, Tanya Gioia continues her conversation with Africa Archield, a seasoned business coach and life expert. Africa shares her journey of leaving a successful yet soul-draining career in the finance industry, illustrating the importance of finding work that aligns with one's true mission. She emphasises the idea that being excellent at something doesn't necessarily mean it's fulfilling, often leading to exhaustion and even physical repercussions.
Africa discusses the concept of the 'zone of flow', where tasks feel effortless and rewarding, contrasting it with perfectionism that can drain your energy and cause procrastination. She highlights the need to recognise when duties overshadow personal passions, advocating for the power of saying 'no' as a complete sentence. Her story serves as a reminder that success isn't just about financial gain but also about personal satisfaction and well-being.
The episode also touches on hustle culture and its detrimental effects, suggesting that stepping back can lead to better outcomes. Africa shares her insights on balancing work and life, and how meditation and mindfulness can be transformative practices in achieving this balance. Her approach is both practical and compassionate, offering listeners strategies to transition from overwhelming careers to fulfilling ones.
Africa's experiences provide valuable lessons for anyone feeling trapped in their current job or lifestyle, urging them to consider what truly makes them happy. If you're looking to redefine your career or life path, this episode might just offer the inspiration you need to take that leap.
