Victoria Yim: On balancing her three side hustles, living on her own terms, and giving ourselves the permission to rest

Natalie Goh Season 1 Episode 7

When did you last give yourself the permission to rest?

If you're curious how a society that prioritizes productivity and achievement impacts parents, I get to unpack and explore this and more with my guest today, Victoria Yim. Victoria is in the social impact and philanthropy sector, and her reflections around rest and restoration come from her transitions in her work and personal lives.

We also talk about:
- The role her side businesses play
- How progressive workplace cultures empower its people to lead with compassion
- What she practices before going into a new role
- How to set boundaries at work
- Why a mindset shift for what maternity leave is needs to happen
- Learning to give herself the permission to accept help and to rest
- Modern parenting styles and why they can be counterintuitive
