Ep#177 - Getting Out of Getting It Right

In this joyous episode, we’ll explore ‘high standards’, ‘getting it right’, and other terms we use that really mean perfectionism.  It’s something that many of us high achievers do. 

 

We’ll explore the definition (and trap) of perfectionism.  We’ll also explore the components of it and how to untangle ourselves from the web that keeps us stuck.  All to reach a higher level of living an unstoppable life.

Ep#176 - Recovering Better

 

High achievers. . . we deny a lot, especially when things change and we are struggling.

 

Today’s episode provides a framework for recovering better. . . starting from when there is an abrupt change and your mind is spinning around in overwhelm.  I’ll share what’s normal, what we do and no longer have to, and how you can create more calm and ease.  It’s all part of living an unstoppable life.

Ep #175 - Lessons on the Road to Being Still

Being still is not something we high achievers do often (or well).  We prefer staying busy with an overloaded to-do list.  (Big smile) 

 

Today’s podcast episode is all about the last 2 weeks and a new call to be still.  I’ll share the precipitant for this unexpected journey, and the lessons I’ve learned.  Laugh with me and take some notes. . . there are take-aways for creating a more unstoppable life.

Ep #174 - Flourishing with Dr. Tricia Wooden

Life is difficult.  Relationships are difficult.  Organizations are difficult.  It’s been a difficult three years since the world changed.  So how do we move beyond surviving. . . into flourishing?  

 

Dr. Tricia Wooden is here to walk us through it.  She’s deeply introspective and has thought a lot about flourishing at an organizational level and personal level.  In this episode we cover what wellness looks like, how she thinks about it, and the habits she’s adopted to flourish in her life.
