A lot of the people I work with are born workers. They started working early in a lot of cases. Especially early in their careers, work provided growth, learning, mastery, and success.

But at some point, they started to feel like work took up too much space — over time or overnight. Mental energy, emotional energy, or time.

So the thing they love (work) that is such a part of their contribution, identity, and values, has started to feel like a source of frustration.

They want to make an impact, but they want to do it in a sustainable way.

Today on the podcast we’re talking about exactly this. Sustainable impact.

I’ll share why so many people reach this point. I’ll also share exactly what steps to take to create your own impact. Sustainably.

If you identify with even one of the sentences above, don’t miss this episode. 🤓😉

Thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast, I’m sharing one of my favorite, super-practical techniques for shaking your brain out of a spin.

The human brain is an exceptional (if overexuberant) danger scanner.

This means that it sometimes (or often) defaults to negative interpretations — of a colleague’s tone or facial expression, or an interaction with a stranger. This is especially true when the stakes feel high. (Most of us don’t anxiously replay conversations with our best friends. But almost everyone has replayed an interaction with their boss.)

Asking your brain for alternative explanations shakes it out of danger scanning mode.

Tune in to hear exactly how.

Thanks for listening.

An exceptional mentor is invaluable. They provide perspective, wisdom, and guidance.

One of the greatest skills we can develop is to mentor our own minds. To learn to step in and be that voice for ourselves.

Today’s podcast is an in-depth, practical guide to developing or deepening this ability. I’m sharing more about what it means to mentor your mind, and specific, practical tips for exactly how to do it and when.
