Welcome to the last episode of Confessions of Hyper Achiever Season 1. Today, I share the concept of vulnerability hangover. While I originally had different plans for this podcast, it morphed in unpredictable ways and presented opportunities for growth and expansion I couldn’t have imagined.

Join me as we delve into the importance of trusting yourself, being vulnerable, and giving yourself permission to create new strengths.

Hyper achievers often strive for improvement. We can use the idea of "better" against ourselves, though, like needing to be better about our eating or saying no more often. This language reinforces the idea that what we're doing isn't enough, and we need to do more to reach an imaginary metric of "enoughness." It can also create an underlying feeling of lack and inadequacy. There’s another perspective available. Tune in and find out. 

I recently took 114 days off from my business. it wasn’t on purpose at first, but that’s how it played out.

In episode 5 I said sometimes we wait until things are really bad before we make a change.

Well, that was me, too.  This is the story of creating deep safety, not through actions and hustle, but through thoughts. I hope you enjoy.

In this episode, we discuss the difference between coping and regulating and why one is a short-term fix while the other is a long-term strategy. And In the confessions spirit, I share my vice of choice for coping, what it nearly cost me, and how I’ve learned to process stress and strong emotions. 

There’s so much more to handling stress than drinking a glass of wine or eating cookies after work. Neither of these goes to the core of the issue, and neither will help you process and release what’s going on inside you. Listen to find out more.

Expectations are something the typical hyper achiever already has, but what about the other people in your life? Like your partner, your kids and your co-workers. Or possibly people you supervise or people who supervise you. What are your expectations of them? Are they rooted in belief and optimism? Or have you lowered your expectations because of the evidence they’ve given you in the past? 

Tune in to learn about unconscious expectations, how they limit those around you, and how to shift your perspective to create a supportive energy for everyone in your world.

In this episode I’m talking about fitness. Being fit in the past and not being fit, at all, in the present. What happens when the years of hard work slowly start to slip away and the self concept you once took so much pride in no longer exists? How do you deal with who you’ve become, especially if you don’t like her? This is what I unpack in Episode 3 and hope you can find a piece of gold or two to apply to your life, if this is something you’ve experienced.

In this episode, I share the story of my coaching business masterminds and how I unconsciously looked for certainty where much more profound work was required.

The thing is, searching for certainty is much more pervasive than we think.

Tune in to hear another option - an option that helps you create certainty and safety for yourself instead of outsourcing it.
