Hey Reader! 👋 Yesterday's live podcast interview with Monique Helstrom was fire 🔥. She laid out a master roadmap for recognizing, owning, and transforming the choices you make that create and maintain the unwellness that will eventually lead to burnout or breakdown. Monique's best advice: Stop performing and start being.Most of us are carrying a "shame backpack" filled with the stones of every minor mistake we’ve ever hidden. We’ve been conditioned to believe our worth is tied strictly to our productivity—essentially living as "human doings" rather than "human beings." After listening to this powerful episode, you'll learn:
Here is one immediate action to Interrupt Your Architecture of Unwellness: Identify one small, lingering mistake you’ve been hiding or "puffing up your shoulders" to cover—an extra space in a report, a missed email, or a minor deadline slip. Own it out loud. Tell a colleague or your partner, "I made this mistake, and I'm fixing it." By exposing the error, you prove to your "monkey brain" that you aren't going to die and that you are worthy of love even when you aren't perfect. ​You can catch the whole conversation here​ Based on your feedback last week, I've tightened the format and would love to hear what you think about this NEW version. ​​​TSITM ep 63 journal.pdf​ Here's to your health! |

You internalized this cultural expectation and it became this default thought and behavior pattern: you must constantly earn your place, your visibility, and your accolades. And guess what? That childhood hunger for...
Hey Reader, lets talk about why MVP Approach is the missing key to amplifying your success. Let’s be honest: mistakes are expensive. Whether it’s a product launch that flops or a "perfect" hire that quits after four months, failure usually feels like a setback. But for Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software, the secret to personal growth and business success isn't avoiding mistakes—it’s about maximizing the ROI on those failures by using the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) approach. In our...
