Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Unlocking your potential 
  • Allowing vulnerability and embracing authenticity 
  • Applying harmony in one’s life 
  • Short-term and long-term strategies for aligning with the self

 

Here’s a glance at this episode:

  • Confidence unlocks potential, and embracing a winning mindset is crucial for success. True success stems from internal fulfillment rather than external validation or societal expectations.
  • Removing the invisible "armor" of expectations allows vulnerability and redefining success on one's own terms. Shedding limiting beliefs and societal expectations can be uncomfortable initially but embracing authenticity is worth it.
  • Work should not constitute the entirety of life; aim for harmony by being present in each moment. High achievers may sense something missing, and coaching can help uncover core values and align pursuits accordingly.
  • Short-term strategies like gratitude journaling, breathwork, mindfulness, and hot yoga can provide peace and community. Examine your personal values, internal/external expectations, and self-imposed expectations to eliminate misalignment with the true self.

"All these layers on the armor makes us think that winning is an outside game, that it's all about the validation and the successes we receive. But in reality, success is about what I've uncovered about myself internally." —  Angélica Ponder
