Most Stressed Out Successes fantasize TOO much about what could have been not realizing that this type of indulgence is blinding them to the opportunities that exist right now. Instead of looking ahead and feeling good now, we spend our free moments throughout the day kicking ourselves for what could have been and fantasizing about how life could be right now if we had chosen differently. The iron...

Have you ever faced a new role or project and found yourself too overwhelmed with stress that it actually prevented you (or made it really hard) from achieving your goals?

Are you growing resentful at the people around you, requests that come through, or even your own calendar? Do you ever wonder to yourself, "Why don't I have more time to do the things I WANT to do?"? Believe it or not, so many Stressed Out Successes find themselves blurring the lines between a strong work ethic and people pleasing. But just because you can do the job (and do it fast!), it doesn't...

Oftentimes indulging in our own illogical fear prevents us from taking action, which then results in future pain. For example, if you've ever needed to hire someone but the fear of hiring the WRONG person keeps you from making the hire, the pain you eventually feel (whether that's burnout from working longer hours, dealing with customer service, or slow growth) drives you to take action immediatel...

Believe it or not most Stressed Out Successes are living within this  invisible BOX of what they think their lives need to look like... ... without ever questioning their deepest desires first. If you've ever felt unsatisfied or even unhappy as you were going after a goal, it could very well be an indication of operating within your BOX instead of your heart. Or, perhaps you've ALREADY reached you...

Do you sometimes feel as if you feel MORE than the average person and it almost feels like a second job just to manage your energy levels so that you can feel "good enough" to go to a networking event or even a social event? Do you ever feel overstimulated by things that seem "normal"? Things like the news, gossip, loud noises, or even the latest fire at work? If so, you might be sensitive or even...

If you're a Weekend Warrior AND feel like a Stressed Out Success then you probably use your weekends to release some major steam. This works great, until it doesn't. Suddenly you might find that the weekends are just as stressful or worse, meaningless, which only adds to the feeling of stress. And what most people do to fix this is all of the WRONG things. They try to find more interesting events...

Stress can sometimes be the scapegoat for something much deeper. And so what that looks like for most Stressed Out Successes is they blame the multiple deadlines, sudden changes in policy, or that one specific person for their unhappiness. The truth is, sometimes it goes beyond stress; and in this week's episode I'm breaking down the 3 biggest reasons for career unhappiness. If you've tried workin...

Oftentimes we have trouble letting go of the past because of how we think it's affecting us now. We say to ourselves: "If that work incident never happened then I'd be more confident." "If only I had handled it differently... I'd be in a completely different place." "I can't believe I did that again." The truth is, the past no longer exists. But what DOES exist is our thoughts about the past NOW....

If you're like most Stressed Out Successes, part of the reason why you feel so stagnant in your career and personal life is because you are DENYING parts of who you really are.

And yet, most people try HARDER to be...

Are you tired of the conversations you have inside your head? Maybe the conversation is always centered around controlling what happens, analyzing people and every outcome, or replaying that embarrassing moment in the past. Most Stressed Out Successes believe that if they can just resolve THIS problem then they'll finally feel better. Unfortunately, what most miss is that it isn't necessarily the...

If you still have that goal that seems to elude you every single year, and just thinking about it stresses you out... You are probably stuck between the WANTING of this goal and the DECIDING of it. When we are stuck in the wanting of something, inevitably the reason why we haven't realized our goal is because, unconsciously, we are also in the NOT wanting of our deepest desire. There are hidden th...

Most Stressed Out Successes believe that if the problem just went away THEN their stress will go away too, and then everything will go back to normal. Unfortunately, if you've been operating under this model, then you're probably still stressed, handling one problem after another, and wondering if maybe... ... this is what life is SUPPOSED to feel like.

Most stressed out successes believe that abundance is right around the corner. "Once I get that promotion, then I'll really feel good." "Once I make this much, then I'll feel more secure."
