Tell the truth. Do you keep rehashing the story that you’re not quite up to snuff? When you sit at your desk in the morning, do your thoughts run to the negative? When you wrap up your work at the end of the day, do you remind yourself of everything you didn’t get done? In today’s episode, I take on the New York Times. And I give you a much-needed reframe. We’ll explore the way you work and maybe consider your work-day and work-life are not all about the mythical and unattainable idea of “high performance!”

Today’s episode is brought to you courtesy of a recent New York Times article that gave the American people yet another lame diagnosis...that we are all “languishing.” (The article went viral. Americans eat this stuff up.) 

Later that week, I got a message from a client telling me that she read the article and thought she, too, might be “languishing.” Then she asked if she thought it was a good idea to hire one of those high-performance coaches to kick her ass back into shape.

Hold. The. Phone.

Is that the answer we need right now? Do you really need judgment and military-grade bootcamps? 

Nope. Nada. Nix. 

Today I have a reframe to offer you. Thinking space and reflection. A natural way of being (shocker!). Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into two lessons directly from a brand-spankin’ new Uplevel Cafe mini-coaching series called “The Soul-Sourced Mindset Intensive.”

Together we will boldly flip it around. To embody the service, progress, and beauty of your business - rather than the “never enoughs.” To see the life force of your business - and access the undeniable truth of what your work is all about. 

And my friend...you are NOT languishing. A Soul-Sourced business owner simply does not buy into this messaging. Instead, it’s about going within, accessing those deeper wells and seeing your energy for what it is, and then renewing and restoring. Give it a listen.
