Lany and I revisit the tensions present in the paradoxical giving vs receiving and confidence vs humility. Lany gives the perfect response to societal pressures on women to reject compliments. "Just NO!"

She helps people stop managing their genius and start flying from the tension that makes them remarkable. There is genius in every building she has ever walked into. Not potential — actual, specific, irreplaceable genius.

Most of it goes unrecognized. Some of it gets managed into compliance. Too much of it quietly dims. She founded Every Day Genius (EDGx365) because she needed a way to help people see what was actually there, in the building, every one of them, and in you — and give it a name people could carry.

My guest Lany Sullivan returns. In this episode, she has realized the need for self-care but mentions how societal labels rear their ugly heads when something other than the status quo is honored. This time it's the tyrannical label of selfish.

We've been learning about VIA Strengths at the rate of two per month since January. Today I share Gratitude, and I do it in a way I wish I had for the first seven. I map it for you. I show you what it looks like with the underlying framework of the EDG Butterfly Map, but not explicitly. I don't want to dissect it for you. I want you to see how it flies.

If Gratitude is one of your top strengths, you'll want to listen to this episode. If it isn't, you should still know that it's a gamechanger strength and can be developed. You'll want to listen in too!

My whole life seems to have led to this very point. That sounds philosophical, but I can trace the path! I've been drawing this map, living this map, my whole life.

In today's episode, I share that map. Because in a real sense, it's not just about me. It's universal.

It's not a metaphor, but an actual map — a shape that describes how you are already designed to move through the world. How you generate energy, how you think, how youcreate at your best. And what happens when that motion gets interrupted.

Carl Jung wrote “real life consists of a complex ofinexorable opposites – day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. If it were not so, existence would come to an end.”

It would seem that life is paradox, and without it, well… Paradox and polarity aren't the problem. They're the point. And they're why I do what I do!

My guest Lany Sullivan revisits the tension explored in episode [173] Repeatedly Starting Over, but today there's a shift in energy when she begins to describe how she bounces back from worthless to on her game once again.

Lany shares a pivot moment when she realized how much Yang energy she was giving without the proper balance of Yin. She didn't use those words, but the paradoxical tension was there. She then mentions corners, this idea that we can't see around them; we don't know what's next - and the need to keep moving anyway.

My guest Lany Sullivan is back, and we talk about starting over, something both of us know intimately. We discuss how starting over often isn't just being at zero, but sometimes more like negative five or negative twenty. Interesting dynamics and tensions in today's episode.

Today my guest Lany Sullivan of LanySullivan, LLC joins me for a series of episodes. Today we are deep in conversation about power struggles in the work place. One side of that struggle is emotional intelligence; the other might be called practical intelligence. Is there resolution?

Why Does Every Day Genius exist and is it for you? Does this resonate?

The origin story. The building. The red ink every morning. Themeeting dressed as feedback. The silent scream. The years of leaving jobs and calling it failure — without understanding that what I was carrying out of every one of those buildings was not failure. It was everything those buildingscouldn't hold.
