I’ve got Lauren Farina-Prieto, a psychotherapist and performance coach, on the show this week. Lauren specializes in working with high performers—those folks who seem to have it all but often struggle behind the scenes with perfectionism, self-doubt, and burnout.We explore the high performer paradox, the childhood roots of their relentless drive, and how values alignment is critical for maintaining mental and physical well-being. We also delve into why high performers can be their own harshest critics, how tobalance ambition with humanity, and the nuances of navigating relationships with these larger-than-life personalities. Whether you’re someone who considers themselves a high performer or you live or work with one, this episode shedslight on the tools and mindset shifts needed to thrive without sacrificing your health or relationships. Join me for this insightful, candid, and motivating conversation that might just change the way you think about success.
