Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Minisode 564: On just being a normal human


Listen Later

Sometimes I record minisodes that I need to hear for my own personal or professional life, and this is definitely one of them! 

I know a lot of you who listen to the podcast probably consume a decent amount of personal growth podcasts, books, etc. and that’s a great thing! However, the thing to watch out for is perfectionism and/or high achievement in personal growth because that can be detrimental. 

Some questions to ask yourself to see if this might be you: 

  • Are you consuming so much self help that you forget that it’s okay to be human? That life hurts and is hard sometimes? 
  • Do you compare where you are to others, and feel bad that you’re not where you think you’re supposed to be? 
  • Do you forget sometimes that it’s completely normal to feel like shit at times, to go through incredibly challenging seasons and not have ways to get out of it?
  • Please remember that we don’t always have to be in a state of perpetual forward movement. Sometimes we move back, and sometimes we are still. It’s never linear. 

    In addition, there will be times in your life where you have some or even a lot of negative self-talk. 

    I close this minisode out with reading an excerpt from Make Some Noise about his topic, as well as a little pep talk at the end.
