Have you ever caught yourself making assumptions that didn't pan out? As someone who's been self-crowned, the queen of misguided assumptions, I know firsthand how this habit can lead us astray. In this eye-opening episode of Midlife Catalyst, I sit down with Tami Shaw, a learning and talent development expert, to explore how we can flip the script on the stories we tell ourselves.

We also dive into the delicate balance between striving for excellence and embracing imperfection. Tami shares her journey of learning to rest and recharge, offering valuable insights for those of us caught in the perpetual cycle of "go, go, go."
