I can’t believe we’re in December already!

It always surprises me how fast time goes and how slowly it can go at the same time.

So often we are focused on setting new goals, and what we need to do to move forward, but to be honest, one of the most effective things we can do is reflect on what has been working and what hasn’t and use that as fuel to change things up if needed or hit the reset button.

In this episode, I share some of my reflections on what my top five life and career lessons have been from 2022 to support you with coming up with what some of your lessons might have been.

We all know that achieving for “achieving sake” isn’t fulfilling. It can keep us on the hamster-wheel of DOING and keep us feeling like our achievements are NEVER ENOUGH. 

Cue: the desire for more meaning and purpose….

When we talk about meaning and purpose though, it can feel really fluffy and a bit ethereal.


But there are things that we can do to work more purpose into our projects and to say yes to initiatives that make us feel purposeful. 

Which begs the question….

What’s the difference between High Achievement versus Aligned Achievement?.

Well, that’s what we’re uncovering over on the podcast today….

In this episode I share the difference between these two types of achievement and why I want to support you in coming over to the aligned achiever camp, to bring more balance, fun and lightness to what you’re doing.

I’m really excited to be diving into today’s topic.

If you’re listening to this in November 2022 it is my intention to help you get clear on how you can map out the right goals for you before 2023. Even if you're listening to this after the fact, follow the steps to hit reset. 

We live in a culture that is hell bent on productivity and sometimes when you stay on that track without stopping to question if you’re working hard towards the right goals, you can wake up wondering “Where did I go wrong?”, “Am I on the right path?”.

In this episode we’re answering the question: How do you get on the right track and get clear on your career trajectory in 2023?

Down time and rest. What comes up for you when I say those words?

Are you really good at making sure that you have down time and rest in your schedule?

Or are you like many of my clients? Someone who doesn’t find the time for rest because your schedule is so full and you’ve just got so much to do.

The truth is we live in a world where there is a lot happening. Particularly post Covid, we now have the chance to do a lot of different things. As a result we can find ourselves really, really busy. And if we’re honest, really really overwhelmed at times too.

In today’s episode we’re exploring strategic down time. Why it matters and how to plan for it….especially when you’re busy. And particularly at this time of year as we lead into Christmas and the end of the year when things can get full on.

If you’re listening to this podcast chances are you’re a high achiever and top performer and someone who wants to do really well in your life and in your work. 

And yet you might find that sometimes you feel a little bit stuck.

Perhaps you sabotage your success…you hold back..you don’t say the thing you need to say. 

Even though you KNOW you want that next level thing and know what to do…

…..sometimes your body and your heart might not give you the resources to actually do that. 

Subtly and subconsciously it will hold you back. 

In today’s episode we’re exploring the specific 5 ways that high-achievers keep themselves stuck from going after that next level in both life, career and business. 

So you can identify what’s at play for you and more importantly what you can do to get unstuck.

Indecision can be such a time suck. 

Have you ever asked yourself if you should persevere with something or just give up?

Staying stuck takes up precious energy.

Like when you’re deciding whether to move city or country, change jobs or start a business. 

In today’s episode we’re exploring how you can begin to unpack the question around whether you should persevere or give up so that you can free up that energy and go ahead and "do" or "not do" the thing.
