The Superlatively Yes Podcast

When Your Brain Tries to go Rogue (Spec. Guest Shawn)


Listen Later

"Vision isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming the person who actually shows up for their own life."

In today's Mini Monday episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya sits down with Shawn for a thoughtful—and unexpectedly funny—conversation about fixing what's fixable, motivating ourselves without pressure, and developing a clear vision for the person we are already becoming.

This episode is not about reinventing your life or chasing some future version of yourself. It's about leading your thoughts, energy, priorities, and well-being right where you are. Tanya and Shawn talk honestly about how our brains absorb our environments, often without us realizing it, and why awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have for growth.

You'll hear practical insights paired with real-life humor as they explore how we sometimes overperform in one area to make up for another where we're underperforming, and how noticing that pattern can be freeing rather than discouraging. This Mini Monday is grounded, motivating, and refreshingly doable, with reminders that growth doesn't require perfection, just intention.

If you're looking for a Monday reset that feels encouraging, realistic, and human, this episode is for you.
