I'm wrapping up our series on avoiding burnout, which happens when we are driving and out of alignment. My catalyst for the series was Dr Neha Sangwan who was juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to climb back out and her new book is Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life. I then brought on Heather Monahan. We did a series just a couple months ago on Confidence Heather is a two times best-selling author, first with her book Confidence Creator, and now with her latest book, Overcome Your Villains: Mastering Your Beliefs, Actions, and Knowledge to Conquer Any Adversity. Heather is the host of the Creating Confidence podcast and she knows burnout from many years in the high levels of corporate America. But burnout can happen for anyone, anywhere, at any time, if you are not being authentic to you, and wreck your drive. Let’s hit the highlights.

We continue our series on Avoiding Burnout and my catalyst for the series was Dr Neha Sangwan, a doctor who did just that, burnt out. Her new book is called Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life I just saw Neha on the Today show alongside Mel Robbins and saw she’s going to be on Mel’s show, she was just on Gabby Reece’s show as well as Dr Mark Hyman and she’s hit a nerve with her insight. In this episode I brought on another expert on burnout, Heather Monahan. Heather did a series with me on Confidence just a couple months ago that I urge you to check out.

We are taking on the very real and present danger of…burnout. Something that happens when your drive is out of alignment. What you want and why is not resonating. My expert is Dr Neha Sangwan who comes from her own story as a doctor juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to jumpstart her journey of renewal and catalyze her mission to heal humanity. And that is what happens. We keep going and keep doing…until we can’t. That is the risk. If you are on the path to burnout, there will be an end. So we’re here to help you avoid this.

I wrap up our series on Human Design with my Big Idea, Big Takeaway & Big Action. Human design is another take on personality profiles. Think of Myers Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram. The purpose of these is to understand your natural propensities and predispositions, so you can better understand and leverage yourself and others. I’ll speak more to the benefit in a moment. The difference with Human Design is all the others are self reporting, while Human Design is based on your birth date, time and location.

We continue our series on human design, which we kicked off with expert Erin Claire Jones, one of the most influential people in the human design arena. This is part three where I bring in another expert to discuss the issue, and with me is Renée Marino. Many of you know Renée as she’s been a guest on the show and this must be the 5th or so time she’s joined me to co-host.

This is the What Drives You episode to talk with her through what drives her in all the key areas of life, and how she walks that out. Erin is an expert in Human Design and one of the most well known leaders in the space. She looks at how human design reveals our energetic blueprint and specifically, how it looks at how people are designed to cultivate relationships, parent, make decisions, build businesses, market, communicate, work within teams and so much more.

We kick off a series on Human Design. I first experienced it like a personality profile, which I’ve grown up taking, from Myers Briggs, to the Disc profile, to most recently the Enneagram. I greatly appreciate them all in regards to getting insight into my personality predispositions and propensities. But I’ve always struggled with the aspect that they are self-reporting. We choose the answers and I struggle to answer naturally.

I wrap up our series on mindset, specifically looking at what a growth mindset really is and the understanding that most of us are in fact not walking out a growth mindset, but are stuck in performance. This is our The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action episode to distill it all down. I kicked off by talking with Stanford-trained mindset expert Eduardo Briceño, the author of The Performance Paradox: Turning The Power of Mindset Into Action. It’s Eduardo’s research on how we miss the growth mindset that was my catalyst. He is also co-founder of Mindset Works with renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. I then brought on Tom Ziglar, son of famed growth mindset expert Zig Ziglar, and CEO of Ziglar. Ziglar as a company is one of the most premier growth oriented companies in existence. From these talks I’m made greatly aware of how I too get stuck in performance and am not actually growing. So in reviewing all the notes for the actions I want to take toward growth, I came up with the key points, and I want to share them with you.
