Episode 196: Radical Self Acceptance - How to Achieve Your Big Goals Without Burning Out
In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, we dive into what it takes for women B2B consultants to scale from six to seven figures. Pulling from my new book, “Too Much”, I talk about finding the balance between self improvement and radical self acceptance.
Join me as I share insights from my coaching experience, shining a light on the emotional challenges high achieving women face and how to embrace ambition without fear of burnout.
Quotes:
“Radical self improvement is great. It drives us forward powerfully. It’s the engine for all of the amazing things we achieve. But radical self improvement isn’t usually kind. It doesn’t go easy on us. We actually don’t need to learn how to push ourselves as high achievers, especially when you have a corporate background. What we need to learn is how to be kind to ourselves.”
“When we match our radical self improvement with radical self acceptance, we change the narrative of growth as being hard and punishing to growth being natural, gentle, beautiful, and deeply, deeply expansive.”
“I have this inner drill sergeant who barks orders at me all day, and I know you probably do as well. Get up early, eat healthily, be at your desk by 9am, be productive, be more productive, do your workout… and it just goes on all day, like that. And one of the foundational premises with radical self improvement, if we strip it back, is that we do it from a place of feeling like not enough.”
