Episode notes

I hear this a lot and I've always sort of wondered about it, which is like, when people are in therapy and they're talking about their childhood. And then they do this sort of like destructive behavior and then it's your self sabotaging behavior. You know, working on those traumas is important if you go to a therapist. But if you're somebody who uses other events as a reason to self-destruct, you're seating power. It may be there may be a lot of truth to the terrible things that have happened. But you must shut the door at some point and say, you know, I am my own man or woman. And I move forward.

On the first of two special episodes, acclaimed executive performance coach and doctor of psychology Dr. Julie Gurner goes in-depth on a variety of strategies and actionable advice that will help you perform up to your potential. During this portion of her interview, Dr. Gurner discusses discipline, motivation, the imaginary rules we learned as children that hold us back today, setting boundaries, the advantages of caring deeply and challenging directly, and much more.
