Episode notes
Intentional Routine Versus Autopilot
- Routine can be powerful when it is intentional and chosen with purpose.
- Autopilot routines that exist for survival numb your creativity and presence.
Stage Success Without Feeling
- Rachel describes performing on stage to standing ovations yet feeling emotionally disconnected.
- She later recognized she was dissociating from exhaustion during peak professional success.
