Episode notes

Are you sick of doing what you’re "supposed" to do? Are you jealous of others? Are you noticing your negative self-talk getting out of control? Are you procrastinating like crazy (then beating yourself up?)

Overachiever Deborah Hurwitz was too, and she broke free from the old masculine identity that defined her and now owns her time, work, and success and is here to tell you how to break free from your self-destructive patterns, too.

“We don’t recover from perfectionism. Perfectionism is really a type of fear.” – (1:39) Deborah

“Ironically, perfectionism is the thing that has us not doing the thing we want to do.”- (2:55) Deborah

Listen as she lets you in on the secret of how to live the life you sit and dream about. Learn how to align with your path and live the confident, fulfilled life you know you’re meant to live.

“You get to a point where you're gonna really make those changes or take those actions, however small, you wanna ask yourself, what am I unwilling to tolerate?

“Tony Robbins famously says, you don't get the life you want. You get the life you're willing to tolerate. What are you no longer willing to tolerate? So if you're saying, I'm not willing to tolerate that, but it's actually in your life, you're tolerating it.” (16:57) Deborah

You also get to learn why multitasking sucks, and how to stop tolerating the intolerable. Empower yourself with this episode!

“Because I was chasing the metrics of success that I thought I had to have, in order to have those metrics of success, I had to sellout a lot of stuff that really mattered to me.” (9:09) Deborah
