Shed and Shine Special 001: What Does it Mean to be Driven? (ft. Doug Brackmann)
In this episode of the Shed and Shine podcast, Dr. Doug Brackmann, an expert in psychology, joins Rob Dube to discuss the traits of high achievers and their unique challenges. Drawing from his book "Driven," Dr. Brackmann shares strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome and the importance of separating emotions from identity. He emphasizes reconnecting with bodily sensations through meditation to heal trauma and reclaim joy lost to societal pressures. The discussion introduces the concept of the “observer” for navigating emotions and highlights practices like meditation and cold plunges to build self-awareness. Dr. Brackmann also warns against “false enlightenment” and stresses the need for continuous practice to maintain true self-awareness. The episode concludes with a focus on embracing authenticity, maintaining presence, and fostering human connection as key to personal growth and healing.
