“There are external factors that can compound what we’re dealing with, but y’all, it really is us, how we view the world, and how we teach people to treat us.” – Dr. Raushannah “RJ” Verwayne The fear we all have of not being enough, not having enough, or not doing enough—that’s the same fear that overwhelms us into burnout and inaction. In today’s episode, Erin talks with Dr. Raushannah “RJ” Verwayne about how we already have what it takes to be our highest selves, that our best ideas are downloaded when we rest, and the journaling techniques that allow you to "dump.” If burnout is something you know a little too well, this is the episode for you. ICYMI – Your Post-Episode Homework: Identify if you have any signs of burnout in your life or if you notice any signs of burnout in one of your team members' lives.

“I will never be one of those speakers or coaches who tells people that they need to change. I actually believe the opposite. I don’t think people need to change–I think they walked out of the truth of who they really are.” -Justin Patton We live in an age of toxic self-improvement culture. Adding a daily 30-minute meditation, new skincare gadget, or bedtime supplement into our routine has become second nature. In today’s episode, Erin and guest Justin Patton discuss what it means to come back home to yourself despite everything we’re told we need to improve. As the Founder & CEO of The Trust Architect Group, Justin helps remarkable people discover what’s holding them back, how to build more trust in themselves and with others, and how to use their presence to impact people, results, and culture. Spoiler alert: today you are one of those remarkable people. ICYMI – Your Post-Episode Homework: Consider the four steps to repairing trust. You take ownership, you renegotiate the relationship, you ask for or extend forgiveness, and then you demonstrate a change in your behavior. Think about a relationship in your life that needs repairing and ask yourself how you can apply Justin's methodology to that relationship. More about Justin Patton: 1. He’s a former high school teacher with a master’s degree in education. He knows how to design leadership programs that stick. 2. He believes if you ever want to be a great leader of others, you must first be a great leader of yourself. He’s written three award-winning books that focus on helping leaders do that work. 3. He’s been lucky enough to work with some awesome brands like Taco Bell, GE Appliances, NCAA, US Chamber of Commerce, Anthem, Humana, Giant, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and many more! 4. He’s led the largest leadership development program in Taco Bell’s franchise history and worked with over 10,000 Restaurant General Managers.
