In Session 11 with Angie, we discuss what happens when we are able to fully live into our values in business. Hint: It's REALLY good. We meet Angie in a place she did NOT think she'd be in just a few months ago and get to see the passion, conviction, and excitement that's come back online for her. We also join her as she processes some of what's happening in the industry that's upsetting her and the balance of calling it out without compromising her values.

In this solo episode, we discuss how to unwind that "hard worker" identity that so many of us high-achievers have - especially because we see it as the thing that has gotten us the results we wanted. This is so much of what Angie has been processing thus far in our sessions and it's so valuable for us to experience alongside her.

In this episode, you'll hear: How we can often believe that 'hard work' has been the only thing that's gotten us what we wanted and how there's usually more to the story A realistic level set about what work actually IS required in business The one element that's absolutely crucial to starting the process of undoing overworking The first step to showing yourself that a new way of operating is possible The thing I think so many of us are VERY hesitant to acknowledge and so we credit 'over working' for our success instead Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Angie on her website
