130. My Award-Winning Book Ruined My Life!

Is the title of this episode a bit dramatic? Mayhap, but I assure you, there were far too many moments when it felt 100% accurate - my award-winning book was ruining my life! Tune in as, per usual, I give you the unfiltered story of how writing my book, Permission to Offend: The Compassionate Guide for Living Unfiltered and Unafraid, paradoxically muzzled my message. Listen in as I explore the dissonance created by trying to live up to the standard of being the "empathetic offender" 24/7, the impossibility of perfection, and how this unrealistic expectation held me back from showing up fully self-expressed. I also set the record straight for how I'm choosing to move forward, plus a little bonus step for you and a whole lot more. Dive in, start listening and make sure you - Apply What You Heard: Audit Your Perfectionism: Reflect on one area of your life where you might be holding yourself to an impossible standard. Ask yourself: Is this how I want to continue operating in 2025? Use the All-Outcomes Matrix: As described in Chapter 7 of Permission to Offend, use this tool to clarify possible outcomes and guide your decision-making. Practice Letting Go: Identify a situation where you’ve been afraid of being misunderstood. Take a deep breath, and remind yourself: “It’s okay to let them misunderstand me.” Enjoyed this episode?
