Some questions Tynan asks:

How can we avoid living life on autopilot?
If someone isn’t happy with how they’re showing up at work, how do they build their self-awareness and fulfill their potential?
What can we do to avoid & conquer distractions in the crazy?
How can people advocate for their own personal health & needs at work? How do we stand up for ourselves in a way that allows us to thrive?
How do we avoid letting fear sabotage us from asking for what we want at work (e.g. a promotion)?
How do we understand how to be lead by our hearts?
Is it normal to have mental health challenges? What can we do to get a handle on our mental health?

In this episode, you will learn:

At some level, we aren’t happy when we sell ourselves short. When we let the internal negative dialogue win, we know we can be better.
The crystal of BS = our worries about the future, what we think people think of us, what our boss might be thinking when we say something, etc. We need to take a breath and take inventory on where we are selling ourselves short.
Its incredible how we can’t take 25 minutes at the beginning of our day for ourselves… to get to know ourselves better. Avoid, at all costs, reacting and using your phone.
Take stock of your time. How are you truly spending your time all day? Taking stock of your time is crucial to know where it is being wasted, and where you can rearrange to ensure you are more present and free.
It’s rare that the “Hollywood drama” comes true that we’ve played out in our minds when it comes to having a “difficult” conversation about something like a side-hustle, or outside passion. Often, your manager will be more supportive than you could ever imagine.
If you can begin to understand that certain conversations have the potential to change your life (e.g. asking your boss for a promotion), you will begin to make bolder moves… but you also must become self-aware enough that will enable you to recognize the natural stressors & feelings that will come up.
If the reactive part of us is constantly in the driver’s seat (e.g. always checking your email… always!), then we will burn our selves out. Duh, take a break folks, set boundaries and be stern with your boss if you’ve allowed them to believe you are available 24/7. You deserve better!
