Grounded Wildness
Let's face it. You've been surrounded by messages your entire life telling you to prove your worth through achievement, success, likability, and a million other forms of being "good." Over time, those messages become rules you follow, often without even knowing it. Those rules make you believe everything will fall apart if you slow down. They tell you it’s your job to be responsible for everything and take care of everyone. They make you feel guilty for saying no. They tell you to prove, please, and perfect your way through life. It's time to stop. It's time to break those rules – and start living in grounded wildness. Join speaker, award-winning author of 'An Overachiever's Guide to Breaking the Rules' and 'Grounded Wildness', and recovering perfectionist Heather Whelpley as she shares honest conversations that will empower you to stop performing your life and start LIVING it. If you're tired of burnout, hustle culture, and the weight of “should” and “supposed-to” and want more joy, impact, and freedom in your life, this podcast is for you.

Grounded Wildness
Four Ways You're Performing Your Life - Part Four: Rebelling
We've covered proving, pleasing, and perfecting in the last three weeks and now we're down to the final way we perform in our lives: Rebelling.
That might not sound like performing. Rebelling might sound a lot like wildness, which is part of what I preach! But rebelling isn't GROUNDED wildness - it's just wildness. It's breaking the rules ON purpose; not WITH purpose. It's pushing against expectations and doing things differently just to do them differently - not because they actually feel good and authentic to you. Rebelling has a bit of a "Screw you, I can do what I want" kind of attitude. You probably know that feeling!
In today's episode we'll cover:
- Examples of rebelling so you can recognize it in your own life - and take yourself back from this unique kind of performing
- How to tell the different between rebelling and grounded wildness
- The next step when you're TIRED of all the performing (we'll be diving into this in more detail in the next episode, so be on the lookout for that one!)
