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.

EP. 34 - How to Ask for What You Want (Part 2)
This is one of my favorite podcast episodes we've ever done!
Part One in this series was all about identifying the barriers that get in the way of asking for (and even knowing!) what you want and how to ask for the little things.
Part Two is about the big things. Asking for a compensation increase. Asking a partner (or parent, child, friend, etc.) for what you really want and need. Asking a manager for what you desire in your career. This episode cuts across the personal and professional and goes DEEP.
You'll hear more about:
- How the traditional negotiation tactics taught to women can work – and how they're also based in rules, bias, and discrimination and are, frankly, incredibly frustrating (have you ever been told to smile more to get what you want?!?)
- The question to ask yourself to get clear on the big things you want in your career, relationships, and every aspect of your life
- How knowing your worth allows you to ask for what you desire – and not just in monetary terms, but with everything in your life
- The one thing that will make receiving what you want SO MUCH easier
- The mindset flip anyone can use that gave me the motivation to negotiate for a raise in my corporate career and hold firm to my fees in my business
