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. 37 - FAQ: Your Top Questions Answered
I hosted three Grounded Wildness book launch events last month and got the BEST questions at all of them! I'm taking the top questions from those launch events and answering them all in the episode today! Some are about Grounded Wildness - and some have nothing to do with the book. Here they are, in order:
- What's the difference between An Overachiever's Guide To Breaking The Rules and Grounded Wildness? Do I need to read An Overachiever's Guide first?
- The word "wildness" can have a negative connotation. What made you chose that word and what does grounded wildness mean?
- How much of what you talk about in Grounded Wildness is just natural maturation as we get older? Like, isn't breaking the rules we were handed just a part of growing up for all of us?
- What's your relationship to social media? Do you set boundaries? Do you find yourself performing on social media?
- What does it feel like to be in grounded wildness, whether that's in your body, mind, heart, or spirit? How do you know when you're NOT in grounded wildness?
- What do you wish could have gone into the book that didn't make it?
- Did you always want to be a writer?
- Are all the rules gone for you now or are some still around? If so, which ones?
- What's next? Are you writing another book?
