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.
