Welcome back to ABGW, where we delve into the heart of self-discovery and resilience. I’m Cheryl Paris, your stress trauma coach and clinical hypnotherapist, guiding you through the complexities of leadership in challenging environments.
In this thought-provoking episode, we confront the insidious nature of pace shaming and the toll it takes on our sense of worth.
Drawing from my own experiences, I share one of the origins of the ABGW motto—an antidote to the relentless pressure to perform faster without clarity or support.
Join me as we explore how borrowed mottos often fall short, and why it’s essential to cultivate a personal mantra that resonates with your truth.
I’ll introduce you to my own guiding principle:
“Every step you take, no matter how small, is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future. Trust in your journey.”
As we navigate the new year, 2026, it’s time to redefine our resolutions, shifting from external expectations to internal truths. This episode is a gentle reminder that progress is not measured by speed, but by the small, meaningful steps we take towards balance.
We’ll also conduct a practical Compass Check exercise to help you identify the pressures you face and choose actionable steps that align with your well-being. Remember, your modus operandi must be non-negotiable, especially in a world that demands more from you.
So, take a moment to breathe, reflect, and embrace the journey ahead. You’re not alone in this; support is available. Let’s reclaim our narratives and move forward together.
