Stop Struggling: Lean on the Psychology of High Achievers
Ever feel like you’re getting in your way when it comes to peak performance? In this episode, the first in the series on the psychology of high achievers, Dr. Christine Li, clinical psychologist and procrastination coach, joins me to unravel why high achievers often get stuck in cycles of struggle, how our conditioning and core beliefs shape our productivity habits, and why so many of us equate self-worth with how hard we work.
Dr. Li shares her insights on breaking free from patterns of self-sabotage, procrastination, and resistance—explaining that “struggle is optional” and that these limiting habits are often learned, not hardwired.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding yourself back or want to find a path to success that feels more joyful and less exhausting, this conversation is for you. Stick around for actionable tips and information on Dr. Li’s upcoming challenge to help you re-energize your life and work.
