201. Creating a Scary Good Life (with Angie Callen) In this episode of the Visibility Factor podcast, host Susan M Barber welcomes back Angie Callen to discuss her new book, 'Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries.' They explore the concept of the Sunday Scaries, Angie's journey from engineer to coach, and the importance of living intentionally. Angie shares insights on work-life equilibrium, the significance of writing a book, and the role of labels in shaping identity. The conversation delves into embracing failure as a learning experience, the permission to explore and change, and overcoming shame associated with personal challenges. Angie also introduces four key concepts that guide her philosophy: labels, quirks, who not what, and the poll. The episode concludes with reflections on visibility, leadership, and the journey of personal growth.   Scary Good represents living life intentionally and with purpose. The Sunday Scaries are a common phenomenon affecting many professionals. Angie's journey from engineering to coaching highlights the importance of following one's passion. Work-life equilibrium is more realistic than the traditional concept of work-life balance. Writing a book can be a transformative experience for both the author and the audience. Alignment with personal values is crucial for a fulfilling life. Labels can limit our identity; it's essential to explore who we are beyond them. Failure should be viewed as a learning opportunity rather than a setback. It's okay to change your mind and explore new paths in life. Overcoming shame and societal expectations is vital for personal growth.
