499: You're Not Tired. You're Tired of Performing. [Poolside Confessions]

from School of Self-Image · host Tonya Leigh

Welcome to Poolside Confessions, my summer series where I sit by the water, slow down, and share what I'm actually living and thinking about. Last year, I felt a very particular kind of tiredness. Not physical. Emotional fatigue paired with restlessness, and I couldn't figure out why. Was it my hormones? The time of year? What I discovered was something else entirely: I was tired of performing. I don't think of myself as a performer. I live close to my values. I know who I am. And even still, I had been performing. In this episode, I share what I found when I got honest with myself – and why breaking up with your own success strategies might be the most important thing you do this year. Here's what we cover: What success strategies are – and why even your best ones expire Why the things that carried you this far might not take you all the way The moment you realize you're at a three, not a ten Why it's harder to let go of what's working than what isn't The question that cuts through everything Why the fatigue you're feeling has nothing to do with supplements What it actually means to be fully alive Did you enjoy this episode?
