EP0: The Label is Not Your Problem

You know the phrase. You can't see the label from inside the jar.The idea is that you're too close to your own genius to see it clearly; that you need someone on the outside to hold up a mirror so you can finally recognize your own value.But that's not actually your problem, is it?You can see the label just fine. You know exactly what you're capable of. You've spent years (maybe even decades??) building, proving, and delivering on that excellence. The label is not the problem.The problem is the jar. And nobody is talking about that.Welcome to the trailer episode for Get Outta the Damn Jar, the podcast for brilliant, high-performing women who have been so thoroughly reduced to useful that they've woken up in the middle of the night wondering: Is this it? Is this all there is?I'm not ringing alarm bells that it's time to get into crisis mode. But, we need to acknowledge the very specific exhaustion of being excellent at something that isn't the full extent of what you are. This show exists to give that feeling a name, and then help you actually do something about it.New episodes drop every week starting March 5th. I'm releasing three episodes at once so you've got something to chew on right out of the gate.
