Episode 88: Newsflash: Life isn't perfect

from Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen · host Andrea Owen

If you’ve been on the Internet at all the past few years, you’ve surely seen a rise in personal empowerment. Which makes someone like me ecstatic, because I love that more and more people are working on themselves, not to mention this is how I make my living.   However, like many trends out there, I see an unintended downside. Here’s what it looks like:   People start reading self-help, attend a workshop, or hire a 1:1 coach to help them live their best life. And they walk into these endeavors with the end goal that sounds like this:   “I want to wake up every morning, jump out of bed and love the shit out of my life. I won’t let anything or anyone get me down. Good vibes only!” #blessed When I see leaders in the industry making these promises for people, I cringe.
