My Daughter Got in the Car With No Phone. I Haven't Stopped Thinking About It. (Jo Moment)

A 12-year-old’s “raw dogging it” car ride sparks a sharp look at how easily we turn even the smallest moments into managed outcomes. We unpack how perfectionism hides as preparation and how choosing a little more spontaneity can give us our lives back. • a funny teen phrase that reveals a deeper truth about control • how capable, high-achieving women over-engineer small moments • the hidden cost of managing every outcome and every minute • why “high standards” can be perfectionism in disguise • practising being surprised and doing things without a plan • letting the email, the decision and the car ride be messy enough If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it today. And don't forget to subscribe to Balance and Beyond for full episodes and more of these bite sized breakthroughs.Send a text message to JoThe Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance InstituteFor women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.We know high achievers, because we are one.
