The 'shadow' side that drives high-performing women

from Peak Revival

While the desire to excel is a powerful motivator for high-performing women, it can cast a shadow that impacts your energy, wellness and sustainable success.Last week, I talked about the five drivers for high performing women and today, we're diving into the "shadow" side of those drivers. By knowing how to tend to the darker sides of what propels us forward, we can make better decisions and foster routines that protect our well-being.We’ll unpack the complex dynamics of each driver and its shadow side:• The Visionary: Always chasing what's next while missing the present moment• The Mission-Driven: Falling into martyrdom and over-responsibility• The High Standards Bearer: Wrestling with perfectionism and control• The Achievement-Oriented: Tying self-worth to success metrics• The Redefiner: Balancing ambition with the desire for easeKey Takeaway: By identifying your primary driver and understanding its shadow side, you can make mindful choices that energise, uplift and sustain your success. Join me as I share practical strategies for incorporating recovery, celebration and boundary-setting into your high-performance journey.Previous episodes mentioned:- Is Being the Rescuer Burning You Out?- The 5 drivers that keep High-performing women pushing, even when exhaustedLINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Website
