Untraining the "Not Enough" Mindset

Dr. Tanya Raquel is a self-described “recovering joyful workaholic.” In this episode, Tanya discusses how she’s undone (and is currently undoing!) her scarcity mindset. The scarcity mindset can be tricky to identify. Oftentimes, it comes in pretty packaging and can look like success. The key difference is, this mindset results in burnout or chronically feeling a sense of, “not enough”. You rarely get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.Whitney, Iris, and Tanya engage in a vulnerable and enlightening conversation about living with a scarcity mindset: Where does this mindset originate? How are these scarcity thoughts trying to protect us? And most importantly, how can we slowly shift to a more abundance mindset.Join our hosts along with Dr. Tanya Prewitt-White as they discuss normalizing ambivalence, healing through coaching, and what we can learn about rest from tigers.Guest Bio: Dr. Tanya Raquel is a performance and executive coach and trained survivor advocate.
