She emphasizes the importance of understanding that you can never experience true freedom if you always need to be in control. Through her own life and practical strategies, she guides listeners on how to cultivate a sense of freedom in their lives, particularly for high-performing individuals who often struggle with control. The conversation highlights the need for gradual changes and self-awareness in achieving true freedom. Takeaways: Burnout can often be overlooked until assessed. Goals should encompass both physical manifestations and internal desired states. Common themes in desired states often include self-trust and freedom. Freedom and control are opposing forces in our lives. True freedom requires internal acceptance before external changes can occur. Checking emails constantly can indicate a lack of freedom. Introducing freedom in small steps can help the nervous system adjust. Discomfort in changing habits is a sign of growth, not failure. Self-awareness is key in distinguishing between control and freedom. High achievers can learn to experience joy and presence in their lives.   Chapters: 00:00 Understanding Burnout and Goal Setting 02:26 Exploring the Concept of Freedom 05:07 The Relationship Between Control and Freedom 09:58 Internal Freedom vs. External Control 19:05 Strategies for Cultivating Freedom in Daily Life   If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe and give the podcast a 5 star review where ever you listen to it so we can reach more people who need support on their journey to success.
