What It Means To Be Human With Kate Stirling

Coming back in for an episode having had some time to recovery from chemotherapy before I started radiotherapy. I explore the true meaning of high performance, emphasising the importance of balance, self-awareness, and holistic well-being. I challenges common misconceptions about pushing yourself to the limit and shares insights on how to achieve sustainable success by honouring your very human needs.I take a long pause after recording this but there will be new episodes soon as I have just finished radiotherapy and have been spending the last few weeks recovering. A lesson for me too in perhaps I should have just allowed myself to fully take the time ‘off’ or at least not set promises I didn’t have the energy to keep with production and output!In this ep I explore:Thoughts for you:00:00 Navigating Motherhood and Loss01:29 Redefining High Performance04:43 The Importance of Rest and Recalibration07:32 Embracing Humanity in High Performance10:34 The Energy First Approach14:40 Creating from a Place of FulfilmentHigh performance is not just about pushing harder; rest and recalibration are essential.Focusing solely on numbers can lead to obsession and overlook the bigger picture.Understanding your true needs and limits is key to sustainable success.Embracing your humanity helps create a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.Rest and self-care are acts of high performance, not signs of weakness.As ever thank you for your support!
