Self-Doubt, Insecurity, Lack of Confidence, Low Self-Esteem plague society. Whether it stems from family, so-called friends, teachers, religious leaders, influencers, social media, or even that one random person on the street that spoke horribly to us...we all have a backstory. The depth to which we participate in being the active victim of that backstory is going to be different for each of us.The one thing that is absolutely true for each of us though, no matter how horrible our background was, is that we can change our current circumstances. We can become the victor in our stories, rather than continuing to play the role of the victim. In this episode, I have on best-selling author Linda Bjork.

"Grinding it out." "Push through." "Dig deep." "Gotta hustle." "I'm so busy." Do any of these phrases sound familiar? They should. Most of the world is living in the mindset that in order to succeed you have to do one or more of the above. But do you? Is there a sacrifice you make when you are constantly in the act of pursuing "success" for the sake of acknowledgment, achievement, and accolades?In this episode of 'All in the Name of Growth' I'm talking with special guest Megan Miller, who is an Intentional Living Expert. We are talking all about the addiction to achievement, how you find yourself in the rut of always pushing for more, and how to get yourself out of it. This is such a great episode! 00:30 Welcome & Introduction01:45 Icebreakers to get to know Megan05:45 What one thing can help you get out of your head08:15 How to take off the "I'm fine" mask11:15 The dangers of being addicted to achievement16:40 Evaluating the stories we tell ourselves19:40 How to stop wearing the badge of "busy"23:10 Learn how to shut down your day better26:50 The easiest way to ruin your day29:10 How to intentionally create your life in three easy steps37:00 Why you want to aim for 1% better41:00 Episode wrap-upMore about Megan:Megan Miller is a professional speaker, creator & host of Attention to Intention podcast and on a mission to help high performing go-getting professionals detox off the drug of achievement.Over the past 15 years, Megan's laser focus on climbing the corporate ladder resulted in a successful career as a Sales Executive in the Hospitality industry, managing a portfolio of 150 hotels & $1B in revenue. Raised by a single mother in rural Pennsylvania, inflicted with a speech impediment and feeling like she had to fight for her seat at the table, Megan clawed her way to the corner office & when she landed there, she realized that she was empty, unfulfilled, and addicted to the drug of achievement. After realizing she was living in a lonely dark world focused on hustle & achievement, she made a choice to get brave and get still and start using the power of intention to live a more inspired life. This laid the foundation of helping high performing go getting professionals stop living to make it to Friday, sleepwalking through life in a robotic nature and start living with inspiration and fulfillment and connection to your most trusted advisor: yourself.

Understanding the value of engaging in the world with a mindset that allows you to grow, see the world of possibilities, and recognize your own ability to achieve big things is vital to a successful life.

We live in a society that says that in order to be happy we have to have money, possessions, and perfection. This idea leaves us scrambling to find the answers through social media, books, retreats, and events. The problem that we run into when we search for answers outside of ourselves is that we never actually find the answer. We continuously circle around an empty hole waiting for someone else to fill it up. When we give our power over to others it means we have no power left for ourselves. In this episode our special guest Karyn Seitz unpacks what it looked like for her to become what she thought was going to fill her up and provide her with answers, only to realize she was still empty on the inside. Learn how she overcame the perception of "the answers are out there" and discovered the reality that "the answers are within us". Tune in to learn:00:00 - Welcome01:00 - Icebreakers to get to know Karyn04:05 - Why Christy invited Karyn to be on the podcast05:15 - The things Karyn thought were going to bring her meaning and purpose and how they left her feeling empty.09:50 - Why you won't find answers outside of yourself and how to fix it16:50 - Why a lot of women feel like they are not enough and to fix it21:45 - How and why you need to stop saying yes when you want to say no24:10 - Tips on how to stop the inner decay28:20 - How to change your experience without changing your life32:30 - Is self-care actually selfish?More about Karyn:As a former spiritual healer, Karyn realized her clients were not getting better. She was frustrated that she could not deliver the results her clients wanted even though she was trying lots of different healing modalities and coaching techniques. Karyn knew she also wasn't getting the changes she wanted in her life. She secretly lacked any confidence in her ability to change. Her adult life had stalled.In a fresh new search for answers, Karyn found the missing piece that would ultimately transform her life and her clients. There is something very profound in owning that she is the problem in her life. This awareness pushed her to confront herself and get serious about herself and her life. Karyn is now fulfilled in her life and teaches others the same journey she has taken to find herself and be happy. Karyn calls herself The Happiness Mentor and teaches an online happiness course for women called Awakened Grace.Connect with Karyn:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/karynaseitzLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karyn-seitz-431446110/ResourcesA Happiness Course: https://ahappinesscourse.com/Free Guide on Embracing Change: https://www.christyfechser.com/guideNext Level Living Course: https://www.christyfechser.com/course Connect with ChristyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/christy.fechserTwitter: https://twitter.com/christyfechserLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christyfechser/https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristyFechserPlease leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-in-the-name-of-growth/id1619528944

We've all felt that moment --  where you know there is something more inside of you but you're struggling to follow your heart because everyone around you has an expectation of how you should be living your life.You know that if you follow their advice, it won't make you happy—but they don't understand that.They think they're looking out for your best interests, and they probably don't even realize how much pressure they're putting on you.I feel like a lot of people go through this at some point in their lives, but it can be challenging to find a way out when everyone around you seems to be telling you that the route you want to take isn't the right one.You want to follow your dreams and be who you were meant to be, but there are so many other people who want different things for you. It can feel like an impossible situation.But here's the thing… if we don't pursue our passions, then what do we have?Nothing.We have no hope for a better future than what we already have now. We just become another cog in the wheel of society—a part of someone else's dream instead of a dreamer ourselves.For today's episode of All In The Name Of Growth, we will be joined by Isabella Maxey, who has broken free from the box that others placed her in and is now pursuing her passion.She'll share her story with us, and we'll talk about how she was able to take that leap of faith.

Less than 10% of the population even sets goals! Sadder than that -- less than 8% of that 10% is actually achieving their goals. In today's episode we're going to talk about why your goal setting strategy is failing you and what you can do about it.Do you ever feel like you're not getting anywhere with your goals?I know it's frustrating, but don't worry—you're not alone! In fact, most people are in the exact same boat as you are. Most of us have dream goals we haven't achieved yet (if we've even taken the first step towards achieving them). And why is this? Because most people don't understand how goal-setting works. They go into it all guns blazing, with no long-term strategy or sound execution plan. That's why they fail. But I'm here today to tell you that failure doesn't have to be your destiny and that there's a perfect solution for you!And what better way to dive into that than by first discussing the reasons why most people fail at their goal-setting strategy? I mean, if we're going to dive into a solution, we need to know where we're starting from, right?And since I want you to succeed, we're also diving deep into the specific and actionable steps you can do to successfully achieve your goals in life. With these simple strategies and methods, you'll be able to set and achieve your goals like a pro.“Don't skip steps and don't give up midway up the ladder because you're going to just burn your whole dream to the ground and you won't ever be able to achieve the thing that you want.” ~ Christy FechserWhat Will You Learn From This Episode:1:53 - How many people actually set their goals and get to achieve them3:01 - The BIGGEST reason why people don't succeed at their goals6:31 - The reason why you have to have the willingness to learn what it's going to take to achieve your goal8:11 - The ladder of your dreams and the importance of taking the first step8:59 - The story of the man who came to California back in the Gold Rush Days10:26 - Setting yourself up for success12:45 - The fault in setting your goals just because it's a trendy thing to do14:05 - The importance of having a feeling behind your goals17:51 - A recap of the 6 reasons why your goal setting strategy is failingResources:FREE copy of Emotions Prompt Guide For Setting GoalsAll Podcast EpisodesConnect with Me:Send me a message FacebookTwitterLinkedIn

From the time we are little we are told by parents, teachers, bosses, and leaders to basically just "follow instructions". We are discouraged from questioning and encouraged to follow blindly what others tell us. In this episode I challenge that mentality and teach you how to be your own advocate - how to stand up for yourself and have your own back. Not only do I share about how to do that for yourself but how and why we also want to do that for others. Leave podcast comments, suggestions, and questions on my website here: www.christyfechser.com/podcastDownload my free guide on how to create lasting change on my website here: www.christyfechser.com/guide
