On realizing that 'good' is actually more than enough, and the joy of letting go of the exhausting pressure we place on ourselves.  (0:00) – Heather Campbell's Journey and Achievements (2:17) – Sharon Salzberg's Praise and Heather's Book (7:22) – Ready, Set, Recover: Heather's Initiative (12:22) – Heather's Personal Journey and Overachievement (21:53) – Parenting and Balancing Life (27:54) – Naming Inner Critics and Coping Strategies (44:13) – Heather's Book and Its Impact (45:43) – Final Thoughts and Encouragement Heather Campbell is a writer, motivational speaker, and CEO dedicated to making people feel seen, heard, and celebrated. As co-founder of Ready Set Recover, and former senior executive at ESPN and Audacy, she intimately understands the toll of overachievement—and the liberation that comes from letting go. Campbell holds an MBA from NYU, a BA from the University of Wisconsin, and after nearly 30 years in NYC now lives in the Berkshires with her husband, children and their dog, Tobin. Heather A. Campbell's New Book, Good Is Amazing, challenges the Culture of Overachievement and Champions the Power of Good. What if striving to be “the best” is what's actually holding us back? In a world obsessed with unicorns, GOATs, and relentless self-improvement, Heather A. Campbell delivers a refreshing—and bold—reframe: good is not just enough. Good is amazing. The relatable, hilarious, and heartfelt moments from her life—like when her mom begged her to become President of the United States, or when an ESPN executive casually told her to “just make the book a New York Times bestseller,” anchor a deeper message: the constant pressure to aim higher, do the most, and be the best is exhausting—and it's not working. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Campbell invites readers to consider a radical idea: What if stopping the chase for perfection and instead embracing good—the joy, simplicity, and genuine satisfaction it brings—is the real secret to success? Each chapter blends real talk, personal insight, and simple, actionable steps to help readers slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what really matters. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers, entrepreneurs—anyone burdened by the relentless pursuit of perfection—will find powerful inspiration here. Good Is Amazing is available now online at Amazon . To learn more about Heather or inquire about speaking engagements, visit heatheracampbell.com

There are three words that can liberate you from the tyranny of the urgent. Three words that can help you regain control of your life. Three words that will reduce your stress and increase your joy. Join Chip to find out what those three words are.Three reasons why most of us live with two sets of priorities:We are DECEIVED. We honestly don't see the discrepancy between what we think and say, and how we actually live.We are AFRAID. Though we long to put "first things first," we simply do not believe that God will supply our needs if we give Him the first portion of our time, our lives, and our money.We have FAILED repeatedly. Our sincere and honest efforts to put "first things first" in the past lasted only a short time and ended with frustration and disillusionment with ourselves.So, what's the “Missing Ingredient” to living out our priorities?It's a RARELY USED word.It's a FRUIT of the Spirit.It comes to us by GRACE.We ADMIRE it in others.It's ESSENTIAL for putting "first things first."The Word = DISCIPLINE / SELF CONTROLDefinition: Discipline is doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done.The Dynamics of Biblical Discipline Can Be Summed Up in 2 Words:DELAYED GRATIFICATION - Hebrews 12:11The Method of Developing Biblical Discipline Can Be Summed Up in 3 Words:ADVANCED DECISION-MAKING - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27How Does It Work?Advanced Decision Making begins with CLEAR–CUT OBJECTIVES.Advanced Decision Making is reinforced by REWARDING ALONG the WAY.Advanced Decision Making becomes a personal conviction when you PONDER the CONSEQUENCES.Broadcast Resource'Balancing Life's Demands' ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsSmall Group ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Pivot Family! We are out here in Salt Lake City checking out a whole new world for us as we are on site for the 2025 X Games! As the X Games get underway, The Pivot Podcast sits down with two of the most explosive names in action sports — Ryan Williams, the BMX innovator pushing the limits of what's possible, and Dashawn Jordan, the street skater known for his power, precision, and style. Two completely different approaches to each's sport, but unified by the same goal- compete to win. Ryan, Channing and Fred get introduced to the extreme side of action sports, the high risk-high reward mentality and the laser focus needed to lock in on the one opportunity that measures success or failure. We talk mindset, motivation, and mayhem — from landing never-been-done tricks to staying locked in under pressure. Ryan and Dashawn open up about their journeys, what it takes to stay at the top, and what fans can expect at this year's X Games. Whether it's the mega ramp or the street course, these athletes are ready to redefine progression. Don't miss this raw and real conversation with two athletes redefining their sports and giving us a glimpse of what it takes to compete at the highest level. Comment and let us know what you think!
