Beyond Your Limits with Dr. Christine Jehu

Coming in HOT this year with an action packed HOT TAKES episode all about goal setting for the new year in a way that actually supports your goals.
In case you didn't get it before, here's the guide to evaluating your year with purpose that we talked about in December's hot takes episode (#47): Evaluate your year with purpose:
Show notes:

• Future casting - Opportunity to be thoughtful & intentional with what you want to do in 2022
• Where do you want to be Dec 31, 2022?
• Who is that person you want to be 365 days later - being as specific as possible
• Future casting gives you a tangible anchor to work towards. Build a plan going backwards from there to be sure you can actually make this happen.
• Macro goals: Something to check off list this time next year - the “bigger” / long term goal
• Micro goals: What you can do weekly and monthly to get yourself to the macro goal - the “smaller” / short term goal
• Use S.M.A.R.T. as a guide for setting our goals: specific, measurable (& meaningful), action, realistic, timebound
• Meaningful: is this goal meaningful to YOU or to someone else is placing the goal on you
• Make them S.M.A.R.T. for YOU. They help focus you and give you direction.
• Your goals are not set in stone. Remain flexible & adjust as needed. Have an intentional check in with yourself month by month.
• Have a monthly goal & have weekly goals under that.
• Some goals are bound by the season. Not realistic to be working on all our goals every month/week/day.
• Have your goals rooted in your values. What are your values & what are some key areas in your life? What is one goal you can set in each of the areas? Or pick 2 areas and start there! Be intentional & stepwise.
• It’s not an all or nothing & it’s not an all at once shebang.
• Challenges & barriers - explore these and plan for them.
• Accountability - Find those accountability buddies. We will be your accountability buddies!! Jump into the DM with your goals (@therealdrjehu)

Andrea Parker (she/her) is a Human Potential Coach who brings the FIRE on today’s episode! She spent 10 years as a police detective and made the decision to shift into human potential coaching. She had an inner knowing that started during police college that this wasn’t what she wanted to do. She built a thriving life during her time in policing, until the “baseball bat from the universe” hit her & she knew it was time to make a change. Today, she helps fun driven inspiring people to truly reveal themselves to themselves, break through their blocks, and to play the game that they love playing at a high level.

Heads up: we reference sexual assault in this episode.

“Athletes are people first and absolutely aren’t immune to mental health concerns.”
“Get your mental oil changed.”

We’re talking about:

• Mental health is health
• Athletes are humans FIRST & are not immune to mental health concerns
• Mental toughness & mental poise
• Impact of the pandemic on athletes
• The sacrifices of an athlete
• Muscular Christianity
• Props to Water Polo (we want to know how you launch yourself out of the water!)

What we hope comes from the conversation that is happening around mental health and athletes:

• More holistic view of health that includes mental health
• Everyone can benefit from therapy!
• Open the dialogue about help seeking
• Pair the education of mental poise with mental toughness in sport, especially for coaches and parents

• The Weight of Gold (on HBO)

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Meghan Hurley-Powell, our favorite journaling ninja. In this conversation, we challenge societal norms of success, redefine greatness on our own terms, and explore how a slow and intentional approach towards our goals can lead to personal growth and meaningful work.
We talk about...
- The consequences of fast action
- Coming full circle on calling your shot
- Facing burnout and making values aligned pivots
- The power of therapy
& so much more!
The challenge we leave you with in this episode is to slow down, take breaks, and reconnect with yourself. After all, greatness isn't about speed, it's about the journey and the power of small, consistent steps towards our goals.

I want to see you be BRAVE... especially when you feel you're falling short.
Raw personal lessons from the last 6 months.
1. No better time than the present to build relationships & be vulnerable.
2. The only ceiling needed is the roof over your head.
3. The space just before the tears holds so much truth.
4. Being in the moment is so beyond beautiful.
5. You have to be the greatest advocate for your life.
6. Manifesting is some real shit.
