Learning and Living Outside the Box with Tiana Kubik
05/26/21 • 41 min
Learning and living outside the box makes the ability to think outside the box SO much more natural. Yet, while thinking outside the box is considered an asset in entrepreneurship and business, it’s isn’t very supported when it comes to education or how we do life. Our society gets so caught up in measuring sticks like standardized test scores and house sizes to determine whether someone is “doing well” in school and life. How often do you stop to think “How well is this really working for me?” Do you ever allow space to find another way that might work better? It’s not easy to do something different. It’s especially hard if you’re already overstressed. But it’s not as hard as you think and you don’t have to do it alone. Plus, perhaps it’s exactly what’s needed for you, your kid, and the world to be better.
In this episode of the Unlimited Podcast I invited Tiana Kubik to join me in a conversation around living and parenting by your own rules.
Some of what we cover in this episode include:
- Finding what works for you and your family
- The problem with toleration
- “Why?” and the power of curiosity
- Challenges stepping outside the box
- Understanding unschooling & the value in deschooling

Learn How to Apologize
Learn how to apologize meaningfully, if you truly want to be in integrity. Otherwise, you will likely end up repeating the harm that led to the need for an apology in the first place. We’ve seen this recently with a number of highly visible people. This isn’t surprising since, like so most aspects of relating to others in a healthy way, apologies aren’t something we’re taught how to do. However, I do find the blundering of the apology particularly ironic with those in the self-help space because the root of a meaningful apology is in personal growth. We all make mistakes. You don’t know what you don’t know, so mistakes are necessary for us to learn to do better. And that is the key... learning to do better. A true apology sets the foundation for being more of the person we say we want to be.
In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring the mindset and action when you learn how to apologize in a meaningful way.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:
- When not to apologize
- Saying “it’s okay”, when it’s not okay
- Self-serving apologies vs healing apologies
- Humility vs Humiliation
- Creating space for learning and personal growth
- Setting healthy boundaries

Dealing with Burnout Beyond the 9 to 5
The experience of burnout exists beyond the 9 to 5, though we mostly hear it talked about in relation to being an employee for a company. In most studies, the number one factor identified as the cause of burnout is a boss. Many entrepreneurs leave the corporate burnout culture in order to have the freedom and fulfillment of being their own boss. However, the patterns of burnout aren’t unique to corporate, they are embedded in American culture and without deprogramming those patterns, we become that boss for ourselves. Hustle culture in entrepreneurship is just another form of burnout culture in corporate. Not to mention, wherever you go, there you are... so these patterns show up in other areas too... like parenting. I believe you deserve better. You deserve to love your job and to have an amazing boss.
In this episode of Unlimited, I’m exploring how to prevent burnout and be the best boss of your own life.
Some of what I’ll cover in this episode include:
- When “lazy” isn’t the issue
- The point of worrying
- What is burnout and causes of it
- Setting clear and reasonable expectations for yourself
- The drain of feeling out of control
- How to shift burnout dynamics
