Ass-Kicking With Limitations, with Lisa Lewis Miller

When working with capable, high achieving folks on making a bold career transition, there's a common stalling out point that pops up. It's the tension between ambition — the desire to keep pushing, hustling, and growing — and rest. So many of us get to the top of our industry, organization, or game by constantly achieving... but it also leads to burnout, exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, and resentment. The thing we love (and get energy from) can also become the cause of our plateaus or roadblocks.

It can then feel like a chicken-or-the-egg trap: I don't have time for rest because I can't rest if I'm going to achieve my goals; but if I don't rest, I'm going to burnout or become less productive and slow down. When we help people create careers they love here at Career Clarity, we want it to be on their own terms in order to be sustainable and healthy. And those terms almost always need to include more time for rest and active recovery.

On this episode of the podcast, I talk about the different kinds of limitations or boundaries on your life, setting specific goals, and defining how to sustainably "thrive" instead of just survive. You can still keep kicking ass and achieving if you do it in a more strategic, creative, and boundaried way.
