Summary: In this episode, Alaina Schwartz joins the conversation to continue our discussion on this important topic. I’ve heard it since I was young. I imagine you have too. The only way to succeed is to work hard. Unfortunately, we often approach this in a way that risks our relationships, mental and emotional well-being, our health, and so much more. In this conversation, we dive deeper into this with Alaina. In this insightful conversation we explore: * The “work hard to succeed myth” Why it is important to pause * The power that comes from rewiring yourself * The stress response and how we become “addicted” to our stressful habits * How to get to ease and flow where things are coming easier * The keys to managing the inner game of stress and habits * The importance of paying attention to how you feel * How her morning power hour creates the foundation for her day * Pay it forward: Advice to leaders who want to make the shift and want to reduce stress * And more!
