In this real play, Dr. Diana Hill is joined by workshop participant Jennie Nash live from a Blue Spirit Costa Rica retreat. Together, they navigate Jennie Nash’s feelings of being trapped by her own success amidst celebrating significant personal milestones and leading a successful business that trains and certifies book coaches. Through exploring wise effort, values, and the balance of effort in life and work, Jennie discovers the subtle nuances between meaningful engagement and burnout while unearthing the importance of self-commitment, authenticity, and valuing herself.

You will learn:

• The intricacies of feeling ‘trapped’ by one’s own success and how to explore these feelings through wise effort.
• How to identify and align with your core values, even amidst burnout, and use these values to guide your life and work.
• Strategies for balancing high-effort, value-aligned work with necessary self-care and personal development to prevent burnout.

Listen to this episode for a compelling narrative on finding equilibrium within success and reaffirming one’s values through self-reflection.
