Tabby joined me again for a recap of the 2nd season of Death of a Workaholic, The Messy Middle.

Let it Go ft. Tonia Jahshan

I think most of us can say that at some point in time, we’ve felt some kind of weight on our shoulders that we aren’t sure how to get off. Tonia Jahshan struggled with anxiety and mental health for 10 years and just kept pushing on while growing her family and business… ignoring the side effects that workaholism had caused. Much of her anxiety was fueled by feeling responsible for other people's success, and that responsibility became her driving force until she couldn’t carry the load anym...

Be Still ft. Monica Park

We don’t admire chicken’s running around with their heads cut off, so why do we act like that sometimes? People we typically admire are strong, calm, and productive, like lions taking their careful time to make a move, or a tree absorbing energy to grow bigger and stronger. Monica Park struggled with saying yes and doing everything she could to be financially safe and sought after. Once she realized that it wasn’t fulfilling her, she hit the brakes and asked for help. It turns out once she...

Don't Fight the Feeling ft. Gianna Biscontini

If it doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t… Your body knows best. Have you ever thought about doing something but didn’t because you were afraid of what others would say?

Burnt Out ft. Nina Nesdoly

When you break your leg, you have no choice but to let it rest because of the cast you wear. But when you sustain a brain injury, it can be easy to keep going because you can’t see the injury. Nina Nesdoly had a life plan to follow and nothing was going to get in her way. Until she didn’t take a break and rest.

Me to We ft. Sue Ryan

If you’re winning an award, you’d think that you’d be over the moon excited. But for Sue Ryan, all she could think was “what’s next?” That was a pivoting moment for her.

It wasn’t until she took an in-depth journey of self exploration to come up with a practice of how to use her wisdom to help others, rather than what would personally satisfy her.

The Messy Middle ft. Jenny Lynne

“Here lies Jenny. She just had to send one more email.” Change is never clean and tidy – it's a swirling, gooey, messy adventure. I prided myself in my work ethic for my entire life and felt like that was the only option out there, but boy did I have a tough time when my kids’ dad was diagnosed with cancer. I was confused, lost, and just mentally exhausted. How was I going to take on both roles? How was I going to be mentally present with my kids while running a business? After I hiked th...

The Breakdown ft. Tabby Turnage

For the last episode of this season I thought it would be fun to recap with the one behind it all, my podcast producer, Tabby. She carefully listened to all 10 episodes and took in everything. Each one was unique with a different story to tell. After listening to them all, something happened, and then something else happened. She found herself seeing workaholic traits in herself in the beginning, but by the end she knew how to prevent it and manage those traits, just by hearing other...

When to Ask for Help ft. Jesse Johnson

We all need help at some point. Some of us ask for it, and some of us don’t. Those who don’t can be left crying in the shower…while keeping a poker face around everyone else. Jesse Johnson opened up to me about the challenges he faced as a young, single dad of 4. His cup was empty and finally asked for help. It was night and day the relief he felt from receiving help in all areas of his life. Key Takeaways Ask for help. Not asking doesn’t only hurt you – it hurts other people who ulti...

Stay Ahead of the Bear ft. John Arms

How do you get ahead of the bear? Is it completing a to-do list of 9 different things, to say “yes, I did it!” Or is it sitting outside with a book (or even without a book), and just doing anything that brings you joy? Either one can be the right answer! Having white space, or downtime can really create something beautiful so that you are able to 1) relax, and 2) narrow down your unnecessarily long to-do list.

We all love a good horn toot, right? Once you experience the feeling of being valued and being recognized, it’s so hard to let that feeling go. In 7th grade, Jennifer Fondrevay recalled her first flirtation with workaholism, and since then it’s been a roller coaster of a relationship. It is stressful when you are constantly trying to prove yourself to others, when they really don’t care. But once she let go of proving her worth to everyone else, she found her own personal value.

Do you struggle with saying no? For Ana, overcoming dyslexia at a young age, and conquering a Master's Degree in a foreign language was just the beginning. She remembers thinking of herself as the energizer bunny, to keep going and going to outlast everyone else. She said yes over and over again, until she couldn’t anymore.

The Workhorse ft. Penny Zenker

Can you go to sleep at night knowing that a project has been left undone? Or are you working at 2 in the morning trying to finish?
