This is the realtime collection of my stories, reflections, and internal voices as I play with ideas, grow, and pursue a more meaningful life.

10: Downsides to Ambition and being Type A

Recording this in a stressful time after just gotten back from a ski trip with catch ups for work, powerlifting programming, friends, and other interests (like this podcast!). I talk about the downsides of ambition and having a type A personality: anxiety, self inflicted pressure, search for internal validation, and pain in not meeting internalized expectations. Thoughts are jumbled a bit in this one, but it is raw nonetheless.
