So often, we measure success by achievements: money made, promotions earned, awards bestowed. Sonya and Emily know that mindset can drive a wedge between ourselves and our values, and keep us from living truly and honestly. 

Changing mindset is about shifting how we see the world. In this episode, Sonya & Emily dive into what it looks like to shift into a living mindset instead of an achievement mindset. 

They’ll show you how to feel when you’re stuck in the loop of achieving, and how to stop working for someday and start living for now.

Join us as we discuss: 

• 07:48 The illusion of an endpoint to achieving, beyond which we’ll find fulfillment.
• 10:15 How chasing achievement leaves us vulnerable to being exploited.
• 16:38 What to do when your circumstances make it challenging to take time for your own priorities.
• 21:25 How to recognize the differences between achievement mindset and living mindset.
