    Raised to Perform: The Long-Term Impact of Performance-Based Childhoods

    How early conditioning shapes adult ambition, burnout, and self-worth. Growing up under a never good enough parenting approach, pushed these women to over perform, yet as a consequence have an incredibly low self esteem, caused by an incredibly harsh self evaluation. The inner critic never stops until complete exhaustion.   @drschwank @unesurcent

    Millennial women in conversation as title?

    Today’s conversation with Tanya. A passionate barre and yoga instructor, devoted mom, and sourdough baker turned small business owner, deeply interested in health and fitness —all while balancing the many hats of modern womanhood. We’ve discussed the drivenness and hyperdrive of millennials. The feeling of never being, pushing hard enough, even if we alway give at least 150%, still second guessing ourselves. Tanya shared her transforming practice of teaching restore classes, and how people come over and over and return to this peaceful 45min of calm and peace. What a great inspiration to incorporate it into our daily busy lives.   @drschwank @unesurecent @sourdough_at9  @tanyaponya
