Better Under Pressure

How many conversations are out there everyday? Lots! They fill space…not like this one! The podcaster is fluid and patient and intentional in allowing the conversation to develop. She adds the perfect pinch of provocation to this recipe and then the guest drops the gems of insight. How do you define yourself, maybe even refine yourself (?) in three simple words. That’s power in standing up for who you are.

Sarah and Matt delve into the essence of performing at our best when it matters most by tying into what we stand for. Matt’s insights that when we focus on who we want to be and what we stand for perfection doesn’t matter because what we stand for is bigger than any given movement in our lives. Sarah’s curiosity in what’s possible in what underlies the moments which we strive for because they matter to our very essence and her willingness to play around this is so joyful that it carries you along in being curious within yourself. The truths in this episode ring true for every moment in my life we’re I had to perform under pressure. Absolutely required for anyone who wants to be in alignment with themselves and carry the conviction of who they are into the world.

Pressure has no shape but has immense weight. It’s the weight that we create on our own plus the pressure knowingly and unknowingly accept from others. In some cases it serves, and others it doesn’t. I love that Sara is engaging in this exploration of pressure and how it impacts us.

Of course we all want to excel when it counts, when the pressure is on. Sara’s podcast is not just fun to listen to but has some great tools to use immediately. I’m going to summon my group of supporters in my head next time I head into a pressure filled event. Thank you, Sara!
