Grounded Wildness

Let's face it. You've been surrounded by messages your entire life telling you to prove your worth through achievement, success, likability, and a million other forms of being "good." Over time, those messages become rules you follow, often without even knowing it. Those rules make you believe everything will fall apart if you slow down. They tell you it’s your job to be responsible for everything and take care of everyone. They make you feel guilty for saying no. They tell you to prove, please, and perfect your way through life. It's time to stop. It's time to break those rules – and start living in grounded wildness. Join speaker, award-winning author of 'An Overachiever's Guide to Breaking the Rules' and 'Grounded Wildness', and recovering perfectionist Heather Whelpley as she shares honest conversations that will empower you to stop performing your life and start LIVING it. If you're tired of burnout, hustle culture, and the weight of “should” and “supposed-to” and want more joy, impact, and freedom in your life, this podcast is for you.

    EP. 42 - How to Get Heard in Meetings

    How do you get heard in meetings? And how do you do that in a way that is both authentic AND effective? Because, let's be honest, a lot of advice given to women about how to get heard is based in bias and discrimination. It emphasizes all the ways you are "supposed to" show up vs. what is authentic to you. The same holds true for meetings and I know you are most likely in A LOT of meetings. They are a place to be heard and a place where it's easy to be overlooked, interrupted, and generally N...
