    Why Getting Uncomfortable Might Be Exactly What You Need

    What happens when the person behind the podcast steps in front of the camera? With Drew out this week, Get Over It producer Venus joins Heidi for a conversation that goes pretty much everywhere… but somehow keeps coming back to the same question: What happens when life forces you to get uncomfortable? It starts with Venus admitting that after years of inviting successful people to speak on panels, she found herself asking the exact question that drives her crazy when she hears it from other women: Are you sure I should be up there? From there, Venus and Heidi get into self-doubt, feeling like you have to be overprepared before you deserve a seat at the table, and the expectations we put on ourselves as women, professionals, and leaders. They also get personal about getting older, taking care of yourself differently as your body changes, setting boundaries, navigating grief, and learning that protecting yourself isn’t always the same thing as avoiding something. Heidi opens up about rebuilding her life and career after the end of an 18-year relationship, including intentionally doing things that made her uncomfortable as she figured out who she wanted to become next. Now, finding herself in another rut, she realizes it might be time to do it all over again. In This Episode, Heidi & Venus Discuss: Why successful women still question whether they deserve a seat at the tableThe pressure to be overprepared before putting yourself out thereFear of criticism and looking like you don’t know what you’re doingGetting older and realizing you definitely do not have everything figured outPaying more attention to your health as your body changesSetting boundaries when you’re used to taking care of everyone elseThe difference between avoiding something and protecting yourselfNavigating grief and finding ways to keep moving forwardTurning difficult experiences into empathy for someone elseLooking for the lesson when things don’t go your wayStarting over personally and professionallyWhy Heidi intentionally made herself uncomfortable when rebuilding her careerRecognizing when you’re in a rut and need to shake things upGrowth doesn’t always look like having the answers. Sometimes it looks like admitting you’re uncomfortable, doing the thing anyway, and figuring out who you are on the other side. 🎙️ Listen to the new episode of Get Over It wherever you get your podcasts.

    The “Never Enough” Mindset: How to Recognize Your Wins

    When was the last time you stopped and asked yourself what you’re actually proud of? Not what you accomplished. Not what you checked off the list. Not what you could have done better. What are you genuinely proud of? In this episode of Get Over It, Heidi shares what happened when a rough weekend sent her into full self-examination mode and led her to create a simple exercise built around three questions: What are you proud of? What are you excited about? And what brings you joy? Of course, she made Drew do it too. What starts as a simple exercise turns into a much bigger conversation about success, ambition, comparison, and the pressure to always be doing more. Drew and Heidi unpack why it can be so difficult to acknowledge our own wins without immediately adding a “but,” especially when life or business doesn’t look the way we thought it would. They also explore what happens when the things that once motivated you no longer do. When accomplishments, money, accolades, and being the best start to matter less, how do you redefine success? And what if the things bringing you the most joy are actually the quiet, ordinary parts of your life? In This Episode, Drew & Heidi Discuss: Why saying “I’m proud of myself” can feel so uncomfortableThe difference between an accomplishment and something you’re genuinely proud ofWhy we immediately minimize our own winsComparing where you are today to a past version of yourselfThe pressure to constantly do more and achieve moreWhat happens when your definition of success starts to changeWhy accomplishments and joy don’t always come from the same placesFinding motivation when competition and achievement no longer drive youUsing your past as evidence of what you’re capable ofLearning to recognize when you’ve done enoughThe simple three-part exercise Drew and Heidi use to reflect on where they’ve been and where they’re goingMaybe the goal isn’t to keep moving the finish line every time you reach it. Maybe sometimes you need to stop long enough to realize there’s already a lot to be proud of. 🎙️ Listen to Get Over It wherever you get your podcasts, and try the exercise along with Drew and Heidi: What are you proud of? What are you excited about? And what brings you joy?

    Should Your Team Feel Like Family? The Truth About Workplace Culture

    What happens when someone you’ve worked with for years decides it’s time to leave? When a longtime member of Drew’s team decides to go out on his own, it brings up a bigger question: Should your team really feel like family? In this episode of Get Over It, Drew and Heidi talk about the complicated relationship between leadership, loyalty, and letting people grow. They get into why an employee leaving can feel so personal, how leaders can become overly responsible for the people they work with, and why someone choosing a new path doesn’t necessarily mean something went wrong. Heidi shares her own experiences with longtime team members moving on and what she’s learned from working alongside her daughter, while Drew wrestles with the realization that sometimes a great leader’s job isn’t to keep people, it’s to help them grow, even if that growth eventually takes them somewhere else. They also dig into workplace boundaries, different communication styles, showing appreciation in ways people actually value, the danger of creating “golden handcuffs,” and why putting relationships first doesn’t mean avoiding the hard conversations. In This Episode, Drew & Heidi Discuss: Should your team really feel like family?Why an employee leaving can feel like a personal betrayalHow leaders can separate someone else’s decision from their own self-worthLeading people without taking responsibility for every part of their successWorking with actual family in a family businessUnderstanding how different team members communicate and process conflictWhy great employees sometimes outgrow their rolesThe difference between helping people stay and making them feel trappedCreating healthy boundaries between relationships and businessWhy strong workplace relationships still require honesty and accountabilityLearning to let people grow, even when that means letting them goBecause maybe the goal of great leadership isn’t to build a team that never leaves. Maybe it’s to build people who are capable of choosing what comes next. 🎙️ Listen to Get Over It wherever you get your podcasts, and send this episode to a leader, business owner, or teammate who needs to hear this conversation.

    Perfectionism, Procrastination & the Fear of Starting

    Are you actually preparing… or are you just avoiding the thing that scares you? In this episode of Get Over It, Drew admits something he almost didn’t want to say out loud: he almost didn’t show up to record. At first, he thought the problem was a lack of structure. He needed a better plan, a clearer direction, more time to prepare. Then he realized what was really going on, he was scared. That confession opens up a candid conversation with Heidi about fear, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the ways high performers can disguise avoidance as productivity. They unpack why planning can be both a strength and a trap, what happens when you don't feel qualified to be in the room, and why taking action is often the only way to break the loop. They also explore the importance of having people in your life who are willing to call you out, the difference between commitments we make to others and the ones we make to ourselves, and why admitting you're afraid might be exactly what helps you move forward. If you've ever told yourself you need to learn a little more, plan a little longer, or get everything perfectly in place before you start, this episode might make you ask: Are you getting ready… or just getting ready to get ready? How fear can disguise itself as planning and preparationWhy high performers struggle to admit when they're scaredImposter syndrome and questioning whether you belong in the roomWhen planning goes from a strength to a form of procrastinationWhy perfection can keep you from taking actionThe power of having people who are willing to call you outUsing education and experience to build confidenceWhy accountability to others can feel stronger than accountability to yourselfRecognizing the stories you tell yourself when you're avoiding somethingHow awareness + action can help break the cycleSometimes you don't need another plan. Sometimes you just need to admit you're scared, and do it anyway. 🎙️ Listen to Get Over It wherever you get your podcasts, and share this episode with someone who's been getting ready to get ready.

    The Hustle. Are You Ambitious or Just Afraid?

    Are you driven by ambition... or by fear? In this episode of Get Over It, Drew and Heidi dive into one of the biggest questions facing high achievers: When does healthy ambition become hustle fueled by fear? From chasing career goals and financial success to navigating relationships, self-worth, and even social media, they explore the hidden pressure of feeling like you're never doing enough—or that you are never enough. Together, they unpack the difference between measurable growth and the internal stories we tell ourselves, why so many of us tie our worth to productivity, and how learning to define "enough" for ourselves can lead to greater peace, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life. If you've ever struggled to slow down, felt guilty for resting, or wondered why success never seems to feel like enough, this conversation is for you. In This Episode, Drew & Heidi Discuss: The difference between healthy ambition and fear-driven hustleWhy high performers often believe they're never doing enoughThe connection between productivity, self-worth, and shameHow childhood experiences shape our relationship with successWhy rest can feel uncomfortable—even when we desperately need itThe hidden cost of chasing "more" in work, money, and relationshipsDefining what "enough" looks like in different areas of lifeHow clarity can replace the constant pressure to achievePractical questions to help you recognize when you're hustling from fear instead of purpose Key Takeaways "Enough isn't a number—it's a decision.""Healthy ambition moves you forward. Fear convinces you you'll never arrive.""Rest isn't something you earn. It's what allows you to keep growing.""The standard you live by should be yours—not someone else's."

    AI

    In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about AI — the good, the bad, and the strange reality of how quickly people are starting to rely on it for everything. They get into the growing belief that access to information automatically creates expertise, and how AI can sometimes create a false sense of confidence without real understanding or experience behind it. From business decisions to personal relationships, they unpack what happens when people stop thinking critically and start outsourcing too much of their judgment. The conversation also explores authenticity, communication, and the tension between using AI as a tool versus letting it replace real human connection. They share their own experiences using it, where it’s helpful, where it falls short, and why intention still matters more than technology. At the end of the day, AI can help organize information — but it can’t replace experience, discernment, or the heart behind the message.

    Burnout

    In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about burnout — what it actually feels like, how it sneaks up on you, and the stories we start telling ourselves when we’ve been pouring into everyone else for too long. They get into the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly showing up for people, the pressure of always being “on,” and what happens when you start feeling unappreciated or disconnected from the very things that once gave you energy. The conversation also explores the difference between needing rest versus trying to emotionally detach, and how pulling away from relationships, people, or purpose can sometimes make burnout even worse. From business to personal relationships, Drew and Heidi unpack what burnout has looked like in their own lives, how they’ve navigated it, and what it takes to reconnect with yourself when you’ve hit a wall. At the end of the day, burnout isn’t always about doing too much — sometimes it’s about losing connection to the things that once made you feel alive.
