What Works for Great Work With Tara McMullin | UYGW053

Join Tara McMullin and Dr. Amanda Crowell as we discuss:

• How our culture creates a need for more, more, more
• How to help our children avoid the burnout and overworking programming from the start
• How to use technological tools as tools, instead of as further indications that we aren’t doing things right

Have you ever felt like you needed more? More money, more prestige, more status, and more accomplishment? In this week’s podcast episode Tara McMullin, the author of What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting, helps us peek behind the curtain. Listen in as she unpacks the programming creating this lack of satisfaction and gives us important clues about how to de-program ourselves. Tara will help us focus on being in process with ourselves instead of seeking ever more, ever more.
