Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

Yeah, I agree.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

So first, I also want to tie it back to what we just talked about, because I think a lot of people are afraid to even admit that that's what they want.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

So that's step one, right?

So someone's like, they're afraid to admit, well, I want to have a million dollar company because they think it's selfish, greedy, whatever, you know, so they put all these

constraints on themselves right and so they're afraid to even admit what they really want which also gets in the way of them knowing what they want right because they feel guilt or shame around it so that's a whole nother topic we could dive into but I definitely have felt that because when you start to think about the power and I mean that from a impactful way not a manipulative way that one can have when they actually are at their best and can achieve anything they want

we are really powerful human beings and we can do a lot and be really impactful.

And so I think that can be overwhelming for our nervous system and for us to kind of put our heads around.

And so we self-sabotage, which is a very well studied topic and whatnot.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

And so I've caught myself getting in that over the years as well.

And I think even with the podcast, I had to be really careful with the name change.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

Like, okay, is this another form of doing that?

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

Because it was starting to

get some good traction, get some YouTube traffic and Spotify traffic.

And then I really just settled in and did some meditation and prayer on it and realized, no, this is the direction I want to move in.

It feels more aligned with where I want to be.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

So I think it's really, in my practice, I think it's really hard because a lot of

people, first of all, they don't necessarily know what they want outside of what they're told they want.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Branding The Lie: Escaping The High-Achiever's Trap | Kendra Dahlstrom

Well, no, I want this job.

And then they're afraid to admit it.
