It doesn’t matter how tough you are, we could all use a confidence booster every now and again.

If someone is constantly tearing you down, imagine how that can affect you and your performance. If you keep getting it “wrong” then you might start to feel like you will never get it right.

What if that person tearing you down is you? What if you don't even realize it?

What if you're that voice in someone else's life?

For Tammy Barlette, a prior Air Force pilot turned mental performance coach, she made the discovery that speaking positivity and life can impact your capabilities in many ways.

Key Takeaways

• Embrace the belief others have in you. A big part of how you show up is what you believe about how you're showing up and how you see it.
• Recognize the signs and become self aware of when you're practicing negative self talk.
• Dig in to how you’re feeling to figure out where that negativity is coming from.

Key Moments

{8:57} “There is something to be said about just that little bit of encouragement at the right time.”

{13:27} “We might not be able to see our potential, but when someone else I trust says, ‘Hey, you should do that, you'd be great.’ I might not believe it inside my own head at first, but I trust them.”

{16:48} “We don't often see the picture correctly from inside of ourselves. So I recognize that and I look from the outside.”

If you’re wondering what you need right now and how to manage your time, take the space test and see for yourself.

Imagine a relationship that feels so good, that it totally consumes you and everything in your life.

For Corban, when he is loving the work he’s doing, full of creativity, and he just feels good, he doesn’t want it to end, ever. But he realizes that a relationship shouldn’t completely consume you.

Tune in to hear what Corban’s soundtrack to work is, and how he integrates that into his personal life.

Key Takeaways

• If you are not quite sure where your relationship with work is or where that line is, get into your body and learn to feel it.
• Don’t seek for work to give you meaning or purpose, seek the meaning in the work you’re doing.
• Outsource and trust good employees to take the load off of you. You don’t have to control every detail.

Key Moments

{10:00} “If I'm feeling really stressed or disconnected, or I'm feeling like I don't have as much of, of certain things in my life, work can be an antidote to that. Like it's a distraction, you know?”

{19:38} “I feel a devotion to the work. I also feel a devotion to just working because I just like it.”

{25:03} “Before I just I wouldn't eat for two days. I would just keep working from 6 in the morning until 10 o'clock the following night.”

If you’re wondering what you need right now and how to manage your time, take the space test and see for yourself.

Tabby joined me again for a recap of the 2nd season of Death of a Workaholic, The Messy Middle.

Each story has a uniqueness about it, but a common theme around when they realized that they were sinking in the mud.

These guests went through trials with family members and friends; ended careers; and had mental breakdowns when they realized that there had to be a better way. I mean who wants to live with a weight constantly dragging them down?

It all comes back to figuring out what is ultimately most important to you in this life, and creating a work life that works with it and around it.

Tune in to find out

• Season 2 top 3 episodes
• The most helpful nuggets from Season 2
• What’s next for Season 3 (hint: We plan on having some creative fun) 🙂

Key Moments

{5:35} “It all kind of goes hand in hand together, just prioritizing your time and what's most important.”

{15:01} “Season 3 is really about unpacking this idea that we all have reasons for working. We all have our relationship with work.”

{15:55} “Because if you can't define work for yourself and your relationship with work, it's very hard to recognize is that relationship actually working for you.”
