How Do You Do It All? Ask the Coach

"How do you do it all?"

This question came up during one of Tami's Ask Me Anything sessions during our annual alumni retreat, and it was so good that she decided to bring it to the podcast.

Before we get into the details, the short answer is Tami doesn't do it all! At first glance, it's easy to compare your life to what you see others doing. The problem with that is we tend to forget that we're only seeing their highlight reel. You never know everything that's going on behind the scenes at the deep level that you know your own life. On top of that, Tami's fibromyalgia has been in remission for years, and it took a lot of work to get there. It doesn't make sense to compare your everyday fibro life with that.

With that context in mind, in this episode, Tami shares how she chooses where to focus her energy and what to prioritize. She's discussing the importance of making choices to prioritize the things that move you forward, how I learned to be intentional about choosing what to do, what it means to say no to say yes, the challenges of choosing between two good options, how to add more joy into your life, recognizing that you need to choose one habit to build at a time, why it's worth it to prioritize improving your sleep quality, delegating tasks that are not in your zone of genius, offloading tasks in your personal life, how you can reduce your load with minimal resources, embracing imperfections in life, seeking support from others to reach your goals, the difference between talking to a coach versus a friend, finding the right professional help, and more.

As you continue to move forward into the life that you want to have, don't be afraid to take a step back. Sometimes, that's precisely what you need.
