THRIVE PODCAST

For my fellow recovering workaholics in the house - today’s episode will feel like a deep cleansing breath of fresh air and a hug. Author, speaker, coach and TED talker Renee Dineen was a “doing addict” who left her 7-figure executive leadership role in Biotech to pursue a more meaningful life of “less,” to find and do work that mattered most to her without sacrificing all of the other parts of a healthy, happy, and whole life. Today on THRIVE, she pulls back the curtain on what that “doing” burnout can look like, and sheds light on which of the 5 types of doers you might be. She gives warning signs to look for to know if you’re treading dangerously close to DOING too much, practical ways to go about re-scheduling your day while recovering from a “doing” addiction, and beautifully breaks down the way to bring “being” and “doing” into authentic harmony for yourself.   CONNECT WITH RENEE Instagram Website The Art & Truth of Transformation for Women   SHOP THE THRIVING COLLECTION HERE   FOLLOW ALONG: THRIVE Podcast Instagram Instagram Facebook Coming Up Roses Learn more about your ad choices.
