Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android Devices | RSS
Today on the podcast, we’re exploring the feelings and questions that come up when we consider setting goals outside of work.
We kick things off with a story from Eric about introducing his children to the joys of scratch and sniff stickers – a reminder that our personal lives are also important.
Our discussion centers around the guilt we might feel for prioritizing personal goals because common wisdom has taught us to invest in our careers over everything else.
We share tools and resources to help unpack what we believe about work and "everything else”.
If you’re working on setting goals outside of work, we’d love to hear from you!
