Description

My approach to goal setting and productivity have changed in a big way based on what you're about to hear.

Listener favorite Tara McMullin is back on Rebel Therapist Podcast, talking about a huge pivot she's made in her work life. She's also sharing her new book, What Works, A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting.

A bit more about her:

She's the host of What Works, a podcast about entrepreneurship for humans that's been downloaded over 4 million times. She's also the co-founder of YellowHouse.Media, a podcast production agency. Tara brings a unique perspective to business thinking informed by her background in theology, interests in endurance training and critical theory, and strengths as an autistic creator.

Also, Tara was my business coach/strategist for as long as she WAS a business coach/strategist.

Here's some of what we talked about:

• Making a big pivot by leaving her role as the leader of the large and thriving business community she'd built
• Why acknowledging our limits and depleted reserves is powerful
• Leaving behind big-G Goal setting on the path to becoming self-transforming subjects with agency
• Annie's sabbatical and how it set her up perfectly for this book and an overhaul of her goal-setting practices
• How the Positive Thinking movement (Capital P, Capital T) has been harming us and how to resist it
• How to recognize when you're in the Validation Spiral and move out of it
• What Tara's working on now and how she manages her capacity
• One thing you can do to increase your sense of agency starting today
