Are You the Architect of Your Own Unwellness?

From “The Story I’m Telling Myself So Far” Podcast with Rita Ernst

Many high-achieving women are trapped in a cycle of "Human Doing" rather than "Human Being," believing their worth is strictly tied to their productivity. In this personal growth episode of our podcast, we sit down with Monique Helstrom, former Chief of Staff to the legendary Simon Sinek, to discuss the dangerous breaking point of perfectionism.

Monique shares the pivotal moment she found herself in an emergency room at age 36, facing a potential heart attack while still frantically checking work emails. This conversation is a deep dive into the Unreliable Narrator's internal shame story that tells us mistakes are fatal and vulnerability is weakness.

As a premier mindset podcast, you'll learn Monique's Roadmap for:

  • Transitioning from a "Human Doing" to a "Human Being."

  • Dismantling the "shame backpack" of perfectionism through radical accountability.

  • Using "Aversion Therapy" to kill shame by owning mistakes out loud.

  • Navigating Courageous Conversations to turn invisible expectations into respected boundaries.

It’s time to stop performing and start being. Grab your permission slip to find your joy again.
