Having the Guts to Face Your Fears — Coaching Call with Tripp Lanier

Are you feeling stuck about how to level up your life?

Does it feel like no matter what you achieve something’s missing?

And is it possible that your well-meaning goals are really driven by your darkness?

In today’s coaching call I talk with a highly ambitious achiever who’s focused on leveling up his life. The problem is, he doesn’t understand why his success isn’t as satisfying as he expected it to be. Instead of helping him pursue a life on “easy street”, we visit the place he’s been fighting like hell to avoid.

In this interview:

  • “How do I get to that next level?”
  • Would it be okay to feel this way 5 years from now?
  • What is the curse of the high achiever?
  • Is peace of mind a goal you can “crush”?
  • Why achievers are often exhausted

Plus:

  • What does it mean to ‘let the tiger eat you’?
  • Feeling like you’re always on the run
  • Using ideas, books, and podcasts to avoid your feelings
  • Understanding our real power
  • When “fixing” the problem is really just running away from it
