Episode 77 - Why You Are So Much More Than What You Do with Jaime Mann
Oct 19, 2022
Have you ever paused to consider whether all those tiny (and not so tiny) tasks that you spend your entire day doing are actually what you WANT? Whether you feel pumped about your life or just forcing yourself to get it all done because that’s what you’re supposed to be doing?
According to this week’s podcast guest and certified coach with a background in Positive Psychology, Jaime Mann, we're all really good at shutting out our own potential and limiting ourselves to thinking inside the box whilst letting our true desires pass us by.
But by shifting our mindset, letting ourselves off the hook, and asking for help, we can go about making those choices that are right for us.
It’s not going to be easy. We need to stop thinking that we ARE our jobs, businesses, or roles and instead discover what really lights us up inside.
As a busy mum, female entrepreneur and business owner, partner, friend, and carer who has overcome burnout and rediscovered the power of clarity, focus and self-care, I loved this conversation and I know you will too.
Listen to this episode to discover:
- Why letting go of the idea that we’re superwomen and asking for help can be so difficult
- What to do when you’re drowning in your workload and feeling exhausted
- How to STOP saying yes to stuff you don’t want to do and START living the life you desire
- The magic 💫 that happens when you shift your mindset and get super clear on what you really want
- Why we shouldn’t be just enduring our lives and how to reclaim joy (even with just a few moments to spare per day)

- “‘If I'm going to be a “good mom”, I can do it all. I don't need help - I'm a great mom. This is my thing, right?’ And then you end up drowning in your own workload which is a lonely place to be.” - Jaime
- “I'm doing all the things I'm “supposed” to be doing. But I just don't feel all that pumped about my life. And what is actually isn't happening that I WANT to be happening. Some people really find it hard to even articulate that. So it takes a little bit of exploration and time to figure that out.”- Jaime
- “Sometimes it's just reframing what you “need” to be doing as a woman, as a human, as a mom, and reframing what you think about all of that. Then you realise, ‘Actually, no I don’t need to do that. It would actually make me feel a whole lot better if I stopped doing that.’” - Jaime
- “I know it's my own fear. Fear of failure, fear of judgment, you know, that sort of thing. That's very common and I don't think it's ever going to go away. But I'm okay with that. The more we can embrace it and say ‘It’s OK to be scared and it’s going to be OK’, the better our lives can become” - Jaime
