76: How to Push Through Overwhelm & Take Big Action
The AMPLIFY Show
Welcome back to another episode of The AMPLIFY Show. Today I’m talking about a strategy that I've used consistently in my life and my business whenever I wanted to push through inaction, overwhelm, or decision fatigue, to make big things happen. It’s the concept of positive, manufactured pressure. I recently manufactured pressure simply by spending 30 minutes making a video pitch for a business competition. If I’m selected, this will force me to move forward on a business idea I’ve been working on, to take action that I would otherwise put off or simply never...
info_outlineI’ve been sharing some of our most downloaded episodes of all time here on The AMPLIFY Show, and this week is my interview with author Kim John Payne.
He’s well known for his best-selling book Simplicity Parenting, which is my favorite parenting book and one I’ve reread multiple times. He has worked with children and families around the world as a counselor and educator. As an author, he’s given a voice to people like you and me. People who have this feeling that something is not okay about this new normal of overwhelm, doing more, being more… and this fast-paced life with too much stuff, too many choices, and too little time.
In this interview, we talk about strategies like de-escalating with humor, re-entering family life after you’ve had a long day of work, and things like a child-centered home vs. a value-centered home.
I hope to talk with him again hopefully in my upcoming season in the new year… so excited to tell you more about that soon.
Mentioned in the episode:
- Kim’s book, Simplicity Parenting
- Kim’s book, Being at Your Best When Your Kids Are at Their Worst
