Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. We spend our whole lives trying to outthink emotions. We outwork them. Outrun them. Numb them with busyness and “productivity.” But the truth is, it’s not your calendar, your system, or your discipline that’s holding you back. It’s the one thing you refuse to feel. Fear. Embarrassment. Shame. Whatever it is, you’ve built your whole life around not feeling it. And that’s what’s keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’ll walk you into the part nobody talks about, where every goal you want lives on the other side of a feeling you’ve been avoiding. I’ll teach you how to sit with it, how to let it move, and how to discover that it was never as scary as you thought. Because once you can feel anything, You can create everything. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why emotions, not effort, are what keep high achievers stuck ↠ The wild truth that your “worst case scenario” is just a physical sensation ↠ The $30K Charley Horse experiment that rewires your brain’s fear loop ↠ My Home Run Derby story that proves sadness only lasts 90 seconds ↠ How to stop intellectualizing and start actually feeling ↠ The difference between being in emotions and being with them ↠ Why your emotions aren’t facts, but they’re sacred data PS.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Do you feel like you have to force yourself through every day, grind, hustle, and motivate yourself with fear? You’re not alone. High achievers are experts at self-pressure.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You don’t need another productivity app or “grind harder” hack. What do you really need? A regulated nervous system. When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, everything feels harder. You’re stressed, anxious, scattered, and you can’t access your best thinking. But when your system is calm, you show up sharper, more creative, and more present. In this episode, I’ll show you how to shift your body out of survival mode and back into calm, in minutes. These tools aren’t just for performance in sales calls or big meetings… they’re for parenting, relationships, and everyday life. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why nervous system regulation is the real key to results (and joy) ↠ The “car analogy” that proves achievement won’t fix your inner state ↠ Fight-or-flight vs rest-and-digest, what’s happening in your body ↠ The fastest reset: breathing techniques used by Navy SEALS ↠ The “deer trick” to shake stress out of your body ↠ Grounding practices, movement, and mindfulness that actually work ↠ My favorite self-compassion and mantra practices for calm confidence PS.

Everyone’s Saying Adult Friendships Are Hard: Do This
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. I’m weirdly passionate about adult friendships, mostly because no one teaches us how to do them. As kids, friendships just happen. You sit next to someone in class, or play on the same team, and boom! BEST FRIENDS. But as adults? It feels awkward. You want deeper friendships, but how do you even start? You can’t exactly walk up to someone at the park and say, “Hey, want to be my best friend?” Here’s the good news: friendships aren’t magic. They’re built. And there’s actual research, practical strategies, and even some scripts that make it so much easier. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why adult friendships feel harder than childhood friendships ↠ The research: how many hours it really takes to move from acquaintance → friend → best friend ↠ Why you don’t need one “perfect best friend” (and how to build a friendship portfolio instead) ↠ How to practice showing up, even when messy and awkward ↠ Catchphrases and conversation starters that actually work ↠ How to move past surface-level small talk and into a deep, lasting connection ↠ Why vulnerability is the key to being fully seen in your friendships ↠ The quirky mindset shift that helps me revive friendships, even after 10 years apart PS.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Most of us think that being hard on ourselves is what drives results. Hustle. Grind. Fear. The inner critic. We’ve trained ourselves to believe that’s what works. But here’s the truth: it works until it burns you out. If you actually want higher performance, faster recovery, and long-term success, the secret isn’t pushing harder. It’s practicing self-compassion. Not fluffy, feel-good stuff. The science shows it increases resilience, motivation, and performance. In this episode, I share the research, my own resistance to self-compassion, and the exact techniques I used (yes, even asking ChatGPT for help) that changed everything. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why “hustle harder” is a short-term strategy that leads to burnout ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation ↠ My own resistance (and how I literally had to learn this from scratch) ↠ Why self-compassion feels so foreign if it wasn’t modeled for you ↠ How I practiced it with ChatGPT as my “coach” and what changed ↠ The Disneyland story: how compassion fueled productivity ↠ Techniques for meeting your younger selves with compassion ↠ Practical tactics: normalize feelings, meet yourself where you are, and break down tasks PS.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. We’ve all been told, “Success is on the other side of consistency.” Books like The Compound Effect make it sound like the only way forward is to stick to a habit perfectly, forever. But what if that’s not true for you? What if consistency is nearly impossible, and beating yourself up about it is doing more damage than good? In this episode, I share what I’ve learned (with ADHD and from hundreds of high-achieving clients) about why traditional consistency advice doesn’t always work and the surprising reframe that can actually make you more consistent by trying less hard to be consistent. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why “be consistent” advice leaves so many of us stuck in shame ↠ How ADHD brains (and high achievers) are wired for uneven energy ↠ Why forcing consistency often backfires and fuels burnout ↠ The fast recovery strategy that actually builds momentum ↠ How to set realistic expectations by checking your daily energy ↠ Why lowering the bar can leave you feeling more accomplished ↠ The mantra that keeps me grounded: “I won’t miss two.” PS.

How To Take Feedback Without Taking It Personally
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they work and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Do you secretly dread hearing the words “I have some feedback for you”? Same. I know feedback is supposed to make us better but for so many of us, especially high achievers with ADHD or imposter feelings, feedback feels like a gut punch. Instead of fueling growth, it can send us into shame spirals, rejection sensitivity, or black-and-white thinking that leaves us doubting ourselves. In this episode, I share my own journey with feedback, the books, the frameworks, and the mindset shifts that finally freed me from feeling crushed every time someone pointed out an area to improve. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between appreciation, coaching, and evaluation feedback… plus how to spot the triggers that make feedback feel unbearable and what to do with them. Feedback doesn’t have to be your enemy. In fact, it can become one of the most powerful accelerators of your career and confidence, once you learn how to metabolize it. 🎯 In this episode: ↠ Why feedback feels threatening (especially with ADHD & rejection sensitivity) ↠ The 3 types of feedback: appreciation, coaching, evaluation ↠ Reinforcing vs redirecting feedback (the hiking path analogy) ↠ The 3 triggers that block feedback (truth, relationship, identity) ↠ How to know if it’s you or an environment mismatch ↠ Why 90% of feedback can be trash, and how to mine the gold ↠ How to reframe feedback as a tool, not a verdict PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they work and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Do you cringe when someone asks, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Most achievers love the idea of having a plan but freeze up trying to make one. In this episode, Amber walks you through a simple, values-based process to design a 5- and 10-year plan you’ll actually stick with. No overwhelm, no overthinking… just clarity, direction, and next steps. 🎯 In this episode: ↠ Why classic 5-year planning feels impossible (it’s not your fault) ↠ A quick values-first exercise that clarifies direction fast ↠ How to turn vague goals into checkable outcomes ↠ “Week in the life” prompts to design the future you actually want ↠ Why writing it down trains your RAS (reticular activating system) to spot opportunities Pause the episode, do the prompts with me, and by the end you’ll have a plan that feels inspiring, not overwhelming.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You hit six figures. You got the job. You did everything you thought would finally make you feel successful… and yet, you still feel stuck. In this episode, I’m naming something most high performers are too busy (or too proud) to admit: that outward success doesn’t always equal inner satisfaction. I share how I built a career chasing milestones, and how it left me feeling disconnected, directionless, and emotionally flat. That’s when I found the “Hero on a Mission” framework. And it changed everything. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why reaching your goals doesn’t guarantee fulfillment ↠ The trap of moving mile markers and chasing the next high ↠ A narrative shift: what if you’re the hero of a story? ↠ The “Will the hero…” question that rewires how you live ↠ How writing your eulogy creates instant clarity ↠ Breaking generational patterns, healing self-worth, and finding joy You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset shift that turns everyday decisions into plot-building moments, and your life into a meaningful story.

Perfectionism is burning you out. Here are 3 easy tactics to end it
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Let’s be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It’s burning you out. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who’ve been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working. You’ll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I’ve used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ The real reason you’re procrastinating (hint: it’s not laziness) ↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote ↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards ↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices 👀 ↠ The power of time limits and messy drafts to unlock creativity Perfectionism can look like ambition, but it’s actually fear wearing a nice blazer. If you’re craving more freedom, more energy, and better results with less pressure, this episode is your permission slip. ✨ Let’s test a different way of working, one that actually feels good. PS.

The A-Player’s Guide to Creating a Focus-First Workspace
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Ever feel like you're stuck in a fog but still pushing to be productive? You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're just missing context. In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience-backed strategy that helps high performers get into flow faster without burning out. We’re talking physical cues, brain states, music, clothing, space, and your body’s subtle language. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why your performance is being hijacked by your physical surroundings ↠ What neuroscience says about “context switches” and productivity ↠ How to anchor your environment to signal your brain into work mode ↠ The "Work Like You Work Out" method (and why it changes everything) ↠ The three switches that get your brain to focus instantly: space, clothes, and sound ↠ Why the music you listen to could be your secret performance tool This episode is for the high performers who want to stop forcing themselves into productivity and start designing it intelligently.

Protect the Asset: The Performance Strategy That Unlocks Your Full Potential While Avoiding Burnout
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Would you use a busted laptop in your biggest client meeting? Would you run a marathon in shoes full of holes? Of course not. So why are you pushing through your highest-stakes work with a depleted nervous system and zero energy? In this episode, I introduce you to my signature Protect the Asset principle — the performance strategy no one’s talking about. This isn’t bubble baths or massages (though we love those too). It’s about building your success around your actual peak energy window, so you perform at your best without burning out. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why burnout benefits no one, not even your company ↠ The Peak Window Protocol and how to identify your optimal productivity zone ↠ Why performance isn’t about 12-hour days, it’s about protecting your nervous system ↠ Real client stories that prove working less can actually lead to more results ↠ How to stop glorifying grind and start treating yourself like the most mission-critical part of your work ↠ Why your “meat suit” needs water, rest, white space—and a little grace This episode is a wake-up call to start honoring your energy, optimizing your workflow, and finally allowing yourself to perform like the elite asset you are.
