17 MAG 2024 · Welcome to the episode where (each season) we define what we mean by, “Untrained”! Our guest this week is “the definition of Untrained.”
That is to say, it’s us (Iris and Whitney!) talking about what untraining has meant to us personally, where we are in our own “untraining process,” and where the podcast conversations are headed in the future. We’ve had a season full of powerful, insightful, and informative interviews with experts on topics including imposter syndrome, career transitions, anxiety at work, and vulnerability in leadership.
Speaking of vulnerability, we both share our own Untrained cycles and invite you to do the same with the worksheet you can download here: http://www.lifealivecoaching.org/resources What we will explore in this episode:
- What does “success” look like to you? How has this changed throughout your life?
- What “Untrained” means to us.
- Power and ownership in creating a more aligned life.
- Surfacing our invisible patterns -- until we see it, we can’t change it.
- How messy it is to be a human!
- Cultivating networks to nurture your truest, most-aligned self.
- Evaluating the systems that are ingrained to see if they still serve you.
Training: New cycles that don’t involve always working for some future reward. Untraining: The cycles that are no longer serving us in the pursuit to get what we want.
