Episode Summary:

I got food poisoning at the airport right before our flight home from Madrid, and those two hours on the plane gave me a HUGE flashback to moments in my life when I was enduring something I really didn’t need to endure. It took me right back to the moments before I quit my job, filed for divorce, and even made the much smaller decision to switch project management software after using the same one for 10 years.

I’m incredibly resilient—and you probably are too. But sometimes we can misuse our ability to endure intensity, staying in situations long after our bodies are telling us it’s time for something different. In this episode, I’m giving you a little tough love about what it actually takes to enter your most peaceful, profitable chapter of business yet—and why working less, including building a 3-day work week, requires us to become willing to let go of day-to-day intensity.

Topics:

  • The unexpected flashback that food poisoning on a flight from Madrid triggered

  • How our ability to endure can become a liability when we stay in intensity too long

  • Recognizing the physical and emotional signals that it’s time to make a change

  • What quitting my job, filing for divorce, and changing software all had in common

  • Why resilience doesn't mean you have to keep tolerating something that isn't working

  • What letting go of day-to-day intensity has to do with creating a peaceful, profitable 3-day work week
