When I came across the book, “How to Stop Feeling Like Shit: 14 Habits That Are Holding You Back From Happiness,” by Andrea Owen, I had many questions. Andrea is a certified life coach who helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation and choosing courage and confidence instead. She joins me on the podcast this week. So, I had the opportunity to ask her the questions that came to mind when I first saw her book. Most specifically I wondered if there were downsides to being a strong and empowered woman, things I felt were part of my DNA. We chat about that and more.
We jammed on:
- Why being strong may have its downsides
- Why ambitious women are naturally hyper-independent and why we need to allow help from others
- What being in control 24/7 really means
- Can we really give zero fucks about everything?
