82. Book Discussion: Trust Yourself, Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions at Work, by Melody Wilding, LMSW

Do you see yourself as a high achiever and who happens to be really sensitive to things? If so, this is the episode for you! We dig into Melody Wilding’s book, Trust Yourself, Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions at Work. She uses the term “Sensitive Strivers” for those of us that are high achieving sensitives and it describes Yo to a T. We’ll explore when our sensitive traits can be a liability and also what it means to overthink things.

Enjoy the listen.

Here are the episode take-aways:

1. STRIVE (sensitivity, thoughtfulness, responsibility, inner-drive, emotionality) taken to an extreme can be a liability.

2. The best way to address overthinking is by naming and reframing.

4. Being a sensitive striver can be a real competitive advantage.
