How to start winning (by forgetting the finish line)

Untethered with Jen Liss

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text!

Have you ever caught yourself measuring your self-worth by the trophies on your shelf, instead of the passion in your heart?
Join me in this Thursday Thread as I pull a thread of insight from my conversation with Alan Stein Jr. where I discuss the why falling madly in love with the process, rather than being fixated on the finish line, is the key to success. In a society that often confuses achievement with fulfillment, it's time we deconstruct that narrative and learn why the journey itself holds the key to our deepest joy and potential for success.
This episode is designed to reignite the flames of passion for what you do, reminding you that your present moment joy is your everyday strategy for longterm results.
Through the lens of a pivotal Stanford study, I explore how reward-based motivation might be dimming the light on passions that used to shine bright. And finally, we wrap up with a guided breath meditation that will help you tap into your present joy.
