Summary

This is a fan fav episode. Were you one of the 47 million Americans that voluntarily quit their job in 2021, a massive event now referred to as the Great Resignation? If you didn’t quit, maybe you came close to submitting your resignation and decided not to. The burning question is, what did people move towards after leaving their job? Was it a burn the ships at the shore kind of moment or a hasty emotional move caused by mounting stress in the moment? No matter where you are in your career or business, there is one critical question you should be asking yourself. How are you, really? Jenna Kutcher has pivoted her career and entrepreneurial moves more than a few times. She’s not a stranger to adversity, stress, disappointment or asking the hard questions. From wedding photography, to podcast host, to helping entrepreneurs grow their email list, Jenna shares her secret sauce to pivoting career moves successfully, and how to align with success in a way that is fulfilling and feels right to you. Stop falling into the hustle culture trap and start asking yourself questions that awaken you at your core. Hustle culture isn’t necessarily all-in, burn the ships, forget sleep, your sanity, your rest and recovery. There’s another path and another option to achieving the success you’re after.

Welcome to the Impact Theory podcast. Today we're talking about one of the most important questions we can ask. Are you really happy where you are?

0:08.2

If you've been a longtime listener of this podcast, you know the only belief that matters is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself.

0:16.3

And today's guest lands on the same belief from a different path. You may know her as the host of the Gold Digger podcast, a blogger, or for being a powerhouse

0:25.3

who empowers women all over the world.

0:27.3

And in today's episode, we are discussing her first book, How Are You Really?

0:52.4

0:56.2

And I am just really honored to be here. That's cool. Well, I'm excited to have you. The book, How Are You Really? Was amazing.

1:01.5

Thank you. And what I want to know is how do you, if somebody comes to you, and this is a question

1:06.7

I get asked all the time, they're feeling lost, not sure where to go with their life. What can

1:16.9

waste another year or, God forbid, even longer? I really think that our human race is struggling

1:24.4

to be quiet with ourselves. We're constantly distracted. And it's really

1:28.2

easy for me as a parent to see kids get distracted nowadays. It's like they don't know how to be
