There's a reason stress reduction is a billion-dollar industry. There's so much stress right now that a lot of our clients have lost the ability to tell what stress is working for them and what stress is working against them.

We're in the homestretch of the college application process with our kids, and the stress that comes along with the entire process is a perfect example of why we wanted to talk about this topic on the podcast this week.

If you've been feeling stressed, burnt out, or overwhelmed, this episode is for you.

Are you borrowing someone else's life plan?

We often set goals or make decisions based on the path we think we should be on without giving much thought to what we truly want out of life. We see others doing certain things or achieving admirable goals and think we should be doing the same. But, what if we don't actually want to do those things?

Our topic this week came to us from a few different directions, but we wanted to bring it to the podcast because our clients almost always raise this topic at some point in our work together.

Is a life plan necessary? Do Nayla and Eric even agree on the answer to that question? Tune in to this week's episode to find out.

Inspiration can be found anywhere and, if you're Eric, that can even include a skeleton in your front yard.

A lot of us believe we're supposed to feel thrilled, excited, energized, and inspired by our work. While it would be great if that were true all the time, we tend to panic in the moments when it feels like our inspiration in our work is drying up.

So, in this episode that was recorded shortly before Halloween, we're exploring what we refer to as the inspiration paradox by discussing what it looks like to lose inspiration in the workplace, whether or not we need to feel inspired in order to be productive, what we can do about a lack of inspiration, and more.
