There's the driven shame that will always be there, but then there's also the behavioral shame that I'm finally listening to now, whereas before I would have popped an adderall and gone to work and drank the next day. But I wouldn't change a thing.
Ever felt like your ambition is a double-edged sword, driving you to success but complicating your personal life? Erin Bellanca knows this all too well. In this episode, she sits down with Dr. Doug and Meghan to share her journey of navigating life as a 'Driven' woman. Erin opens up about her early years, where her relentless drive was all-consuming, making it easier to focus on work than on building a family.
But things took a turn when she learned to ground herself and shift her identity beyond just her career. Erin delves into the complexities of being married to another driven individual, highlighting the challenges and rewards of such a dynamic. She emphasizes the importance of softening, relying on others, and trusting both oneself and one's partner.
Erin also touches on the role of shame in the lives of driven people, distinguishing between the ever-present 'driven shame' and the behavioral shame she’s learning to listen to. Through her candid conversation, Erin offers valuable insights into achieving balance, overcoming personal hurdles, and living a life filled with adventure and gratitude. Whether you're driven by nature or simply looking for ways to balance ambition with personal life, Erin's story provides a relatable and inspiring roadmap.
