Episode Synopsis

Bree talks about Gold Medal Syndrome as a way to describe how we all often focus on outcomes and miss out on the good stuff  - particularly the 'messy middle' - where growth and effort occur. Outcomes aren't often as they seem. We're rarely as happy as we think we'll be once we achieve that hoped for outcome and contentment right where you are is an option rather than solely aiming for accolades and achievements.
 
Takeaways

Life is about how you lived the dash.
The messy middle is where growth happens.
Achievements are byproducts of effort and process.
Focus on the journey, not just the destination.
Gold medals are not the only measure of success.
Embrace the challenges in the middle of life.
Personal growth comes from navigating difficulties.
Attention should be on the process, not just outcomes.
