Listen "#25: The role of self-awareness for happiness and success"
Episode Synopsis
We spend so much of our lives working so why would we not think about the impact this has on our health and happiness? Today we’re chatting with guest Mike Cole about the importance of self-awareness in creating balance and good health. Mike is passionate about understanding how you operate and function as an individual - regardless of whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent - to ensure you design a life that fits your unique personality.
As someone who is neurodivergent and works full-time from home with their wife and children in home education, Mike has vast experience helping individuals to get clear about what they need to be happy and productive in all areas of their life.
In this episode we talk about:
The importance of self-awareness on building a healthy lifestyle.
Building confidence around your skills and ways of working to lean into your uniqueness
Struggling with acceptance of the different ways you work, and finding ways to navigate this so it doesn’t hold back your success.
Building support tools into your life to create balance as a business owner and family.
The value of community and why this is a must for your wellbeing toolkit.
Why so many of us operate in our lives from a place of ‘should’.
Health being anything but a one size fits all approach.
Happiness being the input instead of the output for so much of what we want to achieve in our lives.
