298. How To Be Okay with Disappointing Others And Why It Will Help You Live The Life You Want

<p>Originally Aired: October 6, 2020</p> <p>What's it going to take for you to FINALLY live the life you want to live?</p> <p>For me it was a brain tumor. For @ShaunaNiequest, it was the painful realization that her stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm had turned into nothing: complete numbness.</p> <p>But wasn't Shauna was living her dream..? Multiple #NYT bestselling author, frequently booked international lecturer, and celebrated thought leader?</p> <p>Despite the success, she realized that her inability to be present with the people she truly loved the most - her husband and her children - was the final straw. As she says in her bestseller #PresentOverPerfect: "It's very hard to be loved and connected to the people in your home when you're always bringing them your most exhausted self and resenting the fact that the scraps you're giving them aren't cutting it.”</p> <p>Shauna's decision to choose presence over perfection wasn't an easy one; as she mentions in the interview, saying yes to some people means saying no to others. But if we're guaranteed to disappoint people, shouldn't we make those people the least important people, rather than our closest loved ones? In today's beautiful convo, Shauna and I discuss how to make those decisions as we inevitably disappoint certain people in our lives so we can honor those we love the most.</p> <p>Subscribe To Better Together w/ Maria Menounos: https://www.youtube.com/c/mariamenounos</p> <p>Subscribe & Review Better Together w/ Maria Menounos: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-together-with-maria-menounos/id1320060107</p> <p>Join Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria</p> <p>Check out our BT Clips channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHMkQ9ASfIEwqvkR7KHu-FQ</p> <p>FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL!</p> <p>Instagram: https://instagram.com/bettertogetherwithmaria</p> <p>TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJD6vrkY/</p> <p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/432608110738691</p> <p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/better-together-with-maria-menounos</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support</a>
