On Achievement: Why You Should Ease Off the Gas Pedal with Allie Trowbridge

Feb 1, 2022

Have you been waiting your whole life to get to a certain destination? To wake up one day and finally feel like you have arrived? If you can relate to wanting to stretch out your arms and revel in a sense of finished and accomplishment, then this episode is for you.

Today, Mary is joined by author and founder/ CEO of Copper - Allie Trowbridge - as the two dive deep into Allie’s book, “Twenty-Two: Letters to a Young Woman Searching for Meaning.” Using her own life and the impetus for the book, Allie remembers stepping into her twenties and wishing for a mentor to guide her through this dizzying season of life. “Twenty-Two” harnesses the power of story in a series of letters to an imagined young woman wrestling with the questions that arise as she stands on the precipice of adulthood. This powerhouse book will inspire a greater sense of mission and a passion in readers to live more fully as women embark on their own remarkable journeys.

On today’s episode, Mary and Allie tackle: 

• How and why you should give up achieving or performing or your worth

• Reasons you should focus on the process instead of the end goal

• Tips for learning to avoid regret

• The power of stillness, rest, and following your intuition 

If you are ready to trust the pursuit while releasing the outcome, and enjoy the ride instead of regretting the path, then you will not want to miss today’s incredible episode!
