How to 10x Your Life by Focusing on What Matters with Dr. Edie Wadsworth

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0700

Are you ready to see how good things can get for you, both personally and professionally?

Join me for a behind-the-scenes conversation with my dear client, Dr. Edie Wadsworth, as we dive into her journey of prioritizing her joy — and 10x-ing her life and business as a result!

Dr. Edie is a physician-turned-Life Coach and CEO who runs a coaching certification program and a monthly mentorship called Life Mentoring School.

In this episode, Edie shares how she has shifted from a tendency towards stress and striving, to living a day-to-day life where she can more easily relax, focus on what (and who) matters most to her, and do so while continuing to take her business to new heights.

We talk about what it looks like to...

- Break out of a nonstop achiever mode of do, do, do to create even *more* success

- Maintain a packed calendar full of things you want to do without feeling burnt out or overwhelmed

- Delegate tasks so you can focus on your favorite parts of life

- Prioritize your family alongside your work

- Tap into new levels of inspiration, and have projects come together more quickly and easily than ever before

This conversation is filled with lots of golden nuggets and mic-drop moments, and will open your eyes to what's possible for you, too!
