The Juice: What the Wolf Man Said

September 27th, 2021 LIKE WHAT YOU READ? SHARE IT!

During the depths of my burnout, when everything I thought gave me value…

(my appearance, a somewhat hot body, work successes, C-suite clients) fell away,

I had a conversation with my friend Teo Alfero, author and spiritual teacher.

Teo runs Wolf Connection, a charity in California, to help struggling youth.

As you’d expect, he’s an old soul.

“You think you’ve been successful because of your overachieving all your life?” he asked me.

I nodded. I mean, duh!

He smiled and went quiet.

Then he said with the tenderest a$$kicking tone:

“Mandy, you’ve been successful in spite of your overachieving, pushing, and efforting. In spite of, not because of.”

It’s time to cultivate flow.

I’m reminding you because I’m reminding me too.
