We all have stressful days, and we all handles stress in our own ways. Some exercise, some have a few drinks, some binge watch a favorite (or a stupid) show, and some go for the Ben and Jerry’s. It’s important for us to think about our own coping mechanisms and determine whether or not we’re just numbing out and avoiding dealing with our stressors head on, because if we’re just numbing out, the issues that are causing us the stress in the first place are still going to be there when we’ve finished the pint of ice cream or the bottle of wine, but now we’re going to feel bad about the extra calories or the hangover as well.

My guest, Anita Parr, has had her own personal experiences with numbing out and now coaches others to manage their own desires for things that they use in harmful ways (alcohol, food, and more). She discusses her unique approach and her program, Rewire Your Desire, which is a holistic approach incorporating yoga, Ayurveda, nutrition, coaching, and more.

You can learn more about Anita Parr and Rewire Your Desire at http://www.rewireyourdesire.org and on Facebook at Rewire Your Desire, and you can follow her on Instagram @anitaparryoga.

Anita recommends Louise Hay’s book, You Can Heal Your Life, which you can get at Amazon [https://amzn.to/2WT21Qy].

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, when we experienced success and were recognized for our achievements, others celebrated with us? Sometimes that’s the case, but unfortunately, when someone experiences success, others often resent, attack, or ostracize them. This is known as the Tall Poppy Syndrome, and it can be so demoralizing. My guest today, Rumeet Billan, is an expert in this and recently conducted research on Tall Poppy Syndrome in Canada, and she shares her findings and their implications for all of us.

In studying over 1500 women Rumeet found that 87% of study participants reported that their success was undermined by others at work, and the number one result was a negative impact on their self-esteem and self-confidence. They also ended up downplaying their achievements and engaging in more negative self-talk. Most women felt that they were brought down by both men and women, but in different ways. The men who undermined their successes tended to be in CEO roles and the women who brought them down tended to bee peers and colleagues. Rumeet studied women but points out that men are also victims of tall poppy syndrome. She discusses some of the effects of this on employees as well as what it means for the companies themselves, and she has advice for companies on how to manage this.

You can learn more about Rumeet, and download a white paper on Tall Poppy Syndrome, at her website (https://rumeetbillan.com), and there’s a website for her book as well (https://www.whodoiwanttobecome.com).
