Podcast Description
We’ve all been taught that in order to succeed, we need to push harder, grind longer, and sacrifice joy now in hopes of earning it later. But what if that model, the one most high performers live inside, is the very thing keeping us from our best?
In this episode, Sean DeLaney unpacks one of the most powerful, paradoxical truths about performance:
You don’t perform at your best by gripping harder.
You perform at your best when you’re free.
This isn’t about throwing out discipline or abandoning your goals.
It’s about releasing the identities, fears, and outcome attachments that block your presence — and returning to the state where your highest self actually lives.
We’ll explore:
- The hidden trap of identity and the performance persona
- What happens when you stop performing for approval
- How to work toward meaningful goals without being held hostage by outcomes
- Why the present moment is the only place your genius lives
If you’re tired of achieving but not feeling fully alive…
If you want to reclaim presence without losing ambition…
This one’s for you.
🎧 Listen now and start living from the version of you that flows — not the one that’s forcing it.
