What Am I Doing & Why?

Kim Meninger
About this episode

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about what keeps us from reaching our full potential. Although we want to continue to grow, take risks and achieve our goals, our brains want to keep us safe. This means we have a bias towards our comfort zones because what’s comfortable to us has proven to have kept us alive. Unfortunately, what got us here won’t get us where we want to go. My guest this week, Byron Morrison, mindset and performance coach and author of the book, “Maybe You Should Give Up - 7 Ways to Get Out of Your Own Way and Take Control of Your Life”, shares powerful insights and action steps we can use to get unstuck and become the people we want to be.

About My Guest
Byron Morrison is the author of 3 best-selling books and over the last decade, he has worked with CEOs, entrepreneurs and leaders in 15 different countries to help them take back control of their life and business.

Life hasn't always been this way though, for most of his life he was his own worst enemy, sabotaging everything from his health to his relationships and his personal success. After his dad's cancer he went on a journey of transformation, where after losing 50 pounds and turning his life around, he set out on a mission to help others take control of their life.

For the last decade, he’s been working with people from around the world to help them get out of their own way so that they can start living the life that they want. Everything he’s done has built up to his new book “Maybe you should give up - 7 ways to get out of your own way and take control of your life” which hits stores in June.
