✨ Reflection Prompts

Flip the spiral. These prompts will help you rewire your doubt:

• Frame It: What could your doubt be signaling about your next level or your growth?

• Forge Lift (1 day): Take one small action that doubt has been holding you back from. Do it anyway.
• Truth Cue (Ongoing): Choose a mantra like “Doubt is my data” or “I lead through the stretch” to anchor back when doubt strikes.

Heads up: This one’s got a little rougher sound than usual—but the message is too on-point not to drop. Sometimes the clarity’s worth the static.

Multitasking might look productive. But for high-achievers, it’s often a clever form of emotional avoidance.

In today’s episode, host Shawn Michael flips the “productivity hack” myth with “The Myth of Multitasking”—a high-impact reframe for leaders who feel scattered under the surface. You’ll uncover why constant task-switching isn’t just a habit, but a nervous system response rooted in fear, not efficiency—and how to reclaim your clarity, one move at a time.

🎯 What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Why multitasking is often emotional avoidance, not ambition
• The hidden cost of constantly “doing more”
• How presence—not pressure—creates real performance

• Break the multitasking loop with breath and awareness
• Return to focus, power, and aligned results
