Podcasts by Not My Best
Julia Stern, co-founder of The Strong Collective, career changer, and recovering perfectionist, wants you to remove the word “best” from your vocabulary. She believes replacing it with the word “better” and making small, consistent changes will bring more success than trying to perform at 100%- 100% of the time. In an extremist society telling you to live your BEST life- we shy away from our personal goals, in fear that it’s never enough. Listen to dreamers and do-ers in fitness, fashion, lifestyle, and more- who will inspire you to stop trying to live your best life, and start actually living a better one.
