Ordinary on Purpose: How to Stop Trying to Prove Your Worth with Mikala Albertson - a podcast by Mary Marantz

Do you find yourself not getting much joy from the things that used to light you up? Do you feel stuck in the breakneck pace of proving and projecting a perfect life? 

Out of our own perception of the voices around us, social media, our culture, and even our own expectations, we create and chase our definition of ‘perfect’ 

So what would happen if we gave up the chase? Wouldn’t anything less than perfect just be ordinary?

Today’s guest felt like an ordinary life was a consolation prize to the life she dreamed of but when everything she had worked for fell crumbling to the ground, she began to realize she may have missed the point. 

Join Mikala and Mary as they discuss how compliance can be our source of control and what we can learn from our littlest selves as we pursue the ordinary in our life.

Tune in today to hear, 

• Why we need to define our ambition

• The list that will help you realign your priorities 

• How to protect your heart while opening your hands with your story

 

This episode is a powerful example of the impact of truth-telling and the courage it takes to surrender your story. So, whether you find yourself in desperate need of a change or a reminder to reassess your ambition, today’s episode is for you. 

Because life isn’t built on the highlight reel, but rather the ordinary moments we experience each and every day.
