In this debut episode of her new podcast evolution, Tiffany Han introduces Unperform and the Unperform Era—the radical shift from high-functioning martyrdom to bold, embodied sovereignty. She shares why overachieving isn’t coming to save us, what it looks like to stop being the glue, and the six core shifts that will help you reset your operating system: from reaction to intention, from role overload to nervous system safety, and from performative productivity to gentle, bold clarity.If you’ve been performing success while secretly unraveling, this episode is your permission slip to stop proving and start becoming.Links + Shownotes:Tiffany's website: tiffanyhan.comTiffany's IG: @thetiffanyhanNewsletter Magic (aka permission slips in your inbox): tiffanyhan.kit.com/newsGrown-Up Gap Year waitlist (your strategic life redesign): tiffanyhan.com/gugy-waitlist

For many of us, taking action can feel like an uphill battle, even if we’re motivated or inspired. The weight of uncertainty, fear of failure, and the allure of procrastination often paralyzes our best intentions.  It’s a common struggle to transform a thought into some sort of tangible action.  In my own life, I have found simple steps to take that help me actually get started.  What I am sharing with you today: How to take action (it’s not just about creating an attainable first step) The three steps that help us make things happen How to keep going!

See you next time!   Tweets/Quotes:   Getting prepared is actually its own starting action. If we haven't done that step, then we're trying to jump forward, and it's harder. It takes more - more strength, more initial force, more power to overcome that inertia, and then nobody wins.   There are two deep breaths that are most important. Number one is the one that you take right before you do the thing, right before you take action. The second one is the one that you take after you've started because it lets you know that you survived.   Envision taking the action. Seeing it is going to help you believe that it's possible.  

Something that I hear so, so often goes like this: There are so many things happening all the time and all I can do is just keep reacting. Ack. We don’t want to live like that, right? We want to work toward goals and have direction - we want lives that feel good. So how can we do that amongst all the adulting stuff that keeps popping up? Today, we’re going to talk about momentum.

See you next time!   Tweets/Quotes: The beautiful thing about being on a journey is that every step of the journey teaches you more about what you need to know for the next step of the journey.   One thing that you can do to prepare yourself better for potential friction is as you're thinking about momentum, as you're thinking about starting, and how to protect yourself from the outside forces, is to say when the friction shows up, here are some different things I can do.   All or nothing thinking is never going to be satisfied because we can always try to have more and the opposite of more in all or nothing thinking is nothing. Not helpful.   It’s an adjustment to start reshaping your goals so that they actually fit into the life that you currently have. And it's a gift.  

We’ve all heard it a million times:   “Work smarter, not harder.”   But guess, what? If that worked, we’d all be doing it already, right?    And if like me, you have ADHD or an otherwise neurodivergent brain, this advice wasn’t created for you.   But not to worry - I've got you!   There absolutely is a way to get things done, without trying to cram your magical brain into the “work-smarter” box.

Fear. Yikes, right? Fear keeps so many of us from doing the things that we want to do in our lives. We all experience fear, but when we’re going through it, it’s easy to feel alone, and like we are the only one who get stuck in fear’s clutches. So today, let’s get into fear - specifically, the kind of fear that keeps us from taking action on the things we want to do. Let’s talk about: The relationship between fear and procrastination Why beating up our fear doesn’t work 5 steps to get through fear that is blocking your path So join me - you can read, listen or watch!  Resources from this episode: Get this episode's Cheat Sheet!

Tweets/Quotes: Every time you try to fight the fear, all you end up doing is making it more powerful because you're giving it your attention, and everything you pour into it, it is going to give back to you exponentially. Part of what happens with fear is that as we take action towards whatever it is that we're building, it starts to dissipate. There is a better way forward for you, a more loving way forward, and a more sustainable way forward that is so much easier, because you are not pouring all of your energy into fighting the fear. Instead, you learn to work with it, and then on the other side, you actually have energy left to be in your life.

Your life's purpose is not to white knuckle your way through to some externally defined end result that you are not connected with. Stop making your goals unreachable. Stop it. The moon is not for your to do list. Put it on your vision board if you want to shoot for the moon. But for your to do list - be more reasonable. You cannot out-motivate your capacity, nor can you use motivation to solve a capacity problem.
