Ep. #189 | Rethinking how you were taught to work
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I’m delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
Today’s episode is a continuation of the thought that I had in last week’s Simplicity Bite. Last week, I discussed how I needed to learn to sit back after a win and celebrate; however, I felt compelled to continue working on the next project, for the next win. I received some great feedback from people over the past week. People DM’ed me to share their thoughts and/or congratulate me celebrating my victories.
I want you to think about how you were taught to work. Maybe it’s similar to the way I was taught to work: if you work more, then you will earn more and/or you will be more successful. However, that is not the full story; it’s important to listen to your mind and body. It’s important to not only celebrate the wins, but relax as well. Women are often burning out in their businesses because they want to do more work as they measure their busyness as part of their success.
If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to hello@jennpike.com or via Instagram at @jennpike and I’ll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.
Here are the main topics of today’s episode:
- How I feel after last week’s show (and the feedback- thank you!)
- What we were taught about how to succeed
- What happens when you don’t listen to your body
- Are you courageous enough to ask the question?

Quotes –
- “ Like you feel like you’ve been taught that doing the most is what you are supposed to do.”
- “We put the pressure on ourselves that either we have to nail it in, you know, seven different areas of our life or just hyper performance show up really high in one area.”
- “Can we please just stop focusing on the width of what we do in life and start to move heavier into the depth of what we do. Meaning why do we need to have a million things that we are participating in.”
- “Ask yourself, how wide am I? How deep do I want to go? Start to ask yourself where you can pull back on some of the width? Where can you trim and prune today?”
