There is a solution to numb the pain of reality and move towards comfort where it\u2019s easier to accept things as they are no matter where you are. Mikhaila Peterson gracefully embodies the struggle of what it means to face yourself and all of your inadequacies and continue to push and explore through discomfort in pursuit of finding meaning while protecting what it means to be human, be a mother, be sexy and a successful business woman. \n\nSHOW NOTES:\nAccidental | Mikhaila talks about unplanned pregnancy at 23, career, & marriage [2:03]\nAnxiety & Chaos| Navigating stress from relationships and reducing chaos [7:17]\nMarriage | Mikhaila on the challenges of marriage before building foundation [10:12]\nHaving Children | Is there a \u201cright\u201d time to have kids or only trade-offs to consider [14:54]\nParenting Balance | How to balance an ambitious career and guilt free mothering [18:15]\nCriticism | Mikhaila on identifying where she could be wrong & being even keeled [25:28]\nVolatility | Mikhaila on how she\u2019s navigating her triggers and stress response [28:32]\nSelf-Awareness | How Mikhaila began to notice her symptoms and reactions [33:18]\nSex Appeal | Mikhaila on embracing her sex appeal and growing her business [38:12]\nConfidence | Having confidence & the borderline of being overly self conscious [51:12]\nBeing Hardcore | What it takes to push self-limits and see what you can achieve [56:18]\nHaving Impact | Mikhaila on getting \u201cgreedy\u201d wanting to help many people [1:01:39]\nPushing Limits | Finding balance to push too hard or being more reasonable [1:04:34]\nBurnout | Mikhaila on pushing through work you don\u2019t enjoy doing, outsourcing [1:10:18]\nOrder & Chaos | Mikhaila on the navigating the balance of order and chaos [1:16:55]\nDiscomfort | How to explore discomfort while building a brand vs. individual [1:19:46]\nHealthy Diets | Mikhaila on how she regulates diet chooses for her daughter [1:23:33]\nCarnivore Diet | Mikhaila on the benefits of an all beef diet on her body [1:29:00]\nFMT Experience | Mikhaila shares her experience with 10 FMT transplants [1:32:43]\xa0\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nBetter Help: Get 10% off your first month at https://betterhelp.com/impacttheory\nButcher Box: Bacon for Life is back!
