Ep 025 - Admitting and accepting Struggle as the place where the good stuff happens

When we struggle with something we often try to hide it, relating struggle with failure and not wanting to accept it, admit it or acknowledge it! If I am struggling am I not coping? Should you not trust me if I am struggling? How comfortable are you at letting me struggle, or do you need to fix it? At the start of a brand new year when people are often focussing on New Year Resolutions and setting goals for the year ahead, what a perfect time to talk to Productivity Ninja Grace Marshall, who is a big advocate of struggling, so much so that she wrote a book about it! Grace suggests that Struggle is the place where the treasure and golden nuggets can be found and that by shying away from it or avoiding it, we are missing the opportunities that really matter. You can find out more about Grace and why struggle matters at – I hope you enjoy our conversation and it gives you some food for thought as we face into a brand new year.
