Episode #71 Taking Back What's Yours featuring Allison Graham
“Your to-do-list is not a predator, if it’s causing you stress we have a problem because the to-do-list isn't going to end. So if we're having this expectation that circumstances external to us are going to change in order for our stress response to change, we're never going to win the game”

While the pathway to success starts with having a vision of what you want for yourself, execution plays a big part of the equation which is why it’s so important for our productivity level to be as high as it can be.
If there’s anything people struggle to achieve as much as, if not more than, the elusive happiness, it’s better productivity.
The key is to work smarter, not harder. As the saying goes, “it’s not the number of hours you put into work, it is the amount of work you put in those hours.”
However, just like the art of happiness, being more productive isn’t rocket science either.
Meet Allison Graham, author, executive coach, resilience expert and speaker who founded and leads Elevate Seminars and Strategic Development Inc.
In her latest book, “Take Back Your Weekends: Stress Less. Do More. Be Happier”, Allison gives tools to readers to find the harmony between home and work. Using her problem-solving framework, she unpacks exactly how to harness the power of “good stress” while minimizing soul-sucking destructive stress.
“I think about all of the hours of capacity, not just time, but the emotional, the mental, physical, spiritual capacity that is stolen from these human experience patterns that are in our heart in our mind and our body and to me, that's the opposite of living your audacious life.”
Allison joins The Audacious Living Podcast to discuss her new book, strategies for managing stress in our day-to-day lives and why working weekends isn't "bad” the key is to have the choice to work extra hours or not.
