Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

At the end of every decision is an outcome, every single time. But sometimes we don’t have enough time or information, so how can you make smart decisions to create your desired outcome? We may often find ourselves consumed with decision fatigue because we are afraid of the consequences of making the wrong choice. Other times, the product of our actions feels so far away that we cannot even begin to fathom how to make the right decision. Instead of obsessing over finding the right answer, today’s guest, Catherine Ulrich, encourages us to start by asking “Who do I want to be?” and taking a long hard look at all of the outcomes, especially the less desirable ones. This isn’t to prepare for the worst, but rather, to assess the worst-case scenario in detail to stop it from having any reign over our lives at this moment. When we keep the different possibilities in mind, we always know what we’re walking into and how to behave accordingly. At the end of the day, our energy dictates our thoughts and feelings. Instead of allowing ourselves to get caught up in overwhelming feelings, we must understand why we are afraid, the steps we can take to overcome that fear, and why that fear is much bigger in our heads than it is in reality. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How to find confidence in your own voice (03:49) Defining “who you want to be” rather than “what you want to do” (11:19) How to create a culture of radical candor and transparency (18:59) Learning to break down big lofty goals into more feasible steps (24:24) Anticipating failure and preventing self-sabotage (27:09) Growing out of relationships and how to accept the new phases of your lives (37:38) Energy and the ways your energy affects others (40:49) Creating your own model of leadership in a male-dominated field (47:55) Plus much more… Some Questions I Ask: Were you and are you a perfectionist? (07:02) Do you believe in models like the 80/20 rule? (09:11) How do you balance giving hard feedback when sometimes it can also put you in a place of vulnerability? (18:58) How do take the pressure off decisions that feel high stakes? (24:24) Do these feasible steps apply in terms of how you evaluate the thought process of an entrepreneur? (28:46) How have your relationships and friendships evolved over time? (35:25) What does it take for people to find that space to be okay with looking inside?
