  That's Just Who I Am" Is a Terrible Excuse | Midweek Momentum with Angie Callen

  Sep 16, 20265 min

  "That's just who I am." But is it? After my conversation with Ebony McNeil about character, accountability, and who we're becoming, I kept thinking about the difference between knowing yourself and deciding you can't change. In this More Work Mondays, I'm digging into the tension between authenticity and growth — and why being yourself doesn't mean every current version of you deserves permanent protection. Plus, I'm introducing something new for this season of No More Mondays: three-episode arcs that let us explore one big idea from different perspectives, with MWM as my chance to reflect on what I'm still thinking about after each conversation. This first arc: self-coaching and learning to lead yourself.

  Tiny Living, Big Freedom: Designing Life on Your Own Terms

  Aug 10, 202648 min

  Shannon Arner and her husband Jerry had a successful pet care business — and it was killing them. In 2017, Shannon found herself sitting in the surf on the coast of North Carolina, mentally and physically done. In the weeks that followed, they sold the business, sold the house, sold most of their stuff, and moved into a 500 square foot tiny home on the coast. People thought they'd lost their minds. What they'd actually found was their lives. Shannon is the co-founder of Arner Adventures, a blog and community dedicated to helping others simplify, downsize, and design a life that actually fits them. She joins Angie to talk about the real face of burnout, what the healing period after a major life reset actually looks like, how minimalism reduces mental clutter (not just physical), and how to define adventure on your own terms — even if that just means trying a new restaurant. In this episode: What burnout actually looks like when you've hit the wall How Shannon and Jerry sold everything in 30 days and didn't have a plan The healing period: sunshine, rainbows, and getting to know each other again Minimalism as a mental health tool — physical clutter and mental clutter are connected Defining adventure for yourself (it doesn't require hang gliding) Done is better than perfect — and why waiting for the perfect moment keeps you stuck The 30-day declutter challenge at arneradventures.com Book recommendation: Blue Mind by Wallace J. Nichols Connect with Shannon: Website + free resources: arneradventures.com Also listen: Angie's episode on the Arner Adventures podcast
