Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.

I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.

Most of us think that being hard on ourselves is what drives results. Hustle. Grind. Fear. The inner critic. We’ve trained ourselves to believe that’s what works.

But here’s the truth: it works until it burns you out.

If you actually want higher performance, faster recovery, and long-term success, the secret isn’t pushing harder. It’s practicing self-compassion. Not fluffy, feel-good stuff. The science shows it increases resilience, motivation, and performance.

In this episode, I share the research, my own resistance to self-compassion, and the exact techniques I used (yes, even asking ChatGPT for help) that changed everything.

🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

↠ Why “hustle harder” is a short-term strategy that leads to burnout ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation ↠ My own resistance (and how I literally had to learn this from scratch) ↠ Why self-compassion feels so foreign if it wasn’t modeled for you ↠ How I practiced it with ChatGPT as my “coach” and what changed ↠ The Disneyland story: how compassion fueled productivity ↠ Techniques for meeting your younger selves with compassion ↠ Practical tactics: normalize feelings, meet yourself where you are, and break down tasks
