Why Surrender Is a Superpower for High Achievers—with Jenn Drummond- EP264

Wicked-smart women tend to be high achievers.

But are you achieving out of fear? 

Or are you making intentional choices about what you want to accomplish and savoring the experience? 

Jenn Drummond was a top performer driven by fear, until a near-death experience taught her that she could surrender—and still achieve at a high level.

She soon became a World Record holder for ‘climbing the seven second summits’ and shared her story in BreakProof: 7 Strategies to Build Resilience and Achieve Your Life Goals.

Today, Jenn spends her time inspiring entrepreneurs to live a life of significance through her Seek Your Summit podcast, programs and signature talks.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jenn joins Anjel to explain how she survived a collision with a semi-truck and what the experience taught her about practicing surrender in daily life.

Jenn discusses what inspired her to take up mountaineering and describes the parallels between climbing a mountain and building a business outlined in her book.

Listen in for Jenn’s trigger meditation for making intentional choices and learn how to stop achieving out of fear and get present to the experience of reaching new heights!
