Join Jessica Warpula Schultz, LMFT, and Kristen Radtke, LPC, as they discuss society's obsession with high performers and why we can't stop watching them. They explore the choices people make to reach this level of success and the potential loneliness felt on top. Kristen asks her clients, and the listener, "When you're on your deathbed, looking back, will you be happy that you cranked the dial on performance? Or will it involve so much sacrifice that you're going to be in a lot of emotional pain?"
Kristen believes the development of embodied insight to be a crucial step in the process of self-transformation. "I want to liberate people to be able to crank that dial up if they want to and crank it down, if they want to, according to their stage of life and circumstances...my goal is always to help people move in the direction that is most authentic to their inner majority, with a full understanding that that can change over time."
Kristen trains individuals, groups, and teams in psychophysical techniques to optimize performance. In both her clinical practice and in her athletic coaching, Kristen frequently employs meditation and mindfulness techniques to help clients accept and skillfully work with whatever arises in their minds, bodies, and lives.
