The Unstuck High Performer Podcast – Hypnotherapy and Mindset Coaching for High-Performers
The Unstuck High Performer Podcast is for successful people who know they’re capable of more but feel stuck underperforming relative to their potential. Hosted by high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter, this show helps CEOs, founders, executives, entrepreneurs, and ambitious professionals identify and eliminate the invisible resistance keeping them trapped in hesitation, overthinking, inconsistency, burnout, and quiet self-sabotage.
If you know what to do but aren’t doing it consistently, this show will help you get unstuck, out of your own way, and perform at the level you know you’re capable of.
What if the very skill that made you successful in business is quietly destroying your ability to enjoy the life you’ve built?
In this episode, I challenge the obsession with optimization that drives so many successful founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs—and reveal how the constant need to maximize every minute can make you impatient with your wife, disconnected from your children, and incapable of simply being present without feeling guilty.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why optimization is a superpower in business but can become a liability at home
- How the need to maximize productivity makes ordinary family moments feel like interruptions
- Why your wife may need your presence more than your solutions
- How constantly rushing your children can undermine connection
- The difference between being efficient in a conversation and being emotionally available
- Why even scheduled date nights can become another task to optimize
- How your obsession with productivity prevents you from truly resting
- Why slowing down can trigger guilt, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy
- Why you don’t need to lose your competitive edge to become more present
- Practical ways to stop optimizing family time and start enjoying it
