Doris Efford on Reclaiming You and Breaking Free from the Shoulds
Manage episode 475468110 series 3554061
Doris Efford, certified life coach and founder of the Moonshot Club, shares her journey from living by others' expectations to discovering her authentic self after a wildfire evacuation forced her to reassess her priorities. Through personal stories and professional insights, we explore how to break free from societal "shoulds," identify true personal values, and create systems that honor our natural rhythms.
• Self-described as "the chaos comformer," Doris helps women reclaim their time through strategic systems
• Catalytic moments like evacuations or career dissatisfaction can prompt vital self-reflection
• Living according to external expectations often leaves us feeling empty despite "checking all the boxes"
• Understanding your values requires defining what abstract concepts like "family" truly mean to you
• The moon's 29.5-day cycle provides a natural framework for productivity, communication, and essential rest
• Resistance to change from others often stems from their own insecurities or fear of being left behind
• What others think of you reflects their filters and experiences, not your worth or choices
• Self-investment is different from expenditure – it returns time, energy, and fulfillment
• Social media and other distractions reveal where our time could be redirected toward personal growth
• Rest isn't a luxury but a necessity – ignoring your body's signals has significant health consequences
