In this episode, Dawn explores the idea of not needing to excel at everything and gives permission to be average or mediocre at some things. She discusses the pressure of our achievement-based culture and the conditioning that many of us have to be the best at everything. Dawn encourages listeners to focus on their zone of genius and strive for mastery in one or two areas, while allowing themselves to be average or even bad at other things. She emphasizes the importance of finding joy and freeing up energy by letting go of the need to excel in every aspect of life.
