The Gentle You: How to Reconnect With the Part of You You've Abandoned feat. Courtney Carver

THE ED MYLETT SHOW

Are you addicted to “more” and missing your life?

I brought Courtney Carver on not just for you, but for me too. Because if you’re like me—a climber, a high achiever—you probably feel that slowing down means you’re falling behind. But what if I told you that you’re not broken, and you don’t need “more” to be enough? In this conversation, Courtney and I get honest about what it really means to rest first, to stop chasing a finish line you can’t even define, and to start living here instead of waiting for “there.”

We talk about the moments when your body starts rejecting your pace, your aggression, and your addiction to constant movement. I share what it felt like to sit by the ocean yet never look at it because I was glued to my phone, and how leaving that phone inside during a cigar break changed everything for me. Courtney shares the small, practical shifts that allowed her to simplify her life without blowing it up—and why rest isn’t just sleep, but the small choices that allow you to reclaim your energy without guilt.

We also get into why so many of us—especially achievers—avoid slowing down, and how we attach our identity to “more.” Courtney’s take? You’re not broken, you just need to redefine what enough looks like for you. We also talk about the hidden cost of constant advice-giving and how letting go of regret can unlock the energy you’re leaking into the past so you can move forward with more clarity and peace.

• Why rest should come first—not last—and how this fuels better performance.
• How to take small, practical steps to simplify without losing your edge.
• Why your addiction to “more” might be stealing your peace and focus.
• How leaving your phone behind, even for an hour, can transform your presence.
• Letting go of regret so you can move forward without dragging the past with you.

Listen, I know you’re busy. I know you’ve got goals. I do too. But what if you could climb without burning out? What if you could actually enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build?Key Takeaways:It’s time to stop living for a “someday” that never comes. This conversation will help you create space to enjoy the life you’re fighting for. Share this with someone who needs it—and as always, MAX OUT.
