Welcome to the show!
In this transformative episode, I sit down with Hugh Wahla, a coach, former CEO, and an inspiring voice on purpose, balance, and joy. Hugh shares his extraordinary journey, from a traumatic childhood through a high-powered career in global business, to a life reshaped by self-discovery and outrageous goals. With vulnerability and candour, he reveals how meditation, coaching, and reorienting his goals have allowed him to live fully in the present while pursuing a life of meaning.
Key Points We Cover:
From Loss to Liberation:
Hugh’s early life was marked by immense trauma, but it shaped his kamikaze approach to life, and later, a deeper appreciation for joy and purpose.
The Power of Meta Goals:
Shifting from rigid, result-focused “smart goals” to expansive, open-ended meta goals allowed Hugh to embrace growth and adaptability in all aspects of life.
Reconnecting to the Present:
Through meditation and self-compassion, Hugh learned to shed imposter syndrome and perfectionism, finding joy in the journey instead of chasing outcomes.
Living Outrageously:
Hugh’s philosophy of setting “outrageous goals” has led him to conquer fears, such as learning to swim at 53, and embracing challenges like swimming in frozen lakes and undertaking extreme adventures.
Main Takeaway:
True fulfilment comes not from striving for perfection, but from embracing the present, setting bold yet flexible goals, and living with intention, purpose, and joy.
