31. The Power of Being vs. Performing
Are you caught in the endless loop of doing, achieving, and proving yourself—yet still feeling unfulfilled? You’re not alone.
In this episode of No Cape Required, I sit down with coach and former corporate executive Zerina Derveni to explore a powerful shift: moving from constant performing to simply being.
We talk about why so many high-achieving women burn out chasing external validation—and how aligning with your core values allows you to lead and live with authenticity, confidence, and fulfillment.
Zerina shares her five-phase self-discovery journey that helps women unlearn old patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and step into lasting transformation. Along the way, we dig into:
-Why being yourself often attracts more success than endless doing.
-How EQ (emotional intelligence) creates clarity and deeper connections beyond IQ.
-The role of adaptability (AQ) in navigating change without losing yourself.
-Practical ways to identify your core values and use them as your decision-making compass.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels, this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and tap into the power of being.
👉 Share this episode with a friend who’s ready to ditch burnout and embrace authenticity—because success isn’t about doing it all, it’s about becoming who you really are.
