The Small Hacks That Make Life Easier

Bonnie St. John is the first African American to win medals in winter Olympic competition, taking home three at the 1984 Paralympics. She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. Earned a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford. Served in the White House as a director of the National Economic Council. “I was such a drive-yourself-until-you-drop person,” she says. Until she learned a different paradigm for high performance—micro-resilience—“little hacks that have a big impact.” In this episode, we get her favorite strategies and tools for changing pessimistic viewpoints, prioritizing, making decisions, working with others, and just getting it done. For more, see St. John’s book Micro-Resilience and her online master class. (P.S. If you want to try the new beauty hero GP mentions in today's episode, head to our Glow Peel podcast page.
