What does it really mean to be a high achiever—and what happens when you realize not everyone is wired that way?

In this episode of The Hale Effect, Rachel Hale explores the fascinating duality between those who tie their worth to productivity and those who find fulfillment without the constant push to achieve. As a self-identified high achiever, Rachel gets vulnerable about why stillness used to feel like failure, why watching others choose “enough” over “more” felt almost impossible to understand, and what she’s learned about people who operate from a completely different place—one rooted in presence, peace, and intrinsic motivation.

Together, we’ll unpack what drives high achievers, what motivates those who aren’t wired that way, whether one is “more successful” than the other, and how we can all find value in being and doing.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t slow down—or why some people seem perfectly happy doing so—this episode will challenge how you see yourself and others.
