Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

It can hard to recognize that the “status quo” in your life just isn’t for you — we all get used to our default routines and convince ourselves that our lives are limited to fixed possibilities. But sometimes we get an itch inside that tells us we need to have something more. Once you’ve resolved to obtain it — whatever it is — how do you go about doing so?
My guests all have admirable experience recognizing and transforming their status quo. I asked them to share a bit of their insights on this edition of Quick Hits.
Multimedia journalist Daisy Cedeño told us about how she pursued her career despite resistance from her parents: “You have to first be uncomfortable with the status quo. When something is bothering you, you feel uncomfortable, you’re not at peace, that’s when you realize, ‘I am not in a place where I’m growing.’”
Healthcare expert Dr. Laura Dowling agreed with that definition of the status quo: “It means no learning or growing is happening…I escape that dead zone by learning something new, trying something that I’ve never tried before or challenging myself to do a little better in a particular area.”
Ian Hendry, the owner of Elevated Elements, shared with us about how he was able to grow his business, despite starting it at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic: “Fear of no money coming or how long it might take was a huge thing. But to get where you want to go, sometimes you have to take that leap.
Or as recovering academic Dr. Cole Galloway beautifully summed up: “You have the power to co-create.”
I so enjoyed speaking to and learning from these four great minds.
How do you recognize and escape the status quo?
