Let's challenge the "grind through the holidays" mentality. Hustle culture has convinced us that rest is lazy, that taking time off means we're not serious about our goals, and that we need to "end the year strong" no matter the cost. But what if that's all wrong? In this episode, we're redefining productivity and talking about strategic rest as a CEO power move—not something you do when you've earned it, but something that makes you better at everything you do.

143 | The High Achiever’s Guide to Sustainable Success

If you’ve ever been called a high achiever—or you just know it’s in your DNA—you already understand the drive for big goals, high standards, and the thrill of crossing things off the list. But here’s the truth: achievement without boundaries will run you straight into burnout. I’ve lived on both sides. The side where success felt like 12-hour days, a color-coded calendar, and exhaustion I wore like a badge of honor. And the side where I achieved bold goals while still protecting my energy, my...

If you're feeling like everything in your business depends on you, you're not alone—and you're not failing.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a systems-focused reset that will help you finish the year strong—without running yourself into the ground. Most entrepreneurs hit a wall in Q4.

135 | My Non-Traditional Work Style: Productivity That Honors My Brain

134 | Mastering the Power of No: The Boundary Every Business Owner Needs

Let me guess—you’ve said yes to something lately that felt off. A collaboration, a meeting, a favor you didn’t have time or capacity for.

Been there. More than once. In this episode, I’m getting all the way real about the cost of misaligned yeses and why learning to say no is one of the most power...

133 | You Don’t Need Another Certification to Start Your Business

I want to say this with love—but also with volume: you’re not stuck because you’re unqualified. You’re stuck because you’re unclear. In this episode, I’m calling out a pattern I see way too often (and have been caught in myself): collecting credentials instead of claiming clarity. If you’ve ever said, “I just need one more course, then I’ll launch…”—this conversation is for you. I’m breaking down why the constant pursuit of certifications can become a trap, how fear of failure and visibil...

Let’s talk about the job you never really wanted—but said yes to anyway. Not because it lit you up. Not because it aligned with your calling. But because it came with health insurance and a steady paycheck. Let’s break down what so many women in business feel but rarely say out loud: you’re not stuck because you’re unqualified—you’re stuck because you’re scared. We will talk through the emotional, financial, and identity cost of staying in a job for the “safety” it offers, and why that safe...
