    Capacity Isn’t About Doing More, It’s About What You Remove

    In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting honest about something I’ve been navigating lately: the changing definition of capacity in motherhood. Since becoming a mom of two, I’ve noticed how easily I fall into the trap of trying to operate like my pre-kids self. This includes squeezing in “just one more thing,” chasing the illusion of night-time productivity, and forgetting that real capacity isn’t about time, but energy. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin and still wondering why it’s not enough, I hope this episode can act as a small nudge and guide!  Here’s what we unpack:  • 02:11 – Why capacity isn’t about adding more, it’s about deciding what to remove  • 04:27 – The true cost of “just one more thing” and learning to subtract, not stack  • 06:41 – Why nighttime is a gamble and the importance of building a work rhythm around reliable energy  • 08:57 – How to design your days around protected, focused hours, and stop relying on “fantasy” time If this episode hit home for you, I’d love to hear how you're redefining capacity in your own life. DM me on Instagram @rachellesaevil, and feel free to share this with a fellow mom who might need the reminder. Let's Connect!

    Staying Relevant During Mat Leave & Slow Seasons (Without Losing Yourself)

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the fear of losing relevance, especially during a slow season like mat leave, postpartum, or any major life transition. As I move through this slower chapter myself, I’ve been thinking a lot about what relevance actually means, and how we can stay aligned without constantly chasing visibility or momentum. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or unsure how to show up in this season, you’re not alone! Here’s what I explore: • 01:40 – How slower seasons like mat leave can spark fears of falling behind • 04:05 – Letting go of hustle culture and redefining success on your own terms • 06:19 – Navigating identity shifts and ambition after becoming a mother • 10:47 – What to do when relevance turns into anxiety and how to return your focus inward • 15:26 – Five practical ways to stay visible and grounded in this season, without the hustle:    1) Redefine your personal definition of relevance    2) Choose one ‘low visibility anchor” (monthly post, newsletter, podcast episode)    3) Audit the noise, mute accounts that trigger urgency or comparison    4) Turn inward before you turn outward    5) Stay relational, not performative  Just because you’re not moving fast doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward. Staying relevant doesn’t require you to be everywhere, it just asks you to be aligned. If this landed with you, DM me over on Instagram @rachellesaevil. I’d love to hear what season you're in and how you're navigating it. Let's Connect!

    Navigating Mom Self-Doubt & Relearning How to Trust Yourself

    In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that feels incredibly close to home: self-doubt after becoming a mother. As I’ve eased back into work and adjusted to life with two little ones, I’ve realized that decision-making doesn’t come as easily as it used to. The more I reflect on it, the more I understand how motherhood shifts the way we view ourselves and our ability to trust our instincts. I’m sharing how I’ve been navigating this challenge, especially as I continue to juggle my career, motherhood, and my personal life.  Here’s what we unpack: • 01:12 – Setting 3 types of realistic goals for this year. • 3:45 - Why motherhood makes decisions feel heavier and how my self-trust has shifted since having kids • 05:49 – Understanding where Mom self doubt shows up and reconnecting with your intuition  • 08:25 - The discomfort with identity transition and reframing the pressure to make things right • 10:15 – Practical steps you can take to rebuild trust, starting with small, low-stakes decisions Self-doubt doesn’t have to be permanent, and I truly believe that leaning back into our intuition is the way forward. It’s okay to not have all the answers, and that trusting yourself, even in small ways, can help rebuild the confidence we once had. If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your own experiences navigating self-doubt after motherhood. DM me on Instagram @rachellesaevil and let’s connect.

    The Flaw in Personal Development As a Busy Mom

    In this week’s episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to want more while also learning to sit in the “enough-ness” of where we already are. As I ease back into work after maternity leave, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into the cycle of what’s next, from the next milestone, the next client, to the next big win, without ever stopping to acknowledge how far we’ve come. If you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, or both, this is a gentle nudge to rethink the hustle and consider the cost of constant striving. Can ambition and contentment actually live side by side? I believe they can!  Here’s what I get into:  • 02:08 – Why the personal development space can trick us into always needing to be "better"  • 4:23 – The hidden cost of chasing success without reflection or pause  • 6:47 – Goal setting through a new lens: are you still aligned with the person who created the plan?  • 9:13 – Why I now view contentment and growth as partners, not opposites This is your permission slip to reflect instead of push, to celebrate instead of chase, and to remember: you once dreamed of exactly where you are today. I’d love it if you shared your thoughts with me! Leave a review or reach out over on Instagram @rachellesaevil. See you next time! Let's Connect!
