    Are You Even on Your Own List? with Erin Gallagher

    If you're a woman who constantly puts everyone else first, this episode is going to hit differently.  You know that feeling when you look at your calendar and realize you're not even on it? When every single time slot is filled with obligations to others, and the thought of prioritizing yourself feels selfish or impossible? Today's conversation with Erin Gallagher, author of the new book Hype Women, is going to challenge everything you've been taught about selflessness and what it's costing you. Erin is sharing five powerful shifts that women can make today to start serving themselves first. And here's the truth bomb: when you're constantly being selfless, you're not just robbing yourself. You're robbing everyone around you from experiencing the truest, most present version of who you are. This isn't about adding more to your plate or earning the right to take care of yourself. It's about understanding that prioritizing yourself is the foundation for everything else to work. In This Episode, I'll Cover: The real question to ask yourself: Are you even on your own list?Why changing the order matters more than adding yourself to the calendarHow to communicate your priorities without feeling guilty or defensiveThe universe's test when you start prioritizing yourself (and how to pass it)What happens when your kids see you choosing yourself firstConnect with Erin and purchase her new book Hype Women: www.hypewomen.com The Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training Series Stop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence.

    What Happiness Actually Is with Monique Rhodes

    Today I'm sitting down with personal transformation strategist Monique Rhodes for a conversation that might surprise you, but one I think every woman juggling multiple responsibilities needs to hear. We're diving deep into what happiness actually is, and why so many of us who seem to "have it all together" still feel empty inside. Monique's story is incredible. She went from attempting suicide at 19 to now living at a "9 out of 10" happiness level almost every single day, and she's helped thousands of people worldwide transform their relationship with joy and fulfillment. She brings a unique blend of neuroscience and soul-centered wisdom that makes this topic both practical and profound. If you've ever wondered why productivity and achievement aren't filling that deeper need for contentment, this conversation will be eye-opening. In This Episode, I'll Cover: What happiness actually looks like (it's not constant joy)The toxic positivity trap and why it's making things worseA neuroscience-backed method for processing emotions in 90 secondsHow we've been conditioned to earn love through our actionsWhy external circumstances don't determine your happinessConnect with Monique: www.moniquerhodes.comwww.instagram.com/moniquerhodesofficialwww.facebook.com/moniquerhodesofficialwww.youtube.com/@MoniqueRhodesOfficialwww.linkedin.com/in/moniquerhodesofficialThe Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training Series Stop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence.

  5. 3 Toxic Myths Burning Out Women-Owned Businesses

    ٢٣ سبتمبر

    3 Toxic Myths Burning Out Women-Owned Businesses

    What I saw on Shark Tank the other week perfectly illustrated the toxic business myths that are burning women out left and right. A college student with impeccable numbers and a highly profitable business didn't land a deal (not because his business wasn't amazing, but because he wasn't "hustling" enough). He was still in school, which meant he wasn't sacrificing everything, and that somehow made him less worthy of investment. Meanwhile, another couple with terrible numbers got a deal because they were broke and sleeping in garages.  Friends, we need to talk about this. If you're a woman who's also a caregiver, these lies hit differently. When conventional business wisdom tells you that real entrepreneurs sacrifice everything, work 80-hour weeks, and achieve overnight success, it's sending a subtle message: you can't do this. But here's the truth... those are complete myths, and I'm living proof that there's another way to build a successful business without burning yourself out. In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why the "sacrifice everything" mentality is toxic for women entrepreneursThe overnight success lie that's setting unrealistic expectationsThe two-option growth trap that leads to burnout and plateausHow these myths are causing women to close profitable businessesWhy conventional business advice fails women (especially caregivers)Mentioned in the episode: TOP Operations is now open for enrollment!

    If you've ever wondered whether time management systems can work for someone with ADHD, this episode is essential listening.

Meghan breaks down what ADHD actually is (and isn't), why traditional productivity methods often backfire, and shares practical strategies that honor how the ADHD brain actually works. Whether you have ADHD yourself, live with someone who does, or work with neurodivergent colleagues, this conversation will transform how you think about productivity and planning. In This Episode, We Cover: What ADHD really is and how it shows up differently in womenWhy "just time block everything" doesn't work for ADHD brainsThe difference between predictable and unpredictable tasksHow to work with time blindness instead of fighting itThe power of giving yourself permission to get distracted (with limits)When outsourcing might be your best productivity toolConnect with Meghan: www.adhdatwork.co www.instagram.com/adhdatwork The Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training Series Stop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence.

In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why "just in time living" keeps you constantly overbookedThe 4 ways annual planning prevents monthly overwhelmHow to stop everything from feeling urgent and importantWhy breathing room and catch-up time aren't the same thingHow to integrate your real life with your goals (so you stop choosing between them)The Capacity Confidence Method™ – Free 3-Day Training Series Stop guessing what you (or your team) can actually get done and start planning with confidence.
