    Pep Talk: “Your 9-to-5 isn’t holding you back”

    Dear Boss Babe... if you are thinking I should be further along by now… This episode is your reminder that hustling yourself into the ground is not the path — intention is. If you’ve been battling burnout, second-guessing your pace, or comparing your journey to someone who isn’t living your reality… this one’s for you. In today’s pep talk, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a dream while holding down a 9–5 — the identity shifts, the emotional weight, and the discipline it takes to grow without slipping into hustle culture or burning yourself out. You’ll walk away feeling grounded, re-centered, and reminded of what your spirit already knows: You are not behind. You are building with intention, not urgency. Why your pace does not determine your potential How high achievers accidentally slip into burnout loops Using your 9–5 as leverage instead of letting it drain you The difference between building with pressure vs purpose The self-care habits that keep you steady through the climb The mindset reframe that every multi-hyphenate founder needs ✨ If you loved this pep talk, go listen to the full episode (#128) where I break down the actual structure, boundaries, and energy management skills that help you grow both sides of your life without crumbling under the pressure. ✨ Come connect with me on Instagram: @theerickanicole / @bossbabereset ✨ Podcast produced by: Your Girl Media Learn more about your ad choices.

    Pep Talk: "You don’t have to be everything for everyone”

    Dear Boss Babe.. If you’ve been carrying everyone else’s world on your back while quietly ignoring your own needs… baby, this episode is your wake-up call. This is your reminder that being a high achiever does not mean running yourself into burnout, abandoning your boundaries, or shrinking your needs to keep the peace. This is your moment to breathe, reset, and learn how to finally break free from people pleasing. In today’s pep talk, I’m sitting down with the woman who says yes even when she’s exhausted… the woman who holds space for everyone but herself… the woman who has mistaken “being strong” for “never stopping.” Inside this bite-sized but powerful episode, we unpack: Why high achievers slip so easily into people pleasing mode The hidden fears that make you say yes when your body is screaming no How people pleasing slowly leads to emotional burnout The truth about abandoning yourself in the name of “being dependable” The simple, repeatable steps to start honoring your boundaries today How to choose self-care without guilt, shame, or second-guessing What it looks like to become the version of you who actually includes yourself in your own life This isn’t just motivation — it’s a reset button. A reminder that your peace, your energy, and your capacity matter just as much as anyone else’s. ✨ Not every request deserves your yes. ✨ Being reliable should not cost you your well-being. ✨ The discomfort of saying no is not guilt — it’s growth. ✨ You are allowed to evolve out of who you were trained to be. ✨ Every boundary you hold is a step toward the woman you’re becoming. You need to hear this week’s full episode, where we go even deeper into the psychology of people pleasing, how it drains your purpose, and the roadmap to reclaiming your voice, your calendar, and your energy.

    126: Why So Many High Achievers Feel Lost in Their 20s and 30s (And How to Find Yourself Again)

    Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “I did everything I was supposed to do. I hustled. I achieved. I built the life I wanted… so why do I feel so disconnected from myself?” If that hit a little too close, this episode is the one your soul’s been waiting for. Because today, we’re unpacking the silent identity crisis that so many high-achieving women face when hustle culture, adulthood, partnership, womanhood, and purpose all collide at the same time. And if you’ve been feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or unsure of who you are outside of the roles you fill-girl, you are not alone. Today we into the identity shifts that happen when your life evolves faster than your sense of self can keep up. Using insights sparked by Ayesha Curry’s recent conversation about losing herself in marriage and motherhood. We break down: Why high achievers struggle silently with identity loss How hustle culture and expectation force women into roles they never truly chose Why so many women feel guilty for wanting individuality outside of marriage or motherhood The emotional conflict between gratitude, ambition, and burnout The truth about evolving in your late 20s + early 30s How to rebuild yourself after transitions like marriage, motherhood, or career shifts Practical self-care tools to reconnect with the woman you’re becoming Why your identity isn’t disappearing—it’s EVOLVING This episode is the reminder every high-achieving woman needs:Evolution isn’t betrayal. It’s becoming. Low-key burnt out Stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming Guilty for wanting more than the roles you play Disconnected from your own dreams and identity Overwhelmed by being “the strong one,” “the dependable one,” “the glue” Then this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Identity is not fixed—it's fluid. Women are conditioned to add roles, not identities. High achievers often shrink to avoid disappointing others. Gratitude and desire can coexist. Hustle culture adds pressure—but self-care is the antidote. You’re allowed to outgrow older versions of yourself. Rebuilding yourself requires quiet, intention, and honesty. Try these if you’re navigating an identity shift: Journal Prompts: “What part of me has been asking for attention?” “What would I choose if guilt wasn’t in the room?” “What version of me am I ready to return to?” This episode is sponsored by Huel — the go-to fuel source for the ambitious girlies who want to eat well, stay energized, and NOT burn out.

    Pep Talk: “ That Peace You're Craving is Not On Your Feed”

    Dear boss babe... if you’ve been running on fumes, convincing yourself that one more post, one more story, one more reel will finally “get you ahead”… this one’s for you. Because what if slowing down is the secret to your next big level? Today I am getting real about burnout, hustle culture, and the pressure to “show up” online 24/7. After taking a two-month social media break, she’s sharing what really happens when you log off — and how rest isn’t rebellion, it’s a strategy. You’ll hear her reflect on the fear of losing momentum, the courage it takes to disconnect, and the beautiful clarity that comes when you stop performing and start being present again. This episode is a love letter to every boss babe who’s ever felt like the algorithm was running her life. If you’ve been craving peace, presence, and purpose beyond the screen — this one’s your reminder to take your power (and your phone) off airplane mode. 💡 You’ll Learn: Why taking a social media break doesn’t make you irrelevant How hustle culture steals your creativity and peace The difference between being seen and being fulfilled Practical ways to create digital boundaries that protect your energy What really happens when you rest — and why your next-level self needs it My Challenge for You: Take one small digital boundary this week: → No social media before 10 AM → Delete one app for the weekend → Or spend one hour a day fully offline — no notifications, no noise. Because every time you choose presence over performance, you remind yourself: you run your life, not the algorithm. If you needed permission to log off, this is it.

    125: The Self Care Reset You’ve Been Avoiding: Do You Need a Social Media Break?

    Babe, maybe your mind isn’t tired and burnt outbecause you’re doing too much — but because you’re consuming too much. In this episode of Boss Babe Reset, I’m talking all about burnout, hustle culture, and the courage it takes to pause — not because you’ve fallen behind, but because you’re finally ready to catch up to yourself. What really causes burnout (spoiler: it’s not just overworking — it’s overstimulation) How to know when it’s time for a self care reset or social media break The science behind stillness and why your brain craves it Why silence is the ultimate strategy in a hustle culture that glorifies exhaustion A step-by-step plan to take a strategic social media break — without losing momentum You know I’m all about protecting your peace and your energy — and that includes how you fuel your body. Because when you’re trying to avoid burnout, nourishing your body is just as important as logging off your phone. You don’t lose momentum by resting — you lose it by burning out. The algorithm isn’t your boss — you are. Social media is a tool, not your identity. Stillness is the new self care — and silence is the strategy. If this episode reminded you to slow down and breathe, share it with your favorite boss babe who might be running on empty. 👉 Follow me on Instagram @theerickanicole / @bossbabereset for more self care inspo and behind-the-scenes of my journey building Silkenn — skincare for your soul and your glow.
