    46. with having MORE TIME | If you had 'more time' what would you use it for?

    If you could spend fewer hours working, what would you do with that extra time? In this episode, we're exploring the idea of optimizing our lives—not just for efficiency but for meaning. From balancing work and downtime to rediscovering the joy of doing things with our hands (hello, wrapping Christmas presents!), we’re diving deep into the spaces we create when we intentionally shift our energy. I’m sharing my own struggles with filling free time, how I’ve let streaming and distractions take over, and why I’m focusing on being present in 2025. Spoiler: My new word for the year is play. Let’s reimagine how we use our time and reflect on what truly lights us up. Connect with Teresa @teresaajean | @becomingobsessedpod

    45. with GIRLHOOD | Living a Playful Pressure-Free Life and Approaching Business as a Playground

    Access my FREE 'Living OBSESSED' email mini-series In this episode of Becoming Obsessed, Teresa Stastny dives deep into the magic of girlhood—not just as a stage of life, but as a mindset that celebrates lightheartedness, curiosity, and play. Reflecting on her journey of learning to take the pressure off and live more playfully, Teresa invites you to imagine life as a playground where mistakes are just “oops, girl” moments and every step forward is made with wonder. From makeshift charcuterie dinners to a renewed sense of creativity, Teresa shares how embracing her inner child has transformed the way she approaches challenges, relationships, and work. She explores the power of feminine energy—not tied to gender but to receiving, resting, and imagining possibilities—and how it contrasts with the controlling, action-oriented mindset we often default to. You’ll hear about how this playful perspective has been a game-changer in her personal life and work, and why “playing” doesn’t mean you’re not taking life seriously—it means you’re creating it with love, joy, and authenticity.
