    6 rules for walking the fine line between excellence & perfectionism

    Almost 30 hits different. First 30 flies by in a blink, the second half moves even faster. So if you’re not taking risks, if you’re not full sending life… what the hell are we even doing here? In this episode, we’re talking about the fine line every high-achieving woman knows too well: the difference between chasing excellence vs. suffocating under perfectionism. Because let’s be real...  In the gym: it’s not enough to train hard, you feel like you gotta stay shredded 24/7, be the “fit girl,” and never miss a day even when you’re sick.At work: you’re the reliable one, carrying the whole damn team, never dropping the ball, never letting them see you sweat.In relationships: you’re the caretaker, the peacekeeper, the hot/sexy/fun girlfriend… but god forbid you ever needanything yourself.It’s exhausting. And it’s why so many women are grinding themselves into the ground. Here’s the truth: Excellence feels good. Perfectionism feels like hell. In this episode I break down: 🔥 The root causes of why women fall into perfectionism. 🔥 The brutal downside of perfectionism.. (procrastination, self-sabotage, comparison city) 🔥 The 6 rules I live by that keep me chasing excellence without losing my freaking mind If you’ve ever felt like no matter how hard you push, you’re still not “enough,” this one’s for you.

    There is no such thing as being ‘too busy’ for your health

    We live in a world where people treat health like an optional hobby. Work deadlines, family drama, social outings, vacations, “self-care nights” with wine and Netflix.. everything else takes the front seat. But here’s the truth: none of that sh*t matters if you don’t have your health. If you feel like crap, can’t move, and can’t enjoy your life.. what are you really prioritizing? You can’t show up as the best version of yourself for your family, your career, your relationships, or your goals when your health is at the bottom of the list. In this episode, I break down: Why “too busy” is just code for misplaced priorities.How to weave health into every area of life (family, friends, work, social outings, vacations).Why your comfort and self-care routines aren’t truly self-care if they neglect your body.The real value shifts that need to happen: from chasing money, trophies, and aesthetics → to prioritizing health, connection, growth, and freedom.How identity work is at the root of changing what you value and why it’s the only way to sustain lasting health habits.This isn’t about adding more to your plate.. it’s about making the choice that health comes first, so everything else becomes easier. Because at the end of the day… luxury, cars, mansions, vacations.. they don’t mean sh*t if you feel like trash inside your own body.

    I have face wrinkles AND I'm happy

    Everybody’s scared of being stuck in a body they hate in two years. But the bigger fear? Getting the “dream body”… and realizing you still feel like nothing’s changed. That’s the trap most women fall into.. thinking surgery, abs, a smaller waist, or a bigger ass will flip the switch on their happiness. But external upgrades are just temporary dopamine. If the wiring inside still screams “I’m not enough,” nothing you achieve will ever stick. In this episode I’m breaking down: Why fixing your body doesn’t fix your self-hate.The real prison (hint: it’s your thoughts, not your weight).Why aging makes this game even more dangerous if your worth = your looks.The mindset shift that turns your body into a teammate instead of a project.The real freedom: same body, different energy — walking into any room confident, eating without fear, feeling hot no matter what.If you’re not living the life or happiness you know you’re capable of — what are you gonna do? Keep folding to your bitch voice, or finally put up a fight?

    How to overcome anxiety

    Most people are miserable not because life is hard, but because they’re fighting against what life is: uncertain. We’ve been wired to believe that if we can just plan enough, control enough, or avoid enough, we’ll finally feel safe. But the truth? That gap between craving control and not having it is exactly where anxiety breeds. In this episode, we unpack: The three ways anxiety shows up when we reject uncertainty:The Overthinking Loop (mental control).Control through food, body, routines, or people.Avoidance (running from uncertainty).Why your brain is addicted to “what if” loops and why they never work.How being free-spirited is simply shifting the story: uncertainty isn’t danger.. it’s possibility.Everyday examples of balancing free-spirit flow with anchor points (values, structure, safety nets).Action steps to retrain your brain and nervous system to trust uncertainty: awareness, nervous system regulation, small doses of exposure, anchoring in values, and building self-trust.You’ll never eliminate uncertainty. But you can rewire your system to see it as adventure instead of threat. Life is meant to be an art form. A blank canvas.

    Boob job explant, Western vs Eastern medicine & bleeding with the full moon?! w/ Jess Galinsky

    In this episode I’m joined by my sweet friend Jess, a holistic hormone coach with the cutest accent and one of the biggest hearts. We met two years ago in a mastermind, and when I saw her talking about her journey of getting her implants removed, I knew I had to bring her on. Around here we’re all about embracing our bodies, and Jess has such a powerful story about moving from burnout and societal pressure into nervous system regulation and true internal health. In this conversation we get into: The concept of bioindividuality and how Western vs. Eastern approaches differRoot causes most women miss when chasing symptomsHow cycle syncing works and why it’s a game changerJess’s journey from disconnection, implants, and burnout → to being rooted, regulated, and powerfulWhy women’s health struggles are skyrocketingHow brainwashing + societal pressure keep women stuckInternal vs external health (and why external “fixes” never work long-term)Nervous system regulation explained in simple, relatable termsFighting back against a system designed to make women feel “not enough”Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and reconnect — even if you can’t do the full “eat, pray, love” thingThis one is juicy, raw, and so needed. Jess’s story is proof that your body will always try to bring you home... if you’re willing to listen. Follow us on Instagram: @makesumgains @holistichormone.coach

    Put an end to the grind, compare, crash out cycle

    CO Retreat: https://www.makesumgains.com/hot-girl-reset Most high-achieving women are unknowingly stuck in a cycle.. swinging from toxic masculine grind to toxic feminine avoidance, and back again. In this episode, we rip apart the ego’s survival game: why it’s obsessed with proving itself, why it thrives on comparison, and how it confuses attention with love. I share my own journey from being praised for doing, hiding behind the “tough” identity, and running on empty… to actually letting myself slow down, embrace beauty, and live from self-trust. We’ll break down the difference between healthy vs. toxic masculine and feminine energy, why hustle culture keeps you trapped, and the exact shifts to anchor into so you can live from intuition and authenticity without losing your drive. This one’s for the women ready to stop performing for worthiness and start living like they already are enough. Instagram:  @makesumgains
