    Why High Performers Lose Clarity First (It's Not What You Think)

    You can be incredibly clear and still have no idea where you're actually going. In this episode, I break down why high performers lose clarity first - and it's not because they're failing, it's because they're succeeding without pause. When you're capable, trusted and productive, speed creates the illusion of certainty and you stop questioning your direction. I share a personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life and the quiet moment that made me realize I had been reacting instead of choosing. If you've ever felt accomplished but disconnected, productive but exhausted, this episode will help you understand why clarity fades in momentum - and how to get it back.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why clarity loss in high performers doesn't look like confusion - it looks like productivity How speed pushes you into execution mode without reflection Why "I don't have time to think" is a capacity issue, not a discipline problem The subtle signs you're leading reactively instead of intentionally Why clarity isn't a one-time breakthrough but an ongoing practice that requires space and structure   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – The surprising reason high performers lose clarity 01:00 – Why success (not failure) is often the real trigger 02:00 – My post-divorce season: rebuilding fast, functioning at a high level 03:00 – The Portland lighthouse moment that changed everything 04:00 – Busy, capable, and not actually choosing 05:00 – Adrenaline, execution mode, and the illusion of control 06:00 – Why high performers become the default decision-makers 07:00 – "I don't have time to think" - what that really means 08:00 – How clarity quietly erodes and what grounded leadership actually requires 09:00 – How to take the next step and reclaim your clarity   NEXT STEP OPTIONS: ✔️ Preorder my Book: http://www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculpritbook ✔️ Take the Overwhelm Culprit Quiz: www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculprit ✔️ Connect with Me on Social: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iamcorrielo Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/iamcorrielo Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/iamcorrielo LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/iamcorrielo YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/iamcorrielo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamcorrielo Substack: https://iamcorrielo.substack.com/ ✔️ Visit my Website: www.corrielo.com ✔️ Book me to Speak: www.corrielo.com/speaking ✔️ Enroll in Coaching: www.corrielo.com/coaching   SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE: Don't miss future episodes where we dive deeper into topics like leadership, personal growth, and turning challenges into opportunities.

    Your Mental Load Is Sabotaging Your Progress (Not Your Discipline)

    If you've been beating yourself up for being inconsistent - even though you know you're more than capable - it's time for a reframe. In this episode, I'm sharing why your problem isn't discipline or motivation. It's your mental load. This invisible weight you carry - the planning, anticipating, emotional management, "I'll just do it myself" mode - is quietly draining your energy and sabotaging your progress behind the scenes. I'm breaking down the 3 types of mental load and showing you exactly how to reduce them so you can reclaim your bandwidth, move more consistently toward your goals and stop blaming yourself for something that's not even your fault. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO: Why inconsistency isn't a motivation or discipline problem - it's neurobiological overload The three layers of mental load: task, anticipation, and emotional How decision fatigue and emotional labor sabotage high-achieving women The truth about cognitive bandwidth and why it's not your fault you're exhausted Four practical ways to reduce your mental load and make consistency easier TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – It's not discipline - it's your mental load 01:00 – What the mental load really is (and what it's not) 02:00 – Why high achievers carry double the burden 03:00 – The 3 types of mental load: task, anticipation and emotional 04:00 – Step 1: Offload your brain like a high performer 04:30 – Step 2: Delegate emotional and logistical labor 05:00 – Step 3: Remove friction instead of trying harder 05:30 – Step 4: Build a "default week" for your lowest-capacity days 06:00 – Culprit #5 revealed: Inconsistency from overload, not laziness NEXT STEP OPTIONS: ✔️ Preorder My Upcoming Book: http://www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculpritbook ✔️ Take the Overwhelm Culprit Quiz: www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculprit ✔️ Connect with Me on Social: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iamcorrielo Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/iamcorrielo Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/iamcorrielo LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/iamcorrielo YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/iamcorrielo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamcorrielo ✔️ Visit my Website: www.corrielo.com ✔️ Book me to Speak: www.corrielo.com/speaking ✔️ Enroll in Coaching: www.corrielo.com/coaching SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE: Don't miss future episodes where we dive deeper into topics like leadership, personal growth, and turning challenges into opportunities.

    Why You Feel Stuck (Even When Nothing Is Wrong)

    Have you ever looked at your life on paper - your job, home, relationships, responsibilities and thought, "Why do I still feel off?" This isn't burnout, and it isn't failure. It's misalignment. In this episode, I'm diving deep into the quiet but powerful feeling that so many high achievers experience: feeling stuck, even when nothing is technically wrong. I'll walk you through the subtle signs that your life may no longer match who you're becoming, and share the exact steps you can take to get back into alignment - without burning your life to the ground. This is the conversation I wish I had years ago when I was commuting 20 hours a week and wondering if "this" was all there was. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. And if you've been feeling that weird, unshakeable "something's not right" feeling… this one's for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why "feeling stuck" doesn't mean anything is wrong with you - it means your clarity is evolving The 5 hidden signs of misalignment that most high performers ignore A simple exercise to reconnect with your younger, wiser, more intuitive self 3 practical steps to start realigning with your purpose - no life overhaul required How your clarity impacts your leadership, decision making, and energy TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 | When life looks good on paper - but something still feels off 01:00 | My story: the "weird feeling" I ignored for way too long 02:00 | Why high achievers get stuck in lives that look "fine" 03:00 | The #1 reason you feel stuck: misalignment, not failure 04:00 | The 5 signs you're out of alignment and heading for stuckness 05:30 | The inner child exercise that always brings clarity 06:00 | 3 questions to ask when you feel off and want to realign 07:00 | You don't need a life overhaul - just a micro action 07:30 | The link between clarity and grounded leadership 08:00 | Final thoughts: this isn't failure - it's evolution NEXT STEP OPTIONS: ✔️ Take the Overwhelm Culprit Quiz: http://www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculprit ✔️ Pre-order my Book: http://www.corrielo.com/overwhelmculpritbook ✔️ Connect with Me on Social: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iamcorrielo Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/iamcorrielo Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/iamcorrielo LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/iamcorrielo YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/iamcorrielo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamcorrielo ✔️ Visit my Website: www.corrielo.com ✔️ Book me to Speak: www.corrielo.com/speaking ✔️ Enroll in Coaching: www.corrielo.com/coaching
