    How to Turn One Day Into Three (Spoiler: You Can't)

    Ever scroll through social media and feel like you're already behind before 8 AM because some successful "guru" claims they've already crushed half a day's work? Well, I'm about to pull back the curtain on one of these claims.  There's a specific productivity claim making the rounds from speaker Ed Mylett that he swears by: fitting three full days into one 24-hour period. Sounds too good to be true? That's because it is. Today I'm breaking down why this approach (and others like it) might actually be working against you, and what you should focus on instead. In This Episode, I'll Cover: Why Ed Mylett's "three days in one" approach isn't realistic for most womenThe real math behind popular "time manipulation" claimsWhy certain productivity hacks ignore how women's bodies actually workWhat to do when you feel behind because of social media productivity pressureA better approach to managing your time and energy________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

I’m joined by Dr. Anne Welsh, a therapist and executive coach who works with working mothers navigating the identity shift that happens when your ambition meets the reality of motherhood.

This conversation is packed with validation, practical insight, and one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard for how to clean out all the “shoulds” and expectations we carry as women and moms. In This Episode, We Talk About: What the ambition paradox is and why so many mothers fall into itThe invisible identity shift that happens when you become a momWhy chasing “success” can sometimes pull you further from what mattersHow to figure out what’s truly yours and what’s been put on youWhat can shift when you start living from a place of alignment, not fearConnect with Dr. Anne Welsh: Website: drannewelsh.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/drannewelshLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drannewelsh ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

    If summer has ever left you feeling torn between being the “fun mom” and the “productive mom,” you are not alone.

This simple system gives you a way to be fully present with your family without letting your priorities slip through the cracks.

    Planning for Retirement Isn’t Just About the Money with Monique Rhodes

    When we think about retirement, most of the conversation centers around finances. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Monique Rhodes to talk about the part of retirement planning no one’s really talking about...the emotional and mental transition. Monique shares why so many women hit retirement age and find themselves feeling lost, disconnected, or even invisible, despite doing everything they were “supposed” to. Together, we unpack the loss of structure, identity, and purpose that can come when careers end and roles shift and how to intentionally plan for what comes next. Whether retirement is around the corner or years away, this conversation is filled with perspective-shifting insight and gentle encouragement to start thinking about the whole picture—your time, your joy, your relationships, and your purpose. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why financial planning isn’t enough to feel fulfilled in retirementThe identity shift that can leave women feeling untetheredThe emotional toll of losing everyday social connectionsHow to start building a meaningful post-retirement life before you get thereConnect with Monique: www.facebook.com/moniquerhodesofficialwww.instagram.com/moniquerhodesofficialFree Training on How to Design a Retirement Rich in Purpose, Connection & Happiness: https://theretirementroadmapacademy.com ________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?

    Working motherhood is one of the greatest juggling acts there is—and if you’re feeling like one dropped ball could send everything crashing down, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Armstrong, seasoned marketing executive, author, and mom, to talk about what it actually looks like to navigate a full-time career while raising kids—and how to do it in a way that’s sustainable, intentional, and aligned with what matters most.

In This Episode, We Talk About: Why communicating your boundaries is just as important as setting themHow to manage “Grace time” (and what that really means)What transference of hours looks like and how it supports working momsWhy removing your laptop and phone from view can shift your presence at homeHow small intentional shifts add up to feeling more in controlGrab Sarah's book, The Art of the Juggling Act, at https://shorturl.at/MRc33 Connect with Sarah www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-madden-armstrongwww.thejugglingact.com________________________________ 💻 Free Training Overwhelmed?
