The Perfectionism Trap: Why Women Burn Out Trying to “Do It All”

What if the reason you keep burning out… isn’t laziness, but perfectionism? In today’s episode, I sit down with Monica Packer — habits & identity coach, host of the About Progress podcast, and author of Sticky Habits — for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the It Girl Diary Podcast. This episode felt less like an interview and more like a deep exhale for every girl who feels like she has to earn her worth through productivity. ✨ Monica’s book: Sticky Habits [https://www.aboutprogress.com/stickyhabits] ✨ Listen to her podcast: About Progress [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/about-progress/id1173416233] With love & caffeine, Nisha If you struggle with overthinking, open loops, and not being able to switch off your brain.

You’re Not Tired — You’re Addicted to Hustling

You don’t just work hard… you’re addicted to working hard. And the scary part? Rest feels more uncomfortable than the hustle. In this episode, I talk about something I’ve been noticing in myself — and I know so many of you will relate to this. Finishing your to-do list but still feeling restless. Feeling guilty when things flow easily. Adding unnecessary work just to feel productive. Not knowing how to stop. This isn’t about doing less or losing ambition. This is about learning how to create success without burning your nervous system. 🧠 My Brain Dump + Productivity Notion System If you struggle with overthinking, open loops, and not being able to switch off your brain.
