24. The Invisible Workload of Women (And How to Put It Down)

Part 2 of the latest feminine rage conversation! (Check out episode 23 for part 1.) In the last episode, I shared some strategies for how to create better conditions in our lives to allow for more focus, more uninterrupted meaningful work, and have more space for rest. In this episode, we’re adding another layer: the “this is harder for a woman” layer. We’re going to dive into some frustrating patterns in feminine-masculine dynamics around the topics of focus, having enough time for what we want to do, being recognized for our strengths and contributions, and plain old getting things done. But, of course, I’ll also be sharing my solutions for how to make your life easier, how to talk to men about this, and how to recruit them to be on your side. If you’re feeling like you can never get things done, this episode is for you. If you’re feeling the unfairness of being the only one to catch the things that fall through the cracks - and then have no time for what you actually want to do - this episode is DEFINITELY for you. You are doing amazing. AND… you deserve better. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below.

23. Feeling Behind? You're Doing More Than Einstein Ever Did

Let’s get into some righteous feminine rage today! And talk strategy, too: strategy of how to create better conditions in our lives to allow us to do more focused work, more meaningful work, and have more space for rest and for ourselves. In this episode, I talk about why it’s harder to get things done now than it was 100 years ago and earlier. I also share our plan for how we, my husband and I, are taking back our time and our energy, preventing daily decision fatigue, and making sure we have the time for what’s truly important to us. What we tend to forget is that the average modern day middle class person has WAY MORE on their plate than humans ever did. So if you’re feeling behind in life, this episode is for you. This is part 1 of a 2-parter on this topic: check out episode 24 for why this is even harder for women, and what we as women can do to level out the playing field. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below.

22. The One Question, and Practice, to Change Your Life for the Better

Sometimes you get to a point where you feel dissatisfied, frustrated, stressed, and you wonder: how did I GET here? You’re doing everything right, you’re doing great at your job, taking care of your household and family, taking care of your health - and yet you still get to this point when life just feels off. Let’s talk about how to prevent that. How to get back into your flow, and how to make life feel good again. In this episode, we’ll discuss: * How women are conditioned, over many generations, to sacrifice their dreams and desires for others, * Why our “perfect life plans” sometimes lead us to unhappiness, * The pitfall of designing your life around other people’s needs and desires (and getting praised for it as doing something smart), * How to shift that and start designing your life around your OWN needs and desires, * The one question, and practice, that will help you always find a life direction that feels right Let me show you how to steer yourself towards what would feel good, exciting, and aligned. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below.

21. Helping Your Partner Through an Emotionally Challenging Time

When your partner is going through a stressful time - whether at work, with family, with too much to do, etc. - or a sad spell, or an episode of anxiety - it’s SO hard to watch them be in this sucky place and NOT know how to help. We TRY to help: we offer solutions, we want to fix it for them, we try to distract them, but ultimately, we just hope that the next therapy appointment will make everything better. You do NOT have to wait for that. There’s a lot you can do, as the person who loves them and knows them best, to help them feel better and get through the difficult period. In this episode, we talk about: * Why their stress and emotions are not a problem to be solved * What DOES help, immediately and effectively, instead of analyzing emotions, root causes, and trying to fix things * How you can empower your partner, help them remember their resources, and offer a bigger perspective * How to be a great listener - without extra pressure on yourself We all have difficult seasons, and when your love is going through such a time, you have a lot of power to help them ride it out smoothly while maintaining their wellbeing and mental health. And it really doesn’t require much effort on your end at all. —— Join me inside my Substack below for more on topics of self care, self discovery, health & energy, and life direction.

20. 24/7 Self Care: How to Always Have Time For It

I used to believe that self care is something I’ll do closer to retirement. Maybe when my career slows down a bit. Maybe after kids… and honestly, I thought that self care is something only the rich and the privileged had time for. Now I believe that self care is possible 24/7 - when you make it a natural part of your life. In this episode, I share the mental shifts that helped me see self care differently, see myself and my mental health differently, and start honoring my body in a way I always wanted to. It starts with these mental shifts, because self care always starts in the mind. And even if life is hectic, if you barely have time to pause, if everything is spinning around you at insane speeds - I believe you DO have time for self care. Let me tell you why. —— Join me inside my Substack below for more on topics of self care, self discovery, health & energy, and life direction.
