26. Reclaiming Lost Parts of Yourself

When you get so stuck in the same routine that every day starts looking the same, slowly, over time, it starts to drain you. It starts to feel like you’re just a “doing machine” getting through the day’s to-do list. And despite being busy, despite all of it being important things, you start feeling empty. Have you been there? And if so, have you heard the advice: switch up your routine? Take a different route home, go to a new cafe, pick up a new book? It’s not bad advice… but it’s missing the core of the problem. In this episode, let’s get to the core. Let’s talk about how to bring energy and color back into your life. How to feel excited about your life again. How to bring back a sense of meaning and significance to your days. But most importantly, let’s talk about bringing lost pieces of you back to yourself. —— 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. —— Join the Insiders’ Newsletter: www.yekaterinabenson.com/ [www.yekaterinabenson.com/] Book an Energetic Reset call: calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call [calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call] —— Life changes, self care, balance, mindfulness, ambitious, driven, burnout, emotional healing, busy, overwhelm, stress relief

25. How to Feel Calmer and More Grounded When Nothing Seems To Be Going Right

When you’re going through a particularly challenging period of life, and NOTHING seems to be going well, here’s a simple and quick practice to get you feeling better immediately, and see things in a new light. Before we problem solve our life, we need to raise our emotional baseline. This is the Energy-First Approach. And today, we’ll talk about the Anchoring practice: how to find balance and feel more grounded when it feels like everything is conspiring against you. In this episode, I explain: * Why you can’t always trust your emotions (but why it’s so important to pay attention to them) * How to raise your daily emotional baseline * How thoughts that we’re not even aware of define our reality * How to feel better about your life without making any big changes on the outside Things are never as bad as they seem. And… you’re doing better than you realize. —— 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. —— Join the Insiders’ Newsletter: www.yekaterinabenson.com/ [www.yekaterinabenson.com/] Book an Energetic Reset call: calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call [calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call] —— Life changes, self care, balance, mindfulness, ambitious, driven, burnout, emotional healing, busy, overwhelm, stress relief

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.
