Most high achieving women are busy building businesses, advancing their careers, raising families, and creating lives that look successful from the outside. Yet somewhere along the way, a question may begin to surface: Is this the life I truly want, or have I simply become good at meeting everyone else’s expectations? In this episode, I explore what it means to build a purpose driven life, why so many driven women feel unfulfilled despite doing everything they thought they should, and how to start making choices that reflect what matters most to them. I also talk about the difference between...

Most high achieving women do not struggle with productivity. They struggle with boundaries. And the inability to say no, protect their time, and guard their energy is quietly costing them everything they have been working so hard to build. In this episode I talk about why high achieving women struggle so deeply with setting boundaries, where that conditioning comes from, and what it is actually costing them in their health, their relationships, their peace, and their purpose. I get honest about why saying no is not selfish but strategic, why boundaries do not push people away but actually...

Your morning sets the tone for everything that follows. Yet for many high achieving women, the morning is already gone before the day has really begun, swallowed up by notifications, other people’s urgency, and a to do list that was never built around what matters most. In this episode, I talk about why your morning routine can be one of the most powerful tools for creating a better day, and how building a routine that is intentional, realistic, and aligned with your goals can change the way your day feels and what you are able to accomplish. I walk through the science behind morning habits,...

Life happens to all of us. Routines fall apart, content stops, goals get put on hold, and before you know it, weeks have turned into months. Then the shame of being away makes coming back feel harder than it should. In this episode, I get honest about what it really feels like to fall off track and why coming back does not have to be perfect. I talk about the three lies that keep high achieving women stuck in the shame of falling behind, and the mindset shifts that make starting again feel possible. I also share practical steps to help you rebuild momentum, from choosing one thing to focus on,...

Hustle culture has sold us a lie. The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the win. Pull the all-nighter, push through the exhaustion, and give everything you have all the time. But here is what that approach is actually producing for most high-achieving women. Burnout, resentment, and a body and mind that eventually stops functioning altogether. In this episode, I talk about why consistency will always beat sacrifice in the long run, how small steady daily actions compound into results that no all-nighter could ever produce, and why the most successful women are not the ones who work the hardest...

Most high achieving women are waiting for the perfect moment to start, waiting for life to feel calmer, the timing to feel right, or the idea to feel big enough to matter. What if the small thing you have been holding onto is exactly what needs to be planted now? In this episode, I talk about why small beginnings are worth celebrating and why the imperfect action you take today can take you further than the perfect plan you keep waiting to start. I also unpack the three beliefs that keep ambitious women from planting their seeds, the feeling that it is not good enough, the fear that it is too...

There comes a point when adding more to your plate stops helping you move forward. You can be working hard, chasing opportunities, and trying to keep everything going, yet still feel like you are running out of room to grow. For many high achieving women, the answer is not always doing more. Sometimes, it is deciding what needs to go. In this episode, I talk about what I call the overgrown syndrome, the belief that more is always better, and how holding onto too many commitments, ideas, and responsibilities can leave little room for the things that actually matter. I also get honest about the...

Growth rarely announces itself while it is happening. It builds quietly, one small action at a time, and the women who understand this are often the ones who look back and realise just how far they have come. In this episode, I talk about why daily habits can multiply your growth, why small consistent actions often take you further than big bursts of effort, and the three traps that can quietly derail your momentum. I also share four practical steps to help you build habits that stick, from choosing the habits that matter and attaching them to routines you already have, to celebrating small...

Feeling overwhelmed is not always about having too much to do. Sometimes, it comes from doing too much without being clear on why any of it matters. In this episode, I talk about why so many high achieving women get caught in a cycle of constant busyness without making real progress, and why the answer is not always a better schedule or a longer to do list, but a clearer sense of purpose. When you know your why, decisions become easier, distractions become clearer, and focused action feels more natural. I walk through four practical steps to help you uncover your why and use it to guide how...
info_outlineOn this episode of the LollieTasking Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tomi Atunrase, a doctor of physical therapy, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple clinics who is building impact across healthcare and community education.
Dr. Tomi shares her journey from working in a hospital system where growth felt limited to stepping into entrepreneurship and building her own practice. She opens up about the moments of doubt, the decisions that required courage, and how taking small steps led to bigger opportunities over time.
Together, we explore what it really takes to move from idea to execution, including why waiting for the perfect plan can keep you stuck, how starting small creates room for growth, and the importance of taking action even when fear is present.
We also talk about the realities of building a business, from financial uncertainty to leadership challenges, and why having the right support system, whether through family, community, or outsourcing, is essential for sustainability and long term success.
Dr. Tomi also shares how she built The Health Hub with Dr. T, a platform designed to connect people with trusted experts, and why creating spaces for accurate information and community support is more important than ever.
