Midweek Momentum: You Don’t Have to Do It All with Alyssa Nolta
No More Mondays
Sometimes doing less means leading more. In this Wednesday’s Double Shot, Alyssa Nolte, host of Taking Back Monday, shares the pivotal belief she let go of — that she had to do everything herself.

info_outlineWhat happens when the business you’ve built starts to feel like the thing that’s holding you back?
This week on No More Mondays, I’m joined by Bonny Morlak—startup coach, founder, and fellow real-talk enthusiast—for a conversation about what it really means to scale a business, stay sane, and stop being the bottleneck in your own success story.
Bonny is a two-time Global Startup Coach of the Year, a 2025 Momentum Award winner (shoutout, Modern Coach fam!), and someone who’s seen the full arc: from launching companies to burning out, to rebuilding from the ground up in a way that actually felt good.
This isn’t your typical hustle culture episode. We’re calling BS on the idea that productivity equals worth, exploring how our cultural wiring feeds burnout, and digging into what it looks like to define success on your terms.
We get into:
-
The difference between growth and grind (and how to spot it)
-
Why “doing it all” is a red flag, not a badge of honor
-
How founder mindset becomes the biggest barrier to scale
-
What to do when the universe goes from subtle tap to full-on slap
-
Why every entrepreneur needs to step out of the echo chamber
You’ll also hear Bonny’s take on calendar audits, naming your North Star, and why the loudest voice in your life should be your own (but in a good way).
Whether you’re scaling a business or just trying to stay human while chasing something big, this one’s a permission slip and a perspective shift.
