120. 5 Productivity Rules I Had to Burn to Feel Free In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the productivity rules that I had to burn in order to truly feel free and build a life that aligns with my values. I’m sharing my personal journey of how I moved away from hustle culture and redefined what success and productivity really mean for me. As a former productivity and time management coach, I spent years caught in the trap of doing more and more, believing that the only way to succeed was to hustle nonstop. But let me tell you — that mindset led me to burnout, and I knew something had to change. So today, I’m sharing the 5 productivity rules I had to let go of, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and how I’m now creating a life and business that actually feels good. 🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn: Why busyness isn’t the same as productivity: How I learned that being constantly busy wasn’t helping me achieve my goals, and why I had to let go of the belief that success was tied to doing everything.

Breaking free from hustle culture: Why I had to let go of the idea that hustling 24/7 equals success, and how I started prioritizing rest and working smarter, not harder. Letting go of perfectionism: How I learned to embrace imperfection and take action even when things weren’t perfect, which ultimately allowed me to make real progress in my life and business.

118. How to Ask for Help and Why You Suck at It Welcome back to another episode of The Alchemy Lab! In today’s episode, I’m tackling a topic that I know a lot of us can relate to — hyper independence and why asking for help is so hard. If you’re the type of person who feels like you have to do it all alone, even when you're drowning in tasks, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my personal struggle with hyper independence and how it was quietly sabotaging my success, happiness, and health.

How to practice vulnerability and embrace support: Letting go of the belief that asking for help makes you weak, and how to start practicing vulnerability to deepen connections with others.

117. What if Success Didn’t Require Self-Sacrifice? 04/22/2025

117. What if Success Didn’t Require Self-Sacrifice? Welcome back to The Alchemy Lab, formerly known as From Overwhelmed to Under Control! In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into a topic that has been on my mind for quite a while — why success doesn’t have to require self-sacrifice. As women, especially as moms juggling all the things, we’re often taught that to be “successful” we have to do everything ourselves. But what if we could redefine success without the burnout? In this episode, I’m going to share why it’s time to start embracing self-compassion, setting boundaries, and focusing on our own definition of success — because real strength comes from knowing when to ask for help and when to rest. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why doing it all isn’t the flex you think it is — I share my own experience of trying to solo-parent, run my business, and manage everything while feeling like I was “supposed” to be strong and self-sufficient. How self-sacrifice leads to burnout — We talk about the risks of tying your worth to how much you do and why it can leave you exhausted, unfulfilled, and questioning your purpose. 4 actionable tips to embrace self-compassion and shift your definition of success: Set boundaries: Learn to say no and protect your time and energy. Prioritize yourself: Make time for what you need, guilt-free. Get comfortable with rest: Rest is not a luxury; it’s essential. Align your actions with your values: Ensure what you’re doing supports the life you want. How to start living your own version of success — It’s time to stop living by someone else’s standards and start designing a life that aligns with what truly matters to you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling too much and not getting anywhere, this episode is your permission slip to take a step back, redefine success, and embrace your main character energy.

116. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work (and How to Stop) Welcome to the newly rebranded Alchemy Lab! In today’s episode, we dive deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us – why doing it all isn't the flex we think it is. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to manage everything perfectly, juggle multiple responsibilities, and still feel like you're not doing enough, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my personal journey of realizing that strength isn’t about handling everything alone, and how redefining strength and success can completely change how we show up in the world. In this episode, you’ll learn: Redefining Strength: Strength isn’t about doing everything by yourself – it’s about knowing when to ask for help, rest, and embracing vulnerability. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work: Society often praises over-functioning, self-sacrifice, and "doing it all." I share how this belief led to burnout and what it took to shift that mindset. Practical Tips to Let Go of the "Do-It-All" Mindset: You’ll get actionable advice on how to embrace rest, delegate, and allow yourself to be imperfect. Redefining Success: It's time to reframe success on your terms – focus on what really matters to you and stop measuring your worth by how much you do.

115. Redefining Strong: Why Doing It All Isn’t the Flex You Think It Is 04/04/2025

115. Redefining Strong: Why Doing It All Isn’t the Flex You Think It Is In this episode, I’m getting real about the struggle of being the “strong one” and why doing everything on your own isn’t the true flex. From solo parenting to managing a business and a full life, I share my personal journey of learning that real strength comes from knowing when to ask for help, embrace rest, and let go of perfection. Key Takeaways: Redefining Strength: I talk about how strength isn’t about doing everything alone, but about knowing when to set boundaries, ask for help, and be vulnerable. The Struggle is Real: I share my experience of feeling guilty asking for help while caring for my son while my husband was away for 4-months, even though I had an amazing support system. Practical Tips for Letting Go of the “Do-It-All” Mindset: Schedule rest first – rest is essential, not earned. Delegate one thing this week and ask for help, from anyone! Practice saying “I’m not okay, but I will be,” embracing vulnerability. Let something be imperfect – no need to be Pinterest-perfect. Don’t go through it alone – phone a friend and share the struggle. This episode will speak to you if you're tired of burning the candle at both ends. If you're ready to let go of the "do-it-all" mentality and redefine strength, this episode is for you.
