In today’s episode, I’m diving into the topic of breaking free from the "capable one" trap. I’m sharing my own journey of learning that just because I can do it all doesn’t mean I should. This shift has been transformational in my personal and professional life, and I know it can be for you too. If you're someone who's always been praised for being the one who "does it all," it’s time to redefine what success and productivity mean.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why being the “capable one” can be a trap – I share my personal experience of feeling overwhelmed despite being praised for being able to do everything.

• How hyper-independence is sabotaging your happiness – We dive into the psychology behind why many of us struggle to ask for help and how that leads to burnout.

• 5 actionable tips to start letting go of the “do it all” mindset – From taking an inventory of what you’re carrying to setting boundaries and learning to say no without guilt, I’ve got practical steps to help you release the weight.

• How to rebuild your identity beyond “doing it all” – Discover how to live a life that’s grounded in who you are, not just what you can handle.

• Free Workshop on July 15th – How I went from being the “capable but exhausted” one to the main character of my life.

In today’s episode of The Alchemy Lab, I’m share what it’s like to live two different lives—working a full-time job while building my dream business. If you're juggling your 9-5 job and a side hustle (or trying to grow your business while being a mom), this episode is for you. I’ll share my personal journey, the challenges I face, and how I’m managing to stay aligned with my vision for my business, even while working a full-time job.

I talk about how I sometimes feel like two different people, trying to balance my professional self with my entrepreneurial self, and how I’m trying to live a “softer life” with fewer boxes to check, but still show up in a way that’s aligned with my long-term goals.

In this episode, I cover:

• The emotional and mental challenges of balancing a 9-5 job with running a business

• How I’m navigating the tension between working for someone else and building my own dream

• Why I’m grateful for my full-time job, despite my dream to go full-time in my business

• The struggle of imposter syndrome when you’re building a business while working a 9-5

• How I’m learning to embrace a life with fewer pressures and fewer “boxes” to check, while still showing up for both my job and my business

I’ll also share some actionable tips and mindset shifts I’ve been using to stay focused, aligned with my vision, and motivated while working a 9-5 and building my dream business on the side.

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.

• The trap of hyper-independence: Why trying to do everything alone is a recipe for burnout, and how learning to ask for help has been key in finding freedom and balance.

• 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.

If you’re ready to let go of the productivity rules that are holding you back, step away from burnout, and create a life that feels intentional and fulfilling, this episode is for you!

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.

Let’s break the cycle of burnout and learn to lean on others.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What hyper independence is and where it comes from: I dive into the mindset of trying to do everything on your own and how it’s often tied to our sense of self-worth.

• How hyper independence is sabotaging your success and happiness: Discover how trying to do it all on your own leads to burnout, stagnation, and isolation.

• 4 actionable steps to start asking for help:

  • Recognize that asking for help is a sign of strength.

  • Get clear on where you need help and who you can ask.

  • Communicate your needs clearly and directly.

  • Invest in support systems for both personal and professional growth.

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.

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.

• 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.
