Hey babes! This episode is a little different—and honestly, a little vulnerable. I'm pulling back the curtain on a big decision I've made for this summer: I'm taking a semi-sabbatical.
Not because I'm burned out. Not because I don't love my business. And definitely not because I'm quitting coaching. In fact, this whole process has made one thing crystal clear: I absolutely LOVE coaching women and helping them lose weight for the last time.
But somewhere along the way, I realized that even though I left corporate America to create more freedom, I had slowly become an employee in my own business. My schedule wasn't changing for summer. My priorities weren't changing for summer. And that's when I knew something needed to shift.
In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm slowing down, what I'm learning about ambition, motherhood, self-care, and what it really means to create a life you actually want to live. We talk about overworking, people-pleasing, parenting, entrepreneurship, family systems, and how to stop building a life you need a vacation from.
If you've been feeling stretched too thin, pulled in a million directions, or wondering what YOU actually want, this conversation is for you.
Listen in to hear:
- Why I'm taking a semi-sabbatical this summer
- The wake-up call that made me realize my life needed to change
- How I became an employee inside my own business
- Why slowing down feels wildly uncomfortable (and why I'm doing it anyway)
- The difference between working in your family and working on your family
- How to create your own \"Summer Of...\" theme and use it to guide decisions
- Why you can have it all—but you can't do it all
- The question every woman should be asking herself: What do I actually want?
- How I'm redefining success, ambition, motherhood, and freedom
