438. Overwhelm Addiction: Why You Might Be Hooked on Chaos and How It's Sabotaging Your Million-Dollar Potential

You could be addicted without even knowing it. If you're always busy and always over capacity, you may be addicted to overwhelm. This doesn't necessarily mean that you seek to create chaos, but rather it's a reflection of how your nervous system interprets urgency and intensity. I'm exploring how and why women often get stuck in this pattern of overwhelm and how it actually gets in the way of achievement today. I'll also share three tips for shifting away from overwhelm so you can find true, long-lasting success. In this episode, you will learn about: How ease can actually feel uncomfortable for a brain that's familiar with chaos. Why rest might make you feel guilty (even when you really need it). What happens when overwhelm becomes your solution and your identity. Why "just doing less" isn't the answer to breaking free. What's happening to your body when you're in survival mode. Why you might be choosing chaos over clarity without even realizing it. How a calm, regulated nervous system allows your business to mature. What happens when you stop equating pressure with progress. Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.

437. What To Do When Success Stops Feeling Right

Ever met a milestone you should have been excited about, only to feel disappointed? When you're working towards a goal, your brain is flooded with dopamine. But when you finally reach it, the dopamine stops. This is part of the reason why reaching success doesn't always feel great (but working towards it does). I'm revealing three hardships about finding success today, and I'm also sharing how you can shift your perspective when you meet this moment. You really can learn how to move forward when the high fades. In this episode, you will learn about: What happens in our brains when we're chasing a goal. How the arrival fallacy works and what that might look like for you. What no one tells you about the post-goal dopamine crash (and what's next). The unexpected way I felt when I hit my first million-dollar business milestone. How the purpose void pushed you on the journey, but disappeared at your destination. What success really is (and why this tough season isn't the end of the road). A question to reflect on if you're feeling deflated after reaching a major milestone.
