High achiever, you're not lazy, you're drowning.
Between late-night work, endless meetings, kids' schedules, aging parents, and the constant pull of competing priorities, even the most organized leaders feel like there's no time left for what they want.
In this episode, I'll share why procrastinatio and even workload are not the root problem, exhaustion is.
And I'll walk you through practical, psychology-backed strategies to reclaim your time and energy so you can finally make space for the things you've been putting off: a run, dinner with friends, time with your kids, or just a moment to breathe.
You'll learn:
-
Why traditional time management hacks don't work for ambitious professionals

The science of decision fatigue and how it keeps you stuck
-
Simple frameworks to create boundaries without guilt

How to design small shifts that compound into lasting change
