Why do we feel the most scattered when we’re trying the hardest to stay on top of everything?
Can focus exist without hustle?
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I’m pressing pause on the pressure to perform and tuning into what’s actually happening beneath the surface when your brain feels like it has a hundred tabs open.
This isn’t just a productivity episode.
It’s about what it means to be human in a season that asks so much of you—and how to find your way back to steady.
And I’m not having this conversation alone.
I’m joined by Kennedy Pauley, a thoughtful and radiant student voice who’s walked alongside me in early morning workouts, class transitions, and now, this very real conversation about energy, attention, and alignment.
Together, we talk through:
➡️ Why fall makes your brain feel scattered (and how to reset with self-trust)
➡️ The surprising power of learning styles (and how most of us overlook our own)
➡️ Why ADHD and executive function challenges often go unseen in high achievers
➡️ A behind-the-scenes look at the Petite Practice™ method
➡️ The myth of “one-size-fits-all” focus—and what to try instead
➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™: one intention, one priority, one reset
Here’s the reminder I want to leave you with:
You’re not disorganized. You’re just operating in a system that wasn’t built for you.
Focus doesn’t come from force.
It comes from fit.
And when you find it? You move differently.
Listen now if you’re craving a softer, smarter way to stay steady through the season—and if you’re ready to stop pushing and start partnering with your mind.
