In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script on one of the most ingrained productivity myths: that managing your time is the key to managing your life. But here’s the truth—your body doesn’t run on hours, it runs on energy. And if you’re still treating wellness like a chore while giving your business everything you’ve got, you’re not alone. In fact, the data backs it up.
We’ll explore why your wellness feels burdensome, why your calendar might be lying to you, and how leading from alignment, not depletion, can help you build a life and business that actually feels good to live inside.
If you're ready to move from hustle to harmony and lead from a well body, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
Why time management is outdated and energy alignment is the new essential
-
How performance culture has turned wellness into another task to “get right”
-
The neuroscience and hormonal reasons your energy fluctuates and why it matters
-
Why so many women feel guilt when caring for themselves, but not when overworking
-
The cost of treating wellness as a luxury instead of a leadership skill
Referenced Research:
-
67% of professional women delay healthcare due to workload (Journal of Women’s Health)
-
74% of women feel guilty for taking time for themselves (HealthyWomen & Working Mother Institute)
-
80% of women associate wellness with discipline, not rest (Global Wellness Institute)

"You don’t rise to the level of your ambition—you rise, or crash, to the level of your wellbeing."

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
