You’ve been told to chase balance—to juggle it all, do it all, and make it all look effortless. But what if balance isn’t the goal? What if it’s actually what’s keeping you stuck?
In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the balance myth and what to aim for instead: alignment. Because the truth is, balance asks you to split yourself into equal parts, while alignment invites you to lead from what’s real right now—your energy, your body, your values, your season.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for dropping the ball, resentful that you can’t “do it all,” or exhausted trying to meet competing demands in your career and personal life, this episode will shift everything.
We’re diving into aligned leadership for women—a model rooted in nervous system-based leadership and energy management, not external expectations. Because why balance doesn’t work isn’t just a mindset issue—it’s a structural one.
In this episode, I discuss:
-
Why the traditional model of balance isn’t designed for how women actually work and live
-
The hidden pressure and guilt balance creates—and how it drains your energy
-
The difference between chasing balance and living in alignment
-
How to use your body and energy as a leadership compass
-
What aligned leadership looks and feels like—and why it’s more effective and sustainable for high-achieving women
Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, or wellness-minded leader, this is the conversation that reframes women’s wellness and leadership for good.
Power Quote:
“Balance tells you to do everything equally. Alignment teaches you to respond to what matters most right now.”

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.
