In this episode, we sit down with Steph Strauss, a speaker, success coach, and actress passionate about helping women overcome self-doubt and step into their full potential ✨. Steph’s journey began with struggles around self-worth following her parents' divorce. It wasn’t until her mid-twenties that she invested in personal growth, which became a turning point in both her mindset and career.
Steph shares how practices like journaling and affirmations helped her break free from limiting beliefs 📖. One powerful shift came when she replaced the thought, "I don’t have enough time or energy," with the empowering belief, "I have the perfect amount of time and energy."
She also highlights the importance of community and growth experiences, crediting a Rachel Hollis event as a pivotal moment that sparked new courage and clarity 🌟.
Steph’s “Magic Mindset” method focuses on five key tools: self-love, affirmations, gratitude, introspection, and surrendering control. Her story is a reminder that true success comes from slowing down, trusting yourself, and showing up fully for the life you want ❤️.

Ever found yourself saying yes when you really meant no? 🤦♀️ Or dropping everything for someone else’s “urgent” request, only to regret it later? You’re not alone. Setting boundaries is tough, but without them, stress skyrockets, deadlines blur, and burnout sneaks in before you even realize it. 🚨
In today’s episode, we’re breaking down some of the biggest boundary challenges—interruptions, unrealistic deadlines, and the pressure to always be available. ⏳ Plus, we’re flipping the script on those automatic yeses and replacing them with confident, respectful boundaries. Because here’s the thing: boundaries don’t just protect your time and energy; they actually increase your visibility and value in the workplace. 💡
We’ll dive into why saying no doesn’t make you less of a team player—it makes you a better one. You’ll hear real-life examples, simple mindset shifts, and practical responses you can start using today. And if you’re ready to take this work further, be sure to check out the free Bold and Balanced mini-course, where you’ll learn how to delete, delegate, and automate with intention.

Oh, and one of these shifts completely changed how I handle overwhelm—I’ll share that one toward the end, so stick around. And if you’re ready to go even deeper, I’ve got a free mini-course called Bold & Balanced to help you delete, delegate, and automate with ease.

Could your home be silently holding you back from your goals? 🏡✨
We often think of productivity in terms of time management and habits, but what if your space is actually working against you? Today, I’m joined by Mia Danielle—YouTuber, author of Downsizing, and host of Mind Your Home Podcast—to explore how your environment shapes your ability to follow through on your goals without you even realizing it.
We’re talking about why clutter and friction make it harder to stay consistent, how traditional productivity advice completely overlooks the role of physical space, and what it really takes to design an environment that makes your goals easier to achieve. Because if your home is adding stress instead of support, no amount of planning or habit-tracking is going to fix it.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle to stay organized, motivated, or consistent, this episode is for you.

What if work-life balance isn’t fixing burnout—but causing it? We’ve been taught to manage every part of our lives like a well-oiled machine, but what if that constant balancing act is what’s leaving us exhausted?
In this episode, we’re breaking down why burnout isn’t just something that happens to us—it’s baked into how we think about productivity, success, and even self-care. I’ll share why tracking every life domain might be making you more overwhelmed, how performing work and rest is keeping us stuck, and why the real key to balance isn’t adding more—it’s subtracting.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder just to relax, this one’s for you. Let’s redefine balance in a way that actually works.
Check out Bold and Balanced, my free course on the art of saying no—because real balance starts with letting go.

Think accountability is all about guilt, shame, and being called out? Think again! This episode is all about flipping the script on accountability, transforming it into something empowering, uplifting, and even enjoyable.
I’ll share how accountability is actually a powerful tool for support and follow-through, not punishment.
