If you’ve ever said “there’s just never enough time,” this episode is for you.

After five incredible weeks in Europe, including the most magical days in the Azores and Southern France, I'm finally sharing the lesson that hit me the hardest: we’re not actually short on time… we’re just living by someone else’s schedule.

In this episode, I unpack how our obsession with productivity, discipline, and the 9-to-5 hustle keeps us disconnected from the present moment, and from ourselves. I take you behind the scenes of a typical “island time” day and explain how letting go of the clock helped me reclaim my energy, creativity, and joy.

This is about more than just time management. It’s about nervous system regulation, rewiring our subconscious, honoring your own rhythm, and making peace with the slower seasons. Whether you’re a recovering perfectionist, a burnt-out achiever, or simply someone craving more freedom, this conversation will shift how you move through your day.

We cover:
• Why “slowing down” might be your secret productivity hack
• How presence creates the feeling of more time
• Deconditioning from guilt around when and how you work
• Living by your own rhythm instead of the universal, made-up schedule
• The power of new environments and your own lobster moment

If you’re ready to stop racing the clock and start reclaiming your time, hit play.

You left burnout behind—only to find yourself trapped in another version of hustle: this time in the name of healing.

In this short solo riff, Carly explores the subtle but powerful shift where meditation, journaling, and “doing the work” can start to feel like just another set of rules. She unpacks the spiritual trap of turning personal growth into a performance—and reminds you that the point of all of it is freedom.

This episode is for the woman who’s done the ice baths, skipped the wine, meditated every damn morning… and still feels stuck. Maybe what you really need? Laughter, connection, dance floors, martinis, and a little less pressure to heal perfectly.

Topics inside:

• The dark side of over-spiritualizing your self-growth
• Why rest isn’t always the answer
• Signs you’re in a “healing prison”
• How to reconnect with what actually lights you up
• Why freedom, not perfection, is the point

This is your permission slip to stop doing what you think you should and start doing what makes you feel alive again.

As always, let me know what lands and be sure to tag me! @carlyschade

What if burnout isn’t the problem—misalignment is?

In this episode, I sit down with Human Design Mentor and Business Strategist Anna Nichols to unpack how Human Design can help you make decisions with more clarity, protect your energy, and reconnect with your true self—especially if you’re in the messy middle of a life or career transition.

We talk about:

• The 4 most important parts of your chart (and how to use them)
• How Human Design gives language to things you’ve always felt (but might not have "known")
• What it means to decondition and stop living by other people’s rules
• Why understanding your energy type helps you break free from burnout

If you’ve ever asked “what’s next for me?” or felt like you were living someone else’s life, this episode is your invitation to start experimenting with something different.

As always...stay bold, stay balanced, and I'll see you next week.
