What if your productivity could feel aligned, not forced?

In this episode, I’m joined by Allie Jones, a certified Working Genius facilitator, to explore how understanding your strengths at work can help you unlock flow and ditch the hustle.

Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, running a small team, or just feeling stuck in work that drains you — this conversation will help you shift from frustration to fulfillment. We break down the Working Genius test and what it actually reveals about your natural productivity style, plus how to delegate with confidence, collaborate more effectively, and spend more time in your zone of genius.

You’ll hear how to spot the real reason some tasks feel easy and others feel like pulling teeth, and how to tap into your flow state by honoring your energy, not just your calendar. Allie shares practical examples of how knowing your genius helps you build a business and life that feels uncomplicated and aligned — even when you’re juggling it all.

We also talk about how this framework can improve team collaboration and reduce burnout by helping you work with others from a place of understanding and strength. And yes, we even explore how AI can support the areas of your work that feel heavy — so you can focus on what lights you up.

If you're ready to lead with your strengths, delegate your weaknesses, and create real momentum without the burnout, this one’s for you.

You’re a planner. You love strategy, structure, and big-picture thinking.
But what happens when that gift for planning quietly turns into a form of procrastination?

In this solo episode, I break down a trap that so many intentional entrepreneurs fall into (including myself): using planning as a way to avoid action.

I explore why planning often feels productive, but secretly keeps you stuck. I unpack the myths around readiness and perfectionism, and how overthinking can become a form of avoidance. You’ll hear the difference between preparing and avoiding, and how perfectionism can disguise itself as productivity.

This conversation will help you shift out of analysis paralysis and into gentle, intentional action — even when the path isn’t fully mapped out. I share practical ways to use your planner brain to create momentum, not maintenance, and why imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.

If you’ve been craving more intention, less hustle and want your productivity to feel joyful, not pressurized, this one will resonate deeply.

Whether you’re a creative, coach, or working mom juggling all the things, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and simple tools to bring more clarity, confidence, and peaceful productivity into your day.

And if you've ever spent hours tweaking your Trello board instead of sending the pitch email… this one's a must listen for you.

What if the path forward isn’t about doing more, but about slowing down, tuning in, and trusting yourself more deeply?

In this soulful and honest conversation, I’m joined by feminine leadership coach Tanja Sanders, who shares how she made a powerful shift from hustle mode into a business built on intuition, self-trust, and sustainable growth.

We talk about what it really means to unlearn hustle culture, honor your nervous system, and embrace the slower rhythms that support authentic business growth — even when it feels unfamiliar.

Tanja opens up about a quiet season in her business and how she stopped forcing productivity and instead gave herself permission to pause. You’ll hear how she moved through discomfort, rebuilt trust with her body, and found a new kind of clarity and momentum.

Whether you’re deep in a transition or just craving a more easeful way to lead, this episode will remind you: you don’t have to push to be powerful.

This conversation is an invitation to soften, trust yourself more, and create from a place of alignment instead of pressure.
