If you're ambitious but exhausted, motivated but feel like progress is slow—listen up. This episode is about how we can harness the powerful energy of the Year of the Fire Horse so we can achieve more without the burnout.

For high-achieving Millennials, we're used to feeling anxiety and scattered about achievement. We're living through the Millennial Career Crisis—77% of us report burnout symptoms, yet we're too hardwired for achievement to just quit. So how do we keep our ambition alive while actually protecting our energy? In this episode, I break down why the traditional push-harder model no longer works and introduce a more sustainable path to achievement in 2026 without frantic hustle.

In this episode:

• What the Year of the Fire Horse represents and why 2026 is a momentum year
• The old model fueling Millennial burnout and why high-achievers feel stuck despite external success
• What "regulated ambition" actually means—and how it's different from hustle culture
• The mistakes we make when pursuing multiple goals at once
• The three core principles to harness Fire Horse energy with intention and how to move faster with structure—not chaos

What if one journal entry could change your entire life trajectory—literally overnight? In this episode of Well Done, I sit down with Arielle Moody, founder of Mama Sol, a mineral sunscreen brand that is safe, clean, and actually enjoyable to use.

Arielle reveals how the "worst case scenario" became the catalyst for taking the entrepreneurial leap, doubling her business, and landing on QVC. We dive deep into the manifestation practices that transformed Mama Sol, including the writing exercise that 10x'd her monthly sales, and why eliminating a certain word from your vocabulary will change everything. This conversation is packed with actionable manifestation practices, mindset shifts, and real talk about choosing your dreams over comfort—plus the surprising toxins hiding in your sunscreen.

This episode goes beyond skincare—it’s about listening to your intuition, navigating burnout, and using tools like journaling, meditation, and manifestation practices to transform your life and business.

In this episode:

• Why most "clean" sunscreens still contain hidden toxins
• The reason mineral sunscreens could be unsafe for pregnant or nursing moms
• The cosmic push that forced Arielle to commit to Mama Sol full time
• The manifestation practice that helped Arielle 10x her monthly sales
• Which word to eliminate from your vocabulary to attract what you actually desire
• How a tarot card reader connected Arielle with Jamie Kern Lima (IT Cosmetics founder) in the most synchronistic way
• What it really means to choose your dreams over comfort
• The wellness routines and rituals that help Arielle stay grounded and productive
