BUT FIRST, SHE FAILED - Career Growth, Women Entrepreneurs, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Growth Mindset, Confidence

In this REWIND episode of But First, She Failed, Host Paola Soares revisits one of the most practical and powerful conversations on building a life that actually works for you — not against you.

If you feel overwhelmed, behind, scattered, or like your home life constantly spills into your business goals… this episode is for you.

Paola sits down with Chelsi Jo Moore, host of Systemize Your Life, a top-ranked podcast with over 2 million downloads and 350+ episodes. Chelsi Jo is known for helping women — especially entrepreneurs and work-from-home moms — create simple, sustainable systems that reduce chaos and increase clarity.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What it really means to systemize your life (and why it's not as rigid as it sounds)

• How time management systems create more freedom — not less

• The connection between home organization and business productivity

• Common mistakes female entrepreneurs make when trying to "do it all"

• How to move from reactive living to intentional structure

This episode is especially relevant if:

• You're building a business while managing a home

• You constantly feel like you're playing catch-up

• You want more peace, consistency, and follow-through

• You know you're called to more but your schedule feels chaotic

Systems aren't about perfection — they're about support.

And as you grow in your calling and leadership, structure becomes the thing that sustains the vision.

In this episode of the But First, She Failed podcast, host Paola Soares dives into a powerful shift that can take you from feeling scattered, exhausted, and overwhelmed… to clear, focused, and energized.

If you've been feeling burned out, mentally drained, or frustrated that you're not making progress on your goals, this episode will challenge the way you think about productivity and time management.

What if the real problem isn't that you don't have enough time — but that your energy is scattered?

After attending a recent Tony Robbins event, Paola began exploring the idea that we are not living in a time shortage — we're living in an energy crisis. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from emotional and mental energy leaks like comparison, overthinking, misalignment, and operating in "push mode" instead of purpose-driven pull.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why you can sleep 8 hours and still feel exhausted

• The difference between push energy and pull energy

• How hidden energy leaks quietly drain your focus and motivation

• A 4-step practical reset to help you reclaim your clarity and momentum

• How to move from reacting to creating in your life and calling

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly behind, this conversation will help you identify what's draining you and show you how to redirect your energy toward what truly matters.

Because energy isn't something you find — it's something you direct.

In this episode, Host Paola Soares speaks with a pioneer and leader in the overcoming in this rewind episode, Host Paola Soares revisits a powerful and timeless conversation on how to permanently overcome limiting beliefs with renowned belief expert Shelly Lefkoe.

Shelly Lefkoe is a pioneer in the field of belief elimination and the co-founder and President of the Lefkoe Institute. Her science-based method has helped over 200,000 people across more than 120 countries experience lasting change by identifying and eliminating the root cause of limiting beliefs—rather than simply learning how to cope with them.

Unlike traditional mindset or personal development tools that focus on managing thoughts, the Lefkoe Method is designed to address why limiting beliefs form in the first place and why they continue to show up in our lives, even when we're highly motivated or self-aware.

In this conversation, Paola and Shelly explore:

• Why limiting beliefs feel so real—and so hard to shake

• How beliefs are formed early in life and carried into adulthood

• Why willpower, affirmations, and mindset shifts often aren't enough

• What it actually takes to create lasting inner freedom

Shelly's work has been endorsed by some of the most respected voices in personal development, including Jack Canfield, Janet Attwood, Dr. Joe Vitale, Lisa Nichols, and more.

In this episode, Host Paola Soares explores what really happens when life feels "off," and why what many people call a midlife crisis or identity crisis is often something far healthier — a midlife readjustment, a season of reflection, realignment, and personal rebirth.

Paola breaks down the difference between an unhealthy midlife crisis (reactive, fear-driven, impulsive) and a healthy midlife awakening (intentional, reflective, and aligned), and shares why research shows that only 10–20% of adultsactually experience a true midlife crisis. For most people, feeling stuck, restless, or misaligned is part of a normal life transition — an invitation to reinvent yourself with clarity and purpose.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why you may feel stuck, lost, or questioning your direction

• Signs you're in an awakening or identity shift

• What misalignment is trying to reveal

• How to move from crisis → clarity → rebirth

• Practical reflection questions to help you reconnect with your calling

• How this season can become a powerful new beginning

If you're navigating a midlife transition, feeling behind, or craving deeper alignment in your career, purpose, or identity, this episode will help you reframe your season and step into it with confidence and hope.
