Ever find yourself endlessly tweaking that email, that deck, that post — until you’ve missed the deadline (or the point)? You’re not alone.

This week we’re talking about perfectionism — why it feels productive, why it holds us back, and how to finally break the cycle so you can move forward with purpose (and your sanity intact).

We share our personal Wins & WTFs — from overcoming camera shyness and messy writing to battling the inner gremlin that whispers, “It’s not good enough yet.” We also answer a relatable Coach Me Moment: "I spend so much time editing and reworking things — I never actually finish. Can you COACH ME please?!"

Plus, we give you simple, actionable tools to help you shift from stuck to DONE — imperfectly but powerfully.

In this episode:

🎯 The difference between healthy striving and perfectionism

💭 Why “high standards” can actually mask fear and people-pleasing

🙋‍♀️ Coach Me Moment: How to stop over-polishing and finally finish

🧠 Quote That Shook Us: “Perfection is the enemy of progress.” – Winston Churchill

Adult friendships can be incredible — but also incredibly complex. From ride-or-die soulmates to friendships that quietly drift apart, we all experience the evolving nature of our circles as life shifts.

In this episode, we unpack the highs, lows, and in-betweens of female friendships — from friendship friction and emotional labor to the joy of finding your true "growth friends."

We share our personal Wins & WTFs in friendship, answer a raw Coach Me Moment on how to handle friendships that are fading, and introduce our Friendship Energy Audit — a simple tool to help you reflect on who’s giving, who’s draining, and who truly aligns with the woman you’re becoming.

If you’ve ever wondered: 🤔 Should I fight for this friendship or let it go? 🤔 Why is it so hard to make new friends as an adult? 🤔 How do I protect my energy while still showing up with love? — this one’s for you.

In this episode:

💬 How our friendships shifted after big life changes

💡 Why some friendships fade (and why that’s normal)

🙋‍♀️ Coach Me Moment: “My best friend and I are growing apart — what should I do?”

🧠 Quote That Shook Us: “Some friendships are for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.”

What does it really mean to have a competitive edge — especially when you’re navigating the constant juggle of career, motherhood, and life? In this episode, we’re diving into how your ambition evolves over time — and how to lean into your strengths without losing yourself in the process.

We share our own moments of duality this week — from hot career wins to honest WTFs — and answer a powerful listener question: "Motherhood has completely shifted how I see my career — what I want, what I’m striving for. How do I redefine success and ambition in this new season of life? Can you coach me through this?"

Tanu and Cathy explore how motherhood can sharpen your leadership skills, shift your values, and create an evolved, more aligned version of ambition — one that’s yours, not defined by others.

We also share an inspiring “Quote That Shook Us” and close with a Mini Boost you can use today to own your competitive edge with clarity and confidence.

In this episode:

🔥 How motherhood shifts ambition — and why that’s not a bad thing

💥 Why your competitive edge may evolve (and how to embrace it)

🙋‍♀️ Listener Q: How do I redefine success now that my life and priorities have changed?

🧠 Quote That Shook Us — Indra Nooyi + Reshma Saujani

🛠️ Mini Boost: Own Your Edge — a simple tool to reconnect with your strengths and show up with confidence

This one’s for the overthinkers, the overdoers, and the women who carry way too much — not just in their hands, but in their heads.

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about overwhelm: why it shows up, how it sneaks into our everyday lives, and how to stop wearing it like a badge of honor.

We’ll share personal stories about when we were drowning in to-dos, explore the mindset traps that fuel burnout, and offer a simple but powerful mindset shift to help you find more clarity and calm — even in the chaos.

Plus: our weekly Win & WTF, a listener “Coach Me” question, and a Mini Boost to help you start letting go of what’s not yours to carry.

In this episode:

💥 Why ambitious women normalize overwhelm

💡 The moment we realized we were doing too much

🙋‍♀️ Listener Q: How do I set boundaries without looking lazy - can you #CoachMe?

🧠 Quote that changed our mindset on rest

🛠️ Mini Boost: A 3-minute boundaries check-in to reclaim your time and energy
