If you’ve ever felt like you’re silencing the signs of burnout, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Cathryn Howland —a top-performing real estate professional, mom, and former coaching client—who shares her powerful journey from burnout to balance.

On the outside, Cathryn was excelling. But behind the scenes, her days felt reactive, chaotic, and draining. Through coaching and intentional change, she made a bold decision: to stop operating on autopilot and start creating a life and business that felt aligned.

🎧 Inside this episode, we dive into:

• What burnout looks like for high achievers (even when things seem “fine”)

• Why emotional regulation is the key to sustainable success

• The habits Cathryn built to reclaim energy and protect her peace

• How a simple intentional pockets of time changed the trajectory of her productivity

• The impact of asking for help—and why it’s a sign of strength, not weakness

• What happens when you shift from reactive mode to intentional living

Cathryn’s story is such a powerful reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being for your ambition—and that true success includes joy, clarity, and energy that lasts.

What happens when a high-achieving woman decides to stop surviving and start leading her life with intention?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lora Wilkins—attorney, business owner, mom of three, and former client of mine —to share her powerful journey of personal and professional transformation.

Lora opens up about the real challenges of building her own law firm, raising a young family, and hitting that point where the constant juggle wasn’t sustainable anymore. Through mindset work, coaching, and courageous decisions (like hiring support before she felt "ready"), Lora reclaimed her time, her confidence, and her voice as both a leader and a mom.

🎧 In this conversation, we dive into:

• What it really looks like to pivot from burnout to balance

• The mindset shift that helped her stop doing it all alone

• How hiring an assistant created more space for what matters most

• Creating a supportive community for moms in business

• The power of mentorship and women lifting each other up

• Lora’s advice to high-achieving women who feel like they’re drowning in their own success

Her story is honest, inspiring, and such a beautiful example of what’s possible when you slow down just enough to hear your own voice again—and then take action from that place.

✨ If you see yourself in Lora’s story… If you’re a high-level leader who’s quietly wondering, “Is this really it?” If you’re craving more fulfillment, direction, and energy in your life…

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It podcast, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what led me to hire a personal coach during a major career transition—and why it was one of the most powerful decisions I’ve made as a leader.

I talk openly about:

• Navigating leadership overwhelm when you’re "supposed to have it all together"

• The self-doubt that creeps in when your title and your fulfillment no longer match

• The mindset shift that helped me see myself (and my potential) more clearly

• Why high performers need support too—and what that support can look like

• How whole-person coaching impacted both my career and personal life

And if you’re nodding along thinking, this is me—I want to personally invite you into something I’ve created just for women like you.

🎯 The Corporate Leader Clarity Experience This is a small, high-touch mastermind for successful women in leadership roles who are ready to ditch the internal tug-of-war and start leading from a place of alignment, calm, and confidence again.

What would it look like to walk away from the "safe" career path and build something that truly lights you up?

In this episode, I’m joined by Assia Mahmood—entrepreneur, mom, mentor, and owner of Windhaven Academy, a thriving childcare center in Texas. Assia’s story is one of deep resilience and bold, purpose-driven leadership. She left a stable corporate job to follow her vision—and what happened next was anything but easy.

We talk about what it really looks like to take a leap of faith when the timing isn’t perfect (pregnancy, renovation delays, and a global pandemic, to name a few hurdles), and how staying rooted in your why can carry you through seasons of uncertainty.

🎧 In this conversation, we explore:

• What it means to pivot with purpose

• How Assia navigated unexpected challenges—floods, staffing changes, and COVID

• The mindset shifts that helped her stay focused on the big picture

• The power of delegation and protecting your energy as a leader

• Redefining success as a mom, business owner, and mentor

• What generational resilience and mentorship taught her about abundance

Assia is proof that building something meaningful doesn’t require perfect timing—it just requires courage, clarity, and a whole lot of heart.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately—and honestly, living it too.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about something I see over and over again with my coaching clients, and have personally experienced as a mom trying to build a meaningful career: there’s a structural mismatch between the way work is set up and the way families actually live today.

We’re expected to work like we don’t have children and parent like we don’t have careers. And for so many women—especially in dual-income households—it’s just not sustainable.

I share more of my personal journey in this episode: → what it felt like to step back from my career for a season → the messy (and eye-opening) process of reentering the workforce → and the real struggles that come with trying to "do it all" in a system that wasn’t built for us

I’m not here to just vent—I’m here to start something. A conversation. A shift. A movement toward something better.

I’m calling it The Middle Ground Movement, and it’s about reimagining work so it actually supports modern family life—flexible, outcome-based, and human-centered.

🎧 In this episode, I talk about:

• Why the old work structures just don’t fit anymore

• What I believe is possible when we start questioning outdated norms

• My vision for a better way forward—and how we can build it together

• An invitation to join me in this movement, especially if you’re local to Minneapolis

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to listen in—and if you’re nearby, I’d love to connect with you in real life as this vision starts to take shape 💛

Big career shifts can feel scary—but they can also be the doorway to something better aligned. In this episode, I’m joined by Sandi Bouhadana, career consultant, communications coach, and host of the Open for Hire podcast, who shares her powerful story of navigating a major career pivot after being laid off from her role as Senior Director of Training & Development at Beachbody Corporate—after 16 years.

Sandi walks us through the emotional aftermath of a layoff, the deep identity work that followed, and how she ultimately found clarity and purpose in her next chapter. This conversation is full of insight for anyone who's been feeling uncertain about their path or wondering how to rebuild with intention.

We also talk about:

• Reclaiming confidence after a major change

• The role of adaptability in a constantly evolving workforce

• Why understanding your unique skills + impact is everything

• The tension between ambition and motherhood (and how to honor both)

• And how to stay human in a world that’s increasingly driven by AI

🎧 Whether you’re navigating a job loss, career shift, or simply wondering what’s next, Sandy’s wisdom and realness will leave you feeling encouraged and empowered.
