GUEST BIO: Kristy Kilduff is the founder of Awakened Achiever. Awakened Achiever was born out of an acute understanding that while we, as women, are told we can “have it all and do it all” — it is rarely that simple. In our pursuit of a fulfilling career that we juggle in between school drop off lines and household commitments, we find ourselves making concessions to our personal well-being, relationships, or ambitions. We try to navigate it all, but find ourselves overwhelmed by a world that rarely supports it all. Our mission is to radically change this. We are empowering women with a different way of being. You don’t have to choose between excelling in your career and being fully present at home. You can find alignment, and succeed in all areas of your life. With the right tools and support, a life of clarity, alignment, and ease is within reach.

SHOW NOTES: In today’s episode, I sit down with the founder of Awakened Achiever for an honest conversation about what it really means to “have it all.” We dig into the truth behind burnout, overachievement, and that constant pressure to do more, be more, and hold it all together. Kristy shares her powerful story of climbing the corporate ladder, raising three kids, and realizing that success meant nothing if she was too depleted to be present for the moments that mattered most.

We talk about how anxiety often hides behind productivity, how control shows up as safety, and how easy it is for women to lose themselves in the noise of “doing.” Kristy opens up about her own breaking point -the physical signs of burnout, the emotional disconnection from her family, and the moment she decided enough was enough. Her healing journey led her to mindfulness, breathwork, and creating Awakened Achiever, a space for ambitious women to reconnect with who they are beneath the busyness.

Together, we explore how generational conditioning, perfectionism, and the need for approval keep women stuck in overdrive. We talk about learning to pause, breathe, and come back to the present moment - because peace isn’t something we chase; it’s something we choose. Kristy shares simple yet powerful tools to start, from 10-minute meditations in the car to mid-day “power pauses” that reset your energy and re-anchor your presence.

This episode is a reminder that feeling better isn’t selfish - it’s sacred. When you stop proving your worth through busyness and start honoring your needs, you create space for joy, connection, and alignment. Because when you feel better, you do better - and that’s the energy we want to live in
