What if achieving your goals didn't have to come at the cost of your wellbeing?
In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey Jane is joined by emotional wealth coach Elena Chovancak for a conversation about making your desires a reality without burning yourself out in the process.
Elena shares her own experience of repeatedly finding herself in burnout — first through a long corporate career and later while building her own business — and what those experiences taught her about pressure, resistance and living life on her own terms.
Together, Stacey and Elena explore why we can want something while simultaneously resisting it, and how that internal tug-of-war can leave us exhausted. They unpack the difference between forcing yourself to do something and consciously choosing it, and why sometimes the answer isn't to push harder — it's to listen to what you're actually needing.
From changing gyms to taking five minutes to reset, this conversation brings self-kindness down to earth and shows how small, intentional choices can help you create a life that feels good while you're living it.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
- Why constantly pushing yourself can lead to burnout
- The hidden resistance behind the things we say we want
- Moving from “I have to” to “I choose to”
- Listening to what your body and emotions are telling you
- Giving yourself permission to change what no longer works
- Why self-care needs to become intentional rather than optional
- Using kindness to create space for yourself
- How small shifts can change the way you experience your life
- Learning to meet yourself where you are
- Why you don't have to wait for the “perfect” circumstances to start thriving
Because your desires don't have to be something you chase yourself into the ground for.
You can build a life that feels good while you're actually living it.
