Welcome back to The Elevated Edit, where we don’t just talk strategy—we talk sustainability. If you’ve ever felt like you were doing all the things but still couldn’t find your flow, this episode is the reset your nervous system didn’t know it needed.

I’m sharing the exact moment I realized I was sabotaging my own success—not because I lacked discipline, but because my body didn’t feel safe. From high-stress real estate calls on vacation to the pressure of being “on” 24/7, this is the behind-the-scenes truth about why regulation isn’t just for meditation retreats—it’s your most powerful business tool.

In this episode:

• The real reason that one text sent you into a spiral
• Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—decoded for modern entrepreneurs
• How your “personality quirks” might actually be nervous system responses
• A 3-question self-check that will change how you operate this week
• Why regulating your nervous system will be your #1 business flex in the AI era

Power Move:

Start asking: Does my body feel safe succeeding? Because if it doesn’t… it will fight you every step of the way.

If you end your workday still thinking about what you didn’t finish—and wake up already overwhelmed by what you forgot—you’re not inconsistent. You’re just mentally overloaded.

In this episode of The Elevated Edit™, Blaklee dives into the psychology and physiology of incomplete loops, cognitive residue, and the real reason your business feels heavier than it should. Drawing from the Zeigarnik Effect (with a side of waiter nostalgia), she breaks down why your shutdown routine isn’t a cute productivity tip—it’s a business growth necessity.

You’ll walk away from this episode with both a wake-up call and a solution. Because you don’t need more motivation. You need a system that tells your brain: we’re done for today.

What’s inside:

• How your brain subconsciously keeps “orders” open like an unpaid tab
• Why most productivity advice fails (hint: it starts in the wrong place)
• What scattered systems and procrastination are really trying to tell you
• How incomplete loops keep your nervous system in fight-or-flight
• The science behind creativity blocks and burnout—and how to fix it
• A behind-the-scenes look at Hot Girl Shutdown™, Blaklee’s 2-week ritual reset designed to help you log off like a legend

We made it to 100 episodes, and I’m keeping it raw, reflective, and real. No fancy outline, just a post-it note, espresso, and everything I’ve learned from showing up scared and pressing publish anyway.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three biggest lessons I’ve learned after 100 podcast reps:

• Why messy action is the only real strategy that works
• The surprising truth about support (hint: there’s more of it than you think)
• How getting in the right rooms will rewire your brain, shift your standards, and show you what you're really capable of

You don’t need permission. You need proof that action pays off, and this episode is exactly that.

Power Move:

If this lit a fire in you, share it with the friend who keeps saying she wants to start the thing. Let this be the episode that helps her take her first rep.

And if you’re feeling bold? Screenshot it, tag me, and tell the world what your next 100 reps will be.

If your business feels chaotic, inconsistent, or just off, it might not be your offer, your content, or your strategy. It might actually be you.

In this episode of The Elevated Edit™, Blaklee is breaking down why your business is a direct reflection of your personal development—and how to decode what your systems, content, pricing, and execution are really trying to tell you.

This one is vulnerable, tactical, and wildly clarifying. If you’ve ever felt like you were “doing everything right” and still not seeing results, this episode will help you spot the hidden root of the problem and guide you toward the version of you who actually scales.

What you’ll learn:

• Why clarity gaps usually stem from identity confusion
• The real reason you’re inconsistent with content (hint: it’s not laziness)
• What scattered systems say about your nervous system
• How your pricing reveals your self-trust level
• Why chaotic execution is often a sign you're avoiding your next level

Plus: Blaklee’s go-to journaling prompt to align your internal growth with your business goals.

Power Move:

Journal on this: What patterns in my business are trying to show me where I need to grow personally?

Feeling bloated with content but still stuck in place? This is your loving wake-up call.

In today’s episode of The Elevated Edit, we’re talking about something most ambitious women are afraid to admit: You’re not unmotivated—you’re overconsuming.

If you’ve been filling your brain with podcasts, books, courses, and scrolls but still can’t seem to execute at the level you know you’re capable of… you might be deep in an input hangover. And you’re not alone.

Inside this episode, Blaklee shares:

• What an “input hangover” actually is—and why it’s so sneaky
• How 3–4 hours of ‘productive learning’ nearly sabotaged her goals
• The surprising identity attachment behind binge-learning
• Her 3-step Input Detox Framework (yes, you’ll want to write this down)
• Why applied knowledge—not just knowledge—is your new power in the age of AI
• The real reason you’re overwhelmed (and how to find clarity again)

Power Moves:

• Do a time audit. See where your input is stealing your output.
• Commit to one goal → one mentor → one tool.
• Ask, “What would I do if I trusted myself?”

Ever notice how you're suddenly the most productive version of yourself the day before a vacation? That’s not hustle—it’s clarity. And it’s rooted in something called Parkinson’s Law, which says: work expands to fill the time you give it.

In today’s quick hit episode, we’re talking about:

• Why giving yourself two weeks might be sabotaging your momentum
• How to build minimum viable products in your business and life
• The truth about time management, self-trust, and spiraling
• Why your first version doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to exist
• How to embody that vacation-mode clarity on purpose

This episode is your reminder that perfection isn't power—progress is. And the faster you get something done, the faster you can refine it, get feedback, and actually move forward.

Ready to start managing your time like you’re headed to the airport?

Tried every planner, app, and time block—and still feel chaotic? You’re not broken. You’re just solving an emotional overload with a logical tool.

In this episode, I dive into Alchemy by Rory Sutherland and unpack why the best systems often make no sense on paper—but work like magic in real life. If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s tired of being told to “just be more disciplined,” this one will blow your mind.

Most women don’t need another strategy—they need a new standard. In this short and sharp Friday episode, I’m sharing the exact mindset shifts and micro-decisions that helped me raise my standards in 2025—and how that changed everything. From letting go of “I’m just busy” energy to standing firm in how I allow others to treat me, this is your gut-check moment to stop settling and start showing up as her.

In This Episode:

• Why strategy won’t save you—but standards will
• 3 personal examples of how I raised the bar in 2025
• A real-time situation where I chose respect over revenue
• The mindset that helped me stop tolerating sloppy execution
• How to simplify and execute on your new standards today

Power Move:

Pick one standard you’re done lowering. Write it down. Say it out loud. Then let every decision today match that standard.

Feeling scattered, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you’re doing enough? This episode is your lifeline.

We’re diving deep into the real reason so many ambitious women feel stuck right now—and no, it’s not because you're lazy or unmotivated. It’s because you’re overwhelmed by too many options. From AI tools to TikTok strategies to side hustles that sound good in theory, the menu of possibilities is endless—and it’s killing your momentum.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

• The #1 reason most solopreneurs are stuck in reaction mode
• Why having more time won’t fix your to-do list—and what will
• The subconscious sabotage loop that keeps you “working” but not progressing
• The One-Thing Formula™—three questions to build discernment and momentum
• How to shift from dabbling to executing with excellence (and breathe again)

Power Moves:

• Reclaim clarity by asking: What actually moves the needle?
• Visualize your future self—and reverse engineer her daily decisions
• Scale back your list, build back your confidence

This might surprise you, but structure isn't the answer right now—action is. In today’s episode, I’m calling out the planning loop that’s keeping so many high-achieving women stuck. If you’re constantly reworking the same launch plan or to-do list, it’s time for a belief shift. This is your permission slip to move, adapt, and learn faster than ever before.

Inside this episode:

• Why overplanning is a form of self-sabotage
• How structure should accelerate action—not stall it
• A hard lesson I learned launching The Archive™
• What to do when you’re addicted to preparation
• The simple challenge that will reset your execution energy
