Most women don’t need more goals. They need fewer obligations. That might feel countercultural. But if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and still feeling behind, this episode gives language to what you’re carrying. The issue isn’t motivation—it’s overload.

 

This isn’t just about doing less to recover; it’s about choosing what truly matters. Growth comes from intentionally letting go of roles and habits that drain you, not from pushing yourself harder.

 

For 2026, remember: breakthrough won’t come from new planners, tighter schedules, or more hustle. It will come from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for what matters most.
