I believe that women can live the life they’ve always dreamed of, but it means making really discerning choices about how we spend our limited resources of time and energy.

I know what it’s like. There was a time when I thought I needed to be Martha Stewart (pre-jail) in the home, mom of the year, the glue that keeps the family together, a boss in the boardroom, and the best friend, all while looking amazing and keeping a smile on my face.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out well for me. In fact, it doesn’t seem to be working out very well for any of us. I talk to women every day who are working more hours than they were hired for and not finding satisfaction with their families, marriages, or themselves.

It’s time to call out the unrealistic expectations and redefine success in a way that actually serves us.

In this week’s episode, we explore the myth of 'having it all,' exposing society's unrealistic expectations, especially for women.

Here's what you'll hear in this week's episode. This is an important one, ladies!

• How historical viewpoints on women's roles have evolved over time

• Looking closely at the challenges of balancing family, career, and societal expectations

• How to dismantle unrealistic standards and prioritize personal values over external validation

• The reframe to help you set better boundaries
