This episode is a call to action for women ready to break free from societal norms and redefine success on their terms. Together, we explore the power of creating your own standards, reclaiming your vision, and living a life that aligns with your deepest values—without sacrificing your health, relationships, or peace of mind.

00:14 Breaking Barriers and Challenging Beliefs: Why women don’t believe they can play by their own rules—and why it’s time to change that.
03:34 The Toxicity of Sacrifice: How the myth of “success through sacrifice” drains creativity, joy, and initiative.
05:07 The Cost of Waiting: Why waiting for the “right time” holds you back from your fullest potential.
