In this episode, we dive into a crucial topic for high achievers who feel stuck or aren’t seeing the progress they expect. It’s easy to confuse capability with capacity, but this common mistake can limit your ability to make big strides forward.

If you're a multi-talented, high performer, you're likely taking on more than you can handle, thinking that just because you're capable, you should do it all. But this mindset can quickly become a barrier to success.

Join me as we explore the difference between capability and capacity and why understanding this distinction is essential for breaking through your current limitations. Whether you're hitting walls with a specific goal or feeling stuck in February, this episode is packed with insights to help you reset and move forward!

What would happen if your family quit screens cold turkey? (I know, the thought of the kids’ reaction is enough to stop that wondering immediately!)

Today I share our recent family experiment on going screen-free, including:

• The gentle approach that actually worked

• Why my kids (ages 8 and 11) adapted faster than expected

• The surprising amount of time it freed up

• What happened when I stopped numbing with evening TV

Check out the list of 20+ easy screen free activities here:

In part two of my conversation with Rose Radford on The Executive Coach podcast, we explore:

Plus - why I was late to Crypto

P.S. Catch part one about money energies from last week first!

Ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly attract wealth and abundance while others stay stuck in the same financial patterns?

In this week’s episode of The Executive Coach podcast, I'm joined by my former business coach Rose Radford (who helped transform this podcast into a profitable part of my business) for a fascinating discussion about money energies.

We explore:

• Why being too logical about money might limit your earning potential

• How to know if you're blocking yourself from receiving abundance

• Why your bank balance keeps hitting the same ceiling

• What happened when Rose's client put all her money into Bitcoin based on a dream!

As someone who loves evidence (hello, fellow logical thinkers!), I think you'll appreciate how Rose bridges the practical and intuitive aspects of wealth creation.
