TUNE IN TO THE EPISODE: APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | YOUTUBE
Okay, real talk — I recorded this episode while sick. Stuffy, congested, the whole thing. But I promised you a new episode every Sunday, and a promise is a promise. So here we are!
This week, I’m breaking down something I see come up again and again with the women I work with: the difference between normal hard and soul-draining hard. Because here’s the thing — not all hard is created equal. And if you can’t tell the difference, you’ll either stay somewhere you should’ve left long ago, or you’ll blow up something that just needed a little more patience.
Listen to the episode:
I walk you through 11 different areas — energy, Sunday scaries, self-talk, growth, identity, tasks, time, wins, relationships, your body, and the big picture — and give you a real, honest T-chart comparison so you can take an honest look at your own situation.
I also get personal. I share what it was like having a toxic boss who made me question my own work ethic (spoiler: I was putting in 40+ hours a week — it was him, not me), and why so many of the women I talk to end up in tears on our discovery calls — not because something’s wrong with them, but because they’ve been powering through soul-draining hard for so long.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re losing your spark, questioning your worth, or wondering if you’re “the problem” — this episode is for you.
Here’s a comparison chart of normal hard vs soul draining hard (not just a rough season):
