In this episode of the But First, She Failed podcast, host Paola Soares dives into a powerful shift that can take you from feeling scattered, exhausted, and overwhelmed… to clear, focused, and energized.

If you've been feeling burned out, mentally drained, or frustrated that you're not making progress on your goals, this episode will challenge the way you think about productivity and time management.

What if the real problem isn't that you don't have enough time — but that your energy is scattered?

After attending a recent Tony Robbins event, Paola began exploring the idea that we are not living in a time shortage — we're living in an energy crisis. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from emotional and mental energy leaks like comparison, overthinking, misalignment, and operating in "push mode" instead of purpose-driven pull.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why you can sleep 8 hours and still feel exhausted

• The difference between push energy and pull energy

• How hidden energy leaks quietly drain your focus and motivation

• A 4-step practical reset to help you reclaim your clarity and momentum

• How to move from reacting to creating in your life and calling

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly behind, this conversation will help you identify what's draining you and show you how to redirect your energy toward what truly matters.

Because energy isn't something you find — it's something you direct.

In this episode, Host Paola Soares speaks with a pioneer and leader in the overcoming in this rewind episode, Host Paola Soares revisits a powerful and timeless conversation on how to permanently overcome limiting beliefs with renowned belief expert Shelly Lefkoe.

Shelly Lefkoe is a pioneer in the field of belief elimination and the co-founder and President of the Lefkoe Institute. Her science-based method has helped over 200,000 people across more than 120 countries experience lasting change by identifying and eliminating the root cause of limiting beliefs—rather than simply learning how to cope with them.

Unlike traditional mindset or personal development tools that focus on managing thoughts, the Lefkoe Method is designed to address why limiting beliefs form in the first place and why they continue to show up in our lives, even when we're highly motivated or self-aware.

In this conversation, Paola and Shelly explore:

• Why limiting beliefs feel so real—and so hard to shake

• How beliefs are formed early in life and carried into adulthood

• Why willpower, affirmations, and mindset shifts often aren't enough

• What it actually takes to create lasting inner freedom

Shelly's work has been endorsed by some of the most respected voices in personal development, including Jack Canfield, Janet Attwood, Dr. Joe Vitale, Lisa Nichols, and more.

In this episode, host Paola Soares explores why so many goals and dreams quietly stall—not because of a lack of motivation, but because of unseen roadblocks most people aren't prepared for. If you've ever started the year feeling hopeful only to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged weeks later, this conversation will feel deeply familiar.

Paola reflects on what truly gets in the way of follow-through and why clarity, encouragement, and accountability play a much bigger role in personal growth than willpower alone. She invites listeners to slow down, ask better questions, and consider what support might look like in this next season.

This episode also shares details about an upcoming guided reflection experience for listeners who feel drawn to pause, get clear, and approach the new year with greater intention and community.
