  • The To-Do List Trap: Why You Can’t Relax

    The To-Do List Trap: Why You Can’t Relax
    May 7 2025

    Have you ever told yourself, “Once I finish everything on my list, then I’ll relax”... only to find that the list never actually ends? It’s like you’re chasing the finish line, but it keeps moving further away. And when you do finally pause, instead of feeling peace, you feel guilt—like you haven’t earned your rest yet. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m going to help you break that cycle so you can stop waiting for permission to rest and finally start honoring your needs—without the guilt.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Why you constantly feel the need to finish everything before you can rest—and why that’s not serving you.
    • How to identify the emotional patterns and beliefs that keep self-care at the bottom of your list.
    • A simple, therapist-informed 4-step method to help you shift from productivity guilt to intentional rest and balance.

    How to Overcome Insomnia with Joseph Pannell
    Apr 23 2025

    If your mind races the moment your head hits the pillow — you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by sleep expert Joseph Pannell, who shares his personal journey through 20 years of chronic insomnia and the powerful, science-backed strategies that helped him heal. We explore the deep connection between high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, and insomnia, and what actually helps when you’re stuck in the spiral of overthinking at night. This conversation is validating, eye-opening, and full of relief for anyone who feels like rest is out of reach.

    • The truth about what insomnia is (and isn’t)
    • Why high achievers are more prone to sleep issues
    • How to stop spiraling at night and calm your mind
    • Practical behavioral shifts that support natural sleep
