In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing a simple moment with my son that opened my eyes to a much bigger truth—how fear, especially the fear of failing, often keeps high-achieving women stuck in cycles of busyness, perfectionism, and avoidance.

We say we don’t have time.

We say we’re just too busy.

But what if… we’re just scared?

Today, we’re getting real about what fear looks like in disguise, how to know when it’s running the show, and how to start moving forward—even while it’s still present.

If you’ve been putting something off for weeks, months, or even years… this one’s for you.

Hey Mama,

This episode isn’t about to-do lists or tips—it’s about you. Your soul. Your heart. Your honest check-in.

Whether you're running on empty, in a quiet in-between, or riding the high of a joyful season, this is your reminder to pause, reflect, and be real with yourself—and with God. Coach Q is inviting you into a vulnerable, unscripted conversation to ask: How are you really doing, mama?

No fluff. No mask. Just truth, grace, and wisdom.

Plus, we’ll talk about what those 2 AM wake-ups really mean, why your “middle season” might be a blessing, and how to shift from doing for others to doing it unto God.

Have you ever been praised for being a high achiever — always reliable, showing up, getting it done? But somewhere along the line, did that drive start to feel like pressure instead of purpose?

In this heartfelt episode, Coach Q breaks down the very thin line between high achieving and overachieving — and why knowing the difference can protect your peace, your health, your relationships, and even your money.

You’ll hear real talk on:

• The signs you’ve crossed into overachieving (and may not even know it)

• How fear can quietly lead your life if you’re not self-aware

• Why being “the strong one” could be costing you more than it’s blessing you

• How to start leading with wisdom, not worry

This is not a place of shame, Mama. This is your safe space to pause, reflect, and pivot. You don’t have to do it all — and you’re still worthy when you rest.
