If someone asked you right now what your time is worth, could you answer them? Most women can't. And that's a problem because when we don't know our worth, we make decisions from guilt and obligation instead of strategy and self-respect. We say yes to things that drain us, we hold onto tasks someone else could handle, and we feel guilty about investing in help that would actually transform our lives. Whether you're managing a household, running a business, or doing both, understanding the actual economic value of your time changes everything about how you show up and what you prioritize.

In this episode, I'm walking you through two powerful exercises that will completely shift how you see your time. First, we're calculating what it would cost to outsource all the caregiving and household work you're currently doing (spoiler: it's probably over $200,000 a year). Then, if you're a business owner, I'm showing you exactly how to figure out your real hourly rate so you can make smarter decisions about where to spend your time and money. This isn't about guilt. It's about getting clear on your value so you can finally make decisions that honor it.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why the caregiving and household work you do is worth over $200,000 annually
• How to calculate the economic value of replacing everything you do at home
• The exact formula for determining your actual hourly rate as a business owner
• Why knowing these numbers changes your decisions about outsourcing and investing in help
• How to stop making choices from guilt and start making them from strategy

"ADHD is a superpower."

I used to say that too. I was coached to tell my daughter that her ADHD brain was special, powerful, a gift. But when Kristen Carder said "Actually, no it's not, and that's okay," something clicked for me. Because here's what we don't talk about: telling someone who's struggling just to get out of bed on time that their brain is a superpower? That can feel like toxic positivity wrapped up in a bow. It dismisses the very real daily struggles that come with ADHD.

This conversation with Kristen, certified life coach and host of the I Have ADHD Podcast, completely shifted how I understand ADHD procrastination and motivation. If you've ever beat yourself up for procrastinating on the things you care about most, if you've ever wondered why you can't just find the motivation to do what you know you need to do, or if you love someone with ADHD and want to actually understand what they're going through, this episode is going to matter. Kristen gets real about why procrastination has nothing to do with laziness, why motivation is basically useless, and how building emotional resilience is the actual key to getting things done. This one's important, friends.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why the "ADHD is a superpower" narrative can actually be harmful and what empowers people instead
• The truth about ADHD procrastination
• Why waiting for motivation is a trap and what to fuel your actions with instead
• Why the right things in life almost always feel terrible and that's completely normal

You know that feeling when you create the perfect plan for your week, and then by Tuesday everything has already fallen apart? Maybe your boss changed priorities, your kid got sick, or three unexpected things landed on your plate. So you tell yourself planning is pointless and just stop doing it altogether. The planning systems you've been taught were never designed for the life you're living.

Most planning advice out there assumes you're working with a perfect week. But you're not living in a perfect world. Your life has turbulence built into it, and that's not your fault. In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional planning fails women with unpredictable lives, and I'm teaching you how to create plans that actually work with your reality instead of pretending next week will magically be different.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why traditional planning systems fail women with unpredictable lives
• The pilot analogy that changes everything about how you view planning
• How to create an "emergency fund" with your time (not white space)
• Why abandoning planning means abandoning control of your destination
• The exact mindset shift that lets you plan for turbulence instead of perfection
