Burnout doesn’t usually hit all at once. It creeps in through overpacked schedules, perfectionism, people pleasing, and the belief that you have to “do it all” to prove you’re capable.

In this episode, I’m talking with Daniela Wolfe, licensed master’s social worker, speaker, trainer, and author of Balance Breakthrough: A Practical Guide for Busy Professionals to Take Charge of Their Work, Life, and Well-Being.

Daniela shares her own story of burning out as a young mom with a 4-month-old and a toddler while trying to hold everything together at work and at home. From that experience, she created her Exhausted to Empowered Formula, a practical framework that helps stressed, burned-out professionals reclaim their time, energy, and mental health.

We talk about:

• How burnout can come from the things you love (work, kids, business, relationships)
• Why mindset has to shift before self-care will actually work
• Her simple nightly gratitude practice that changed everything
• The Exhausted to Empowered Formula: mindset, time planning & self-care
• “Time planning” vs “time management” and why buffers in your day matter
• Micro-moments of self-care you can do in 30–60 seconds
• How boundaries protect your energy and model healthy behavior for others
• Why grace (and the word “yet”) is one of the most powerful tools you have

Daniela also shares her free resource, “Reclaim Your Time in 10-Minute Blocks Cheat Sheet,” which helps you both find those small pockets of time and know what to do with them so you don’t default to email, chores, or scrolling.

If you’re tired of ending the day exhausted, resentful, or wondering what you even did all day, this episode will give you simple, realistic ways to shift from survival mode to feeling more present, calm, and in control.

Saying no is simple in theory, but in real life it can feel loaded with guilt, obligation, and pressure to keep everyone else happy. In this episode, I talk with visionary coach and consultant Helene Rennervik about how to say no with grace, honor your limits, and create space for what truly matters.

Helene has more than 30 years of international experience in leadership, coaching, and personal transformation. She shares her journey from high-pressure corporate life in the Middle East, through burnout and reinvention, to teaching women how to release perfectionism and people pleasing without losing their generous hearts.

We talk about:

• Why saying no is an act of self-respect, not selfishness
• How to pause before you automatically say yes
• What it really means to live from your values
• How boundaries create more freedom, energy, and joy
• Listening to your body as your best organizing and decision-making tool
• Why “living in the question” opens up more possibilities and less pressure

Helene also shares her People Pleaser Score App and gives a sneak peek at Helen AI, her new tool that helps women practice the power of no without guilt in everyday situations.

If you are tired of overcommitting, feeling resentful, or putting yourself last, this conversation will help you step into a kinder, stronger version of yourself.
