Research shows that self-criticism keeps your nervous system in threat mode, which makes you more reactive, not less. There's a sixty-second practice that interrupts that loop in real time, and this episode is where you learn it. This Week's Hi-Cap Move: A three-step reset designed for the moments when guilt or self-criticism actually hits.

445 - Hi-Cap Friday: The Values vs. Time Audit
24/04/2026 | 14min
If I asked you to name your top values right now, I'd probably hear things like family, health, joy, faith, presence. Now if I opened your calendar from last week, would I actually see those things? Most women find a gap. Not because they don't care about what they value, but because the urgent has a way of quietly crowding out the important without anyone deciding that's what would happen. That gap is one of the most common places capacity leaks. And closing it, even a little, is one of the fastest ways to stop feeling like your life is running you instead of the other way around. This Week's Hi-Cap Move: A two-part audit that makes the gap visible and gives you one specific move to start closing it. Listen to find out how to run it and why what you do with what you find matters more than the audit itself. Resources Core Values Worksheet -- 🧠 What's your capacity pattern?

444 - What It Actually Means to Have It All — and How to Build the Life You Want
21/04/2026 | 45min
You already know how to do more.
The question nobody asks is whether more is actually what you want.
Carol Enneking spent decades doing it all — corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, working motherhood — and doing it well.
But somewhere in the middle of building an impressive life, she stopped asking whether it was actually the life she wanted.
She’s interviewed over 70 women since then and found the same pattern everywhere.
In this conversation she shares the values-based framework that helps women get clear on what matters, let go of what doesn't, and stop spending their best energy on things that were never theirs to carry.
What You’ll Learn: Why “having it all” is the wrong goal - and what to aim for instead The three mindset anchors that get Carol through every major life transition How to rebalance - the framework for making one small move at a time
