EP: 36 | How to Get What You Want (Without Burning Out)
In this episode of The Back Pocket Coach, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest questions I hear from high-performing leaders: How do I get what I want—without burning out, second-guessing, or sacrificing my personal life?
We’re talking about energy, clarity, and the sneaky beliefs that interfere with your goals. I’ll walk you through a simple but powerful shift: from seeing your growth as a responsibility… to seeing it as an opportunity.
Because when you start making decisions from the energy of possibility, everything changes.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, stalled, or just ready for more, this conversation is your invitation to check in, reflect, and rise.
