How do you build a fulfilling life when your calendar is already overflowing?
This week I’m joined by Corina Sanchez, systems strategist, coach, and founder of Moms Who Leverage, where she helps working moms move out of survival mode and into something more sustainable (and actually joyful).
Corina brings the kind of perspective shift we all need: a reminder that productivity isn’t the goal — capacity is. We talk about what it really takes to create more space in your life when the plates just keep spinning, and why the systems that support you don’t need to feel rigid, overwhelming, or like one more thing to manage.
Inside the episode, we talk about:
✨ The sneaky belief that says joy has to be earned, and how Corina unhooked from it
✨ How her “Me, We, They” method helps you delegate without guilt
✨ Systems that actually support your values (not just your calendar)
✨ Real-life ways she’s structured her week around meals, movement, and meaningful time
✨ What changed when her husband stopped resisting systems and started seeing the upside
✨ How she’s helping women reclaim capacity in work and motherhood
If your brain is tired, your list is long, and you keep wondering how everyone else is managing dinner, this one’s for you. Corina’s work is rooted, clear-eyed, and refreshingly generous — and this conversation will leave you feeling resourced in the best way.

If the idea of taking a real break from your business this summer sounds both dreamy and totally impossible, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by two dear friends (and podcast fan favorites!) Casey von Stein and Erin Baute, and we’re getting honest about what it actually takes to step away from your business for a season without losing momentum or sacrificing your mental health. Casey has nailed the art of the summer sabbatical, Erin’s experimenting to find her rhythm, and I’ve dabbled with it too, so I brought them both back to talk about what really works (and what doesn’t).
In this candid, heartfelt conversation, we cover:
✨ How Casey built a sustainable system that lets her take off June and July every year
✨ Why Erin’s first break didn’t quite work and what she’s doing differently now
✨ The mindset shifts and nervous system prep no one talks about (but everyone needs)
✨ Creative ways to keep your business visible even when you're not “on”
This isn’t about selling you another productivity hack. It’s about designing a business that actually supports your life, not the other way around.
