Unlearning The Trap of "Doing It All"

• Lauren & Marci • Season 1 • Episode 51

🎧 Episode Summary:

 In this episode, Lauren and Marci unpack the emotional, psychological, and cultural roots behind the “do it all” mentality so many high-achieving women carry. From pushing through tasks no one asked them to do, to outsourcing guilt, to redefining what it actually means to be a good mom, partner, or business owner — they break down why releasing control, asking for help, and letting things be easy is the real power move. With a blend of personal stories, gentle truth bombs, and practical tools (hello, the 3 D’s: Delete, Delegate, Delay), this episode is your permission slip to stop proving, start receiving, and build a life that feels good, not just looks good.
