Ditch the Chaos: The Productivity Rebellion
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving woman who's tired of cramming yourself into productivity systems designed for robots, not women juggling "all the things"?
You've tried the morning routines, downloaded the apps, color-coded the calendars—yet you're still drowning in a sea of "shoulds" that don't actually align with what you want your life to look like.
Here's what's really happening: You're not failing at productivity. You're checking the boxes of everyone else's rules while your own priorities get buried under an avalanche of borrowed expectations.
You find yourself saying yes to opportunities that look impressive but leave you feeling empty and drained. Following advice from productivity gurus who seem to thrive on the exact routines that make you want to burn it all down. Feeling guilty because the "proven systems" everyone raves about just don't fit the way your brain actually works or the life you actually want to build.
Sound familiar? You're not broken, you're just trying to be productive in a way that ignores who you actually are - your dreams, your goals, your success.
Ditch the Chaos: The Productivity Rebellion is the productivity podcast for the ambitious, Type-A woman who's ready to stop apologizing for not being everything to everyone - least of all themselves - and to stop "performing" productivity.
Hosted by Cara Chace - 10-year online entrepreneur, mom, homeschooler, and unapologetic lover of naps - this show teaches you to create white space in your calendar and breathing room in your brain, so you can get crystal clear on your true priorities before you ever write another to-do list.
Instead of handing you another system to follow, we're going to help you design your own time management routines that actually work for your brain, your values, and your version of success.
You'll learn how to identify which "productivity rules" are keeping you overwhelmed and stuck, set boundaries that protect what matters most, and create your own playbook for getting things done without losing yourself in the process.
Each week, you'll get practical productivity tips for ambitious women, real talk about rejecting productivity pressure, and permission to build a work-life balance that looks nothing like the highlight reels you're comparing yourself to.
It's time to stop trying to fit into systems that weren't made for you. It's time to question the rules and make your own.

Ditch the Chaos: The Productivity Rebellion
From Burnout to Clarity: The Pivot That Finally Stuck
If your business—or your life—looks successful from the outside but secretly feels like it’s breaking you, this episode is your wake-up call. Burnout doesn’t always look like failure. Sometimes it looks like doing everything “right” and still feeling completely wrong.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, I’m sharing the story of how I walked away from a thriving marketing agency to recover from burnout, chronic health struggles, and a system that no longer fit my life. This isn’t a rebrand—it’s a reset. One built on clarity, calm, and the decision to finally stop performing productivity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why more money, clients, or structure doesn’t fix burnout
- How chronic burnout forced me to stop—and rethink everything
- What it really looks like to walk away from something that “should” work
- The moment I realized peace mattered more than performance
- How Chaos Detox was built from this exact kind of pivot
These insights are pulled straight from the journey that created Chaos Detox. If you’re feeling the cracks in your current system and wondering what comes next, this is where we start.
👉 Start Chaos Detox and rebuild your system from the inside out—on your terms.
