If you’ve been lying awake wondering Am I doing the right thing?' about your career, your kids, or the pace of your life — this episode is for you.

In this New Year reset, I’m sharing a powerful exercise rooted in ancient Stoic philosophy: Memento Mori - remember your mortality. It’s a fast way to clarify what you want and gives you the urgency to make it happen.

You’ll learn:

  • Why high-achieving moms tend to fall into either constant self-criticism or emotional autopilot
  • How the “obituary exercise” instantly reveals what actually matters to you
  • A practical way to translate your long-term legacy into clear decisions you can make now
  • How to stop spinning in guilt and start moving forward with confidence in 2026

This episode will help you get off the hamster wheel of doubt and design a life—at work and at home—you won’t regret.
