“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

This one’s for anyone looking to make some changes but feeling stuck. In this episode, I share how I shifted my mindset from passive rest to true restoration, and how small, intentional habits can make a big difference. I open up about my own struggles with negative habits and how taking a step back to really think about what’s serving me has been life-changing.

We talk about everything from reframing mundane tasks like doing dishes to building new routines that actually energize me. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. And trust me, I get it—change is hard! But with a little self-compassion and patience, we can make it happen. I hope this episode gives you the boost you need to keep going and start creating a life that feels more fulfilling. We’re all in this together.

Ever found yourself saying yes when you really meant no? 🤦‍♀️ Or dropping everything for someone else’s “urgent” request, only to regret it later? You’re not alone. Setting boundaries is tough, but without them, stress skyrockets, deadlines blur, and burnout sneaks in before you even realize it. 🚨 In today’s episode, we’re breaking down some of the biggest boundary challenges—interruptions, unrealistic deadlines, and the pressure to always be available. ⏳ Plus, we’re flipping the script on those automatic yeses and replacing them with confident, respectful boundaries. Because here’s the thing: boundaries don’t just protect your time and energy; they actually increase your visibility and value in the workplace. 💡 We’ll dive into why saying no doesn’t make you less of a team player—it makes you a better one. You’ll hear real-life examples, simple mindset shifts, and practical responses you can start using today. And if you’re ready to take this work further, be sure to check out the free Bold and Balanced mini-course, where you’ll learn how to delete, delegate, and automate with intention.

Could your home be silently holding you back from your goals? 🏡✨ We often think of productivity in terms of time management and habits, but what if your space is actually working against you? Today, I’m joined by Mia Danielle—YouTuber, author of Downsizing , and host of Mind Your Home Podcast —to explore how your environment shapes your ability to follow through on your goals without you even realizing it. We’re talking about why clutter and friction make it harder to stay consistent, how traditional productivity advice completely overlooks the role of physical space, and what it really takes to design an environment that makes your goals easier to achieve. Because if your home is adding stress instead of support, no amount of planning or habit-tracking is going to fix it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle to stay organized, motivated, or consistent, this episode is for you.

What if work-life balance isn’t fixing burnout—but causing it? We’ve been taught to manage every part of our lives like a well-oiled machine, but what if that constant balancing act is what’s leaving us exhausted?
