230. The Bucket Method: How to Achieve Everything You Want 10x Faster (Even With Limited Time & Energy)
Tue Feb 03 2026
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down The Bucket Method, a powerful goal-setting framework for ambitious women who want sustainable success without burnout. If you feel stretched thin trying to grow your business, maintain relationships, prioritize your health, and still have a life, this episode will help you simplify, focus, and actually move the needle.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why hustle culture and “do it all” goal setting keep entrepreneurs overwhelmed, unfocused, and stuck
• The eight core life buckets competing for your time, energy, and attention and how to choose the right ones for this season
• How to use the Wheel of Life to assess fulfillment, alignment, and where growth actually matters
• Turning big goals into realistic daily actions so progress feels achievable even with limited time and capacity
• How to make confident decisions, set boundaries, and stop second-guessing yourself by using your buckets as a clarity filter
This episode is a necessary realignment for entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-achieving women who want clarity, focus, and momentum without burning themselves out or chasing someone else’s version of success.
