EP166: You can do it all, just not all at once
Mon Feb 02 2026
We’ve been sold the idea that if we were just more disciplined, more organized, or more evolved, we could excel in every role at the same time.
But that’s not how real life works.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth no one wants to say out loud: you cannot be everything, everywhere, all at once — and that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
When you’re a new mom, other roles will fall short.
When you’re in your most successful season professionally, you may not be the most present partner or parent.
When you’re focused on your health, your social life might take a back seat.
Every season has a cost. And that cost doesn’t mean something is wrong with you — it means you’re human.
We talk about:
• Why the pressure to “have it all together” is exhausting and unrealistic
• How guilt keeps women stuck in constant self-judgment
• Why success in one area often requires letting go in another
• How to give yourself permission to choose a season without shame
• Why disappointing others is sometimes the price of honoring your capacity
This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s always dropping the ball somewhere. You’re not broken. You’re prioritizing. And in the long run, that’s how you actually build a life that works.
As always, have a great f*****g day and remember you are entirely up to you.
