This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast. I literally want you to do less. Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break. The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now. Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”. This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories. The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts. In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊 In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less.

Lauren shares her insights on how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving show up in people's lives and how they can address these struggles. From personal experiences to actionable strategies, this episode dives into the importance of setting boundaries, identifying your core values, and embracing self-compassion. Key Points: Overthinking & Overdoing: Lauren discusses the cost of constantly pushing for perfection and how it affects mental health and productivity. The Price of Overachieving: How being an overachiever often leads to burnout, guilt, and shame, even when you're successful. The Importance of Values: Learn how identifying your core values can help you align your life with what truly matters, leading to more ease and fulfillment. Setting Boundaries: Practical advice for setting and maintaining boundaries, both in business and personal life, to preserve your time and energy. The Role of Self-Compassion: Why being kind to yourself is key to preventing burnout and living a balanced life. Practical Takeaways: Recognize when you're overdoing it and explore why you're pushing yourself so hard. Use a values list to help prioritize what matters most to you and let go of things that drain your energy. Start small with boundary-setting. Communicate clearly with others about your availability and stick to it, even when it's uncomfortable. Stop comparing yourself to others.
