  • 117. Forcing It Isn’t Working Anymore: 5 Things I’m Letting Go of in 2026 to Create Alignment in Business & Life
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode of Call Her Creator, I’m sharing five things I’m consciously letting go of in 2026 — not because they failed, but because they no longer fit the version of my life and business I’m stepping into. We’re talking about real alignment. Not the fluffy kind, the kind that comes from subtraction, boundaries, and honest reassessment. Inside this episode, I break down: Why forcing growth, content, and hustle isn’t working anymore How hustle quietly becomes identity if you don’t reassess it Why posting “just to stay consistent” can disconnect you from your audience How comparison disguises itself as research and pulls you off your own path Why saying yes out of fear costs more than saying no How letting go of past versions of yourself creates space for sustainable growth I also share how health challenges, leadership pressure, and scaling a business forced me to slow down — and what that revealed about alignment, energy, and direction moving forward. This is not a “do more” episode. It’s a recalibration. If you’re in a season of reinvention, burnout, or quiet questioning — this conversation will help you release what’s no longer serving you and step into 2026 with clarity instead of pressure. Plus, I’m sharing details about the DARE TO DREAM giveaway and my Free January Reset, created to help you start the year grounded, aligned, and intentional.

  • 114. Burned Out, Overwhelmed, and Doing It Alone? Listen to This.
    Jan 2 2026
    Being a solo creator looks freeing on the outside, but behind the scenes it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. In this episode of Call Her Creator, I’m pulling back the curtain on the parts of creator life no one talks about: burnout before it happens, decision fatigue, working alone for hours on end, and the pressure of being the only one responsible for everything. If you’ve ever felt tired but unable to slow down, unmotivated but still showing up, or lonely while building something you love, this episode is for you. I walk you through: How I manage my time when everything feels urgent The systems and routines that help me avoid burnout as a solo creator How to reduce decision fatigue so you’re not mentally drained by noon What to do when isolation starts creeping in How to protect your work-life balance without sacrificing your goals This isn’t a hustle-hard episode. It’s an honest conversation about sustainability, boundaries, and building a creator business that supports your life instead of consuming it. You don’t need to do this alone, and you don’t need to burn yourself out to succeed. Listen in if you’re ready to work smarter, protect your energy, and keep showing up without losing yourself in the process.
