Be the CEO of Your Life and Business Podcast

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll get back to working out once things slow down — this episode is for you. I started working out at 16. I was a gym person for years — the kind who would work a 10-hour day and head straight to the gym for two hours. Then I had kids. Then I couldn’t run anymore. Then perimenopause hit and nothing I was doing was working. Every single one of those transitions fe...

There’s a particular kind of discomfort that high-achieving women know well — the feeling that you’ve outgrown who you’ve been, but you haven’t quite stepped into who you’re becoming. You’re not burned out exactly. You’re not failing. But something feels off, like you’re wearing a version of yourself that no longer quite fits. That’s an identity shift — and it’s one of the most disorienting, under...

We are six months into 2026 — and if you set goals in January, now is exactly the right time to look at them honestly. In this episode, I’m walking you through my own mid-year review, both personally and professionally. I share how my fitness focus shifted from low-impact work to strength training, why I revised my firm’s income goal for this year, and why I stopped stressing about the timeline fo...

Summer break is here. The kids are home. And you're supposed to suddenly become a full-time mom while working, running a business, managing a team, and keeping it all together. Except that's impossible. In this episode, I talk about the mindset shift you actually need: You're not choosing between being a present mother and being a CEO. You're learning to be both—but not at full cap...

After months of chaos and compromise, spring sports season is winding down—and it's time to take stock. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly what I'm changing as I come out of one of the most stressful seasons I've had in years. We talk about the modifications I'm making: protecting my sleep, shifting from outsourcing meals to cooking as a family again, adjusting my workout rou...

You are not stuck because you do not know what to do next. You are stuck because you are carrying too much. In this episode, I am going one level deeper than last week's conversation about the gap between knowing and doing. Because for most high-achieving women, the real reason we feel paralyzed is not a lack of clarity — it is that we have spent years confusing capability with obligation. I a...

You've done the work. You've gotten clear on what you actually want. So why aren't you moving? In this episode, I am digging into the real reason high-achieving women stay stuck between knowing and doing — and it's not fear of failure. It's something more uncomfortable, more nuanced, and honestly more worth talking about. This is the conversation that follows last week's ep...

You’re hitting the goals. Crossing things off the list. Getting the promotion, the house, the milestones. And somewhere underneath it all is a quiet voice asking, “Is this it?” If you’ve felt that — and beenafraid to say it out loud — this episode is for you. This week, I’m getting honest about something most of us don’t talk about: the gap between what we’re chasing and what we actually want. We’...

You've tried the planners. The 5 a.m. routines, the gratitude journals, the "just say no" advice. And you're still exhausted. In my experience, burnout isn't a willpower problem. It's a nervous system problem. And until you understand the difference, you'll keep blaming yourself for something your body has been trying to tell you all along. In this episode, I'm br...

When my kids were little and I was building my career, I genuinely believed there would be a finish line — a moment when the chaos would settle and I'd finally feel like I had it all figured out. Spoiler: that moment doesn't exist. It just looks different. In this episode, I'm sharing what it really looked like to raise young children while running full speed in my career — the guilt,...

Spring sports season is in full swing, and if you're a busy parent, professional, or both — you know exactly what that means. Weekends away, packed schedules, and a constant pull between staying on track and surviving the chaos. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I plan ahead to protect my health and wellness routine when I'm away from home. From color-coded calendars and front-l...

You would never stand up a client. You would never miss a court date. You would never tell the people in your life you were going to show up and then just… not. But you do it to yourself all the time. And you've probably stopped noticing. In this episode, we're going deep on one of the most overlooked skills of personal leadership: keeping promises to yourself. Because self-trust isn't...

In this episode, Laura talks about the truth that's easy to avoid when you say you want more: your next level requires a different version of you. Better results in your life, business, health, and relationships do not come from wanting more. They come from thinking differently, leading differently, and raising your standards. Laura shares why growth is not just about doing more, but about bec...

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I manage my time, energy, and stress when life gets especially busy. With spring sports in full swing, work demands, family logistics, meals, appointments, and everything else layered on top, this is the season where staying organized is not optional. I talk about the systems that help me hold everything together, from syncing calendars and color coding sch...

In this episode of Be the CEO of Your Life and Business , I’m talking about something that matters just as much as setting goals: deciding what you are no longer willing to carry. As we head into Q2, it is easy to focus on what to add next: more goals, more habits, more strategies, more output. But real growth is not always about addition. Sometimes it is about subtraction. In this episode, I shar...

In this episode, I’m sharing my first-quarter review process and why it’s one of the most important things I do every year, both personally and professionally. I walk through how I use my vision board, quarterly goals, and regular check-ins to see what’s working, what needs to change, and where I need to make adjustments going into the next quarter. From personal wins like finally trying a Pilates...

In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics right now: how I’m actually using AI in my everyday life and in my work as an attorney and business owner. Like many professionals, I used to feel like there simply weren’t enough hours in the day to manage everything—running a law firm, serving clients, creating content, staying healthy, and keeping up with family life. Over the past year...

February was one of the most stressful months I’ve had in years. Two trials scheduled. One jury trial that didn’t settle. Weeks of preparation. Long days in court. And the mental weight that comes with knowing the outcome is no longer in your hands. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I managed the stress — not theoretically, but in real time. This wasn’t about pretending it wasn’t hard...

You don’t need more confidence to make bold moves. You need a higher tolerance for discomfort. In this episode, I break down why waiting to feel ready keeps people stuck—and what actually separates those who grow from those who hesitate. We talk about emotional regulation, faith in uncertain seasons, and why protecting your health and foundation directly impacts your ability to expand. Confidence...

In this episode of Be the CEO of Your Life and Business , I break down a simple but uncomfortable truth: I have been dramatically underestimating how much time I actually have each week. And you might be, too. We all get the same 168 hours. Yet so many of us operate from a constant state of “I don’t have time.” In this episode, I walk through how to realistically look at your week, account for sle...

In today’s episode, I share how I’m actively adjusting my routines to meet the realities of a changing season—personally and professionally—without abandoning what matters most. As life evolves, routines can’t stay static. I talk through the intentional changes I’m making and how I protect my health and wellness as the foundation that everything else is built on. This episode isn’t about starting...

If consistency feels hard, the issue isn’t discipline — it’s capacity. In this episode, I explain why even strong systems break down when your life has no margin, and why protecting capacity is the key to sustainable routines, health, and leadership. We cover: The difference between being capable and having capacity Why overloaded calendars sabotage consistency How margin supports health, focus, a...

High-achieving women are often told that exhaustion is the price of success. After many years of living in survival mode, I have learned this is not true—and I don’t live that way anymore. In this episode, I explain why your health and wellness are not optional add-ons, but the foundation that supports your career, leadership, and family life. We cover: Why sacrificing your health eventually costs...
