This week, I'm joined by physician, speaker, author, and TEDx presenter Dr. Shola Ezeokoli for an honest conversation about burnout, boundaries, and redefining what success really looks like for women.

Dr. Shola shares her deeply personal journey through medical residency, motherhood, and near-total burnout — including the moment she realized that having it all doesn’t mean doing it all. Together, we unpack the concept of the Strategic No: a conscious, values-based approach to protecting your time, energy, and well-being.

This episode explores:

• Why women burn out (and why it’s not a personal failure)
• The myth of “having it all”
• Saying no without guilt or apology
• Boundaries as an act of self-worth and leadership
• Choosing your struggles intentionally
• Motherhood, childcare, and invisible labor
• Feminine leadership and collaborative models of success
• Why people resist your boundaries — and what that reveals

If you’re a woman who feels stretched too thin, overwhelmed, or pressured to be everything for everyone, this episode is your permission slip to pause — and to say no.
