Ever wake up in a cold sweat about an unanswered email? Or feel a persistent sense that you're missing something important in life but can't pinpoint what?

You might be experiencing "time anxiety"—a phenomenon that bestselling author Chris Guillebeau discovered affects people from teenagers to retirees, creating physical symptoms and deep existential unrest.

Chris shares insights from his research with 1,500 people and reveals the two types of time anxiety: existential (feeling like time is running out in life) and daily chaos (never having enough hours in the day).

More importantly, he offers practical solutions for shifting from trying to control time to being in relationship with it.

• The 40-minute check-in: A simple exercise to evaluate whether your recent time was valuable
• Time decluttering: Why clearing your calendar is more important than organizing your closet
• The gift of transitions: How adding 10-15 minutes buffer time can be life-changing
• Practice having fun: Why meaningless activities can be deeply meaningful
• Commitment over options: The power of choosing direction over keeping all doors open

Feeling stuck isn't about not knowing what to do—it's about not stepping into the fullest version of yourself. This feels extra hard to do when you're confidence is shaken after a major life transition - for me this was motherhood.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey on becoming a Mum later in life, putting my business on hold, and the major identity shifts that shook my confidence as a bestselling author and successful entrepreneur.

I reveal key strategies I used to reclaim my personal power and step back into feeling confident as the CEO of my business and as a mother, plus give you three science-backed methods you can use to reclaim your confidence in your own life and your next chapter.

• Why major life transitions (like becoming a parent) can shake even the most successful people's confidence
• The self-sabotaging story patterns that keep you small and how to break them
• The confidence formula: Belief + Action + Momentum = Results
• How to use your subconscious mind to "fake it till you make it" (the right way)
• The power of alter egos and acting "as if" to become who you want to be
• Why your environment and the people you surround yourself with make or break your success
• The difference between "expanders" and "limiters" in your life

Is it really possible to have it all — success, rest, creativity, and joy — without burning out? What if the secret to sustainable success isn't doing more — but giving yourself permission to do less?

In this deeply candid episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with my friend and money mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about business, burnout, and the courage to completely redesign your life.

Denise shares her vulnerable journey from peak earning (and peak exhaustion) to taking an 18-month sabbatical, selling million-dollar properties, and rediscovering joy through ballet and cross-stitch. We explore the seasons of entrepreneurship, the art of asking for help, and why giving yourself permission to change your mind might be the most radical act of self-care.

This episode is for every woman who's ever felt guilty for slowing down, struggled to ask for support, or wondered if there's more to success than constant achievement.

• Why “having it all” means redefining what all looks like for you
• The hidden costs of people-pleasing and over-functioning
• How to set better boundaries — in business, life, and motherhood
• The power of creating support (even when you think you "should" do it all)
• Why Denise took an 18-month sabbatical — and what she learned
• How to let go of what no longer serves you (even if it was once your dream)
• The importance of seasonal living and adapting your business model accordingly
