Description
Summer is the time of year when it's easiest to fall off...your routine, your goals, your gym schedule, all of it. But what if balance didn't mean choosing between being disciplined and actually living your life? In today's episode, I'm talking about how I find that sweet spot, why I quit my nannying job to fully lock in on my own business, my biggest regrets from my early 20s and what I'm doing differently now, and why the fear of looking stupid or cringe is the thing that's actually holding you back.
I also share some NYC storytimes.. the Puerto Rican Day Parade, salsa dancing with zero skill, ordering ice cream in Spanish and saying the completely wrong word, and what years of nannying taught me about boundaries, leadership, and why so many parents are doing too much for their kids.
If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, an all-or-nothing mindset, social anxiety, or feeling like you should be further along by now, this one's for you.
