In this special episode, I have an honest and heartfelt coaching conversation with Madeleine Lambert, a young mom navigating the complexities of leadership, work, and family life. Together, we explore the challenges and triumphs of balancing a demanding career with personal responsibilities, touching on important topics like guilt, self-doubt, and the societal pressures of "having it all figured out." 

During a candid live coaching session, we dive into the realities of conflicting priorities and explore whether Madeleine’s struggles stem from a prioritization issue or an unrealistic workload. I share actionable strategies to help her feel more in control, such as implementing a task triage system and using tools like brain dumps to capture all tasks and reduce mental clutter. 

Join us for these valuable insights and let 2025 be the year you stop "should-ing" all over yourself and give yourself permission to set boundaries and pursue ambitious goals.

We dive into:

• Madeleine’s career journey
• The challenges of juggling family life and work as a female leader
• A special live coaching session addressing conflicting priorities and identifying the root causes of stress
• My favorite strategies for task management and freeing up mental space
• And more
