Ep. 139 Reclaim Your Time and Redefine Success with Dana Zellers
On today's episode, I’m joined by Dana Zellers. She's an executive coach, founder of Dana Zellers Coaching, and creator of the Career Control Framework.
In this conversation, Dana and I explore something we both witness daily. It's the constant pressure to do more, achieve more, and be more. But rarely do we stop to question whether it's actually working. Dana shares how to get way more done in way less time, without sacrificing your health, freedom, or personal life.
We explore:
- Why the “I don’t have time” mindset is a trap and how to escape it
- How Dana’s Career Control Framework helps you define success on your terms
- The surprising truth about freedom, productivity, and scheduling
- Why reflection, experimentation, and values alignment are the real productivity hacks
- How to stop letting your calendar control you and start reclaiming your power
Whether you’re a leader, a high-achiever, or someone feeling stuck in the grind, this episode is packed with practical tools and powerful shifts to help you design a career and life that actually fits you.
