Impact with Ease

Turning Insight into Tangible, Real-World Change  Alignment Accelerator (part 2) Inside Jaime's private coaching session   What does real transformation look like? Just two weeks after her first call with Blake, Jaime was maintaining her energy, honoring her personal routines, and creating more balance than ever before- during her busiest season at work. The clarity she gained around her work relationships also deepened her understanding of what she truly wants in her personal life—and how to ask for it without compromise.   This is what alignment looks like in motion. Real, sustainable change that helps you work smarter, strengthen relationships, and show up with more energy for what matters most, at work and beyond. She was also facing another challenge that so many high-achievers can relate to: daily interactions with her boss that left her drained, second-guessing herself, and spinning in frustration. In this episode, you'll hear how we transformed what looked like a personality conflict into more effective leadership communication strategies. Through small shifts in awareness and communication, Jaime learned how to lead "up" more effectively, reduce unnecessary rework, and turn draining meetings into collaborative partnerships. If you've ever wondered about finding clarity and energy for meaningful relationships while succeeding in your career, or what executive coaching actually looks like in practice, this conversation is for you.   Episode Highlights   Small Changes, Big Impact  [03:00] - How two daily breaks transformed Jaime's energy [06:00] - Grouping tasks and protecting focus time   Transforming Draining Relationships  [10:00] - The real reason why your boss might be draining you  [17:00] - Understanding visionaries vs. implementers  [23:00] - The one-page recap that changed everything   Leadership Communication That Works  [29:00] - Being specific vs. staying vague when workload is unrealistic  [37:00] - How to have the conversation that changes the dynamic  [45:00] - Leading with humanity instead of blame   From Career Clarity to Personal Clarity  [52:00] - What do you really want in a partner?  [58:00] - The power of not compromising  [1:05:00] - Trusting what your body tells you: calm vs. chaos   Key Wins & Takeaways  [1:14:00] - Jaime's biggest transformations  [1:16:00] - The underlying pattern of it all   Powerful Quotes "The best leaders I know know how to lead the people around them." — Blake Schofield "Longer hours doesn't mean that I'm being efficient with my time." — Jaime "How we do one thing is how we do everything.

From Career Clarity to Relationship Breakthrough -   Alignment Accelerator (part 1): Inside Jaime's private coaching session   Jaime had finally built the career she always wanted — meaningful work, strong performance, balance she never had before. But between back-to-back meetings and long days, she didn't have the energy or headspace to focus on the part of life that mattered most to her — finding the right long-term relationship. In this behind-the-scenes Alignment Accelerator private coaching session, you'll hear Blake work with Jaime in real time to uncover the subtle habits and belief patterns that have been quietly draining her energy and keeping love on the back burner.  Together they explore how high performers can create the same clarity and alignment in their personal lives that they've mastered at work, without losing momentum or sacrificing success.  This is a real coaching example for high-achieving women navigating the tension between thriving at work and making space for meaningful relationships.

The Hidden Key to Sustainable Growth High achievers are taught to "raise the bar" — to outdo their best performance and push harder for the next goal. But what if that approach is actually what's keeping you stuck in cycles of leadership burnout, frustration, and exhaustion? The problem is that the "raise the bar" model only focuses on your ceiling — your best. It completely ignores your floor. It puts all the focus on having to overachieve what you've already done without recognizing the biggest opportunity in front of you. But what happens after years of operating that way? At some point, the effort it takes to beat your best starts to outweigh the return. You're putting in more hours, more thought, more energy, but the results start to flatten out. You might hit the goal, but it costs you peace of mind, presence, or health to maintain it. In this episode, Blake shares a concept that will completely shift how you approach growth – something that has helped create sustainable success and inspire personal growth for executives. She explains why the more you can shorten the depth & duration of your most challenging moments, the higher everything else rises. And it rises with far less effort. You'll learn how to identify & remove the hidden misalignments that drain your energy and slow your growth and discover how to create more momentum, impact & peace without pushing harder or "doing more." Because when you raise your floor, you're not just increasing your capacity. You're reclaiming your energy, your clarity & your peace of mind.   Episode Highlights   The Problem with "Raising the Bar"  [01:15] - Why the traditional achievement model leads to burnout  [02:00] - What happens after years of pushing harder  [02:45] - The hidden cost of always beating your best   The Power of Raising Your Floor  [03:30] - Why your lowest lows determine your long-term success  [04:15] - How sustainable success comes from minimizing friction  [05:00] - Research on burnout & productivity loss in the workplace   What Stops Us from Raising the Floor  [06:30] - The wrong questions we ask when we feel stuck  [07:15] - Shifting from "what's in my way" to "what do I need to operate at my best"  [08:00] - Real coaching example: identifying energy drains in 10 minutes A Real-Time Coaching Story  [08:45] - How one leader transformed her relationship with her boss  [09:30] - Using your body & emotions as data, not judgment  [11:00] - The pattern of misalignment & how it shows up everywhere   How to Start Raising Your Floor Today  [12:30] - A simple exercise to identify your top 2-3 energy drains  [13:30] - Recognizing the difference between flow & friction  [14:15] - How small shifts create powerful change   Powerful Quotes "Your long-term success, growth, and well-being are not determined by your highest highs. They're actually determined by your lowest lows." —Blake Schofield "Our emotions and what's happening in our energy, they're just data. They're not showing you a weakness in who you are or a judgment of who you are. They're just information your body is sending you." —Blake Schofield "Most people spend their lives trying to beat their best. But leaders who truly thrive learn to minimize their worst and optimize based on how they're naturally wired to thrive." —Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

The Leadership Advantage No One's Talking About Your mornings start with good intentions, but then, it's back-to-back meetings, lunch at your desk answering emails, fires to put out. You're busy all day, but you're not actually in flow or building momentum. By evening, you're exhausted, and the creative work that really matters is still waiting for you. But by then, your brain is already completely fried.  If you think this is just part of the job, think again. It's actually what happens when you're working against how your brain is naturally wired to function. For so many high-achieving leaders, the challenge isn't a lack of skill or drive — it's the invisible misalignment between how you're built to thrive & how you're actually working and living. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake Schofield explores what distinguishes transformational leaders in a world speeding toward automation/AI. Many of today's best leaders are secretly running on empty — not because they lack talent or discipline, but because they're leading against how humans are actually wired to thrive. You'll learn a fresh approach that goes beyond systems and tools, and instead focuses on aligning your inner wiring, beliefs, and environment — so you lead with ease, energy, and creativity. Whether you're a C-suite executive, leader, or individual high performer, this conversation will shift how you see burnout, leadership development, and the future of work. Episode Highlights Why Burnout Is Really About Misalignment  [02:30] - Why leaders don't burn out from doing too much  [03:15] - The three domains of performance: wiring, beliefs, environment  [04:00] - How misalignment steals energy, clarity & creativity   Your Internal Operating System  [05:15] - How most leaders work against their natural strengths  [06:30] - Understanding conation & your unique method of operation  [08:00] - Real example: How Blake's wiring as an innovator shaped her leadership style   The Subconscious Rules Running the Show  [11:30] - How subconscious beliefs undermine your best efforts  [12:45] - Why high achievers equate busyness with worth  [13:30] - Client story: Michelle's transformation from perfectionism to confidence   Environment — When Systems Sabotage Success  [15:00] - Why the wrong environment drains you, even when you "know better"  [16:15] - How to optimize human performance through alignment  [17:00] - The ripple effect: team dynamics & organizational impact   Powerful Quotes "Burnout is not about working too hard or too long. It's a chronic misalignment between how you're wired to thrive and how you're actually leading and living." —Blake Schofield "I went from going through the motions and feeling invisible to becoming the kind of leader I've always aspired to be. This program helped me reconnect to the passion I have for business and leaders." —Robin, client "I wish I'd met you 20 years ago. What you have done for me personally outweighs any career or financial gain I could have gotten through this program. I came in thinking the career was a holy grail and you were going to fix my career. But really you fixed me." —Michelle, C-suite leader   Resources Mentioned Kathy Kolbe > http://www.kolbe.com/aboutUs/kathy-kolbe.cfm Conation > http://www.kolbe.com/theKolbeConcept/what-is-conation.cfm   Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

The Breakdown Moment: How High Achievers Miss the Warning Signs  Do you know the signs that indicate you're near a breakdown moment? For high achievers, it's rarely obvious. We don't see it coming because we're so used to pushing through.  We normalize the stress, telling ourselves it's just this project or it's just a busy season. Or we believe that the next promotion, the next job, or the next vacation will finally make it better. But here's the warning most people miss: If you're in misalignment or you're making changes that don't solve the root cause, it's not a matter of if you'll hit the breakdown moment, it's a matter of when.  The problem for so many high-achieving leaders is the quiet normalization of exhaustion & the belief that pushing through will eventually pay off. But when you're in chronic misalignment, burnout at work isn't temporary — it's inevitable. In this episode, I share my own story of hitting breakdown three times in my career. Then my coach asked me the question that changed everything: "Blake, why are you willing to sacrifice your health and your life for a company that isn't willing to give you what you need?" That question changed everything. Logging back on to work at night to "catch up", feeling the "Sunday Scaries", asking for help but not receiving it and pushing through anyway, or waking up more drained than restored, these are all high achiever burnout symptoms signaling you're on the path to your own breakdown moment. If you're asking "How do I know if I'm headed for burnout?", this episode will give you the tools to catch the warning signs before something breaks.  Episode Highlights The 3-Question Burnout Risk Assessment  [01:15] - How to know if you're at serious risk of a breakdown moment  [01:45] - Signs of burnout most high achievers miss  [02:30] - Scores that are blazing red warning signs   My Breakdown Story [03:00] - Six months into my "dream job" & more miserable than ever  [04:15] - Crying in bathroom stalls & working till midnight  [05:30] - The Sunday Scaries & feeling trapped in an unsustainable cycle   The Question That Changed Everything  [06:45] - How my coach shifted my perspective  [07:30] - Recognizing 17+ years of sacrificing my life for my career  [08:15] - Why so many leaders reach this same breaking point   Why Burnout Cycles Get Worse Over Time  [10:00] - The gradual buildup of misalignment  [10:45] - Going through multiple burnouts [11:15] - Executive burnout signs that show you're in chronic misalignment   Powerful Quotes "The real question is, why are you willing to sacrifice your health and your life for a company that isn't willing to give you what you need?" —Blake's coach "If you're in misalignment or you're making changes that don't solve the root cause, it's not a matter of if you'll hit the breakdown moment, it's a matter of when." —Blake Schofield "The longer we stay in misalignment, it's like filling a glass higher and higher and higher with water until it spills over. We have to start reducing the water in that glass so that there's space to be able to start to create more positive momentum forward." —Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

The Burnout Epidemic: Why 8 in 10 Employees Are at Risk: What leaders must know to prevent burnout at work Ever wonder why work feels harder now than during the height of the pandemic? You're not imagining it. Employee burnout isn't new, but it has reached a boiling point.

The reality is that workplace burnout has reached epidemic proportions.  In this episode, Blake Schofield unpacks the latest 2025 employee burnout statistics, explores the true causes of burnout at work, and explains why old solutions like vacations, perks, therapy or productivity hacks don't work.

The real problem is chronic misalignment." "Burnout is not caused by a period of overwork. It's a chronic condition caused by leading and living in ways that are misaligned from how we're wired to thrive." "Most successful people don't realize they're in burnout because stress and exhaustion have become so normalized."   Resources Mentioned If you've been searching for ways to prevent burnout or you've been wondering how to increase employee engagement & reduce turnover and burnout in your organization, I'd love to support you.  Explore a partnership together at https://impactwithease.com/corporate-training-consulting/.

Like you worked hard all day but somehow didn't get the important things done? Maybe you're constantly putting out fires while your big goals sit untouched. You're crossing things off your list but still feeling unproductive because the work that actually matters keeps getting pushed aside. You know you need to focus differently, but everything feels urgent. The problem isn't that you need better time management apps or more discipline. This is about understanding that focus is more than attention – it's strategic alignment.  In this episode with guest expert Penny Zenker, aka "The Focusologist," you'll discover why productivity is actually a feeling, not a metric. You'll learn daily reset practices that will help you reduce overwhelm and improve your focus on what actually moves the needle.

That's how we create the space that we need throughout the day. And what if it was like a football game, you get three timeouts in the first half and three timeouts in the second half. So make more reset moments, give yourself six timeouts a day." -Penny Zenker  Resources Mentioned LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pennyzenker/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pennyzenker/ Distraction Quiz: https://pennyzenker360.com/distractionquiz/     Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Stop Repeating the Career Burnout Cycle: How to Break Free Career burnout isn't just a bad week at work. It's a career-long cycle that keeps repeating until you fix the root cause.  In this episode, you'll recognize the invisible tipping point that pushes high-achievers toward breakdown, and how to break the burnout cycle before it happens again. One of the most dangerous things about leadership burnout? It builds over years, even decades, creating chronic burnout signs most people miss. Today, I'm sharing how this career misalignment pattern works, why it's so hard to see when you're in it, and the moment that it turns from just a season into the tipping point that leads to breakdown. I lived this career breakdown cycle three times before I finally recognized I was in it and learned how to stop burnout. Over 16 years in merchandising across four different retailers, the pattern was always the same: six to nine months of energy and excitement, followed by that unsettled pull, less excitement, more drain, more stress, less fulfillment — classic burnout symptoms for high achievers. If you've ever felt the spark fade faster in every new role, or wondered why the same stress and tradeoffs keep returning, this is for you.   Episode Highlights   The Career Breakdown Cycle:  [01:20] - How burnout builds slowly over years, not months  [02:45] - Why "fixing the symptoms" keeps you stuck in the pattern  [04:15] - The silent shift at the tipping point most leaders miss   Breaking the Pattern: [05:30] - Why this cycle repeats in every job until you address the root cause  [06:45] - How misalignment accelerates breakdown moments over time   Burnout Recovery Tips:  [07:20] - You can stop the cycle without risking everything you've worked for Powerful Quotes "You can stop the cycle without risking your income, your reputation or everything you've worked so hard for. You don't need to blow up your career to feel fulfilled again." -Blake Schofield "Burnout is chronic misalignment. If you don't fix the root cause, you'll keep repeating the pattern across your entire career until you simply cannot do it anymore." -Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Whether you're in a corporate job, running your own business, or both—if you're questioning your next step or feel you're not at your full potential—stuckness is a signal to seek expert help.   If you're ready to reclaim your energy and momentum & create sustainable success on your terms, I'd love to support you through 1:1 coaching.

From Self-Doubt to Clarity & Confidence: Lead at Your Full Potential (with client Jay Bhakta) Have you ever had a big vision for your life or work… but deep down wondered if you were the right person to lead it? That's where Jay was when we first connected. On paper, he had decades of success & a vision to help kids build emotional intelligence & financial literacy. But inside? Old belief patterns told him he wasn't ready. Mental obstacles kept him second-guessing himself & the path forward felt unclear. Sound familiar?  For so many high-achieving leaders, the challenge isn't a lack of skill or drive — it's the quiet voice of self-doubt & the limiting beliefs that keep you from fully stepping into your potential. In this episode, you'll hear how Jay moved from uncertainty to clarity & confidence. Through executive coaching, he dissolved years of beliefs holding him back, uncovered how he's wired to thrive, & reignited his passion at work & in life. Today, he's no longer underestimating himself. He's leading with conviction, building his vision & showing what's possible when you operate from alignment instead of fear. If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to lead at your full potential — with clarity, confidence & the energy to match your vision — this conversation is for you.   Episode Highlights   Clarity Through Alignment, Not Just Process[06:45] - Why step-by-step guides don't solve leadership challenges [07:59] - Playing your game vs. being stuck [09:35] - 90% of stress comes from misalignment Overcoming limiting beliefs: [10:31] - Recognizing belief patterns that repeat mistakes [14:33] - Five ways transformation shows up Executive Coaching Unlocks Potential & Clarity   [03:24] - Being "hard to read" vs. being truly understood [16:25] - How quickly alignment gaps can be identified [18:32] - Lasting impact of transformation   Powerful Quotes "I had built up so many mental obstacles in my mind & those barriers kind of kept me playing small." –Jay Bhakta "Within a few minutes, you started uncovering things about me that I didn't even realize about myself.  Your ability to transform the way someone sees themselves is incredible. You've changed my life, both personally & professionally… and I'll carry these lessons with me for the rest of my life." –Jay Bhakta   Resources Mentioned Jay's story is such a powerful example of what happens when you stop trying to "push through" and start living & leading in alignment with how you're actually built to thrive.

The Deeper Reason You Feel Burned Out: Your Burnout Type™ has a Pattern Maybe you've switched jobs, taken on new challenges, or tried to slow down… but no matter what you change, the same drained feeling creeps back in. You're doing the work, hitting the deadlines, showing up for everyone — yet inside, it feels heavier than it should. You tell yourself it's just a busy season, but the truth is, this "season" has been going on far too long. Burnout doesn't always show up as collapsing from exhaustion.  Sometimes it's high performance without fulfillment. Or a quiet voice saying, "I've done everything right…so why am I not happier?" That's because burnout isn't just about stress or overwork — it's a deeper misalignment between how you're wired to thrive and how you've been working, leading, and living. And here's the tricky part: the way you've been operating probably feels normal. You've been doing it for years. It's how you've always solved problems, created results, and built success. But what feels personal is often patterned — and predictable. Your Burnout Has a Pattern After working with hundreds of high-achieving leaders, I've seen the same six burnout patterns repeat again and again.  Each has its own trap, its own warning signs, and its own way out.  Once you know yours, you can stop solving the wrong problem and finally take your power back. In this episode, I'll share a bit with you about the six burnout types™ so you can start to see your own pattern — and discover how to create success that doesn't come at the cost of your health, relationships, or joy.  There Is Another Way If you don't know your pattern, you'll keep solving the wrong problem. The moment you name your pattern, you can take your power back.   Episode Highlights: Understanding burnout differently:  [0:36] - A fresh perspective on burnout  [1:15] - Why burnout is chronic misalignment, not just stress   Your burnout pattern:  [2:33] - The six distinct burnout patterns and their root causes  [3:45] - How conditioning shapes your approach to success  [4:20] - Why what feels personal is actually predictable   Breaking the cycle:  [5:15] - Taking back your power by understanding your pattern  [6:10] - How to create success without sacrificing your wellbeing   Powerful Quotes "Burnout doesn't look the same for everyone. For some, it's emotional exhaustion. For others, it's stagnation, resentment, and feeling underutilized." –Blake Schofield "If you don't know your pattern, you're going to keep trying to solve the wrong problem. You'll keep thinking the next promotion, a better boss, or some time off will solve it, only to find yourself back in the same cycle months later." –Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Take the Burnout Type Quiz: www.impactwithease.com/burnout-type Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!

Parenting Without Guilt: How to Reconnect with Your Kids (at Any Age) with Jennifer Kolari "I want to be more present with my kids, but work always pulls me away." Are you a strong leader at work but feel like you're failing at home? You want to be more present with your kids, but they shut down when you try to talk, and you don't know how to fix it. Are you doing everything you can, but it still doesn't feel like enough? Licensed child and family therapist Jennifer Kolari understands this struggle first-hand. As founder of Connected Parenting, she's discovered that deep emotional connection, not control, is the key to raising resilient children. What she teaches might surprise you: the very moments when things are the most difficult are actually your greatest opportunities to build resilience and trust. Your Child's Brain Is Under Construction Worried you're screwing up your child without realizing it? This thought often stems from a misunderstanding about how children's brains work. Jennifer explains that children don't have fully functioning frontal lobes until around age 25. So you're not just a parent. You're a "substitute frontal lobe." When your child melts down, it's not defiance—it's neurobiology. Connection Is Medicine Jennifer's CALM technique triggers oxytocin release—the "love drug" that speeds learning, strengthens immunity, blocks stress hormones, and builds resilience. The best part? You get these benefits too. It's Never Too Late Whether your child is 5 or 25, it's never too late. Connection can transform any relationship, starting with small moments. Episode Highlights Understanding Your Child:  [3:51] - Jennifer's origin story with traumatized children  [19:47] - How oxytocin rewires your child's brain [22:57] - Why you're a "substitute frontal lobe"    The CALM Technique:  [27:50] - You can't regulate your child if you're not regulated  [31:11] - Four steps of connecting before correcting  [32:25] - Affect matching without escalating   Real-World Application:  [39:49] - CALM technique examples in action  [42:51] - Using self-compassion when you mess up   Powerful Quotes "Our children are our greatest teachers. Every emotional trigger, every piece of conditioning, all of the things that we did not resolve in our childhood will show up with our children." —Blake Schofield "Children are not mini-adults. Their brains are under construction. You are a substitute frontal lobe." —Jennifer Kolari Resources Mentioned Connect with Jennifer Kolari: https://www.connectedparenting.com/ The "5 Shifts of Parenting" That Bring You More Connection, Freedom and JOY as a Parent (FREE WEBINAR): https://www.connectedparenting.com/webinar  The Connected Parenting Podcast, sharing weekly science-backed techniques on how to parent your sensitive children: https://www.connectedparenting.com/podcast   Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!

Future-Proof Your Career: Why Reputation Isn't Enough Anymore with Jennifer McClure Are you successful, but just not visible in the way you want to be?  You've built a strong career and delivered results, but you're not sure people really know who you are or what you stand for. With AI reshaping the workplace and market shifts accelerating, you could be left wondering:  "What if I'm seen as replaceable?" After 20 years in HR leadership, personal branding expert Jennifer McClure has discovered a truth: reputation is earned, but it no longer guarantees visibility or opportunity. Your Career Isn't Safe on Autopilot The old idea of "just do good work and you'll get noticed" doesn't cut anymore. With AI changing the game, being known as "a hard worker" won't get you the recognition you want.  Personal Branding: Your Career Insurance Visibility equals opportunity. The people getting promotions are those who've made it clear what they want to do more of, and what unique value they bring. Your differentiators become career insurance: Decision-making abilities AI can't automate Curiosity and strategic thinking Leadership and people skills Your unique perspective Breaking the Myths Myth: "I don't want to seem self-promotional" Reality: You're already being perceived in some way. Make it more intentional. Myth: "Good work speaks for itself" Reality: Your boss isn't psychic. They need to know what you want more of. Build Your Brand Before You Need It Jennifer's advice: Self-reflect on unique strengths Get external perspective from colleagues Identify perception gaps Be intentional about how you want to be known   Episode Highlights The New Reality:  [00:37] - Why personal branding is job security in an AI world [17:17] - The "race to the middle" with AI and rising above it Breaking Barriers: [28:09] - Myths keeping high achievers invisible [35:04] - Simple brand-building for busy professionals Strategic Career Management:  [13:41] - Taking agency over your career path  [21:45] - Preparing for an unpredictable future   Powerful Quotes "What creativity, curiosity, analyzing skills can you bring to a world heavily populated by AI? How are you going to rise above that?" —Jennifer McClure "What you want to be is the most employable person. There will always be layoffs, but there were still people getting jobs during 2008 whose names came up when leaders asked 'Who's the best [your role] that you know?'" —Jennifer McClure "Curiosity, problem solving, innovation, leadership and people skills. These are the things that can't be replaced." -Blake "When you have that level of clarity and intentionality about who you are, how you operate, what are the best ways that you create the biggest results, you actually do less." -Blake   Resources Mentioned https://jennifermcclure.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermcclure/   Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!

Stressed About Money? The Hidden Trap for High Achievers & a Path to Peace with Joyce Marter "I make good money… so why am I still stressed?" If this thought keeps you up, you're not alone. Maybe you have a good career & nice home but you still worry about retirement, rising college costs, or just wanting to feel secure. Everyone assumes you've got it all figured out. Secretly, you're unsettled & wonder if it's enough.   Licensed psychotherapist Joyce Marter understands. While building her successful practice, she was outwardly thriving, but privately suffering with anxiety. What she discovered: money stress often isn't about the numbers, it's rooted in inherited beliefs & old emotional patterns.   Your Money Story Wasn't Your Choice The thoughts of "I should be further ahead" or "why is success so hard?" often come from generational experiences. If your family went through financial hardship, your nervous system might be wired for anxiety. As a child, you may have learned: money means danger.   Common inherited money beliefs include:   Working nonstop because "rest equals laziness" Thinking you must "suffer now to enjoy later" Feeling guilty for wanting more when you "should be grateful" Fearing investment because "money doesn't grow on trees"   Financial anxiety isn't a character flaw—it's a learned survival response.   Financial Freedom Isn't About More Money The truth: Your net worth is not your self-worth.   "Our money situation is how we are. It's not who we are," Joyce says. "Who we are is innate." Your value doesn't depend on your bank account, debt, or choices. True financial self-care means healing emotional roots of stress & scarcity. Building Financial and Emotional Resilience Recovery is about navigating uncertainty without losing yourself.  It's time to break old patterns & find peace.   Episode Highlights Your relationship with money: [0:37] - Why your financial situation doesn't define your identity or self-worth [4:11] - How inherited money beliefs create anxiety in successful adults Shame and mental health: [6:06] - The hidden mental health crisis among high-earners: when financial stress becomes dangerous [10:25] - "I should be further ahead by now": Breaking the shame cycle around money Growth & Peace: [14:54] - Why growth requires letting go (even when it feels scary) [21:22] - Three mindfulness practices to reduce financial anxiety starting today [29:28] - The future of work: Why your unique gifts matter more than ever   Powerful Quotes "Our money situation is how we are. It's not who we are. Who we are is innate, and whether we're going through turbulent times financially or not, that's separate from our worth." –Joyce Marter   Resources Mentioned Joyce's website: https://www.joyce-marter.com Financial Mindset Fix digital course: https://www.joyce-marter.com/the-financial-mindset-fix-mental-health-for-financial-wealth/   Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!

Burnout Isn't What You Think—Fix It Without the Fallout  "Is this really as good as it gets?"  You're performing well but still feel drained at the end of the day. Everyone assumes you've got it figured out. Secretly, you wonder if something's wrong with you. Blake Schofield understands. After 18 years in corporate, she discovered most leaders don't recognize burnout because we've normalized stress and exhaustion. Your Burnout Story Isn't What You Think Burnout isn't about hitting a wall—it's chronic misalignment. If you're constantly navigating cycles of high stress, lower energy, and feeling drained while still performing, you're in burnout. Common patterns include:  ● Pushing through because "that's what leaders do" ● Normalizing tension and fatigue as success  ● Choosing between work and life constantly  ● Believing productivity hacks, a vacation or changing jobs will solve it Burnout isn't a character flaw. It's a misalignment between how you're wired to thrive and how you're working. True Success Means Alignment The truth is that burnout is a symptom of misalignment. "The real issue is that tactics only work if you solve the root cause first," Blake explains. True success means removing deeper misalignments that create energy leaks and lead to dissatisfaction. When you lead with alignment, you can perform with clarity, confidence, and ease.   Episode Highlights Understanding burnout:  [00:41] - Why burnout is often more subtle and chronic than you think  [01:47] - How to recognize the signs even when you're still performing well The root cause approach:  [02:23] - Why most burnout tactics fail to create lasting change  [03:31] - How neuroscience-backed strategy uncovers what's really draining you Growth & Alignment: [04:18] - "You're not broken, you're not alone, and nothing's wrong with you." [04:21] - Learning how you're naturally wired to thrive    Powerful Quotes "Burnout is actually a state of misalignment. If you are constantly navigating cycles of high stress, lower energy, feeling drained at the end of the day, and not feeling as fulfilled or energized by your work, you are in burnout." –Blake Schofield "Burnout doesn't always scream. Often it whispers. Why am I so drained at the end of the day? I should feel more fulfilled or I should be happy. Is this really as good as it gets?" –Blake Schofield "You're not broken, you're not alone, and nothing's wrong with you. Fixing burnout is not about not being capable. It's about learning a new way to lead and live." –Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Burnout Type Quiz: https://www.impactwithease.com/burnout-type   Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!
