  What did you think of the podcast? Send your comments here! Burned out even though you're doing everything “right”? The problem may not be your time management . It may be your energy management . In this episode of Female Fluence , Pearl Mashour sits down with leadership coach, author, and former Google executive Carrie Fabris to talk about burnout, energy management, working motherhood, decision fatigue, and creating sustainable success without hustle culture . Carrie introduces the concept of Return on Energy (ROE) and explains why a perfectly organized calendar can still leave you exhausted. She shares how an energy audit can help identify what is fueling you, what is draining you, and where your time and energy actually belong. For ambitious women and working moms who constantly feel pulled between career, family, leadership, and their own well-being, this conversation offers a different way forward. About Carrie Fabris Carrie Fabris is a leadership coach, speaker, author, and corporate veteran who spent more than 20 years working with companies including Google and Travelocity before founding CareerFrame. She is also the author of ALL IN: A Working Mom’s Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life , which challenges the belief that women must choose between ambition, motherhood, and a fulfilling personal life. Key Insights Time management alone won't prevent burnout Energy management can reveal what's actually draining you Decision fatigue can quietly undermine performance and well-being Working moms don't have to choose between ambition and motherhood Sustainable success requires boundaries, priorities, and intentional energy In This Episode Pearl and Carrie explore how to prevent burnout , the difference between time management and energy management, and how high-achieving women can stop measuring success by how much they can carry. They also discuss Carrie's Return on Energy (ROE) framework, energy audits, decision fatigue, working mom burnout, leadership, StrengthsFinder, investing in yourself, and giving yourself permission to redefine success. Instead of asking, “How can I fit more into my day?” this episode challenges women to ask a better question: Where is my energy actually worth investing?

  The Hidden Labor of Being a Good Daughter with Dr. Allison Alford

  Sep 1, 202658 minS3

  What did you think of the podcast? Send your comments here! What happens when being the “good daughter” starts costing you your own well-being? In this powerful episode, Pearl Mashour sits down with Dr. Allison Alford, author of Good Daughtering , to explore the invisible emotional labor many adult daughters carry within their families. From an early age, women are often taught that being “good” means being helpful, agreeable, selfless, and available. As daughters grow into adulthood, those expectations can evolve into caregiving, emotional support, family planning, crisis management, people-pleasing, and the responsibility of keeping everyone connected. Dr. Alford calls this daughtering, the often unpaid and unrecognized work daughters perform to hold families together. Together, Pearl and Dr. Alford explore how the “good girl” mentality, family roles, gender expectations, and generational patterns can leave women exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from their own needs. They also discuss how women can set healthy boundaries, release guilt, and build family relationships that honor both connection and individuality. Guest Spotlight Dr. Allison Alford is a communication scholar, speaker, Clinical Associate Professor at Baylor University, and author of Good Daughtering . Her research examines the invisible labor performed by adult daughters and how family expectations, gender roles, caregiving, and generational dynamics shape women’s lives. Her work gives language to an experience countless women have lived but struggled to name. Key Insights Daughtering is real, often invisible emotional and caregiving labor The “good girl” mentality can turn kindness into people-pleasing Being the dependable daughter can come at the expense of your identity Healthy boundaries do not mean abandoning your family Your worth is greater than how useful you are to others The conversation explores eldest daughter syndrome, people-pleasing, family caregiving, emotional labor, and the difficult balance between honoring your family and honoring yourself. Most importantly, this episode reminds women that setting boundaries does not make them bad daughters. You can love your family deeply without measuring your worth by how much you sacrifice.
