  End of Year Overwhelm for High-Achieving Women │ Ep320

  Sep 29, 202611 minS8

  End of year overwhelm for high-achieving women is something I see every Q4, when work deadlines and holiday stress hit in the same week. As a licensed therapist, I talk about why Q4 feels so heavy and how letting go of end of year goals that no longer fit can protect us from burnout during the busiest season of the year. What You'll Learn ✅ Why Q4 at work and Q4 at home become two sprints that nobody else sees in full ✅ How the pressure to set New Year's goals catches up with us in the last quarter ✅ Two ways to tell whether a goal still fits, starting with how you'd feel crossing it off unfinished ✅ How to reshape a goal into a smaller version you'll actually keep ✅ A simple way to sort end of year goals into what you'll finish, what moves to next year, and what you're done carrying ✅ A guided reflection to find and protect time for yourself on your calendar this season Chapters 00:00 Q4 Reality Check 00:40 Welcome And Busy Season 02:21 Workload Meets Home Life 04:13 Goals And Q4 Pressure 05:40 Keep Or Drop Goals 07:25 Resize The Goal 08:28 Support And Coaching 08:43 Schedule Time For You 10:28 Final Encouragement Send us Fan Mail Support the show GRAB AN OFFER Free 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills Coaching for the Mom CEO: https://www.amigamoms.com Coaching for Child Therapists: https://www.thekidclinician.com Coaching & Community for Latinx Therapists: https://www.latinxpracticecollective.com ️ Shop My Favorites: https://shopmy.us/shop/counselorvdejesus ABOUT ME I'm Vanessa, the therapist who helps high-achieving adults become the best version of themselves, not just at work, but in the rooms that matter most.

  How to Stop Caring What People Think | Ep319

  Sep 22, 20269 minS8

  How to stop caring what people think is something I used to think came with age, but it's really about confidence, self worth, and stakes changing over the years. In this episode I get honest about aging into confidence in your 40s, and what my two year old is teaching me about wanting things for myself again. What You'll Learn ✅ Why the stakes actually change with age, and what that shifts in what you're able to shrug off ✅ Three real reasons your circle, your energy, and your evidence change how much you care what others think ✅ Why saying "I don't care" can sometimes be armor instead of the truth ✅ A guided reflection for noticing when you're still managing what someone else thinks of you Chapters 00:00 Childlike Freedom Returns 00:36 Welcome to the Podcast 01:09 When Opinions Lose Power 02:16 Surviving the Worst Case 03:23 Three Reasons We Stop Caring 04:37 Confidence Takes Evidence 05:45 Performing Not Caring 07:28 Guided Reflection Challenge 08:16 Birthday Week Sendoff Send us Fan Mail Support the show GRAB AN OFFER Free Resource: 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills Coaching for the Mom CEO: https://www.amigamoms.com Coaching for Child Therapists: https://www.thekidclinician.com/ Coaching & Community for Latinx Therapists: https://www.latinxpracticecollective.com/ ABOUT ME I'm Vanessa, the therapist who helps high-achieving adults become the best version of themselves, not just at work, but in the rooms that matter most.

  Stop Code Switching and Start Showing Up | Ep318

  Sep 15, 202613 minS8

  Stop code switching and start showing up: that's what I'm learning to do as a first gen, Dominican, high-achieving woman who's spent years adjusting my voice for every room I walk into. In this episode, I open up about the bridge generation, what code-switching actually costs, and what changed the moment I decided to show up as my authentic self instead. What You'll Learn ✅ Why the switching started long before she had a word for it, and why it never actually stops, it just changes rooms ✅ What it costs to spend years adjusting yourself so everyone else stays comfortable ✅ Why the timing of feeling "othered" looks different depending on where and how you grew up ✅ The unwritten professional and entrepreneurial rules nobody can hand you when your parents were never in those rooms ✅ What it looks like day to day to stop code-switching and let your full self show up instead ✅ One reflection to use this week to notice where you're still switching out of habit Chapters 00:00 Code Switching At Home 00:45 Hispanic Heritage Month Theme 01:38 First Gen Bridge Skills 04:04 College And Othering 05:19 Entrepreneurship And Loneliness 06:52 Dropping The Switch 07:58 Authentic In Every Room 10:20 Guided Reflection 11:23 Share And Closing Send us Fan Mail Support the show GRAB AN OFFER Free Resource: 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills Coaching for the Mom CEO: https://www.amigamoms.com Coaching for Child Therapists: https://www.thekidclinician.com/ Coaching & Community for Latinx Therapists: https://www.latinxpracticecollective.com/ ABOUT ME I'm Vanessa, the therapist who helps high-achieving adults become the best version of themselves, not just at work, but in the rooms that matter most.

  Chasing Gold Stars As An Adult | Ep317

  Sep 8, 20268 minS8

  High-achieving women don't need gold stars to keep chasing validation, we just found more sophisticated adult ways to earn it. As a licensed therapist, I see this constantly in the women I coach, and in myself. This episode is about what happens when you try wanting something with absolutely no one watching.

  Why Should Women Play Smaller to Prove They Rest | Ep316

  Sep 1, 20268 minS8

  Why should women play smaller just to prove they know how to rest? In this episode, I unpack the real difference between ambition that comes from fear and ambition that comes from something alive, and why wanting more and actually resting can be true at the same time. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why wanting more isn't something women need to apologize for, and why we don't ask men to prove they can rest before we respect their ambition ✅ The real difference between ambition that comes from fear and ambition that comes from something alive, and why it changes how rest fits in ✅ How to hold both wanting more and enjoying what you've built, without needing them to split evenly down the middle CHAPTERS 00:00 Poolside Spark 00:39 Show Welcome 01:03 Season Reset 02:02 Stop Apologizing 02:29 Summer Reality Check 03:20 Redefining Rest 04:55 Ambition Without Fear 05:57 Reflection Prompts 07:42 Coaching Invitation 08:13 Final Sign Off Send us Fan Mail Support the show GRAB AN OFFER Free Resource: 120 Coping Skills: https://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskills Coaching for the Mom CEO: https://www.amigamoms.com Coaching for Child Therapists: https://www.thekidclinician.com/ Coaching & Community for Latinx Therapists: https://www.latinxpracticecollective.com/ ABOUT ME I'm Vanessa, the therapist who helps high-achieving adults become the best version of themselves, not just at work, but in the rooms that matter most.
