Shownotes
In this honest, kitchen-recorded conversation, she shares what it’s really looked like behind the scenes, why you are absolutely not behind, and how to rebuild a gentle CEO rhythm when your capacity is at an all-time low. Think tough love, suitcase floors, nervous system care, and permission to start where you are—not where you “used to be.”
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- What “Suitcase Era” has looked like: moving from Okinawa → Bali → Honolulu with a toddler and no stable setup
- Why feeling “behind” is actually a sign you’re using old standards in a new season
- How identity whiplash shows up when you go from CEO-in-flow to full-time stay-at-home mom again
- The difference between self-abandonment dressed as ambition vs true leadership
- How the Aligned CEO Ritual App became a lifeline during PCS chaos (and how you can create your own tiny ritual)
- A simple daily CEO rhythm: one relationship to nurture, one business action, one way to honor your body
- Three reflection questions to define the season you’re actually in and what you can realistically commit to
Your Tiny Action Step
Grab your notes app or journal and answer:
- What season am I actually in right now? (Name it: PCS season, new baby season, grief season, rebuild season, caregiving season, etc.)
- What is one daily CEO move I can realistically commit to for the next 7 days? (Present me, not fantasy me.)
- What can I pause or simplify—without making it mean I’ve failed?
Pin those somewhere you’ll see them all week. That’s your new starting line.
