Episode Synopsis

  THE WAKE-UP CALL Leah Remillet was working 90-110 hours a week, barely sleeping, and "crushing it" by every external measure—until she collapsed at the zoo and woke up on a stretcher, locking eyes with her terrified four-year-old. That moment became her line in the sand: Fix this or walk away. She went from 90+ hours to 20-25 hours with ZERO income loss—actually becoming MORE profitable. Now she's teaching women exactly how. WHAT WE COVER: The Breaking Point The unsustainable sleep cycle that led to collapse Why traditional "let go of things" advice doesn't work Repairing Your Relationship With Time How the way you talk about time keeps you stuck The mindset shift that makes 24 hours feel like enough The Systems That Changed Everything Outsourcing without hiring a team Batching, time blocking, and strategic automation The dinner system that freed up mental load AND taught her kids to cook Untangling the "Should" Stories Why we hold impossible standards (homemade everything, anyone?) Shame vs. guilt: the distinction that sets you free How to identify what actually matters vs. what you've been conditioned to believe The Power of Thought Why our brains are "incredibly obedient servants" The ONE question that shifts everything: "Show me the evidence I CAN" Retraining your default from fear to possibility MONEY LINES 👊 "I will fix this or I will walk away from my business. This will never be worth it." "What is the simplest way to achieve my goal?" "Our brains are incredibly obedient. Show me the evidence I can." "Time is my most precious gift."
