Most high-achieving women don't have a time management issue. We have an energy stewardship issue. We push, produce, parent, lead, care, and give until there's nothing left for ourselves.

During times of transition, especially summer, it's easy to slip into logistics-only living - checking off tasks, managing schedules, and operating on autopilot. As a leadership coach, I see how this task-focused mindset leads women to burn out and disconnect from what matters most. The solution isn't adding more to your to-do list.
