Do people constantly tell you, "You must be so busy"? Maybe they mean it as a compliment, like you're so productive and accomplished. But here's what I've discovered: being busy is exhausting, and it's no way to live your life. In this episode, I challenge the cultural badge of honor we've made out of being busy and offer you a different way to approach your life - one where you can do all the things you want without the exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm that typically comes with a full life. Listen in this week to discover how to create a better-than-busy life, and practical strategies for shifting from a depleted, frantic energy to one that actually energizes you as you move through your day. I'll show you how to work with your brain instead of against it, why you should plan your own needs first (not last), and how changing your thoughts about everyday situations can completely transform your experience.

540. Family Holiday Survival Guide
The holiday season brings gatherings with people we love, but sometimes those gatherings include people who push our buttons. Maybe it's that relative who always has something critical to say, or the in-law whose worldview clashes with yours. You know you'll see them at Thanksgiving dinner or the family holiday party, and you're already bracing yourself for the discomfort. This week, I'm talking about spending time with challenging family members during the holidays and how to maintain your peace when you're around people whose behavior you find difficult. Join me on this episode as I show you why becoming aware of your own thinking patterns matters more than analyzing someone else's behavior, how to set boundaries without judgment when needed, and how the shame-blame trap keeps you stuck in family drama. Most importantly, you'll learn how to tell the truth with kindness - the key to genuine connection even with people who see the world differently than you do.

538. When Good Women Stop Being Nice with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife
Many of us learned early on that being good meant following the rules, keeping everyone happy, and never causing discomfort. So maybe you find yourself saying yes when really, you mean no. Perhaps you agree to host the family gathering, even when you're already overwhelmed, or give in to your teenager's demands because you can't stand their anger. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife to explore the crucial difference between compliance and true goodness. As an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a PhD in counseling psychology, Jennifer brings unique insight into how religious communities can inadvertently teach us to abandon ourselves in the name of belonging, and she's here today to illuminate exactly how we mistake being good for being compliant. Join us today as Jennifer shares practical wisdom about the difference between being kind and being compliant, why prioritizing other people's comfort over your own integrity is actually harmful, and how to recognize when your resentments are telling you something important. This episode is your roadmap for moving from people-pleasing to authentic living while still maintaining meaningful relationships.

537. Have a Resentment-Free Marriage with Natalie Clay
Resentment in marriage often feels like an inevitable part of long-term relationships. That slow burn of frustration when your spouse doesn't help with the dishes, or the familiar irritation when they make plans without checking with you first. These everyday moments can accumulate into something that feels permanent and insurmountable, creating distance between partners who once felt deeply connected. This week, my sister Natalie Clay returns to the podcast as our resident couples coach to challenge this assumption. She brings a fresh perspective on resentment that turns conventional wisdom on its head - suggesting that resentment isn't about your partner's behavior at all. Tune in as we unpack Natalie's definition of resentment and how it creates long-term disconnection. You'll discover a simple filter for making decisions that preserve connection rather than breed resentment, and learn why saying "yes" when you mean "no" might be the real culprit behind marital frustration. Most importantly, you'll understand how resentment actually offers valuable information about your own vulnerabilities and growth opportunities.
