S3E7: She Built Differently After Burning Out Three Times with Elysha Johnson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we have our first podcast guest of the season! Elysha Johnson is the founder of Open Tabs, a holistic operations consultancy for ambitious founders who are outwardly successful and inwardly depleted. With over a decade of experience as an executive assistant and operations leader inside founder-led businesses, Elysha has spent years inside the chaos she now helps clients escape — watching capable people white-knuckle their way to success at the cost of their health, their peace, and eventu
S3E6: Building Based on Your Season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s a question I’ve been sitting with. How much of your exhaustion right now is actually about the volume of what you’re doing — and how much of it is about the mismatch between the season you’re in and the season you’re planning for? Because I’ve noticed something. The most overwhelmed women I work with aren’t always the ones doing the most. They’re often the ones trying to produce at a builder’s pace in a season that’s calling for something quieter. In this episode I introduce the six R.E.S
S3E5: The R.E.S.T.™ Framework Unpacked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grab your planner for this one. Over the last four episodes we’ve been naming what’s breaking down. Today we talk about what to build instead. My signature R.E.S.T. Framework is the foundation of everything I do — and I’ve never broken it down this completely in a single conversation before. We go letter by letter: Restore, Energize, Sustain, Track.

S3E4: Have We Gotten Rest Wrong? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I want to ask you something. When is the last time you genuinely rested — not because you’d earned it, not because you’d finally finished everything on your list, not because you were so depleted you had no other choice — but because you had built it in? For most of us, that question lands differently than we’d like it to. We’ve been conditioned to treat rest as a prize. Something that waits at the end of the hard thing. And so we keep pushing, keep producing, keep promising ourselves that rest
S3E3: The Cost of Being the Reliable One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a woman I keep meeting. She shows up in my workshops, in my DMs, in conversations with friends over dinner. She’s the one everyone calls first. The one who delivers, every time, without complaint. The one who holds things together so well that nobody ever thinks to ask if she’s okay — because she always seems to be. She is not okay. Not in a crisis way. But in a quietly depleted, slightly resentful, can’t remember the last time I did something just for me kind of way. This episode is for
