The Missing Logic Behind Work Life Balance featuring Tracy Christopheron and Michelle Troseth

What would your calendar say about who you really are? I sit down with Kimia Penton, a transformational leader, keynote speaker, educator, musician, and author of Power, On Purpose, who leads large-scale innovation, AI, and business transformation initiatives for a Fortune 10 company. Together, we unpack why time management is really identity management and how Kimia planned ahead for her empty nest season by planting seeds early. She also shares how she decides which opportunities are most aligned, why every yes comes with a cost, and the one question to ask when your calendar no longer reflects your values: Who are you afraid to disappoint?

Ever feel like your calendar is packed but you still feel completely empty? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Bohrer, author of Resilient: The 7 Pillar System for Peak Performance On Demand, to talk about why chronic overwhelm is not a discipline problem, it is a capacity problem. Jason and I unpack why your calendar works like a mirror of your nervous system, the simple deposit and withdrawal exercise that reveals where your energy is really going, and a 90 second reset you can use anywhere to shift from reactive to regulated.

I help you break the cycle so you finally get your money's worth, and I'm even sharing a free course tracker to help you get started.
