What to do When You Have Given so Much Away, You Have Nothing Left to Give || with Nicole Walters
About ProgressShow Notes
When was the last time you bought yourself a new bra? Or made your own dentist appointment as quickly as you make your kids'?
In this clip, Nicole Walters gets honest about what happens when a mom gives and gives until there's nothing left, and how her body finally made her stop. She talks about the stretch when everything looked okay on paper and she still couldn't get out of bed, and what it looked like to start caring for herself again.
If you're wondering how to be happier when life is full and you're running on empty, Nicole's answer is refreshingly small. Book a checkup with no goals attached. Practice saying one "no" a day, no explanation needed. These are daily habits, not a self improvement overhaul, and they come from a place of self-compassion instead of "I should be doing more."
It's a gentle reminder that self-care for mothers isn't selfish, and that personal growth and development can start with treating yourself like someone worth showing up for.

In this Growth Spurt, I share a moment from narrating my audiobook for Sticky Habits when I spotted small errors that survived countless rounds of editing. Spiraling into self-doubt, I had to remind myself that even masterpieces like Harry Potter and Oppenheimer aren't perfect — and that mistakes aren't just unavoidable, they're a necessary part of the path. The only way to avoid mistakes is by not trying, and that's the biggest mistake of all.
How many times have you caught yourself scrolling and immediately thought, "Oh no, I did it again. I seriously need more self-control"? I've done this too. We all do. But what if scrolling isn't proof that you lack discipline? In this episode, I talk with Ruby Ryba, author of How to Stop Scrolling, about a much more compassionate way to use our phones less.
Ever wonder why you feel like you have to hustle for everything, or why one critical comment can undo a whole good day? In this clip, Jessica Hottel gets honest about growing up in survival mode and how those early beliefs followed her into adulthood: the approval-chasing, the trouble resting, and the shutting down when she felt triggered.
After months of interviews for my book Sticky Habits, one question kept coming up: "How do you make time for self-care habits?" And it stopped me in my tracks. We love to say "just make time," but honestly? I think that reeks of toxic positivity. I spent a year and a half waking up at 5:00 AM to write my book while walking, doing strength training, and running on fumes — and it nearly broke me. You will never make time for everything — need, good, or worthy — and that's not just okay, it's the whole point. So let's talk about what it really means to make time for what matters, without losing yourself in the process.
Have you ever looked around your home and thought, "I'm just bad at this"? I've been there too — wrong-size rugs, bad paint colors, the works. In this episode, I talk with interior decorating educator Dani Watson about why perfectionism — not lack of talent — is what really keeps us stuck. Dani shares her own messy learning journey and teaches us that decorating is a skill anyone can build.
