Struggling to keep up.... 

Even though you’re doing everything “right”?

You’ve built the career.
You’re capable, driven, and responsible.
And yet… life still feels heavier than it should.

There’s no secret formula (sorry).

But there is a way forward.

It starts with understanding how you actually operate.

Your stress response, energy patterns, boundaries, and decision-making - and building your life around that.

That’s the work I do ✨

I help high-achieving professionals create a life where success, health, and personal fulfillment can coexist - without burning out or constantly feeling behind.

My work blends:
🌿 Behavioral science + emotional intelligence
🌿 Practical tools for stress, boundaries, and clarity
🌿 Accountability and support so change actually sticks

As a founder, CEO, and mom of four, I understand the pressure and the juggle firsthand. I also know it is possible to create success that feels steady instead of exhausting.

You don’t need a perfect day.

You need three small wins.

Success isn’t built in big moments alone.

It’s built in the small, repeatable actions that quietly compound over time.

These 3 wins transform everything:

💪🏽 A Physical Win:
↳ Book walking meetings for 1:1 calls
↳ 60 seconds of jumping jacks before big meetings
↳ Match your coffee breaks with movement

🧠 An Intellectual Win:
↳ Delete one app that drains your attention
↳ Teach a friend or child something you just learned
↳ Create a "done list" instead of a to-do list

✨ A Spiritual Win:
↳ Send an unexpected voice note of appreciation
↳ Create space for 3 minutes of complete silence
↳ Leave an encouraging note on someone's desk

When you actively seek these wins, you'll spot them everywhere.

One win leads to another.
Success starts attracting success.

This is how progress becomes sustainable, and success stops feeling so heavy.

Which win will spark your positive spiral today?

Why some names come up first in important rooms.

(Hint: It’s not luck)

It usually has nothing to do with being the best in the room.

Names come up first because someone feels confident attaching their credibility to you.

That confidence gets built in small moments people remember.

People notice 👀

↳ How you respond when things go sideways
↳ If your judgment makes situations clearer or messier
↳ If working with you feels steady or draining
↳ How you talk about others when stakes are high

If you want your name to come up more often, focus here ⬇️

↳ Make it easier to work with you, not harder
↳ Be clear instead of impressive
↳ Follow through consistently
↳ Protect other people’s credibility, not just your own

Because opportunities don’t go to effort alone.
They go to trust ✨

Which of these matters most where you work?

Your title doesn't make you a success. 

Being easy to work with does.

This isn't just a work skill. 
It's a life skill.

7 ways to be easy to work with (and live with) ✨

1) Listen before you speak 
↳ At work: "Help me understand your perspective" 
↳ At home: Put the phone down when someone's talking to you

2) Make others feel heard 
↳ At work: "So you're saying..." before responding 
↳ At home: "That sounds frustrating" before trying to fix

3) Share credit generously 
↳ At work: "Thanks to [name] for making this possible" 
↳ At home: "I couldn't do this without your support"

4) Stay calm when others can't 
↳ At work: Lower your voice when tensions rise 
↳ At home: Take a breath before reacting to difficult news

5) Admit when you don't know 
↳ At work: "I'll find out by end of day" 
↳ At home: "You know what? I was wrong about that"

6) Ask questions that help others think 
↳ At work: "What would success look like?" 
↳ At home: "What do you think would help?" instead of jumping to solutions

7) Remember what matters to them 
↳ At work: Ask about their weekend plans 
↳ At home: Remember the little things they mentioned

The most valuable skill isn't on your resume.
It's how people feel when they're with you ✨

Stop letting work invade every corner of your life.

12 boundaries that put you back in control 👇🏼

Every notification. 
Every "quick question" at 8pm. 
Every weekend email marked "urgent."

They're not just interruptions. 
They're invasions.

It starts as dedication. 

But slowly transforms into a life where you are perpetually exhausted but never quite "done."

It ends now.

💥 12 Scripts That Command Respect:

1) "I'm offline after 6pm, but I'll get back to you at 9am" 
↳ Don't justify or apologize. Simple statement, clear expectations.

2) "I've blocked focus time until 2pm, happy to connect right after" 
↳ Assume agreement rather than asking permission.

3) "This needs my full attention, let's set 30 min tomorrow" 
↳ Position boundaries as beneficial to work quality.

4) "I don't check email on weekends - text me only if it's urgent" 
↳ Create a specific emergency channel, keep it sacred.

5) "I have a hard stop at [time], what should we prioritize now?" 
↳ Frame it as prioritization, not avoidance.

6) "I'm stepping away for an hour and will check messages once I'm back" 
↳ Normalize breaks as part of professional behavior.

7) "That time's set aside for deep work, can we meet [day] instead?" 
↳ Empty calendar time isn't available time. Protect it.

8) "This might be better over email - happy to reply thoughtfully" 
↳ Reframe efficiency as a professional value.

9) "I'm at capacity through [day], which task should I pause to fit this in?" 
↳ Make trade-offs visible rather than absorbing more work.

10) "I don't take calls during my commute - it's reset time" 
↳ Position boundaries as performance enhancement, not selfishness.

11) "Tonight is family time - I can jump in tomorrow" 
↳ Name what you're protecting instead of apologizing.

12) "That's outside my bandwidth - [Name] might be able to help"  
↳ Redirect without guilt or over-explanation.

Your boundaries protect what matters most. 
Make them non-negotiable ✨

12 Boundaries That Protect Your Time

You’re not behind in life.

You’re right on time.

It may not feel that way.

Especially when it seems like everyone else has it “figured out.”

But here’s what’s usually true:

1: You’re more selective
↳ You don’t chase everything anymore.

2: You know what doesn’t work
↳ That clarity only comes from experience.

3: You move with more intention
↳ Fewer decisions. Better ones.

4: You value peace more than speed
↳ And that’s growth, not laziness.

5: You trust yourself more
↳ Even when things are still unfolding.

Try this today:

Instead of asking, “Why am I not there yet?”
Ask, “What do I know now that I didn’t before?”

You’re not late.
You’re becoming ✨

10 visuals to sharpen how you think 

(and improve how you work under pressure)

Not motivation.
Not hustle.

Clear thinking changes how you decide, communicate, and follow through - especially on busy days.

(All visuals by @joazolins on Instagram)

1️⃣ Your potential is bigger than you think
↳ Most people underestimate what consistency actually unlocks

2️⃣ People are influenced more by what you do than what you say
↳ Behavior builds trust faster than explanations

3️⃣ You’re trying to fit too much into limited space
↳ Overwhelm is often a signal to subtract, not push harder

4️⃣ Small kindness has outsized impact
↳ What feels minor to you can mean a lot to someone else

5️⃣ Working tired isn’t productive
↳ True rest first leads to better work after

6️⃣ Short-term action beats long-term waiting
↳ Progress comes from doing, not planning longer

7️⃣ Trying and failing is how progress actually works
↳ Avoiding failure keeps things exactly the same

8️⃣ If you can’t do big things, do small things well
↳ Care and attention compound over time

9️⃣ Perfection often hides procrastination
↳ Refining the trivial stuff delays what actually matters

🔟 Starting is the hardest part
↳ Overwhelm peaks early, then eases once you move

Clear thinking isn’t abstract.
It shows up in better choices, better work, and less friction.
