Ever feel like you’re running on fumes, but somehow, you just keep going? Like a phone with 1% battery, no charger in sight—yet you’re still pushing through? Eventually, that phone dies, and if we’re not careful, so do our energy levels, our peace, and our joy.
In this episode, Vanessa gets real about the mental detox high-achieving women and perfectionists desperately need. She shares her personal experience of juggling motherhood, entrepreneurship, and leadership responsibilities while barely having time to recharge.
