🚨 We’ve been told women can "have it all"—but is that really true? Or is it just another impossible standard?


For years, women have been expected to balance career, family, ambition, and personal happiness—all while navigating pressure, guilt, and burnout. But at what cost? In this episode, I’m unpacking the truth about whether women can really have it all, why this question even exists, and how we can redefine success on our own terms.


💭 Is “having it all” even possible? Or have we been sold a lie? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!


📌 What You’ll Take Away From This Video:

✔️ The hidden cost of trying to "do it all"✔️ How I personally redefined success after leaving corporate✔️ How to create a career & life that actually aligns with YOU in 3 steps
