Rebecca Olson
About this episode

It’s part 2 of the Stop Surviving series, and today, I am talking with my former client, Ena, who once lived in a constant state of busyness and burnout and didn’t even realize how much she was missing. She shares how her life has transformed since joining Ambitious and Balanced: from running on autopilot to feeling joy in the little things, from defining her worth by productivity to finding peace and presence. If you’ve ever felt like your only options are “keep hustling” or “give it all up,” this episode will show you that there's another way. 

Topics in this episode:

  • How Ena shifted from burnout to balance—and what clicked first 
  • The myth that productivity equals value (and how she broke free) 
  • Tools to separate your thoughts, feelings, and actions for more control 
  • What it really feels like to be present with your family again 
  • Why it’s possible to thrive in your career and motherhood without guilt
