Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio! This episode is the final phase of The Iconic Reclamation Happy Mother’s Day, you beautiful, radiant bitch. It’s me, Diane, and I’m coming at you with a special drop straight from the heart. I’ve been deep in the self-care trenches lately (hello, journaling and hormone therapy), and this episode is a little love letter to all my mamas out there. We’re talking mom guilt, lost dreams, those wild cheer comp days, and why it’s time for YOU to invest in yourself. Not your kid’s private lessons. Not another travel tournament. YOU. So grab your coffee, take a full-ass breath, and let’s dive into this Mother’s Day message you didn’t know you needed.

Who were you before the world told you to shrink? That’s the woman we’re reclaiming in this final phase.

In the Iconic Reclamation Series finale, we go all in on becoming the brave woman — the one who leads with softness and strength, sets real boundaries, and lives fully in her truth.

You’ll get raw, soulful insights on what it means to come home to yourself, plus the journal prompts and mindset tools to start today. If you’ve been performing for the world and pouring into everyone else, this is your reminder: You get to be fully you.

We’ll get into how to:

• Show up as your future self

• Create real boundaries that feel good

• Lead with softness and strength

• Stop performing and start living your truth
  
  

This is a warm, deep, kick-you-in-the-pants kind of chat. And trust—if you're a high-achieving woman who's been pouring into everyone but yourself? It’s time to come home.

If “success” means burnout, exhaustion, and no joy left for you… it’s time for a rewrite.

In this third phase of our mini-series, we’re talking redefinition. That means letting go of hustle-as-identity and embracing success that actually feels good.

You’ll learn how to visualize your future self, stop hiding behind productivity, and make aligned decisions that create real change — all without sacrificing your peace.

I’m sharing the truth about what success looks like now versus what it used to (hint: it’s no longer about hustle at all costs). We’re talking about functional burnout, the invisible mental load, and the pressure to perform—and why it’s time to flip the script.

I’ll walk you through:

• What it really means to redefine success on your own terms

• How to start making moves your future self will thank you for

• The power of mental rehearsal (aka visualizing the woman you’re becoming)

• Why joy, rest, and pleasure deserve space on your calendar

• A few hard questions to help you stop hiding behind your busy schedule

This isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing what aligns. Let’s talk strategy with soul and why softness doesn’t mean weakness!

Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio! In Phase 2 of our deep-dive series, I’m guiding you back to yourself. We’re unpacking how to stop seeing your body as a problem to fix and start recognizing it as your most powerful partner.

If you haven't listened to the last two episodes (especially the one on regulating your nervous system), hit pause and go do that first. It'll all click better, promise.

Feel like your body’s a battleground instead of a best friend? This episode is your invitation to shift that energy — and finally reconnect.

This isn’t your typical “health and fitness” talk. We’re getting real about how your thoughts impact your goals, how to stop giving your power away, and how to start trusting yourself again. It might feel a little “woo,” but it’s the stuff that actually shifts things.

Let’s get into it!

Ever feel like you're crushing it on paper — goals, career, family — but inside you're totally drained, disconnected, and running on fumes? You're not alone.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're diving into a form of burnout high-achieving women often overlook — the kind that doesn’t look like burnout but feels like emotional exhaustion, especially after 40.

I’m unpacking common thoughts and beliefs high-performing women carry that slowly sabotage their health, happiness, and progress — especially after 40. Things like:
“I’m too busy.”
“If I slow down, I’ll fall behind.”
“If I’m not doing, I’m failing.”
Sound familiar?

We’ll talk about why this happens, how it’s tied to stress, hustle culture, and outdated narratives — and how to start actually regulating your nervous system so you can feel good in your body again. No BS. Just real talk, some personal stories, and practical ways to start reconnecting with yourself!

Oh, and if you missed last week’s episode — “7 Exercises to Lose Weight That Have Nothing to Do with the Gym” — definitely hit that one first for some helpful context.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

00:00 Kicking things off + why you should catch the last episode first

00:26 What burnout really looks like (even if you're still getting stuff done)

01:04 Those sneaky thoughts messing with your progress

02:18 Real talk: my story + what I hear from clients all the time

03:12 Why it's time to stop controlling your body and start feeling it

04:39 Stress is wrecking your vibe (and your results)

06:10 You can’t build a new life if you're stuck in survival mode

06:47 How I started taking my power back (and how you can too)

07:08 Are you doing too much? Let’s call it what it is

07:42 Newsflash: Rest is productive. You’re allowed to chill and celebrate
