Podcast appearances and mentions of molly asplin

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Molly Asplin for a deeply honest conversation about identity, ambition, and what happens when the life you've built no longer aligns with who you truly are. Molly opens up about her journey from a decade in corporate finance to building a massive direct sales organization of over 1,200 people—only to have it all stripped away when her position was suddenly eliminated. That moment of loss forced her to confront a powerful question: who are you when the titles, achievements, and external validation disappear?Molly shares how that turning point led her to rebuild from the inside out, shifting from chasing achievement to pursuing meaning. Molly and Mike "C-Roc" dive into the trap of tying identity to what you do, and why true fulfillment comes from understanding your values, mission, and intrinsic motivation. Together, they unpack the importance of proximity—surrounding yourself with people who speak belief into you when you've lost it—and how leadership is less about control and more about trust, connection, and developing others.This conversation is packed with insights for high performers, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating a transition. From building scalable teams without micromanaging to breaking free from the noise of external opinions, Molly offers a grounded perspective on what it really takes to grow through uncertainty. If you've ever felt stuck in a role that no longer fits or questioned your identity beyond your work, this episode will challenge you to rethink success and reconnect with what truly drives you.Website- https://mollyasplin.com/https://www.instagram.com/molly.asplin/

Lesley Logan and Brad Crowell unpack a strategically bold conversation with high-performance coach Molly Asplin about the difference between high achievement and overachievement. They explore why many ambitious people confuse loyalty with strength and how that mindset can quietly lead to burnout. The discussion also dives into how most people are time-blocking their lives without accounting for their natural energy cycles. Whether you are defending a career you no longer enjoy or waiting for the "perfect time" to pivot, this recap might be the nudge you need to start. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the strategically bold convo I had with Molly Asplin in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, you can hit pause and go listen to that one, and then listen to this one. If you like to hear the ending first, I don't blame you. I love that. I do that too. Brad Crowell 1:23  She literally does that. Lesley Logan 1:24  I do. I actually tried to get my client today we're talking about the new Love is Blind season. And I was like, I'm only on episode three. She's like, well, I won't ruin it for you, because it's like, obviously she's all the way to Mexico. And those who know Love is Blind know what I'm talking about. And I was like, I don't even remember the names. You could tell what's going on. She's like, No, I don't want to ruin it for you. And I was like, you, I'm gonna Google it like, I know that there's ways to find out who stays together before the recap. So you can ruin it. Brad Crowell 1:49  Ruin it. Lesley Logan 1:50  Except for, you know, what? Brad Crowell 1:52  What? Lesley Logan 1:52  I thought that I would watch glitter and gold documentary, and I would just be okay, a little late to the Olympics, because, you know, I'll just watch it later. Like, not a big deal. You can just Google it later. And then we were listening to a podcast has nothing to do with sports, and they ruined it. Brad Crowell 1:53  Oh, I was laughing at you, because you Google everything. Lesley Logan 1:54  I know, but I hadn't Googled that because I was, like, I was trying to do it the way you wanted me to, and they ruined it. And, you know, when they ruined it, I'm just gonna tell you all in case, I'm gonna ruin it for you now, because you know what it's fucking March. You should know. I know the villains won like the villains won. Anyways.Brad Crowell 2:30  The villains won. Lesley Logan 2:31  Today is March 19th 2026, and it's Companies That Care Day. Companies That Care Day celebrate on the third Thursday in March to encourage employers to start caring for their employees instead of overworking or exploiting them. This year, that would be today. Yes, the happier the employees, the more productive they will be. Most importantly, employers must keep in mind that both physical and mental health can have an impact on the performance of workers. Hence, to have a long lasting there's a comma hence, to have a long lasting workforce that can produce quality work, employees must show that they care. This includes celebrating the success of the employees or honoring them in their great contribution to the company. We kick ass. I think, as best we can at this, I also think that if, like, more companies didn't have to make sure their shareholders were happy, they would make sure their employees are happy. Brad Crowell 3:13  Yeah, I know it's, that's weird, right? Lesley Logan 3:15  You wanna know what's really weird. I just saw a reel where they asked all the like head CEOs of the top health insurance companies, like, if they're publicly traded, raise your hand. They're all publicly traded. Okay, keep your hand raised if you also own a pharmacy. Keep your hand raised if you also own doctor's offices. So the health insurance companies and the states, of course, they are not only publicly traded, which means they have to make sure that they are doing as what they can for profit margins for their stakeholders, but then they own the doctor's offices who prescribe the prescriptions, that own the pharmacies that fill the prescriptions, which means they're in charge of whatever you pay, whether you pay or not, right? It was abhorrent. Brad Crowell 3:59  That makes it a monopoly. They own every part of the chain. Lesley Logan 4:03  Right. Disgusting. Anyway, we. Brad Crowell 4:03  Fascinating. Capitalism at its finest. Lesley Logan 4:04  Yeah? And here's the thing I'm not like, if you are a small business owner in this capitalist society, we do have to play with by the rules that are made. Your IRS is going to want to make sure that you are doing something that's profiting every year. Otherwise, they call it a hobby, but in that, there are ways to make sure that your employees are thought of and not overworked.Brad Crowell 4:29  I was gonna say that those guys are breaking the rules or not playing, or they have no rules for their game they're playing. Not cool, but I, but I agree shifting back here to focusing on companies that care.Lesley Logan 4:41  There's things you can do. There's this one female business owner that she forces the company to be closed one week per quarter. It's built into the schedules. They don't have meetings on there. That way, whatever employees need to do, they can do. Obviously, they could take vacation times other times. But like, you know that's gonna compound their work. But they have that to guarantee. The other thing that they have, they have paid family leave for all parents, no matter the gender. And they also have leave if you had to go to a hospital for sickness, things like that. Like they have all this extra leave. And also, you can take your meetings from anywhere. It's a rule. Wherever you want to take a meeting, you can take a meeting as long as you get your work done, it doesn't matter. That's one way you could do it. We have a wins channel, oh, it's a wins and gratitude channel where, like, different people on our team just thank each other for, like, what they're doing. It's super fun. We celebrate everyone's birthdays on there. And the win isn't like, oh, we nailed this launch. It's like, hey, so and so helped me with this project. And like, that is really fun. We really pride ourselves in that we built in, like, donating. It's not huge numbers. Like, no one's gonna, you know, go a wow, or put Lesley and Brad on the on the wall. But like, we built that in, like, there's ways to do things that make sure that you care in different ways. You just have to build it in. And then you do when you can do better, you do better, you know, so.Brad Crowell 5:53  100% agree, 100% and it's fun. I mean, honestly, it's been a dream of mine to have a team of capable, enthusiastic, yeah, human beings who are experts at what they do, and bring them all together. And it's been really, really fun to make that dream a reality.Lesley Logan 6:16  It's really cool. It's forced. It's also forced us, like, if we want our people to not overwork and get their work done in a timely manner, so they can be happy with their families and be we've had so many people on our team have babies and things like that, then that means we, too can, like, we have to show them that we take time for ourselves. Because otherwise, if they're like, if the boss never stops working, then I can never stop working, right? So those that's another way to care in a company like, if you're like, I don't have any extra. Brad Crowell 6:39  Lead by example. Lesley Logan 6:39  Extra money right now, then lead by example of what you want them to do, and you'll and then you'll build that in. And then the other thing is, like, that means we also hire people who care. You know, we're we were just talking today. This is, you know, you're hearing this in a month ago, month. I don't know. We're in the past, we're in the (inaudible), but we're trying to refill three jobs, and we're struggling to find people that actually aren't just using AI to answer all of the questions. Yeah, it's like, I love that you know how to use AI, but this job that you're gonna do doesn't use it and your personality matters.Brad Crowell 7:09  Well, it can, but that's not the point. We want to know you. Lesley Logan 7:12  Right, well, we're big fans of hiring a personality and trained skills. So like, if you are a bot, then I'm so sorry. We have a bot. We don't need a bot. We need a person who's cool. Anyways.Brad Crowell 7:26  Come hang out with us in Poland, March. We're gonna be there.Lesley Logan 7:30  Yeah, actually, Brad, it's March 19th. Brad Crowell 7:31  Come hang around with us tomorrow in Poland. Because that's where we are right now. Lesley Logan 7:36  Come to the event in Poland. Brad Crowell 7:38  We may or may not have recorded this in the past future. Lesley Logan 7:40  Yeah, and next week you can join us in Bruges, which I've been calling Brussels this whole time. And, well, it'll be in Bruges so.Brad Crowell 7:47  It's near, it's near. Lesley Logan 7:49  I think so also, I also wish I had known that, because, like, people said we're gonna be in Brussels. And then she said, Bruges, I'm like, there's a whole movie. We all saw it. Very hot actor, of course, we saw it. Brad Crowell 7:59  We did? Lesley Logan 7:59  Yes, Colin Farrel, Colin Farrel, right. That's a hot one. That's a hot Colin, right? Brad Crowell 8:00  Hot. Sure. Lesley Logan 8:04  Well, because there's the Colin Firth, not hot, but very great actor, then there's Colin. Is it Colin Farrell? What's his name? Brad Crowell 8:13  I don't know the movie. Lesley Logan 8:15  The movie is called, oh, I'm just messing with my camera. The team hates me, In Bruges.Brad Crowell 8:21  In Bruges is hold on. Lesley Logan 8:25  2008 Yeah, Colin Farrell. Brad Crowell 8:27  I have never seen this.Lesley Logan 8:28  Oh my god. It's so up your alley. It's totally up your alley. I can't believe you haven't seen it. I've seen it so many times. Brad Crowell 8:33  It's about a hit man who shoots people. Lesley Logan 8:34  Yeah, probably not gonna watch. Brad Crowell 8:36  I'm gonna watch that tonight. Lesley Logan 8:37  Go watch it tonight. Okay. And then. Brad Crowell 8:38  I will report back to decide if he's as hot as we're thinking is, I don't know if it's Colin Farrell. Lesley Logan 8:46  Yeah. Then after our second honeymoon in France, which we still haven't planned, but hopefully by the time you're hearing this, we have some idea, we'll be in London for Balanced Bodies On Tour, Pilates On Tour at the time recording this the last I heard about my my workshop says there's only room in the Sunday one, there's a few spots left xxll.co/POTis London. So you want to go to that, guys, we probably won't be in Europe for a while, and I don't say that to frighten you. Brad Crowell 9:14  Yeah, no, I think that's fair. I mean. Lesley Logan 9:16  Transparency and honesty are part of our value system. Brad Crowell 9:19  Here's the reality is, I'm very excited about the idea of going to Australia and New Zealand. We haven't done that together. You have. I have not. And I would love to go. And not only that, I want to spend time driving around in circles in Australia. That one's on my bucket list. Lesley Logan 9:33  Yeah. Yeah, and if you're like, oh my god, when are you coming? This is not planned. This is just, we're putting it out in the universe.Brad Crowell 9:39  What that means is that, if we're going there, that means we're not going here. It's what that ultimately means. And we are going to Cambodia, because we literally put down roots there. So, that will always be on the on the list but.Lesley Logan 9:50  Spring training is in May, and that is online. So if you're like, guys, I can't get on the plane anywhere, I don't have the funds or the time, or whatever, Spring Training, it's going to be all about getting overhead. If you're an OPC member, it will be free for you. You just have to register. Well make sure you check your email for how to do that. If you're not an OPC member yet, you can turn into one and then get it for free, or you can pay for it and then fall in love with us and turn into one, opc.me/events is all your what you want to want to do, so make sure you get the early bird information.Lesley Logan 10:13  Yeah, that'll put you on the wait list. Yeah. opc.me/events, so.Lesley Logan 10:23  Well, we have taken our sweet time getting into this interview, but we still have to answer an audience question. Brad Crowell 10:28  Yeah. So actually, RawsomeYoga from Instagram is asking, hey dou run your biz as an S Corp or an LLC? Lesley Logan 10:37  I actually love this question, because so many people we in our Profitable Pilates coaching years, we've been doing for a very long time. So many people say, my accountant says I don't make enough money. This is obviously, for the people in the States, I don't make enough money to be an S corp and LLC, so I'm a sole proprietor and Brad, why is that, Brad?Brad Crowell 10:57  Oh, I mean, first off, high level, I'm gonna, I'm gonna step back and try to keep this really simple, risk. It's all about risk management. Okay? And what do we mean by that? If the rest, if you're, if you're not in the United States, you're probably laughing, because everyone here likes to sue each other, and so. Lesley Logan 11:14  There's a lawyer for every 100 people.Brad Crowell 11:17  That's insane. Ridiculous. That's insane.Lesley Logan 11:21  Have you met a happy lawyer? Not me. They all become Pilates instructors. So anyways, so to go to just keep going risk is a thing. So if you're a sole proprietor and someone gets hurt doing Pilates with you, and you're in the States and you're a sole proprietor, that means your personal assets become part of what they can take advantage of. And so you want to be an S Corp or an LLC, they have there's different reasons to want to be one or the other, and I don't think we need to bore anybody with this, but you should already have been doing that. If you are a fitness instructor who takes money from clients to teach fitness, I don't care what your accountant says. They are not a lawyer. They're not a lawyer. So you want to pick one of those. Now in California, I can say we weren't S Corp, which was very nice for California and Nevada, I think we are. Brad Crowell 12:12  There's a couple of things to understand here too. Is that when people say S Corp versus LLC, technically they're confusing two things. Okay, so it's actually Corporation versus Limited Liability Corporation or LLC. So it's C Corp versus LLC, you can actually have the S election on both of them. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. So that is a conversation to have with your accountant. Why would you have an S Corp or an S LLC? That's a conversation that you should have with them, because that depends on a lot of different factors, right? But typically, what we're what we mean when we say, Oh, I have an S Corp, it means we have C Corp, a corporation with an S election for the federal government's, you know, understanding. And the reason that we would do that is because it's just a different way of being taxed. Okay, so again, that's why you'd have this conversation with the with your accountant. But high level, you know, the pros of an LLC are that it's, it can be owned by one person, it can be owned by multiple people, but all profits are subject to self employment tax. So like, that's where, this is where the big conversation is, how are you paying yourself? How are you paying your team? Do you have a team? You know, pros for an LLC is that it's simple, relatively flexible. The cons of an LLC, well, it traditionally was that, you know, and this is hearsay, because I don't have any proof on this, but the new guy at the IRS who was doing audits was always going through the LLCs. They were very rarely going through the corporations. Corporations are typically larger companies.Lesley Logan 13:48  Yes, that's what my accountant told me when he brought me into his office. You never want to get called in. Calls me in, done my taxes for like, two years, and he's like, Hey, we have to change how you're filing, because you're gonna get audited. Because people get audited the most are sole proprietors, and they are the bottom of the totem Well, actually, can't say that, because the bottom of the totem pole is the best of the people. I was just educated. So they are the youngest, newest. They've not like. All they do is like these and so, and they're easy, like, kind of, kind of be an asshole and audit you because you're a sole proprietor, and it's not a ton of stuff to go through, whereas the people who are auditing the S corps or the corporations they have supposedly have had more experience. So they understand that corporations have multiple locations for rent. They understand that corporations have multiple different types of write offs. So I chose a corporate because I was like, I want the best. I want to I want.Brad Crowell 14:40  Well also about that time we weren't married and you didn't have, like, the the there's a very clear tax benefit to having a multi member LLC versus a single member LLC. I remember this whole conversation, so because you didn't have a partner, no, then you went in the corporation route because it was better for taxing. So and then eventually.Lesley Logan 15:01  And then you proposed a month later. And I was like, Well, me, that would have been nice information a month ago. But at any rate, whatever you choose is going to be a conversation about your growth strategy, your goals for your business, with your accountant, and if you have an accountant that says you don't, you shouldn't do either of these. You should get a new accountant, because that person does not understand the risk, and they also are clearly not understanding, like your growth strategy.Brad Crowell 15:25  Yeah, no, I do want to clarify. If you're an employee for someone. Lesley Logan 15:28  Oh, this doesn't matter. Brad Crowell 15:29  Yeah, none of this matter, because you you know. And what I mean to say is, if you are only an employee for someone, if you're still taking clients on the side, this matters, but if you are not taking clients on the side, and you're an employee for someone, then what you need is just typical teacher liability insurance and youre, yeah, the studio.Lesley Logan 15:49  Make sure that you are classified as an actual employee. Oh, this is because way too many this pisses me off. It really pisses me off. Way too many studios are misclassifying their teachers as 1099s, right? Yeah. They're not W2. Brad Crowell 16:06  They're, correct. So what is that for people have no idea what we mean, so they're not employee versus contract. Lesley Logan 16:11  So they're treating like a contract. Brad Crowell 16:13  So if you are an ICA or an independent contractor, oh, IC, sorry. Brad Crowell 16:18  Yeah, an IC, that you so I don't a true IC means you make your own schedule, you have your own insurance, you have your own waivers. You take the payments, you decide how much money you're charging. True, true, true. You would have already even part of the conversation Brad and I had already. If you think you're an employee somewhere, but they are treating you like an IC as far as taxes go, and they are trying to sell to you like it's better for you, because it means you get write offs. Get write offs. You actually are under that risk part that makes me really nervous and then you would need to. Brad Crowell 16:46  Now we're talking like, should you have a company so that you can protect your own, like, house, car, 401(K) whatever.Lesley Logan 16:48  Let's say the equipment at the studio you're at breaks.Brad Crowell 16:55  Let me just finish my thought, is that if you're an employee, and only an employee and a proper W2 employee, then the studio has the insurance. So if, if someone were to sue, they wouldn't be suing me, Brad, the employee, they might. I might be named in the suit, but really, they're suing the company. Lesley Logan 17:16  Yeah, the company's insurance would do it, yeah. Brad Crowell 17:17  So then, so, yeah, that's the big difference.Lesley Logan 17:20  So you can see why I get really, like, I get really pissed when people are misclassified because you don't understand the liability that you're set under, and then they try to cloak it in, oh, it's better for you. It's it could be, yeah, if you know that, and you are insured properly, and your business is set up properly, sure.Brad Crowell 17:37  Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, hey, that was, that was welcome to Brad time.Lesley Logan 17:40  Send your question. These are things we do at Agency, by the way, in our office hours.

So we should be getting wins all the time, people, I'm gonna tell you that we're not getting enough wins.Lesley Logan 18:15  People, sometimes you guys, DM them to me, and I actually don't know if you want them to stay private, and so then I don't know, so I need you to send them into this thing so that I know that I can share it. I'm happy to celebrate in the DMs with you, but, like, also, you won't hear it on the pod, because I won't know if I can.Brad Crowell 18:34  Yeah, so be it pod.com/questions. All right, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to talk about Molly Asplin, and we're going to dig into, you know, why she has her podcast, what she does and how she is kicking ass and taking names. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 18:49  Welcome back. Welcome back. Let's talk about Molly Asplin. Molly is the host of the Dream It, Do It podcast, and a high performance coach who works with the with high achieving women who feel like there's something more or something different for their lives and careers than what they're currently doing and and I'm already like, ready to jump into the conversation, because I thought it was a really amazing thing to be a distinguish between over achieving and high achieving. Love this. Okay, anyway, after spending 10 years in corporate finance, she made the shift into coaching and now supports women in exploring what they're truly good at, what they enjoy, and how they bring more of that into the work and life that they love, whether they're pivoting into something new or finding fulfillment where they are. Lesley Logan 19:33  So yeah, I mean, I want to jump in on what you were saying. Because, like, I actually have only ever heard of overachieving, right? So when I heard the word high achieving, I was like, is that just like a rebrand of overachieving, but it's not. It's it's not. And as a recovering overachiever and perfectionist, I actually was like, Oh, I could still want to achieve things and not end up in my addiction. So, right? Like, I.Brad Crowell 20:05  I feel like, I feel like, you know, like, if you compared it to this idea of high performance, we've probably heard of high performance athlete, usually is, what is the next word that comes, you know, but, but it's very rare that you hear of over performance athlete. No, he don't, well, I mean, I mean, probably just because no one uses that phrase, but I think there certainly are those kinds of people.Lesley Logan 20:26  Well, anyway, she said, I think it was, I think it was I liked, that we finally got to, like, address that. Because I don't think on any of the episodes of having someone talk about, like, performance and achievement, that, like, we distinguish the difference between the two, and I think that that's really helpful. And then she also said, like, a lot of times with high achievers, and I would say, I would also say, with the overachievers, we, they. I said we, because hello, associate loyalty with strength. Like you say to yourself, I need to stick this out. I'm a loyal person. And this is something that, like, I come across a lot of times with. I just had a coaching call with one of our members, and she's like, Oh, this person's leaving in May. And I'm like, are they bringing you any benefit right now? No, it's costing me a lot of money right now. Why are they staying until May? Well, I mean, I told her she could, like the loyalty part of it, and I'm like, no, no, no, there's nothing. There's no law that says you have to do that. They're an employee at an at will state. Like, you can say, thank you so much for your time. This will be your last date. But, like, I understand this from a different perspective, and I'll share it like I think it's on episode.Brad Crowell 21:31  Y'all were talking about burnout, right, and being the person who is an overachiever, being in the environment, and then what are the story that we tell ourselves? We tell ourselves, well, you know, we might not even be like explicitly saying I'm loyal, but that's how I used to define myself. I'm loyal to a fault. Yes, well, the irony is that it was my own fault. I was hurting myself.Lesley Logan 21:58  I think companies that care come in as well, because like, so companies that don't care will take people like you and I, who are like, Oh, I'll help with that. Oh I'll help with that, and they won't go, wow, that person is taking on a lot. Maybe we should take some things off of their plate so that they can do these things, right?Brad Crowell 22:14  I literally just had this conversation with someone on our team who's like, this project is shifting, and in the interim it will, it'll basically come back to me, and I'll be handling this role of it. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I, that is not, that's not for you, that shouldn't be for you, and I'm grateful that you're willing to do it, but that's that's the wrong your efforts are better than that, like, bigger than that. Or, you know, the way you think is bigger than that. So how do we adjust it so that this doesn't land back on your plate? It shouldn't. Lesley Logan 22:50  Right and so I think, like, if you're someone who's like, because you said you would do it, you're having a hard time taking yourself away from it. Or you're finding yourself going, Oh, once this happens, then I'll give my notice. Or once this happens, then I'll break up with this person. Or once this happens, then I'll it's like the reality is, is like that somewhere in the waiting till this happens, you will take on something else for them and or something else. And so it's really important that you understand you can still be loyal and strong and a committed team member and stop doing it, like you can't, there's conversations that might have to be had, there's things, but I think it's important to, like, at least spot it in yourself, so that you can recognize when you're doing it. Yeah, and something that I'm having a hard time with in my own life is like, I know that I'm someone who is very present when I'm with you, like I try really, really hard to when a friend visits or a family member is visiting, not so much with people I live with, but the people who are visiting they're really hard to clear my schedule be really intentional about them knowing how much time I have all these different things, which means that I might not respond to a text for a bit, because I I can't be present in the conversation at the time. I would have to, like, sit down, think about it, answer it. I can't just read it and move on. Like, I have to, I have to close the loop, right? That's who I am and so.Brad Crowell 24:11  Well, also, too, it's not just that. It's like, it's like, if you're gonna say something and then that, you know they're gonna respond back, but you know you won't be able to get to that response, like.Lesley Logan 24:21  I can't do it. I That's not wrong. That's just like, like, I can't be there for the ping-ponging back and forth. And so for me, I am really trying to honor that about myself. I'm a high achiever. I don't want to be overachiever. Brad Crowell 24:41  You know, that's how they used to sell Slack. That was literally the the selling point. Lesley Logan 24:45  Keep the ping-pong going. Brad Crowell 24:45  Yep, no, well, not the key, not that wasn't, they didn't say it like that, but it was effectively like, you get to it when you when you can get to it. Oh, and that was like the selling point was like, Oh yeah, they can leave you a message. You can come circle back when you're ready.Lesley Logan 24:52  That is also how Slack feels for like, to me, and text messages feel like you're supposed to respond, you know, so, like, because I can't, because I'm working on just like, not over committing myself, I'm not responding, which is, in turn, you know, some people don't like that, because that's effect that's changing the boundaries and the status quo that they're used to. And I am working really hard and going it doesn't mean I'm not loyal to them. It doesn't mean I don't love them. It just means I can't do it right now. So I'm just sending that to you because, like, if you're trying to recalibrate, which is what Molly talked about. She said, if you find yourself defending what you're doing more than you're enjoying it, complaining about it a lot, but you're just fine at the same time, it might be time to recalibrate. And I think that recalibration means like, not just like going to a hotel and like getting a spa weekend and like, yes, or just that time, take some time to go okay, what? What can I change here? What can I share here? What can I ask for help on? Can I say, Hey, I know I said I could do this. It's taking a little more bandwidth than I thought. Is it possible to get some help on these things or postpone these due dates if you told family members you would do something, and that is like actually becoming something that you're frustrated by? Is it possible say, Hey guys, unless somebody really wants to do this, do you mind if I like, cater it? Do you mind if I like, is there someone else? Like, it's okay.Brad Crowell 26:04  Asynchronous communication tool is what that is called, by the way, down this rabbit hole.Lesley Logan 26:09  I heard the typing. I was like, what is he doing? What did I say? Anyways, I just, I just want to say, if, if this episode resonated with you. Hello, I see you. I see you. And you're still loyal, and you're still an amazing, committed person, even if you are taking step backs from things, taking more time on things, asking for space on things, it doesn't mean you're an asshole.Brad Crowell 26:33  Doesn't mean you're an asshole. Love that. Lesley Logan 26:35  Yeah, that's my next book. You're not an asshole. You need space.Brad Crowell 26:43  Well, I really loved when she was talking about high achievers, who are generally good at time blocking and getting stuff done, but they're actually not great at. Lesley Logan 26:53  They're not, naturally. Brad Crowell 26:55  They're not managing their energy well. So while they might be like, Okay, I'm blocking out this time to do this, I'm blocking out that time to do that.Lesley Logan 27:05  Brad, this isn't This is insane. This is, like, literally every single woman that we work with,Brad Crowell 27:10  Oh, I was gonna say it's very much me, too. Lesley Logan 27:11  Yeah, they're, you're, they're so good at time blocking, but not necessarily putting the blocks of time when the energy is there.Brad Crowell 27:19  And specifically what she was talking about, and this is what made me laugh, is it's one of I've heard this a million times, but for some reason this really stood out to me this time was when you're thinking what your brain is like at the best capacity, relatively early in your day, in the morning, And that's like science, right? So.Lesley Logan 27:42  Unless you're an owl, there's owls and larks and. Brad Crowell 27:44  Well, for sure that, for sure that is me. Lesley Logan 27:47  Daniel Pink wrote a book. I can't tell you which book it is, but you can just look up which one has time management there. And he explains there is, like, a small percentage of population who are naturally designed to be night people, but most people are beginning of the day.Brad Crowell 28:02  His book is called When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, 2018. So, When. Lesley Logan 28:09  You know what, it's crazy, I can remember when he said that in a podcast, and where I was walking home to our apartment in LA, but the title of the book not in there.Brad Crowell 28:18  Well, well anyway, so most high achievers are taking their morning when their brains are the best, you know, like processing time, and they're using it for dumb things like responding to emails or random things that set them down a side trail, when instead they shouldn't be focusing on like the big project that's going to move the ball forward on the company. Lesley Logan 28:43  I think that's the eat the frog mantra, right? There's the eat the frog first you do the big thing in the earlier part of your day.Brad Crowell 28:49  Yeah or, you know, hug the cactus, yeah. But, but the you're right, it's the eat the frog concept of, like, all right, get it out of the way, because your brain is functioning the best then, but we are letting ourselves be be taken down these other random trails by stuff that is not.Lesley Logan 29:09  After lunch, after I've had lunch.Brad Crowell 29:13  I mean, think about it, from the studio.Lesley Logan 29:15  I am the worst, the worst at creative stuff after I've had a lunch. Like, I, I'm a little different now that we've had the Adderall. I'm not gonna lie, like I actually wasn't pretty impressed myself what I did in the afternoon. But I naturally the I'm good at teaching and coaching. I can actually really present and pour into somebody else, but to, like, creatively, think about some project. No, no, that would be a good time for me to do my emails if I had to.Brad Crowell 29:42  Yeah, today was really interesting. I actually did my that kind of stuff, Slack, emails at the end of the day. Lesley Logan 29:49  Do you like it? Brad Crowell 29:49  Yeah, actually, I thought it was good. I mean, it didn't set me up for the phone call I had at five o'clock but. Lesley Logan 29:55  But it's a new system, so, you just said now, you had to figure that out. Brad Crowell 29:59  Yeah that was the first time I was like, oh, oops. Anyway, the point is that if you have a bigger project that's going to move the company forward, you want to do it in the day, like for studio owners, imagine, you know, waking up in the morning and the first thing you do is, like, pull out the dust pan and broom and you sweep the studio. You're like, wasting your brain on the on something that is just mundane. Lesley Logan 30:20  And just in case you're not a company or a studio owner, this could be, like, life stuff, you know, like a lot of people on the weekends are like, oh, I want to do this big thing. I want to, like, clean out my closet. But you don't do that in the morning. You like, go grocery shopping, you organize the clean the kitchen. Like, in fact, if you were to do that in the beginning part of your day, when you have a lot more energy, and then you did the other stuff at the slower time, it would be better. Brad Crowell 30:46  Yeah. Well, you know. Lesley Logan 30:48  I mean, Molly can tell you how to manage your time. What we're saying is, if you're listening to this podcast, you're probably someone who time blocks the fuck out of your life and doesn't have the energy to do what you've time blocked. Here's your sign. Brad Crowell 30:59  You know, I mean, also too, we're so distracted, right? It's so easy for like, I can't tell you how many times I actually caught myself today, which is really interesting, that I hopped on to dig into Slack, the chat, you know, to get through everything for the team. The first thing I did took me to my email, which took me to this other thing, took me this other thing, took me to this other thing. And then, like, all of a sudden, 10 or 15 minutes had gone by. I was like, what was I even doing? Oh, I literally got to one message in what I was trying to do, which was Slack, right? It's like, oh, okay, hold on. I'm this is not a win. Like, also, too, I the notifications on my phone, if my phone is up, it's like, every every two minutes. So like minimizing those that's important to do you know, but effectively, when you know this about yourself, if you can reorient your projects so that your morning or your when your peak time that your brain is functioning is when you're doing the thing that needs to actually happen to get things done, you're going to love life so much better. Yeah. All right, stick around. We'll be right back, because we're going to dig into those Be It Action Items that we got from Molly Asplin in a moment. Brad Crowell 32:09  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Molly Asplin? She was talking about pivoting to something new, like changing things, you know, in mid stride. Pivoting usually is like, I'm going this way and now I'm changing it to go that way, right? So she's saying that it's not about taking this big leap immediately. For her, she did it in a little bit more of a thoughtful way. She said, you usually already know what your next bold move is, just kind of inherently know. But the question is, when are we ready to tackle that thing right? And it's very easy to say, I'm going to get to say, I'm going to get to it, I'm going to get to it, I'm going to get to it. So how do we actually get to it? And she was talking about her clients, and she's like, you know, she had a client say to her, I want to start a podcast, and I'm going to do that at some point. And she's like, Well, why don't you start it now? And she's like, Oh, I guess. I guess I could start it now. Lesley Logan 33:22  Yeah, start recording. You don't have to figure it out. You can always add an intro later, like you don't have to have the name figured out. You could just, like, start recording yourself.Brad Crowell 33:31  Yeah, but, but, but that left her, that led her down to this tool that she uses that is like, one bold move a day, one bold, one bold, courageous move a day. And that means, after 30 days, you have done 30 bold, courageous moves, right? And so what is a bold, courageous move? What could that be? It might be like actually responding to the text message you've been avoiding. Lesley Logan 33:54  Yeah, that could be bold. Brad Crowell 33:57  It might be making the phone call that you're like, I just don't want to take the time. Well, if you do it when your brain is active, the most active, you know, it will be less burdensome for y'all.Lesley Logan 34:07  For my ADHD people listening, you'll be shocked how quickly it it goes if it's the phone call you've been avoiding, like, I hate, well, it's not, I mean, like, it's true. It's an actual sign of ADHD. So, and because you and I have it, and we attract people who are, like most of our listeners probably like, you're really good at, like, a lot of, like, big thinking projects, but like, you know, calling your accountant just feels like the most annoying thing to do, and then you like, thank God I got their voicemail. Like, you know what I mean? No, just me, but the other day, I had to make two phone calls. And I was so shocked that I was able to do two phone calls in five minutes. And I was like, whoa. Why did I put that off for like, 72 weeks, like, so I just would say, like, do it when you have the high energy for it. I like that. I like that.Brad Crowell 34:54  Yeah, you know, but, but, but then, like, also, too, it starts a progression, one bold move a day. Lesley Logan 34:59  That's how confidence is built, by the way, by doing the same. Brad Crowell 35:02  Messy action. Lesley Logan 35:03  And then, by the way, I'll just that'll go into my thing, think about that thing, and then you want to do the future and then do it today. Like, it's actually like, don't, like, Don't go, Oh, I'm gonna talk to my friend about doing it. No. Like, go do it. Send the email. Like, hire the coach. Like, oh, I've been really wanting to get on this dating app so I could find something, put the build up the profile like do the actual thing. Because one, you'll be surprised how quickly some of these things are able to be done in our head, that we've built up to be this hard thing that we have to do. Brad Crowell 35:30  Oh, me too. Lesley Logan 35:31  So take the actual action, and don't let that get covered up with plans of just thinking about it. I'll tell you one thing, one way to really irk my you know, situation is if you just keep talking about the thing you're going to do with me, I can't. I don't have patience for it. So I don't it's how, it's how I met Brad. Y'all want to know this girl friend of mine just kept complaining about the scarf she lost, and I had the exact same scarf. I love that scarf. And I said, if you want, you can have my scarf, the one that you lost. I have the other one, but you're gonna do it with Brad, because I just needed her to shut up, like, go buy a new scarf. Go call the thing. Go see if there's a lost and found or it's a fucking I can't so anyways, I'm clearly not the person to call for you to repeat yourself. I'm gonna tell you, take the actual action, and then if you want to understand how to get momentum going, she did share a free resource called Momentum Builder at mollyasplin.com/momentum.Brad Crowell 36:29  Yeah, that's Molly A-S-P-L-I-N dot com mollyasplin.com/momentum, it's pretty cool, like you can print it out. She she recommends doing it monthly, and it helps you build that momentum. And if you take one bold move a day, by the time you're done 30 days, you're ready to fill out another one of these Momentum Builders. Lesley Logan 36:47  This is so great for so many people I know who listen to this podcast or in Agency, because they're like, I just need to figure the system that helps me get the things done. Like, just keep writing new lists down. And this Momentum Builder. All right, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 36:59  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 37:00  You're amazing. We're so grateful for you. I hope you enjoyed we had Clare the last two weeks for the recap, so hopefully you enjoyed that she'll be back for a recap coming up, because she's excited about the guest so once, so you'll hear from her again. But we appreciate you guys letting someone else jump in on these recaps. Sometimes it's for me, sometimes for Brad, and we appreciate that you share this with a friend. So share this with a friend who you're tired of hearing them complain about the thing that they think they're gonna do. They won't know why you did it until this point. So at any rate, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 37:31  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 37:32  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

A former corporate finance professional, she spent a decade climbing the ladder while quietly questioning whether success on paper truly aligned with who she was. After navigating her own seasons of burnout and transition, Molly built a coaching practice dedicated to helping high achievers recalibrate, pivot with intention, and build lives that energize rather than exhaust them. As an entrepreneur and mom of three, she intimately understands the pressure to 'do it all.' Through her coaching and her podcast, The Modern High Performer (formerly Dream It, Do It), Molly blends practical strategy with mindset work, guiding women to manage their energy like athletes, recognize early “orange flags,” and take bold, aligned action without blowing up their lives. Today, she partners with CEOs, founders, and senior leaders to provide the outside perspective they need to operate well under pressure—proving that true high performance never requires sacrificing your health, your family, or waging a war with your own ambition. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox. https://lovethepodcast.com/BITYSIDEALS!

Like this comes up for a lot of high achievers. They're associating, like, loyalty with strength, and so like, I need to stick this out. I'm a loyal person. I want like approval. I do what I'm saying I'm gonna do, but it it might just be that it's time to recalibrate.Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:02  Hi, Be It babe. Okay. This is amazing. This interview is amazing. Get your pen and paper out. You're also going to absolutely want something that she is offering you at the end. And I mean it in like, those of you who like a journal, you're gonna like this like a like a planner. Molly Asplin is our guest, and she is an incredible coach for high achieving women, which is very different we talk about, than over achieving. We talk about burnout, we talk about prioritization of self. I really loved how she presented burnout and prioritizing yourself, and like ways to do it. It's different than I know we talked about a lot here, but it's different than we've ever talked about it. So I really am excited for you to hear this. I absolutely think you're gonna share it with a friend. There are some definite signs your friend is going to need this. And so I'm just gonna let us get into it. Here's Molly Asplin. Lesley Logan 1:49  Hey, Be It babe. I am super excited for today's convo, because when I was looking over like, what we could talk about, I was like, oh yeah, preventing burnout. I'm well, we're all in. In fact, I just had, literally had someone asked me, how do you know you need a rest? And I was like, if you were waiting until you need a rest to take a rest, we have a problem. But our guest today is Molly Asplin, and she is amazing. Molly, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?Molly Asplin 2:12  I can. I'm so happy to be here, Lesley. I'm a high performance coach, so I, too, am a recovering perfectionist, workaholic. I have beat burnout a few different times, and so I very much connect with what your what your friend just asked you. But yeah, I work with high achieving women who feel like there could be something more or something different in their life. I spent 10 years in corporate finance and was sort of driving to work every morning feeling like, is this really it? And I feel like there's something different for me, and I was getting promoted and moving up in the company and stuff, but I'm like, this, this doesn't feel like me. And so I had to make some hard decisions that sort of felt guilty for me at the time, because I'm like, This is what I'm supposed to be doing. This is what looks really good on paper. It's responsible. But then I pivoted and created, created my own coaching business, and now I really help women just find what they're good at and like, what they really feel like they have a strength in, and either pivot in that direction or, like, do something fulfilling on the side that brings more of that into their life. It might be a career, career transition, or it might just be stepping into more alignment with who they are.Lesley Logan 3:23  I love this journey because I feel it feels very familiar. I also want to just like a couple things. I want to point out there's a very difference to an overachiever and a high achiever, right? Like high achieving is not this thing that you have to like stop being or you should feel bad about. Overachieving is kind of like when we do a little, we don't know when enough is enough. Molly Asplin 3:43  Yeah. Like, overcompensating, right? Lesley Logan 3:45  Yes, yes. I also, I also really liked, you know, like, we all go on kind of a journey, and you talked a bit about, like, burnout, like, can you maybe share, like, what burnout looked like for you? Because I think it's a little, I think it's actually very similar for a lot of people, just different clothes, but maybe.Molly Asplin 4:01  Totally. So I was not having like, panic attacks or anything like that. I started to feel very restless, and I started to feel like my days were very monotonous and boring, I'll even say, and I started to feel like I was losing my edge, and I'm like, am I just, like, not ambitious anymore, or, like, what's going on here? And, you know, you hear, like, the rat race or the hamster wheel like that, all felt very real to me. And it was just like, yeah, is this really it? And so for me, it came in the form of, like, very mundane, like, I don't think I can do this my whole life. And then it led me to, like, question my ambition, when really I just I needed a change.Lesley Logan 4:45  I thank you, because I do think people are expecting the burnout to be a panic attack. They're in bed, they can't do anything. And it can actually be that you could be showing up every day to work, but bored and blah, like not overwhelmed or underwhelmed.Molly Asplin 5:01  Like, not alive, and I'm like, an alive person, so I'm like, something, something is up here. Yeah.Lesley Logan 5:08  Okay, so then, how do you, I guess, like, so, how do you go from, like, recognizing that you're burnt out to knowing, like, what tools to help? You know, because I do think it's a real question people like, how, like, what? How do you prioritize? How do you not burn out? And it's like, some of the obvious questions are, like, well get sleep and drink some water. But also, like, where do you start? Because once you're in the ditch, it's kind of hard to know where, how to, like, climb out of it. Molly Asplin 5:33  Well and it's interesting Lesley, because as a high achiever, and probably some of your listeners can relate to this, I was like, oh, well, I just need to get the next promotion, or, like, I just need a different job. Like, I start, I just, like, looked outside of myself, and I did some of those things, but then nothing was fixing the problem. I'm like, a few months later, I was like, back in the same cycle, and so I realized, like, I need to go inward on this, and I need to figure out, like, what's really important to Molly, and I so that's really when I went on my own journey of, like, self-discovery. And I started getting more into personal development. I started taking care of myself a lot better, like you said, sleep, water, working out. I, like, started carving out time for myself in the morning, journaling. And those things sound cliche, but like when you I think there is a compound effect with them, and for me, it was probably, like, after six months of doing that, I'm like, I I'm gonna make a transition of some sort, and like, I'm gonna do things, something that's like, way more aligned with my strengths and skills that I really want to use. Lesley Logan 6:37  Oh yeah, I am getting to, like, taking that time to like, who is who is Lesley, who is Molly? Like, I don't, I'm sure most of us haven't taken the time to do that since we were like a child. And even then, when did you have the time? Except when, like, you're a little kid, and they're like, Okay, what color is your hair? Like you're practicing, you know those things, figuring that step out. You mentioned, like, I'll just take another promotion. I resonate with that so much I had to quit a job because I was like, they're gonna promote me again, and I don't have to say no, like, I'm such a high achiever, I'm like, they're gonna offer me this gig, and I'm not gonna, I don't know how to say no, so I'm just gonna quit.Molly Asplin 7:14  Well, and high achievers that does come up, they're like, I wish I would just get laid off. Some of them will tell that to me, because they're like, I don't want to do this anymore. But like, I'm not going to decide to do like they wish they would kind of be forced out.Lesley Logan 7:27  Here's a sign.Molly Asplin 7:29  Yeah, that's a big sign. That's a big one. Lesley Logan 7:31  Okay, so then now that you, like, have gone through the burnout, you've gone the other side. You obviously like, help people with this. What are, looking back, like, what are some things that maybe we could see as, like, orange flags before the red flag of bored or, you know, for some people, panic attacks, like, what are some signs that, like, we're a little bit getting close to the tank is empty?Molly Asplin 7:54  Okay, so this is a big one, and usually once I name it, people are like, Oh yeah, I'm doing that, or I have done that, and it's, are you loyal to a fault like this comes up for a lot of high achievers. They're associating like, loyalty with strength. And so, like, I need to stick this out. I'm a loyal person. I want like approval. I do what I'm saying, I'm gonna do, but it, it might just be that it's time to recalibrate. And so that was a big one for me. Like loyalty to a fault. If you find yourself defending what you're doing more than you're enjoying it. But like defending meaning, like you're complaining about it a lot and you're like, but it's really flexible, but how life is.Lesley Logan 8:36  Yes, and by the way, this is not your job. It's just two ladies, like, sometimes this is your friends or your family members or your boyfriend or your partner. Molly Asplin 8:43  That's so true, Lesley, and so you'll you'll kind of know, like, now that I'm saying it, hopefully it brings awareness to it, but you'll notice like, wow, I'm really, like, kind of complaining about this, but then I'm justifying it. Maybe it's just time to take the facts for the facts and change.Lesley Logan 9:00  Yeah. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, I see that in so many people. I'm like, I definitely, I definitely can remember when I was doing it with the job that, like, I was good at, I was good at, and I probably had I taken that promotion, would still be there, and I'd make good money and have a very secure in air quotes ish job, but I would, I think I would have been bored, but I remember defending, oh, but, like, they have really good health insurance, or oh, but I get to work around these people, oh, I'm learning a lot, and it's like, yeah, at the at the same time, I'm also not sleeping because I'm so stressed out all the time. Molly Asplin 9:40  Yeah. Like, it's flexible, but you're not sleeping, so there's a problem.Lesley Logan 9:43  Yeah, not really, but flexible. Okay, I love those. Those are some good orange oranges flags or just some reflection things to be thinking about. So I guess, like, when you were on your journey, was it because you are a high achiever and you had, like, success, in what you were doing, it just was, you know, not exactly. It was like, all there, is this all there is? What was it like to make the switch? Was there uncertainty? How did you like because I feel like a lot of people, the biggest problem with, like, switching to something new is that, like, well, now I'm a beginner, but over here I'm an advanced expert. Like, it's hard to be a beginner again.Molly Asplin 10:20  It is. And I mean, I'm a pretty risk averse person, like my background is accounting, like, I'm very analytical, and so I didn't, like make big changes by, like, blowing up my whole world, and like taking this big leap immediately. I did it in a more thoughtful way, which I think a lot of people do relate with. And so what I recommend is, like, starting to take some bold moves, like, while you're in the mundane, the stuck, the orange flags or the red flags, but you can start to make some bold moves. And usually, you know what those are. Like, usually everyone kind of knows, like, oh yeah, I should probably start, like, networking, or talking with Lesley about something, or talking with my, you know, friend who is another high achiever, or I should make a phone call, or I should update my resume, or I should start doing Pilates. Or, like you usually kind of know that, like next bold move, and it's not usually like I'm gonna quit my job tomorrow, for most people, but if you can get in the habit of making one bold, courageous move a day. I do think it, like, keeps the stuck away.Lesley Logan 11:26  Oh, and also, like, if you think about that, in 30 in a month of 30 days, that's 30 bold moves. It's kind of amazing. I think we have to do five or 10, and that's impossible, and keep the stuck away. Like, I hope you make a sticker of that. So this kind of brings me to something that you're, like, really known for, which is, like, being her now, which is obviously a very be it till you see it kind of a thing, right? Some of the people I know, they're like, they just want, they want to just, like, cut it and go all the way over. They don't want, you know, but I'm always of the I'm also risk averse, because I didn't. I'm not an accountant by any means, and I'm sure every listener already knows that, but I would rather have a runway and, like, you know, like, a slowly, like, yeah, a little bit of a plan. And also, like, okay, as I have this over here, I can let go of this over here, and as this over here, I can let go and then, and then I can make a leap, right? Like, I don't have to have the bridge fully built, but just enough that I can jump off of it and land on my own two feet would be really great. So I'm a big fan, but a lot of people have a hard time because they're like, you know, I don't want to do this anymore. I want to do this over here. So to me, the being her now would kind of help with that, like, I don't know, would it?Molly Asplin 12:35  100% yeah, you need to, like, practice and start acting as if and walking into that right away. You don't need likely, another degree, you don't need more credentials, you don't need more proof, you don't need more time like you really do have to start embodying that and showing up at it as it, and I've had to do that in like every big transition or pivot. It's like, Well, I gotta just step into it and start acting like that, showing up like that, and then all the it's kind of weird. Lesley, you've experienced, I'm sure, and then all of a sudden it like matches, yeah? And you're like, Oh, I'm living out what I kind of wanted to live out.Lesley Logan 13:14  Yeah, yeah. It's really, I mean, it's really true. I mean, you know, if you're someone who's like, well, when I have this, then I'll be less busy. It's like, well, if you were less busy, what is something like, what are the things you would do with that time? And then, like, how can you, oh, I would go for a walk around my neighborhood with my dog. Well, how can you just walk up to the sidewalk and back? Like, how can you just start to put that in place and all of a sudden, you know, is that kind of it? Like, it's like, it's like, doing some of the things that that person would be doing.Molly Asplin 13:42  Doing some of the things like, I'll have women say, like, Well, I would really like to start a podcast someday. And I'm like, Well, why don't you just start the podcast? They're like, Oh, yeah, I guess I could. It's like, we're waiting for something to arrive when you literally can, like, start it now.Lesley Logan 13:58  Yeah, yeah. And if that scares you, you're like, I don't have an editor. You could just go live on something, you know, you could just, you could even, like, make it small and just go live, start going live, and then save the recording so that you have a podcast when you're ready you know.Molly Asplin 14:13  Here's another great tactical example, Lesley, I have a high performance client. She's got a great corporate job, and she's like, I really want to get into the self-development space and speak and train. And I'm like, why don't you practice doing that in said corporate job now? She's always like, leading meetings and things. And she's like, Oh yeah, I guess, I guess I could. It's like, practice the skill. Practice like elevating yourself in whatever environment you can right now, because you're going to need that practice for the big stage later anyway. Lesley Logan 14:45  Well, because I mean, like, and I love this, and it's going to sound like common sense when we say it out loud, but also, I think we all need to hear it like when you see someone speak on stage. That's not the first stage they spoke on. They spoke on stages that were much smaller. They spoke on stage with one person. They, you know, they did, they did the thing before they got invited to the big stage. So you definitely don't want your first invite to be the biggest stage you've ever been on. So starting with the audience or the pond you have is a great way to being her now and getting that experience. Molly Asplin 15:18  100% Lesley Logan 15:20  So okay, other ways that you because if you were busy as an accountant and you were high achiever and promoted and all these things, what are some of the ways that you actually made time for being her now to what that like merged into what you're doing now, like, was there some sort of, did you have a whole day to work on this thing, or did you do pockets of time? How did you make this work?Molly Asplin 15:42  Yeah, I think if you can. I mean, my accounting job was like, you know, nine to five typically, and I started, like, bookending my day with more of the things that I wanted, like, for me, that was my coaching business. And so I would definitely get up before a corporate job and start kind of doing some of these things that I have, building my social media and, like, growing my network, that kind of thing, and then same thing, like in the evening. And I still, I still do this now with like, sort of extracurriculars that I want to pursue. But, yeah, I think you've got to look at what, what do you need to do in that season to, like, pay the bills, or, you know, keep the job, or whatever. You can still do a good job at that while you start to create something else.Lesley Logan 16:29  Yeah, I kind of, I also like the idea of bookending it, because then you get to start your day with something you want, then you go to work. Yeah, you go to work and you aren't thinking about, Oh, I got that thing on my lunch break. I got that thing like you've already done some stuff. You've, like, kicked the ball into another court, or moved the needle a little bit, and then you get to end your day with that, which makes you get out of said job on time so that you can go to the.Molly Asplin 16:53  I got a lot more effective at my full time job during that season because I was like, let's do what I need to do at work so that I can get home and build the other thing that I'm excited to build, and then I would always rock it like Saturday mornings, Sunday mornings. You know, it's like, when it when something is yours and it's your baby, or you're wanting to develop it, or try something new, I really think you are excited to do it. I don't think it's like, oh, this other obligation. There's like energy within you that's like, I'm hungry for this pivot or this change. Like, let's see what I can do. Lesley Logan 17:25  Yeah, well, I think, like, if you're going to do something else, we're gonna add one more thing to your plate. You really have to it does need to be energizing. So that's a sign to me. But like, it's definitely something you're wanting to do if it's actually bringing you energy, versus, like, if it is just like, another thing that feels boring, you're probably doing something that sounds good versus something you want to be doing. Molly Asplin 17:47  Correct. Yes, for sure. Lesley Logan 17:49  Okay, so we know that the the recovering over achievers, the high achievers, the perfectionist there's this whole busy badge of honor, or like, I'm so burnt out. Like, there's this like mentality almost, of, like, bragging, you know, like, for a long time it used to be that the like, the there's a the tech bros and the CEO bros, like, I only do two hours of sleep, like, this is, like bragging, of like, how little they took care of themselves. But I actually think I'm, like, on the other side is, like, a lot of people like bragging about burnout, as if, like, they've achieved something and and then we all go, Oh, I know. And, like, we don't go, wow, that is probably not great. What's going on? So how did.Molly Asplin 18:28  It's kind of weird that we do that, isn't it? Yeah, like, we don't bat an eye. We're like, oh yeah. Same, busy.Lesley Logan 18:34  Yes, I, yes. Like, almost like, cheering it on. What? What is wrong? How do we prevent that.Molly Asplin 18:42  I know it's really weird, and I don't, I don't know if it's like that in other countries. Like, I feel like I have friends in Europe, and they're like, y'all like, you Americans are kind of weird. Like, why are you all, like, celebrating that? But it is a problem Lesley, and I think when you actually look at the research, higher performance is driven by, like, a similar cadence as an athlete. Like you can sprint and you can run and you can train hard, but then you better have a recovery day to, like, reset, recalibrate, get your creativity back. Right? And so there's, like, very much the research is there on like, you've got to take, like, a on a weekly basis, a weekly break, and on a monthly basis, another break. And on a, you know, on a yearly basis, the annual vacation, like periods of recharge are really important for a high performer. And you can probably think of people in your life who do that really well, and you will start to notice their energy. And you're like, yeah, she's not talking about burnout, and she's like, crushing it and getting her stuff done and going to bed, and appears to be a great mom, you know, like, you can kind of start to notice it on people, and I started to observe that, and I'm like, that's the edge I want. I don't want, like, the tired, depleted bags under my eyes, like, I want a vibrant, awesome life, and that means, like, I need to rest and take care of myself and recharge. And I can also kick ass on Monday.Lesley Logan 20:07  Yeah, yeah. One of the, one of the calls I had today, the girl asked, like, how do you know you need to rest? I think we talked about this meeting, and I was like, I do things for myself every single day, so I don't have to wait until my body shuts down to rest. Like, that's, that's actually, like, that's like, your car, like, if you go all the way down to zero all the time, you're actually going to ruin some tubes and other things like that, right? So you got to, before it's empty, you got to fill it back up. And someone goes every day? That's what they are going to say, every day. I'm like, yeah, every day. And I don't think that I'm crazy. Now, I can, I might be more luxurious with my time, because I don't have certain responsibilities that other people have. But every single day, I'm doing something so that I'm actually before I need a rest, taking care of myself. And I think that that goes to that preventing that burnout badge. It's like, I think we actually need to stop going, oh, yeah, you're burnt out, me too, and start going, Whoa. What are you doing for yourself? Like, what if we all as friends started going, Oh, what are you gonna do to, like, keep that from happening tomorrow?Molly Asplin 21:16  Yeah, that's another way to say that is, like, how are you sustaining I had a client who was just like, my goal is to like she was a realtor and kicking butt. And she's like, I want to sustain my energy through all the seasons, and I don't want to get to the end of the busy season and feel like I didn't take care of myself and now my health took a back burner. And I mean, I've seen people like, Lesley, you have a crap ton of responsibilities. I have a lot of respon, I have three young kids, like, I just don't think it's selfish to, like, carve out the time that I need to then be a better mom and a better business owner. It's not. And I also just heard a gentleman say this, and I was like, oh, that's fascinating. He was saying he's like, some some business owner, very successful. He's like, when people tell me that they're so busy, it immediately makes me not want to give opportunities to them, because it's showing me they can't handle what they have in their life. Like, why would I give them more? Lesley Logan 22:09  Yes, oh, I do think that that's really interesting. Yeah, I have, I had, I had someone go, Oh, I know you're really busy. And I was like, Oh, who told you that? And they're like, what it just seems like you really, just seems like you're really busy. I said, Oh, I have a lot going on, but I feel great. Look at me. Look at my two heads. And I'm like, I'm like, intentional about bringing that up, because I'm like, one, people, we make assumptions about a lot of people, and then two we, you know, I I have a full schedule, but it's full of things that I've chosen to do, and I've also there's, of course, there's things I don't want to do in my schedule. It happens to all of us, like, I hate a meeting, but like, got to do them sometimes. But then there's things I do to make sure that, like, I can enjoy the other things I have to do, right? Like, we all have things we have to do so, but I love what that guy said, and I think it's important for us to go, Well, how are you sustaining yourself? Like, oh, how are you doing that? And also, maybe you can talk a little bit like, how, how do you know what you need to do to recharge or to prioritize yourself, or to have self care? Because I think some people think it's going to the spa each week. And I actually think it's like, you know, water, sleep.Molly Asplin 23:19  Totally. I think you I think as you practice this, you start to know what's going to make you feel really good. Like, after this podcast, I'm going to go for a run. It's like, I'm ending my day. I'm in Central time, then I got to go get my kids. And I'm like, I know that if I go for like, a 20 minute run after this podcast, I will, like, reset myself for the evening. And it's kind of, like a good, like, reset for, you know, to go into parenthood, and so, but I've learned that because I've practiced it right, and I know, like that actually makes me feel really good. And, you know, for Lesley, it might be meditating or something like, I think you've got to try some of this on. Yeah, it's usually easy, accessible. It's not usually expensive. Like, it's, I don't think it's usually going to the spa, maybe on a monthly basis, if that's your thing, or whatever. But I think for a lot of people, it's so much can be so much easier than they're making it.Lesley Logan 24:11  Yeah, I think so. I love that you I love that you brought up that you are going to go for run in the middle of the day, like, as, almost like a switch gears to parenthood. I, you know, like, I, I'm known for having a pretty awesome morning routine, but somebody like, I don't have the time in the morning. Great. Do you have the time at lunch? Do you have the time before? Can you ask the neighbors, parents? Hey, can you do Tuesdays and Thursday I'll do Mondays and Wednesdays. Like, I think, like, we're so consumed with like, I've got to do all of it without that we're not realizing that there's resources around us that we could be using. To go back to that gentleman's point, if people say they're so busy, it means they're not able to handle it also means that they're not able to understand when to say, yes, no. And also, hey, can you do this? So I can do this over here. I can help you here. If you do this here, you know we have resources around us.Molly Asplin 24:57  Yes, 100% I agree.Lesley Logan 25:00  Okay. So I also want to talk a little bit about, like, maybe we kind of covered a little bit, but also, like, how do you honor your time? Because I actually am quite impressed that you can go for a run the middle of the day. The reason I have a morning routine is because I can't be trusted with, like, the afternoon routine. So how do you protect that time. Like, what did you have to do? Do you have to give yourself a pep talk. Is it just because you know you're gonna feel so good? Like, what does that look like? Because I think some people go, Oh, I'll do it tomorrow. This call just came in. Oh, my mom needs me. Like, you know.Molly Asplin 25:30  Yeah, this is such a good question. And I think, I think genuinely, or generally, high achievers are pretty good at, like, time blocking their day and, like, getting their stuff done, you know, if that's what we want to call it. But what I don't think we're always naturally good at is, like, the energy management of that. And so, yeah, in the mornings, I have a morning routine as well Lesley and like that gets me in the state of mind to, like, crush it at work, or to bring the energy. And then I always know like, I'm gonna hit kind of a lull around like noon in my work day. I know that if I can do certain activities in the morning, my energy is like better. It's when I can do like, deep work strategy. Most high achievers are not using their first hour of the work day effectively. You know they're like, input overload, notifications, emails, like social media, Zoom calls, when you really do want to be spending that first hour of your work day doing something more strategic, something more creative, something that you're like, I need to, like, move the needle on this, and I can't just like, squeeze it in the cracks of the day. And so I just started to notice, like, all these trends about my own, like, energy management throughout the day, and I've worked really hard to, like, set up my calendar around that. And I know not everyone has that luxury, but I also work with a lot of corporate clients that I have, and they they'll start blocking out, like, nine to 10am in the morning, and they're like, I'm not no meetings during that time, you know, to the best of their ability. And so I think this is like an edge to almost getting more time back in your schedule, because you you do become a lot more effective. Lesley Logan 26:52  Yeah. I feel I like that you brought up that like the input I can I feel that, because sometimes I will make the mistake of like, well, let me go into Slack before I go do this project. And it's like.Molly Asplin 27:22  I know we've all done it. And then you're immediately like, why?Lesley Logan 27:26  Why did I do that? What was I doing? Because now my head is over here when I need to be on doing this, and I don't. I actually don't have the creative energy to do this. And so I also want to just like, say, like, it sounds a bit like you got to give your you had to give yourself time to be curious and be on experiment mode, which is where it's hard for the perfectionist, because, like, you're gonna it's gonna take some time to figure out the right schedule for you.Molly Asplin 27:49  It will, because everyone's like, responsibilities do look a little bit different if you can't focus, or you're just distracted constantly, like, you do really want to be thinking about these things, because that means, like, yeah, you're spending time doing stuff. But it doesn't sound like it's effective time. And so I just got, I got sick of having days like that, like, that's that's because that's why I've gotten good at this. Because I was tired of, like, letting my days pass by and being like, what? What did I even do? Lesley Logan 28:15  Yeah, yeah. I feel that I had a little extra time yesterday. I was like, wow, this one this week is really nice. I have extra time. And then I, like, looked ahead and I was like, oh, you know what, the next few days are a little full. What else is on the schedule for the rest of this week that I could just, like, do with this? I have energy right now. I've got energy. I've got creativity. I'm going to do that. You know, I could check the email one more time, but that's annoying. Like, I'm going to do that, and then I'm going to just take time to give myself something, because I know the next couple days are gonna be full, and it it took me a long time to get there. I used to have a very I mean, I used to take I used to have clients hour by hour by hour, and then, okay, I could only do this during this time. And it was, it worked. It was a hustle season that I could do. But at one point I was like, okay, when I am her and I get to be more in charge of my schedule. Here's what I want to do with these times. And so then when I had, like, a client late cancel, I was like, oh, during that time, I really wanted to be doing this. So I can go do that now, because I had a plan for it. So I think it's it takes time to get you to know yourself, and then also the seasons, because I imagine where you are the winter changes how you prioritize yourself, than you do in the summer.Molly Asplin 29:20  Yeah, it does. The seasons and, like, everyone has work seasons too, right? Like, work seasonality, you know, like, it's a little bit of a slower work season for me right now. It's, it's June and and so I have the ability to go for a run at 4pm that's cool, but that's not always the season. And so I think you just have to kind of honor what it looks like for you, but like, leverage it when you can.Lesley Logan 29:42  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, and just like, how did you kind of get over the feeling? Like, did you ever feel selfish as you were doing these things? Did you ever feel guilty? Because, like, I'm not a mom, so I don't have mom guilt. But like, every one of my mom friends, it's like, the guilt is real, and I'm always like going, I think that there's like, I think you're not alone. But also, can we, like, ask someone like, what are we doing here? How did you get there, aside from, like, just like, you felt better when you did it?Molly Asplin 30:12  I started noticing, like, how much more patient I was with my kids. Like, I learned this very early on. I have three kids now, six, four and two, and I was like, you know, when I work out or when I get up an hour before them, ideally, in the morning, which is what I do most mornings. I am like, I'm ready when they wake up and when I don't, and they're like, my alarm. I'm crabby and snappy and impatient at them. And so, you know, there's this thing, like, you can't pour from an empty cup. Like, I feel like that's all over with motherhood. But it is, it is true. And like, the moment I work with moms on this, they start, like, carving out this time for themselves. They're like, wow. I'm like, such a better mom. I'm like, yeah, I told you, yeah. But it's, it is really real. And listen, there's seasons, like postpartum and where you just, you can't, like you're it's, you know, physically and sleep sometimes it's just, you got to honor those seasons. But once my kids are sleeping through the night, mostly, yeah, like, I don't have any issue being selfish with my time.Lesley Logan 31:18  Yeah, yeah. Well, I also thank you for sharing that, and also their ages. I appreciate that, because I think so many people will just make excuses. Oh, well, you know, they're probably older or, Oh, the six. That's a tight schedule there.Molly Asplin 31:32  It's rough. It's not always pretty, but even even 30 minutes, right? It's like, start small. It just makes such a difference. When I can hear myself think, ideally, move my body before they are up.Lesley Logan 31:44  Yeah, I appreciate you sharing that so much. I just, I have this I want to take away as many excuses from people putting up one more obstacle of why they have to wait or they can't have time in their day for themselves. And it's true, depending on the season you're in, maybe it's 15 minutes maybe, like, my girlfriend had twins, like, like, okay, you know, I was just like, we visited her, and I was like, I was like, don't even look at me. Just like, whatever you need to do. Like, do you want me to like, do I just look at the kid? Do I like, pat a cake? Like, what do we need? How can I actually help you so that you can have some time for yourself? But like, you have to know that that's a very different time than when they're two and when they're four, and then giving yourself greater, like easier expectations of yourself is also just so important. But at some point you have to go, Okay, if they're not infants, right? If they can tell you when they're hungry, what are you doing to make sure that you're you're the you you want to be with them or with your friends or your co workers or your family or anything like that?Molly Asplin 32:45  Yeah. And it's almost like the be her now Lesley, like, I just knew, like, if I could work on these things before kids, and then if I can work on those things while my kids are little. And, yeah, it's crazy. Like, well, that your habits transfer with you, you know? And then you can refine and tweak them and adjust them. But I just think the faster you can step into the things you really want to be doing, the better you can get on at it, versus just continuing to kick the can down the road.Lesley Logan 33:13  Yeah, I agree. What are you most excited about right now?Molly Asplin 33:17  Oh my gosh, I'm excited about so I went through a career transition about six months ago, and when I did it, I was like, you know what? I'm going to make this season more enjoyable than my last? Like, I think with every transition and pivot, we are smarter and wiser, and so I've just, I've been having a lot of fun in this season, like, with girlfriends, and I'm, like, traveling more, and that fills my cup. And, yeah, my youngest is two now, so I'm just excited about having more fun, yeah? Because I feel like there was a few years there where I just wasn't bringing the joy, you know.Lesley Logan 33:54  I mean, I think, like, especially when you had then, there had been, like, two and zero, you know, four, two and zero. Molly Asplin 34:00  That was not fun. Not fun. Lesley Logan 34:03  Yeah. So I kind of, I really do love that. And I love that, like, I love the reflection of, like, Okay, that was this. And what I want to bring into this season, want to be more fun. I think we all can even do that with any part of our life, right? Like, when we're recording this, it's beginning of summer, you know, summer solstice seven hasn't even happened yet, but, like, it's like, okay, so what I want the next thing to be? Like, how do I want this to be and then be her now? Like, what would that have to do? You know, we're, we're doing our summer tour. This will already have happened. And I literally said to the team. I said, okay, it can be a bigger tour, but here's what I need, right for that to happen, so that I I can have fun on it too. And it's not just work or, oh, where are the places? You know, you just start to learn things about yourself, and it's okay. I want for Q4 like, okay, it's gonna be a busy travel season. So what do I want to do in between? So I don't feel like I'm just traveling for work all the time, you know, reflection and then planning ahead. You know, these are important. These are things we have to do, things don't just happen to you.Molly Asplin 35:02  Yeah, well, and Lesley, that's so smart about planning ahead, like that. That's probably why you do feel so, like, able to recharge on a daily basis because you've planned for it. Lesley Logan 35:10  Yeah. Well, and that's, I mean, like, I learned a long time ago, and I'm sure the same, like, if it's not in the schedule it doesn't get done, right? Like, it's, it's not a to do list thing to me, like, I don't even make to do lists anymore. I have ADHD I'll never look at them again. So I already learned that about myself. But if it's not in the actual schedule, then it won't get done. And so I have to go, Okay, if you want me to write blog posts, or if you want me to write these things, there has to be a block of time in there. Oh, if I want to recharge, what does that look like and like where can it put in the calendar? And if it's not able to get in the calendar, I also have had to learn, like, and this is the recovering people pleaser, you know, like the recovering firstborn daughter who does everything right. Like, what can I actually go back and say, I can't do that today? Can I do it tomorrow? You know? Like, hey. Molly Asplin 35:56  Like setting the boundary. Lesley Logan 35:57  Because sometimes you commit to something and you're like, oh, wow, I could do that today, but it's not gonna be my best work, or it's gonna feel rushed, but if I had if I could do it tomorrow, you know? And so sometimes I just, my husband is the person who gave me the permission. He was like, just ask, or just say, we'll do it we have to do it next week. So sorry. Like, just apologize. And I was like, you can do that. You can, you can just, like, change it, but I can do that. And a lot sometimes you can't, like, sometimes there's deadlines and things are due, but a lot of times I've looked at things going, Oh, we could actually move that to tomorrow. We really, really can't, if we're really honest with ourself, that means we get to do something so well, I'm excited for you. That's something to be really excited about. We're gonna take a brief break and then find out how people can find you and learn more from you and your amazing podcast. Molly Asplin 36:43  Awesome. Lesley Logan 36:43  All right, Molly, where do you hang out? Where? What's your podcast? Where's your website? Where can people learn more from you and work with you?Molly Asplin 36:52  Yeah, so you can go to mollyasplin.com that is my website, and shares a little bit more about me there. I'm on Instagram most days. Molly.Asplin. And then I was gonna grab this. I this is a really good for, like, morning routine, your ins and you're outs for, like, the month I fill, I fill it out on a monthly basis, called The Momentum Builder of like, a free printable. And so if you like this kind of thing, I do. Lesley Logan 37:16  Oh, everyone loves this kind of thing. Molly Asplin 37:18  Yeah, it's mollyasplin.com/momentum so and you can just download it there and and print it out, but that does kind of help me. Like, what am I focused on this month? Like, what are the main like, needle movers and the goals? So I think that's helpful.Lesley Logan 37:33  I promise you that our listeners love that. Because, first of all, they're always asking, like, what's your favorite? Sorry, that's, that's Bayon and letting us know he's he's here a little in the background. They always like, what's your favorite planner? And I'm like, well, I can't really read my own writing, and I'm left handed, so the binding is just not helpful. But that a printable like that I can work with. Molly Asplin 37:53  Well and then you can do a new one each month, because it's like, okay, wait, fresh start, you know? And you can start in the middle of the month too. You can start whenever. Lesley Logan 37:56  Can start whatever. That's for the perfectionist. You can start whenever. You can start on a full moon, you can start on a new moon, you can start on a quarter moon. I love that so much. And your podcast is Dream It, Do It, correct?Molly Asplin 38:10  Yeah, podcast, Dream It, Do It. And Lesley was just on there, so go listen to her interview. But yeah, that's we share a lot of high achieving tips, business tips, things like that, productivity.Lesley Logan 38:20  Oh, I love it so much. I know you all are listening to make sure you go check that out. Okay, you've actually given us a ton of great stuff. But I love to end the show on bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Molly Asplin 38:33  I think, think about the thing that you have said you wanted to do in the future, and, like, try to make a leap for it today. And that doesn't mean like writing it down or talking to your friend about it. It means like actually doing it, like sending the email, hiring the coach, making the phone call, going for a run, like whatever it like, take the actual action, and don't let that get covered up and just like the plans and the thinking about it.Lesley Logan 39:03  I like that. I actually, I have a little recent story that help people see that in another way. I had, a year ago, I was like, I'm tired of making up my own gym workouts. Like I have to do, I have to think about people's Pilates workouts, all these things, like, I'm tired of it. And so I started like, thinking, like, thinking, like, do I want to hire a trainer? What do I do? And I found this person online that I really liked, and I was like, okay, I could just hire them, or I'm going to do their workouts that they've posted online. And so I did that for a long time. I was like, oh, I'm getting great results with this. Okay, so now I'm going to work on hiring them. So I, like, build up the application. So like, you know, there's most of these things you want to do, you have to fill out an application or you have to do some sort of thing. And so I did that step, and then she came back to me like, it was like, two weeks later. So it was not like everything happened tomorrow, but it allowed me to have some time and runway with with doing the thing, being her, with the potential trainer, with her work, and then taking the next step. And then she called me back, and then she said okay, we'll start on these two weeks that I was able to plan. Because it wasn't tomorrow. It was like, Oh, it was going to be in two weeks. So in two weeks from now, I can set aside time on my calendar for this I could set aside the money for this investment. I could do all this stuff. And so I think, what a great idea, whatever the thing is you want to do, take an action today. I think that's really, I would think that's a very bold and executable thing you guys could do.Molly Asplin 40:14  I love it. I love your example. Lesley, that's spot on.Lesley Logan 39:04  Thanks. Yeah, it was. I was like, really, like, okay, really proud of myself. Because sometimes I'm a person who's like, I'm just gonna do it. I like that. But then it's like, sometimes I wonder, like, did I end up the right person? Did I get the right thing? And so I kind of tried it out a different way, like, well, what if I be it till I see it as a person who, like, you know, interviews the person a little bit longer and tries it out and see if yeah, that's how I did it. So you're amazing, Molly. You guys, how are you going to use these tips in your life? Please tag Molly Asplin. Tag the Be It Pod.

Today's episode is a special one because I'm sitting down with my good friend and fellow mompreneur, Lindsey Bomgren—founder of Nourish Move Love and creator of the brand new Overload 30 workout program made specifically for busy working moms.

Hey friend — in this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm opening up about something that's been on my heart lately. As we head into summer (and I'm leading our Set Yourself Up for Summer Challenge inside the Dream It Do It membership), I've been thinking a lot about what “success” actually looks like… especially in this new season of life. I recently went through a big career shift, and it stirred up some old beliefs I didn't even realize were still lingering — like the idea that our worth is tied to productivity, output, or how much we're earning. Can you relate? In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm personally unlearning when it comes to: ⏰ The traditional 40-hour workweek

If you've ever felt like your business runs you (instead of the other way around), this episode is a breath of fresh air. Molly is joined by returning guest and systems expert Aly Caffrey—a fellow mom, business owner, and the brains behind Master Maternity Leave. Aly's mission? Helping women build sustainable, streamlined businesses that actually support the life they want—without the burnout.  Expecting a baby and wondering how you'll keep your business running while you step away? Alyson Caffrey is the ultimate pro on how to simplify and streamline your business, so that you can take a true maternity leave—without sacrificing momentum or income. Aly's Master Maternity Leave course is the go-to resource for entrepreneurial moms who want to create true flexibility and presence during their leave while knowing their business is still supported behind the scenes. This is my referral link—I may earn a small commission if you purchase, at no extra cost to you. This is a resource I wish every expecting business owner had in her toolkit. Don't just “wing it”—instead, prepare with confidence for so much more ease, flow, and presence. Inside this conversation, they chat about:

As summer approaches, things shift—and if you're a working mom, you're probably already feeling it. ☀️ In this episode of The Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm walking you through how I'm prepping for a successful summer—both at home and in business. From adjusting routines to navigating a four-day workweek, I'm sharing the small but mighty changes that help me feel less scattered and more steady as the season kicks in. Here's what we talk about:

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm bringing you something special—one of my presentations from the recent Dream It, Do It Working Mom Retreat. It was one of the many amazing sessions of the weekend, and I knew I had to share it here with you, too. We're diving into the real-life strategies I use (and teach!) to manage my energy as a working mom, business owner, and human who's trying to thrive—not just survive. This isn't about hustle or squeezing more into your day—it's about sustainable energy that supports your goals and your well-being. I'll walk you through: ⚡️ The Working Mom Energy Pyramid—and how to build from the ground up

In this episode, I'm sharing something a little different—and a lot of fun: my current joy list. These are the everyday things, routines, habits, and moments that are bringing me light, peace, and energy in this season. Whether you're in a busy season, needing a reset, or just curious about what's bringing other women joy lately, this episode is full of simple ideas you can steal, tweak, or make your own. My hope is that it inspires you to slow down for a second, look around, and start noticing the things that are already bringing you energy and ease. Because joy isn't always found in big milestones—it's often hiding in your everyday rhythms. This episode is meant to feel like a cozy chat with a friend—because sometimes, it's the little things that bring the biggest joy.

If you've ever felt frazzled, reactive, or like you're constantly playing catch-up, this episode is for you. Inspired by conversations I've had in recent high-performance coaching sessions, we're diving into the power of planning—and how it can totally shift your energy, focus, and confidence. In this episode, I'm breaking down:

Business Pivots, Profit Levers, and What's Working Right Now In this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm giving you a real-time update on what's been happening in my business over the past six months—specifically the pivot I made after realizing my former Beachbody model no longer aligned with where I wanted to go. This transition hasn't been easy, but it's been incredibly clarifying. I'm walking you through the five key strategies that have helped me refocus, drive profit, and build in a way that feels more sustainable long-term. Here's what we cover:

In this solo episode of the Dream It, Do It podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that so many of us feel but don't always say out loud—the quiet doubts, the mental load, and the constant juggling that comes with being an ambitious working mom. If you've ever wondered “Can I really do both?”—build the business, show up for your family, and still have time to breathe—you're not alone, and this episode is for you. I'm also sharing something special just for my podcast fam: a discount code - podcast - for our upcoming Working Mom Retreat on May 3rd! This retreat is going to be such a breath of fresh air—filled with real talk, practical tools, mindset support, and a powerful group of women who just get it. Inside this episode, I'm diving into:

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm joined by the amazing Dr. Morgan Cutlip—author, psychologist, and someone whose Instagram posts have stopped me in my scroll more times than I can count. Her take on relationships, motherhood, and that invisible “mental load” so many of us carry? Totally spot on. We talk about:

Let's talk about the real secret to career growth… it's not just hard work (though that matters). It's who you know, how you show up, and the connections you build along the way. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Judy Molenaar—a high-level cybersecurity exec, mom, and one of my incredible high-performance clients—to talk about the power of networking in building a career that actually aligns with your life. With over 25 years of experience in a male-dominated industry, Judy shares how she's built a thriving leadership career and stayed grounded in her values. But the game-changer? Her ability to connect with people intentionally, strategically, and authentically—way beyond her immediate circle. In this episode, we talk about:

Ever wondered if you could turn your passion into a thriving business while juggling family life? Jenny Roth did exactly that—and she's sharing how in this episode of the Women in Business series! Jenny, a mom of three from South Dakota, went from being a stay-at-home mom to building a multi-six-figure copywriting business. In this conversation, she's keeping it real about:

Welcome to the Women in Business series on the Dream It Do It podcast—created just for you, based on your feedback!

Ever feel like life is moving so fast that you forget to check in with yourself? In this episode of Dream It, Do It, I'm pressing pause to take inventory of where I'm at, what's working, and what needs to shift—and I want you to do the same. I'm sharing my own reflections on balancing family, career, and personal growth, plus how I'm thinking about career alignment, goal setting, relationships, mindset, and health as I step into a new season. I'll also walk you through some of my top personal and professional goals, hoping to inspire you to get clear on what really matters to you right now. Oh, and I need your help!

In this episode of Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that so many of us wrestle with—purpose. What does it really mean? How does it evolve over time? And how does it impact everything from our careers to motherhood to our overall happiness? I'll be sharing my thoughts on why purpose isn't just some big, elusive thing we have to “find” but something we can actively build and reconnect with. We'll talk about how staying aligned with what truly matters to you can help you avoid burnout, stay motivated, and feel more fulfilled—beyond just chasing success or external validation. I'll also break down some simple, actionable ways to strengthen your sense of purpose, whether in your personal life or in leadership roles. Because when we're clear on our “why,” we show up stronger—not just for ourselves but for the people around us.

In this episode of Dream It, Do It, we're keeping the high-performance series rolling with a deep dive into something that doesn't get talked about enough—courage. Sure, productivity and good habits matter, but real high performance? It takes bold, sometimes scary decisions.

In this episode of Dream It, Do It, we're continuing the high-performance series by tackling a game-changer: energy management. Because let's be real—what's the point of big goals if you don't have the energy to enjoy them?

In this episode of the Dream It Do It podcast, I'm joined by Rachel Amarante, who brings her wisdom on balancing motherhood and work, overcoming burnout, and making well-being a priority. Together, we discuss embracing life's challenges, setting realistic goals, and giving yourself grace along the way. We encourage you to take actionable steps toward your personal and professional fulfillment while emphasizing the importance of community support and staying consistent in your efforts. Rachael learned years ago that we cannot bubble bath our way to our goals – long before self-care culture took the main stage. Instead, through her own trial and error and 15 years of experience training high achievers, she figured out how we must take care of ourselves to achieve sustainable success in every area of our lives. We know the world is unhealthy and underachieving because people are unclear about how to do work and life and WIN at the balance. Now more than ever the areas of our lives are intertwined. When we take care of our health, our business wins. When we take care of our minds, our families win. Let's take care of you, your business, and your family, together. Rachael is a former burnt-out corporate and small business executive turned professional speaker, best-selling author, leadership coach, and founder of the movement, Take Care of Yourself™.  Rachael lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with her husband and four young boys. When she's not speaking and coaching her teams, you can find her experimenting in the kitchen and playing baseball in the backyard.   Links From This Episode:    Join the all new Dream It Do It Wellness here! - https://dream-it-do-it-wellness.circle.so/checkout/dream-it-do-it-wellness   Follow Molly on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/molly.asplin/?hl=en   Rachel's Freebie - #10beforetech Journal https://rachaelamarante.myflodesk.com/bst3tug3ed   Rachel's Website  https://rachael-amarante.com/   Follow Rachel on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/rachael_amarante/?hl=en   Connect with Rachel on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachael-amarante-06561a8   Thank you for listening to this episode!
