In this special episode of The Happier Life Project, the tables are turned as host Gabby Sanderson steps into the guest seat. Interviewed by psychotherapist, time management coach, and author Risa Williams (Get Stuff Done Without the Stress), Gabby shares her personal journey through the highs and lows of working in media and tech—where relentless hustle came at a steep cost. Together, they dive into the dangers of hustle culture, the pressure to always be “on,” and the moment Gabby realized she was burning out. She opens up about how pushing too hard led to panic attacks, a panic disorder diagnosis, and the difficult but necessary decision to slow down on purpose. This interview was originally recorded for Risa's award winning podcast “The Motivation Mindset”. To celebrate the release of Risa's new book “Get Stuff Done Without the Stress,” as this interview covers a lot of topics from the book, Risa kindly allowed us to share it with you here. If you've ever felt trapped in the grind or struggled to find balance, you will relate to Gabby's story. Tune in for real talk, hard-earned lessons, and practical insights on how to reclaim your time and mental well-being.

It's about to get deep. I'm not sure it's because I'm on Day 12 of a 21-Day Fast or if the Spirit is speaking or both, but today's episode is extremely personal. The 4-Quarters of today's SHOW includes… MOTIVATION & MINDSET. “Only when you are brave enough to explore the darkness will you discover the infinite power of our light.” Check out my coaching prompts and action steps for this one. HEALTHSET. Updates on my 21-Day Fast and why it's extremely hard, but good, right now. I also share the 2 reasons WHY I'm doing this fast and the 5 questions I'm praying for. LEADERSHIP. Today, I want to go deep on how to lead with vision, not fear. This includes setting a clear vision for your business or career or team rather than reacting to challenges with anxiety or short term fixes. Additionally, I will share 5-things fear does to you and discuss how to flip fear into fuel. Lastly, I share the power and importance of a “90-Day Wonder” and talk about how it can help you grow your influence, income, and impact. This is an exercise I have been doing for a long time and has been instrumental in keeping focus on the most important tasks on hand, along with keeping the vision of where we are going also. This concludes with a MUST-DO action step that will significantly help your business/career, bottom-line, and IMPACT grow. PERSONAL. There are two-things I want to share & discuss today. First and foremost, I want to share the action-steps that our team and community (this includes you!) will be taking to “give-back” and “BE THE LIGHT” up in Los Angeles, that has suffered utter decimation and still battling. There are several activations underway that you can get involved with and ALL are in today's IMPACT SHOW. We are calling this entire activation: “OPERATION IMPACT, Rebuild-LA.” WE want to help “10” families who have been displaced are in need with finances or supplies. WE want to raise funds to completely rebuild 1-gym up there in the heart of Los Angeles so that a new “Sanctuary” can be returned and birthed up there. I believe with all of our sponsors, vendors, and Community (here on the podcast as well), that we can do this. We will be doing a Virtual Speaker's Summit in early March to raise even more funds. We will have 20-world-class speakers sharing their stories of inspiration to motivate & inspire you. Additionally, Drew Brees just committed to speak at this as well to hopefully raise even more funds. This will be completely by donation and I'm confident and hopeful that we can raise a lot of money starting NOW for the virtual event. More details to come but you can contribute to the Durkin IMPACT Foundation NOW [501-c-3, tax-deductible] So three great initiatives we are underway with and hope between NOW and the next 90-Days, that we can raise a lot of money to give back to those who need it so desperately right now. Please see BELOW for ways to donate. Lastly, Momma Durkin. Please pray for her. My 91-year old Mom doesn't have much time left and she sure could use your prayers right now. I am heading down to see her in Orlando this week and can't wait to give her a big bear-hug again. Thanks for tuning-in.

If any part speaks to you, please also share it on your social media so that more people can find out about what we are doing to create some ripples in this universe.

Our approach to managing time deeply impacts productivity and emotional well-being, shaping the levels of guilt, stress, and satisfaction we experience throughout the day. For those struggling with anxiety and stress, managing time can be particularly challenging. The constant sense of never having enough hours to accomplish goals or complete tasks often leading to feelings of overwhelm and frustration. But what if the real issue isn't just having too much to do? For many, the key lies in reassessing their relationship with time and learning new strategies - something most of us were never taught in school. With the right tools and techniques, time management can become less stressful and more empowering, helping us to regain control and achieve greater balance. In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson explores the deep connection between time management and mental health. Gabby is joined by Risa Williams, a therapist, time management expert, award-winning author, and host of The Motivation Mindset podcast. In her work, Risa shares practical tools to stay motivated and work smarter, not harder, when it comes to managing time. Risa's book 'The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit', offers readers methods grounded in CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, empowering them to develop healthy habits and make meaningful changes. With creative worksheets and actionable techniques, the book serves as a guide to overcoming the challenges of time management. In this conversation, Risa shares practical strategies for setting realistic goals without burning out and provides straightforward motivation hacks to help you stay on track. Gabby and Risa discuss using music as a tool to enhance focus, and look at ways to alleviate the “Morning Dread” that many experience at the start of the day. Risa also reflects on her realization that a key component for those who struggle with anxiety and stress is their relationship with time. A fundamental insight that inspired her to become a time management therapist and write a book on the subject. Plus, Risa shares her thoughts on the pressure we are made to feel to maximize every waking moment, which often leads to taking on too much, and how to avoid that trap. Feeling overwhelmed with never enough hours in the day? Struggling to keep up with your to-do list? This episode offers simple tactics to reclaim your time and alleviate stress, helping you set achievable goals while maintaining emotional well-being.

Ella: @thefitnesspsych_ Me: @transformxruby Fearful that they are never going to change Communication; with ourselves & others - People think they SHOULD know how to do things External goals Both sides of motivation Do we need to listen to ourselves and actually rest Or do we need to act to build momentum I know what to do but im not doing it Tradeoffs Saying yes to something = no to other things as well Everything serves you in some way Flexibility VS restrained/rugged flexibility i never had it to start with but thats where social media c Motivation Helping clients tap into intrinsic motivation Why the groundwork is so important .. motivation When we don't enjoy something (which we need to do things we don't enjoy to get to where we want to be in the sense that its so different from where you were, of course you wont like it at first - but thats the identity piece and then realising that it can be something you do enjoy (like i hated exercise to start with and then that all changed as i realised the benefits and saw it changing me physically and etcetc I feel this is where alot of people slip up because they failed in the past before bc they are the ones doing it to themselves Or even with a coach they feel like this is how it SHOULD be So they don't open up that they need to slow down All or nothing thinking Being self critical in the process How this holds you back How to navigate it and move forward from it Mindset barriers Feeling like they should have their shit together and it should be easy i want to talk about ways to build up our confidence bucket and finding proof & our track record of the past times we did well and how to approach it then if we havent got one in the way that we would like to proceed forward - when there really is alot of change into the new identity and also how at times its a fear but not knowing that its a fear because we cant recognise the emotion for example a client comes to mind: she started a deficit and she already preempts falling off and sabotaging and the whole idea of being in a deficit she feels hungry just from that! You arent going to love it all the time You will always come across resistance hard doesn Not being so focused on our body means letting ourself go CHANGE in itself process of Change Physical Mental Communication comes in there again There is no normal compartmentalizing VS catastrophizing and blending it all together - duality of thinking 2 things can exist Its not EITHER/OR It is AND ------ that was perfect --- WHY was it? --- i didnt p Change not being linear and different for everyone if its something we want to last because theres usually alot of work to do and how our past experiences shape our process - ie belief in ourselves. Belief in general Needing to fail and fail to get there and reframing failure how to breakfree from cycles, When life disrupts you When clients only do something for the outcome, what happens when they get the outcome --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/transformxruby/message
