from BUT FIRST, SHE FAILED - Career Growth, Women Entrepreneurs, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Growth Mindset, Confidence · host Paola Soares

In this episode of the But First, She Failed podcast, host Paola Soares dives into a powerful shift that can take you from feeling scattered, exhausted, and overwhelmed… to clear, focused, and energized. If you've been feeling burned out, mentally drained, or frustrated that you're not making progress on your goals, this episode will challenge the way you think about productivity and time management. What if the real problem isn't that you don't have enough time — but that your energy is scattered? After attending a recent Tony Robbins event, Paola began exploring the idea that we are not living in a time shortage — we're living in an energy crisis. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from emotional and mental energy leaks like comparison, overthinking, misalignment, and operating in "push mode" instead of purpose-driven pull. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you can sleep 8 hours and still feel exhausted The difference between push energy and pull energy How hidden energy leaks quietly drain your focus and motivation A 4-step practical reset to help you reclaim your clarity and momentum How to move from reacting to creating in your life and calling If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly behind, this conversation will help you identify what's draining you and show you how to redirect your energy toward what truly matters. Because energy isn't something you find — it's something you direct. JOIN THE NEXT FREE COMMUNITY CALL: Feeling stuck, unclear, or craving accountability as you move forward in this season?
