Capacity Isn’t About Doing More, It’s About What You Remove

In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting honest about something I’ve been navigating lately: the changing definition of capacity in motherhood. Since becoming a mom of two, I’ve noticed how easily I fall into the trap of trying to operate like my pre-kids self. This includes squeezing in “just one more thing,” chasing the illusion of night-time productivity, and forgetting that real capacity isn’t about time, but energy. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin and still wondering why it’s not enough, I hope this episode can act as a small nudge and guide! Here’s what we unpack: • 02:11 – Why capacity isn’t about adding more, it’s about deciding what to remove • 04:27 – The true cost of “just one more thing” and learning to subtract, not stack • 06:41 – Why nighttime is a gamble and the importance of building a work rhythm around reliable energy • 08:57 – How to design your days around protected, focused hours, and stop relying on “fantasy” timeIf this episode hit home for you, I’d love to hear how you're redefining capacity in your own life.
