Episode 61: Redefining Hard: Why Doing Less Might Be the Strongest Choice You Make with Denise Tallcott

For a long time, many of us believed “doing hard things” meant pushing more, achieving more, and carrying more responsibility - often at the expense of our peace, presence, and relationships.  But what if hard doesn’t always look like hustle?  In this solo episode, Denise shares a perspective shift that many high-capacity women are beginning to feel but haven’t always had language for: sometimes the hardest thing isn’t doing more… it’s choosing to do less.  We explore what it looks like to redefine strength in this season of life:  Moving from proving yourself to being present  Letting go of the pressure to always say yes  Learning that boundaries are not limitations, they are clarity  Recognizing that being where your feet are requires courage  Understanding that doing fewer things with intention often creates more impact  This conversation is an invitation to reconsider what “hard” really means and why saying no, slowing down, or choosing alignment over achievement may actually be the bravest leadership decision you make.  Because sometimes the strongest women are not the ones doing the most… they are the ones doing what matters most.    Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:    Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.
