the question that changes everything: "is this all there is?"

In this week's episode, we sit down with Janell Karst — executive coach, creator of the Badass Planner Method, and Marketing Director for a global brand — for a deeply honest conversation about the moment many women quietly experience but rarely say out loud:Is this all there is?At 36, Janell hit her first real rock bottom while living what looked like a dream life on paper: the career, the house, the baby, the dog, the husband who adored her. And yet, something felt deeply off. As she puts it, there was no Janell in the life she had built.That uncomfortable question became the catalyst for a powerful inward journey — one rooted not in blowing everything up, but in choosing herself consistently, rebuilding confidence through action, and fighting the quiet pull of mediocrity.We talk about:​Why feeling unfulfilled doesn’t make you ungrateful​How to tell the difference between being stable and being stuck​Why confidence isn’t something you have — it’s something you practice​How starting with something physical can unlock emotional clarity​The real cost of waiting for permission or perfect timing​What it actually looks like to design a life that feels aligned, not performativeThis episode is for the woman who’s doing “well,” but knows there’s more.For the one quietly asking the question — and wondering what comes next.Follow Janell Karst on Instagram: @janellkarstJoin The Year of the Fire Horse: ALL IN Series — a 3-day live Zoom experience with Janell on Feb. 16, 17 & 18.👉 https://janellkarst.myflodesk.com/firehorse If you’ve been asking “is this all there is?” — this is for you.
