You’re Not Stuck. Your Ego Is Running the Show with Chardét Ryel

Text Jule :)If you’ve ever caught yourself making a decision that felt off—like it came from a place of fear, proving yourself, or ego, this episode is for you. I’m joined by my very first guest on the podcast, the incredible podcast visibility coach Chardét Ryel: host of Feel Good Nakd and Her First Three Years.We talk about what ego-driven decisions really look like, how burnout shows up, and why proving yourself is one of the fastest paths to exhaustion. We also talk about what changes when you stop leading with hustle and start building around balance and alignment instead.Chardét reveals what shifted for her after 12 years as an entrepreneur: the one change she made this year, what happened when she finally dropped the pressure, and how creating from intention instead of fear has made everything feel lighter. If you’re feeling burned out, low-key resentful, or just ready to stop grinding your way through business or life, this conversation will speak to you. It’s fun, honest, a little spicy in places—and full of moments that will make you pause and reflect. Sometimes the biggest shift starts with a single question: What if I just stopped doing the thing that drains me the most?This is one of those episodes you’ll want to revisit whenever things feel heavy. Hit play and let’s talk about what it really means to build from a place of alignment instead of fear, ego, or self-hate.Topics Discussed in the Episode:What ego-driven decisions look like in business and lifeWhy “proving yourself” is a recipe for burnoutHow to know if you’re operating from fear, not alignmentSetting boundaries when you’re burned out and overextendedCommunication dynamics when working with men vs. womenThe difference between surrender and being passiveHow to build a business around the life you actually wantWays to Support This Podcast:Share this episode with a friend who's burned out or stuck in hustle mode.Follow the podcast to catch future episodes on mindset, communication, and real growth.This is a production of Jule Kim © 2025.Support the showInterested in coaching with Jule?LinkedIn: @julekim / Instagram: @itsjulekim / TikTok: @itsjulekimJule’s website: https://adviceactually.com/Buy Jule’s Self-Love Affirmation Cards on AmazonWays to Support This Podcast:🌟 If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it—and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
