Pick Joy

What happens when your life looks good on paper… but something still feels off?In this episode of Pick Joy, Sabine Schoepke sits down with social worker and burnout recovery coach Daniela Wolfe to explore why so many accomplished women reach a point where the strategies that once worked suddenly stop working.Daniela shares the deeply personal story of her own burnout as a single mother trying to do it all — and how a breaking point during a brutal winter storm forced her to rethink everything she believed about strength, self-care, and asking for help.Together, Sabine and Daniela unpack the quiet ways misalignment shows up in our lives — from exhaustion and irritability to the constant pressure to stay productive — and how joy often returns not through dramatic life changes, but through small, intentional shifts.In this conversation, they explore:• Why burnout rarely happens overnight• The surprising power of asking for help• Why self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s daily maintenance• How micro-moments can reset your nervous system• The role of community in breaking isolationThis episode is a reminder that reclaiming joy doesn’t require blowing up your life. Sometimes it begins with the smallest decision: choosing yourself in one simple moment.If you’ve ever thought “My life works… so why does something still feel missing?” — this conversation is for you.Host:Sabine SchoepkePick Joy PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sabineschoepkeGuest:Daniela Wolfe – Social Worker & Burnout Recovery CoachWebsite: https://www.danielawolfe.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielawolfe

What if the life you’re waiting for isn’t coming… because it was always supposed to start today?In this episode of Pick Joy, Sabine Schoepke sits down with entrepreneur and strategist Tanya MFK to challenge one of the most common traps high-achieving people fall into: living for “someday.”After experiencing profound loss early in life, Tanya realized something most of us avoid confronting—tomorrow isn’t promised. Since then, she has built her work around helping people design a life and business that honors what truly matters now, not just after success, retirement, or the next milestone.Together, Sabine and Tanya explore how many of us unknowingly live by outdated rules about work, achievement, and responsibility—and how reclaiming our power of choice can change everything.In this conversation, you’ll discover:• Why the word “someday” might be the biggest red flag in your life• How to build a successful career without postponing your life• The simple mindset shift that helps you stop living by default and start choosing intentionallyIf you’ve achieved a lot on paper but still feel like something is missing, this episode will help you reconnect with the one question that changes everything:What would it look like to choose joy today?Connect with Sabine SchoepkeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sabineschoepkeGuest:Tanya MFK – Entrepreneur & Life-First Business StrategistInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tanyamfk

What if the reason you feel emotionally exhausted isn’t because you care too much… but because you’ve been carrying what was never yours to hold?In this powerful conversation, Sabine sits down with Joseph Cope, known as The Empathy Guy, to unpack the difference between empathy as a feeling and empathy as a skill. Together, they explore why so many accomplished women mistake over-giving for connection, and how redefining empathy can transform the way you show up in your relationships.Joseph reframes empathy not as softness, but as a fierce leadership skill — one that allows you to create space for others without abandoning yourself. This conversation bridges directly into the heart of Pick Joy: choosing alignment over obligation and clarity over guilt.Inside this episode, we explore:The difference between empathy and sympathy (and why it matters)Why highly empathetic people struggle with boundariesHow to stop absorbing everyone else’s emotionsThe framework for creating connection without losing yourselfIf you’ve spent years being the strong one, the dependable one, the emotionally attuned one — this episode will feel like a release.Because picking joy doesn’t mean caring less.It means caring with intention.And it starts with remembering this:You are not responsible for other people’s emotions.Host:Sabine Schoepke – Pick JoyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sabineschoepkeGuest:Joseph Cope – The Empathy GuyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/empathyguy/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.empathy.guyWebsite: https://EmpathyGuy.comEmpathy Quotient Test: https://psychology-tools.com/test/empathy-quotientcode BUFFALO at empathyguy.com/merch you will receive the insider's price (%25 off) your entire order.For more information about the CARGO model, Joseph will be releasing his book, Fierce Empathy, this summer!
