In this episode, Host Paola Soares explores how to start setting healthy boundaries—especially during the busy holiday season when stress, expectations, and overcommitment can easily take over.

Many women don't realize how poor boundaries quietly impact their careers, businesses, relationships, and emotional well-being. If you're feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or drained, this conversation will help you recognize where your limits are being crossed and how to confidently reclaim your time, energy, and peace.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, career-driven woman, college student, or stay-at-home mom, learning to set boundaries is essential for avoiding burnout and showing up as your best self.

Paola breaks down 5 practical steps to begin establishing healthier boundaries—so you can protect what matters most, prioritize your mental health, and move through the holidays (and beyond) with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Tune in for a vulnerable and empowering conversation that will help you create space for yourself and step into a healthier, more aligned season.

133. Why You Need To Develop This 1 Thing To Be Successful

In this episode, Host Paola Soares explores what really happens when life feels "off," and why what many people call a midlife crisis or identity crisis is often something far healthier — a midlife readjustment, a season of reflection, realignment, and personal rebirth.

Paola breaks down the difference between an unhealthy midlife crisis (reactive, fear-driven, impulsive) and a healthy midlife awakening (intentional, reflective, and aligned), and shares why research shows that only 10–20% of adultsactually experience a true midlife crisis. For most people, feeling stuck, restless, or misaligned is part of a normal life transition — an invitation to reinvent yourself with clarity and purpose.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why you may feel stuck, lost, or questioning your direction

• Signs you're in an awakening or identity shift

• What misalignment is trying to reveal

• How to move from crisis → clarity → rebirth

• Practical reflection questions to help you reconnect with your calling

• How this season can become a powerful new beginning

If you're navigating a midlife transition, feeling behind, or craving deeper alignment in your career, purpose, or identity, this episode will help you reframe your season and step into it with confidence and hope.
