Ep 72: The Balancing Act: Parenting and Entrepreneurship with Dayna Abraham: https://www.shanalynn.com/podcast/the-balancing-act-parenting-and-entrepreneurship-with-dayna-abraham

What if the real reason you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or constantly pulled back into work… is because you haven’t allowed yourself to stop?

We dive into a powerful conversation about overworking, identity, and the hidden fears that keep us stuck in cycles of constant doing. Inspired by insights from Dayna Abraham, we unpack how creating intentional constraints, setting boundaries, and building systems can actually give you more freedom—not less.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “stopping” is often the missing step in breaking cycles of overwork
• How being too close to your problems keeps you stuck—and how to create space for clarity
• How to identify the fear that’s keeping you overworking (and how to release it)
• A practical framework for structuring your day using time blocks and intentional constraints
• How to transition between work mode and home life with intention

If you’ve ever struggled to disconnect from work, felt anxious when you finally slow down, or questioned what to do next after a big accomplishment, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with clarity.
