You Don’t Win a Medal for Doing It All: My Viral Post and What It Really Means

This episode is for the woman who’s doing everything running the business, managing all the things at home, carrying the invisible load and still feels like she’s falling short.

In this fiery episode (have you seen me get on my soap box yet?) I’m sharing the personal story behind my viral reel I made about the benefits of having a personal assistant to help you at home, the intense backlash it received, and what the conversation is really about. Spoiler: it’s not so much about privilege. It’s about societal expectations that are burning women out.

If you’ve ever felt you would be called lazy, selfish for not wanting to be responsible for ALL things things, or you’ve felt guilty for wanting help at home, this is your permission slip.

I’m naming the double standards, challenging the “good woman” myth, and reminding you that you don’t need to be exhausted to be worthy.

Getting support (both at work and at home) isn’t weakness, it's a strategy. And you deserve it… at home and in your business.

• The post that went viral and why it hit a nerve (00:15–02:36)
