Too Tired to Enjoy It: Getting Out of the Grind Era

Published on: 5th October, 2026

In this episode, I answer three questions from my rich friends:

1. "How do I set firm boundaries without feeling guilty or like a bad person?"

Why you were programmed to put everyone else first, and how I let no be a complete sentence. Plus the RV road-trip morning I caught myself breaking my own boundary over a cup of coffee, and the tax sale I walked away from without a single explanation.

2. "How do I step back from grinding without losing my financial security?"

The harder you work, the less money you make. The less you work, the more money you make. I'll explain it with one question: in a hotel, who works the hardest, and who gets paid the most? Then we look at the money you've already set aside. Is it working for you, or are you still working for it?

3. "Who am I when I'm not being useful to everyone else?"

This one might ruffle some feathers. So many of us built our whole identity on being needed. I'll share what happened when my children grew up and moved out, how lost I felt, and how riding with a motorcycle club and line dancing helped me find myself again.

Remember this:

"Boundaries protect your time. Investments protect your security. And both give you room to find yourself."

"Being soft doesn't mean that you're small."

This week's question for you: If no one needed anything from you this Saturday, no texts, no calls, no emergencies, what would you do?

About the Podcast

Rich Friends Show
A conversation for women who are done negotiating with the life they want.
The Rich Friends Show is a conversation for women who already know what they want and are done waiting for permission.

This show is for women who have built, carried, achieved, and endured and are now choosing ease over effort, presence over performance, and self-trust over stress.

Each episode is a reflection on presence, power, and permission. The conversations are about recognizing what has already shifted and learning how to move from that place with clarity and authority.

Listeners come to this show when something no longer fits, but nothing is “wrong.” When the desire isn’t to start over, but to move differently. When relief feels more honest than motivation. When visibility no longer requires performance, and rest no longer needs justification.

This is a space for women who are done negotiating with the life they want. Women who trust their instincts, honor their evolution, and are ready to lead from alignment rather than endurance.

If you’ve outgrown the version of success you worked hard to build and are ready to move with calm confidence, this conversation will feel familiar.
