In this episode, we sit down with Steph Strauss, a speaker, success coach, and actress passionate about helping women overcome self-doubt and step into their full potential ✨. Steph’s journey began with struggles around self-worth following her parents' divorce. It wasn’t until her mid-twenties that she invested in personal growth, which became a turning point in both her mindset and career.
Steph shares how practices like journaling and affirmations helped her break free from limiting beliefs 📖. One powerful shift came when she replaced the thought, "I don’t have enough time or energy," with the empowering belief, "I have the perfect amount of time and energy."
She also highlights the importance of community and growth experiences, crediting a Rachel Hollis event as a pivotal moment that sparked new courage and clarity 🌟.
Steph’s “Magic Mindset” method focuses on five key tools: self-love, affirmations, gratitude, introspection, and surrendering control. Her story is a reminder that true success comes from slowing down, trusting yourself, and showing up fully for the life you want ❤️.

Ever found yourself saying yes when you really meant no? 🤦‍♀️ Or dropping everything for someone else’s “urgent” request, only to regret it later? You’re not alone. Setting boundaries is tough, but without them, stress skyrockets, deadlines blur, and burnout sneaks in before you even realize it. 🚨
In today’s episode, we’re breaking down some of the biggest boundary challenges—interruptions, unrealistic deadlines, and the pressure to always be available. ⏳ Plus, we’re flipping the script on those automatic yeses and replacing them with confident, respectful boundaries. Because here’s the thing: boundaries don’t just protect your time and energy; they actually increase your visibility and value in the workplace. 💡
We’ll dive into why saying no doesn’t make you less of a team player—it makes you a better one. You’ll hear real-life examples, simple mindset shifts, and practical responses you can start using today. And if you’re ready to take this work further, be sure to check out the free Bold and Balanced mini-course, where you’ll learn how to delete, delegate, and automate with intention.
So, what’s your biggest boundary struggle? Let’s talk about it. 🎙️
