Transcribe →Work Backwards: Rethinking Success, Burnout & Meaningful Work with Tim Duggan | E263
3w ago00:46:09Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason so many people feel burnt out, disconnected, or stuck… is because they've built their life backwards? In this powerful conversation, Ilana sits down with author, entrepreneur, and speaker Tim Duggan to explore how redefining success, creating white space, and rethinking the role work plays in our lives can completely transform our wellbeing. Together, they unpack burnout culture, meaningful work, nervous system awareness, creativity, conflict, and why so many people are living on autopilot without even realising it. What you'll hear in this episode: The simple but life-changing framework behind "working backwards" and why most people are living on default mode Why burnout often happens when we lose connection to meaning, joy, creativity, and space The surprising research around 20% meaningful work and its connection to stress and fulfilment How creating white space and time to think can lead to clarity, creativity, and major life shifts A fascinating discussion on conflict, communication, relationships, and emotional avoidance from Tim's upcoming book. This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn't one-size-fits-all, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is pause long enough to ask yourself what you actually want. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or craving a different way of living and working, this is a must-listen conversation.

Transcribe →The 1% Shifts That Change Women's Energy | E262
4w ago00:18:12Tap to summarizeWhat if the thing that changes your energy, hormones, nervous system, and wellbeing… isn't a huge life overhaul, but the tiny things you do consistently every day? In this episode, Ilana explores the powerful concept of 1% shifts and why small, intentional changes are often the missing piece for women feeling burnt out, depleted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Drawing from her personal journey through burnout, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and over 12 years as a Kinesiologist, she shares how micro daily rituals can create profound transformation over time. What you'll hear in this episode: Why women often overlook the small daily habits that actually regulate the nervous system The difference between macro resets (holidays, retreats) and the powerful impact of micro resets Practical examples of simple 1% shifts that support energy, hormones, boundaries, and emotional wellbeing How women unconsciously end up in the passenger seat of life and how to reclaim control Why consistency, repetition, and small acts of self-care create the deepest long-term transformation This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing, balance, and sustainable energy aren't built in one giant leap… they're created through the tiny moments you choose yourself every single day.

She shares her personal journey through burnout and chronic fatigue, and how creating intentional space completely shifted the way she lives, works, and shows up.
