From Autopilot to Intention with Candice Catoire

Send us a text

Burnout doesn't have to be the price of motherhood and entrepreneurship. In this eye-opening conversation with burnout and balance coach Candice Catois, we unpack the hidden factors keeping so many mothers stuck in cycles of exhaustion and overwhelm.

Candice reveals how operating on autopilot prevents us from creating the intentional life we desire. "Our brains are lazy," she explains, "they're going to do what they've always done unless we consciously intervene." This automatic functioning often creates a dangerous misalignment between our stated values and our daily priorities. Through practical coaching, Candice helps entrepreneurial mothers identify this gap and create systems that support both their business aspirations and family commitments.

The conversation takes an especially powerful turn when we discuss the distinction between having it all and doing it all. "You can have it all, you just can't do it all," Candice emphasizes. This shift in perspective allows mothers to release the impossible standard of personal perfection while still creating a life that honors all aspects of their identity. We explore how meeting our needs "in tandem" with our family's needs (rather than constantly putting ourselves last) actually makes us better parents and more effective business owners.

For any mother who's felt torn between career ambitions and family life, this episode offers a refreshing alternative to the burnout cycle. Discover how creating margin in your schedule, aligning your actions with your values, and embracing seasons of life can transform your experience of motherhood and entrepreneurship. Your children deserve a mother who's thriving, not just surviving and this conversation shows you how to become exactly that.
