Angela's episode on Daffney's podcast: Working Moms and the Mental Load No One Talks about
 
In this powerful episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela sits down with performance advisor and Don't F*kn Shrink podcast host Daffney Allwein to explore what it really means to reclaim your identity, trust your body, and stop living according to everyone else's expectations.
Daffney works with high-performing professionals, including CEOs, attorneys, politicians, and executives, to optimize their health, mindset, and performance. But as you'll hear in this conversation, sustainable success doesn't come from pushing harder, it comes from reconnecting with yourself.
Together, Angela and Daffney dive into why so many women were conditioned to stay quiet, play small, chase perfection, and measure their self worth by productivity. They discuss how learning to listen to your body, honor your unique energy, and let go of old conditioning can become the most healing medicine of all.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why high achievement doesn't have to come at the expense of your health and happiness
How reconnecting with your body can transform your confidence and decision-making
The hidden cost of perfectionism and people-pleasing
How Human Design can help you better understand yourself and your natural strengths
Why your children often reflect the healing you're being invited to do
Practical ways to quiet your inner critic and redefine success on your own terms

What if the reason you're overwhelmed isn't because you need a better productivity hack—but because you've been believing the wrong story?
In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela Lee sits down with coach, speaker, and author Julia Sewell to unpack the three biggest lies many millennial moms have been taught to believe:
• I don't have time.• If I ask for help, I'm needy.• My worth is determined by how productive I am.
After experiencing burnout, resentment, and the pressure to do it all, Julia began redefining what it means to be a self-made woman: one who leads from confidence, intention, and joy rather than self-sacrifice.
This conversation goes beyond awareness and into action, with practical tools to help working moms reclaim their worth, ask for support, and create success on their own terms.
Key Takeaways:
Build confidence from your values, not your accomplishments.
Learn how to ask for support before reaching burnout.
Recognize resentment as valuable feedback, not failure.
Create success that feels good, not just looks good.
Make yourself a priority without guilt.
If you've ever felt caught between your career, your family, and yourself, this episode is for you.

What happens when you've spent years drowning out your own voice, and you finally decide to listen?
In this solo episode, I'm giving you a sneak peek at the talk I gave for the Happiness Summit, and sharing the story I don't tell often enough. The years I spent operating from people pleasing and perfectionism. Letting external validation shape my decisions, my self-worth, and my inner dialogue. And the slow, unglamorous work of finding my way back to myself.
This episode is about self-trust, what it actually takes to build it, and why the whispers inside you are worth following, even when they lead you somewhere uncomfortable.
I also share how discovering Human Design helped me stop treating my traits as flaws and start seeing them as design, and how that shift changed everything.
If you're a working mom who's been putting yourself last and wondering why you feel so far from happy, this one's for you.
In this episode:
How people pleasing silences your inner voice
The beliefs that kept me small and how I started dismantling them
Why self-trust is the foundation of real happiness
How Human Design became a tool for coming home to myself

In this episode of This Is How She Does It, host Angela Lee sits down with real estate leader Rebecca Blacker for an honest conversation about building a career and life that actually align with your values instead of chasing the impossible idea of “balance.”
 
After stepping away from her family business when the work no longer felt fulfilling, Rebecca rebuilt her career on her own terms. Today, she leads a supportive team of women in New York City while creating a schedule and lifestyle that allow her to fully show up both professionally and personally — whether she’s with clients or cheering from the sidelines at her kids’ soccer games.
Angela and Rebecca dive into what “integration” really looks like for working women, why separating work and home into perfect boxes often leaves us feeling disconnected, and how creating a life that reflects who you truly are can change everything.
One of the most powerful themes in this episode is the importance of asking for what you need. Rebecca shares how learning to communicate directly — at work, at home, and with herself — transformed the way she leads, receives support, and navigates motherhood and business with more clarity and confidence.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this conversation will remind you that you don’t need to fit into someone else’s definition of success. You can build a life that works for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why “integration” may serve working moms better than “balance”
Leaving a career path that no longer feels aligned
Building a supportive community of women in business
Learning to ask for help and communicate your needs clearly
Creating success on your own terms
Showing up authentically in both motherhood and leadership

On this episode of This Is How She Does It, host Angela Lee sits down with Hayley  Spitaleri — entrepreneur, podcast co-host, mom, and passionate advocate for helping women stop shrinking and start shining. Haley shares her journey from the fast-paced world of the New York music industry to creating a more intentional life and business in Los Angeles, where she discovered the power of building work rooted in joy, purpose, and alignment.
Together, Angela and Haley dive into the realities so many women face: toxic workplace dynamics, scarcity mindsets, mom guilt, emotional regulation, and the pressure to hold it all together perfectly.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your joy, and that women rise higher when they support one another instead of competing. Filled with honesty, laughter, and relatable stories, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to embrace the messy, imperfect journey of becoming who you truly are.
