More Values, Less Effort- Looks Like Work, Season 3, Ep 7

What if life didn’t have to be a constant uphill climb?

What if being a great mom, a devoted partner, an ambitious entrepreneur, and a full-ass human didn’t require contortionist-level scheduling and a martyr complex?

What if the magic wasn’t in doing more—but in getting honest about what actually matters?

This week, I talk with Meirav Rosenberg—founder of Paz Interactive, author-in-progress, and self-described recovering over-functioner—about the quiet revolution that begins when we finally stop bullshitting ourselves.

We get into the emotional calculus of parenting, partnering, launching, and loving… and how values—not hustle—can be the thing that aligns it all.

Inside this conversation:

• The courage (and risk) of taking up space as a mother, founder, woman

• Managing the messy committee of voices in your head

• Prioritizing your own wellbeing as a parenting strategy

• The quiet rebellion of listening to your body

• Letting go of control without losing direction

• Functional medicine, burnout, and the wisdom hiding in exhaustion

• The sneaky power of values-based decision-making

• How writing a book led to more authenticity everywhere else

Meirav asks one of those “sounds simple but rearranges your DNA” kinds of questions:
👉 “What do you want?”

Not “what’s practical,” not “what will make your partner proud,” not “what should someone like me want by now.” Just: what do you want?

This episode is a mirror held up to all of us who are trying to do it all and feel something in the process. It’s a permission slip to get clear, not just busy. And to trust that alignment isn’t fluffy—it’s fiercely efficient.

"I'm not scared of dying, I'm just scared of not living exactly the way that I want to."
