Why Doing It All Will Be Your Downfall and What to Do Instead

Meet Olivia Steele.

She’s a visionary. A CEO. A mom. A woman building something big while trying to be everything to everyone. If you’ve ever chased a dream while managing the beautiful chaos of motherhood, Olivia’s story will feel all too real.

She shared her heart with me after reading my book, and let me tell you—this testimonial? It’s not just powerful. It’s a mirror for so many of us.

The Invisible Weight We Carry

“I carried a very heavy mental load, and the mom guilt of having to be away from her every day while fulfilling my personal dreams…”

Sound familiar?

It’s the unspoken pressure of trying to show up at every school drop-off while leading a meeting in your head. It’s the guilt of ambition. The emotional acrobatics we perform while smiling through the exhaustion. As Olivia put it, “I feel like a jester, tossing up balls all the time and praying to God they don’t all fall on my face.”

Been there? Me too.

A Book That Shifted Everything

Olivia didn’t just relate—she acted. She read the book in two days (yes, TWO) and walked away with three powerful takeaways:

  • Clarity: Realizing she wasn’t failing—just doing too much alone.
  • Relief: Understanding there’s a better, more sustainable way.

Permission: To stop micromanaging every aspect of life without guilt.

It’s okay to trust other people with work that you need to get done.

Enter the 7 D’s of Delegation

Here’s the truth: Everyone says “you need to delegate,” but no one really shows you how. That’s why the Seven D’s of Delegation hit Olivia so deeply.

“The way you broke it down… just began to shift my mindset.”

It’s one thing to know you should delegate. It’s another to learn the practical tools to make it happen—without sacrificing standards, identity, or control. That’s what she found in this framework.

From Guilt to Grace

One of the first things Olivia released? The belief that she had to be the only one taking her daughter to school.

“We dropped that. My partner can help with that… and not to feel guilt about it.”

That’s the power of clarity and support. When you finally let go of the impossible expectations, you make space for joy, connection, and real help.

This Isn’t Just Olivia’s Story—It’s Ours

Whether you’re building a business, climbing the corporate ladder, or just trying to get through the week with clean laundry and your sanity intact, this message is for you:

You’re not failing. You’re just doing too much alone.

And you don’t have to anymore.

Ready to Let Go?

If you’re juggling all the things, Olivia’s story is your nudge. Read the book. Learn the tools. Release the guilt. And most of all, ask for the help you deserve.

Because we’re not meant to do this alone—and we don’t have to.
