I'm Paola Soares:) I'm a former Journalist and National News Producer that has had stories appear on Univision, Telemundo ABC News among others. While working in news my favorite stories were always profile pieces that helped and inspired. I started this podcast because I'm passionate about helping women gain confidence in their careers, businesses and overcome the fear failing that many times can be holding them back from living the life of their dreams. Because I've been there. I remember: being in meetings with CEO's, Anchors, and other high level bosses and being too nervous and second guessing myself so much that I wouldn't speak up and share an idea that I really felt was a great one. Thinking that I was nothing like those boss women that I looked up, that they had never struggled and I was the only one that had setbacks. Being let go from what I thought was dream job and feeling like like I was a "failure" and struggling to move past it till I had a life-changing realization. Now I'm taking my love of story telling and combining it with something that is on my heart, helping women overcome fear of faili Language: en Genres: Business, Education, Entrepreneurship, Self-Improvement Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

159. Why You're Not Hitting Your Goals (It's Not Time — It's Energy) — How to Refocus and Regain Momentum
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
In this episode of the But First, She Failed podcast, host Paola Soares dives into a powerful shift that can take you from feeling scattered, exhausted, and overwhelmed… to clear, focused, and energized. If you've been feeling burned out, mentally drained, or frustrated that you're not making progress on your goals, this episode will challenge the way you think about productivity and time management. What if the real problem isn't that you don't have enough time — but that your energy is scattered? After attending a recent Tony Robbins event, Paola began exploring the idea that we are not living in a time shortage — we're living in an energy crisis. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from emotional and mental energy leaks like comparison, overthinking, misalignment, and operating in "push mode" instead of purpose-driven pull. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you can sleep 8 hours and still feel exhausted The difference between push energy and pull energy How hidden energy leaks quietly drain your focus and motivation A 4-step practical reset to help you reclaim your clarity and momentum How to move from reacting to creating in your life and calling If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly behind, this conversation will help you identify what's draining you and show you how to redirect your energy toward what truly matters. Because energy isn't something you find — it's something you direct. JOIN THE NEXT FREE COMMUNITY CALL: Feeling stuck, unclear, or craving accountability as you move forward in this season?
