In this episode, we discuss how Paden Hughes went from a life of constant hustle and high ambition to finally listening to her body protesting it all.

We talk with the Author/CEO about how to get back up after burning yourself out, how to navigate being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and managing it all while being a mom and a CEO. We also talk about her amazing book, Take Two, in which she chronicles her journey by resolving to take 2 hours per day to tune back in to herself.

About Paden Hughes:

Paden Hughes is a founder, speaker, podcaster, and author who is a leader in the areas of professional development, entrepreneurship, and health.

She was born and raised in California. She's a wife and a mom who is obsessed with defining success on her own terms and coaching others on how to buy back their time and experience with true freedom.

Paden Hughes believed that if she hustled more and more every day, her kids would be happier, her company bigger, her husband prouder, and her life simply perfect. Work hard, play hard, right?

Well, she did it!   She was a respected business consultant: growing dozens of companies from six figures to seven and eight figures. She was a highly rated leadership trainer and speaker at Fortune 500 companies and grew her first business to 7-figures. A highly anxious, people-pleaser with no work boundaries, just blinded by her ambition to chase badge of honor after badge of honor so she could finally feel “good enough.”

Then she became a mom (twice over) and depletion heaped on top of her teetering health. Enter 2020 and the pandemic that shuttered her “non essential” business.

She headed to Sedona on a week long “soul adventure” and walked away with the marching orders to spend two hours a day alone, just learning to relax and reconnect with her intuition and needs. She carved that time out of her work hours so it wouldn’t impact her family. Just worked 10 less hours per week. Imagine setting that kind of boundary in your life?

She gave it a three week trial and managed to do 21 days in a row. Shocked by how many things improved in her life, she kept going. That simple daily habit improved her health, wealth and happiness so dramatically that wrote a book about it. And now that journey is helping other ambitious women
