What if success on paper isn’t the same as fulfillment in real life?
In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Andrea Davis, founder of Elevated Solutions, strategist, leadership coach, and author, for a deeply human conversation about mindset, leadership, and what it really means to build a life—and career—that energizes rather than drains.
After more than two decades in healthcare leadership, Andrea stepped away from corporate life to help leaders and teams reconnect with purpose, trust, and clarity. Drawing from positive psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experience, she helps individuals uncover the patterns, stories, and habits that quietly shape performance, culture, and personal fulfillment.
This conversation explores why high performers often struggle to slow down, how self-awareness unlocks better leadership, and why structure—when done well—creates freedom rather than limitation. Andrea and Daniel also discuss the power of mindset, communication, boundaries, and celebrating progress along the way.

How mindset patterns quietly shape leadership and culture
The role of structure in creating freedom and clarity
Why trust and communication are foundational to thriving teams
