You don't need to do more to move forward.
Sometimes, the real breakthrough comes from deciding what to stop carrying.
Ginny Priem is a keynote speaker, TEDx presenter, master certified coach, bestselling author, and creator of the UNSUBSCRIBE™ framework — a practical system designed to help high-achievers reclaim their time, energy, and focus without losing momentum.
In this episode, Ginny shares how burnout, over-functioning, and personal heartbreak led her to rethink success entirely. Together with Dr. Sarah E. Brown, she unpacks why high-performing women often overextend themselves, struggle to set boundaries, and stay trapped in patterns of constant output.
You'll also learn the four pillars of the UNSUBSCRIBE™ framework — Block, Mute, Swap, and Manage — and how to use them to create more alignment, clarity, and sustainable success.
What you will learn from this episode:
"When you start to remove things that no longer serve you, what you notice is it starts to create space for the things that are more aligned."
