That Girl Radio

Send us Fan MailHow many tabs do you have open right now? And no, girl, we're not talking about your internet browser. We're talking about the unfinished projects, unanswered emails, postponed decisions, and endless to-do lists taking up mental real estate.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or like you're constantly doing everything but getting nothing done, this episode is for you.Just like a computer starts to slow down when too many programs are running at once, our minds can struggle to keep up when we're juggling too many responsibilities, ideas, and commitments. And for the everyday ambitious woman, the temptation to keep opening new tabs before closing the old ones is all too real.In this episode of That Girl Radio, we're talking about the art of closing mental tabs, reducing cognitive overload, and creating capacity for the woman you're becoming. I'm introducing my Close It, Click Into It, or Bookmark It framework to help you organize your mental clutter, prioritize what actually matters, delegate what doesn't require your attention, and finally start finishing what you've started.Because as we prepare for 2027, maybe the answer isn't another goal, another routine, or another reinvention. Maybe it's making room for everything you've already committed to.In this episode, we're getting into:Why unfinished tasks and open mental loops can leave you feeling overwhelmed.How to conduct a mental tab audit and organize your competing priorities.The difference between being busy and actually making progress.Why delegating, postponing, or letting go can be just as productive as doing.How to stop overthinking and start taking action, one tab at a time.Your That Girl Assignment: Before you open another tab, challenge yourself to close three. Whether that means completing a task, making a decision, or releasing something that no longer serves you, it's time to create a little more breathing room.Because, that girl, you cannot keep opening new tabs and wonder why your life is running so slowly.Let's close some tabs and make room for the life we're designing. ♡Did you enjoy today's episode?

Send us Fan MailWhat if being good at everything is the very thing keeping you from becoming exceptional at something?That girl, we've been conditioned to believe that the more we can do, the more valuable we become. So we collect skills, chase opportunities, wear multiple hats, and pride ourselves on being the woman who can figure it all out. But somewhere between being capable and being constantly available, we lose sight of what makes us uniquely valuable.In this week's episode of That Girl Radio, we're unpacking the curse of capability, the hidden cost of being well-rounded, and why your next level might not require you to do more, but to become exceptionally good at the right thing.We're talking about the difference between being well-rounded and being well-positioned, how to identify your unfair advantage, and why developing a signature strength requires intentionality, repetition, and the discipline to say no.You don't have to stop being good at many things, you have to stop treating everything you're good at as something you're obligated to pursue.Whether you're navigating your career, building a business, or simply figuring out what you're called to do, consider this your invitation to stop spreading yourself thin and start investing in what makes you extraordinary.After all, your talents are what you can do. Your superpower is what you become known for. 💌If this episode resonated with you, share it with the ambitious woman who's been trying to do it all. Did you enjoy today's episode?

Send us Fan MailPrefer to watch? Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/maccoZUZHYE?is=wwSpEJyE_sPHjyVrWho is she? Lona Marie is a licensed addiction-recovery therapist and the founder of JoinHer Counseling and the nonprofit JoinHer Healing Haven, where she does restorative and preventative work with girls and women. How did she become that girl? Lona built her career around a simple distinction: restorative care helps people heal after the fall, preventative care helps them never get there. She's applied the same philosophy at home, raising her daughters to trust themselves and take real risks—including funding and championing Rikki's earliest, shakiest attempts at building something of her own, long before "That Girl Radio" was a real thing.What did she overcome? Motherhood cost Lona a version of herself she had to rebuild—she talks candidly about the moment her old identity "no longer existed" and she became a caretaker "not just by title, but an action word." She also had to learn where someone else's needs stopped and her own started, which is where her boundaries—the real, lived-in kind, not the buzzword—actually came from.What does her blueprint look like? Trust yourself before you look for permission. Hold a boundary without over-explaining it. And when you're working hard and it still feels like you're fighting the current, take that as the sign—the assignment was never to work harder, it was to trust God.Did you enjoy today's episode?

Send us Fan MailWhat if the rejection you’re fighting isn’t the end of the story—but God’s way of redirecting you toward something better?At 18, Rikki Lee stood crying in the parking lot of a used car dealership after being told the $5,000 she had worked and saved wasn’t enough to get what she was looking for. Hours later, after deciding to simply “go across the street,” she drove away in a brand-new car.Six years later, at 24, she finds herself learning the same lesson again.In this deeply personal episode of That Girl Radio, Rikki shares what two very different seasons of rejection have taught her about knowing when to stop proving your worth, release what’s familiar, and trust God enough to explore what He may have waiting for you somewhere else.Because sometimes you aren’t being told you’re not worthy. Your portion simply isn’t there.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why rejection can be an invitation to reconsider where you’re trying to receive your portionHow familiarity can keep you fighting for something you wouldn’t choose with fresh eyesWhy constantly proving your worth may be a sign that it’s time to redirect your energyHow to distinguish holding on from faithfully letting goWhy God isn’t limited by the qualifications, protocols, or hierarchy you’ve created in your mindHow to trust God when you know what you’re leaving but don’t yet know what you’re walking intoWhy making room for what’s next sometimes requires releasing what no longer has room for youYour That Girl Assignment: Ask yourself: What am I fighting so hard to keep that I honestly need to release? Then identify one thing you’re willing to loosen your grip on this week so you can step forward with God in faith.Sometimes rejection isn’t an absolute no. Sometimes it’s simply redirection to exactly what He has for you—and what’s next may be better than you ever imagined.Did you enjoy today's episode?
