  • 028: Reinventing Leadership on Her Own Terms with Catarina Abreu
    Jun 4 2025

    In this episode, Coach AnnaJo sits down with the brilliant and bold Catarina Abreu, a healthcare strategist, consultant, and soon-to-be author, to talk about career reinvention, leadership, and living life on your own terms.

    From growing up across six countries and witnessing her mother’s healthcare journey, to navigating burnout, loss, and the toxic trap of “success on paper”, Catarina’s path is anything but linear. But through resilience, vision, and a researcher’s mindset, she carved out a life and career that aligns with her purpose.

    💡 Spoiler: It involved saying no to becoming a doctor or PhD, yes to a leap of faith with Columbia University, and total transformation after the worst year of her life.

    This conversation is a deep dive into:

    • The emotional turning points that catalyze reinvention

    • Why rejecting traditional career paths doesn’t mean failure—it means courage

    • How Catarina designed a new leadership identity rooted in authenticity

    • The power of using your values (not a perfect plan) to build what’s next

  • 025: The Hardest Boundaries to Set
    Mar 4 2025

    Why is it so much harder to set boundaries with the people closest to us than it is at work?

    In this episode, I share a powerful realization from my recent conversations: most people struggle less with boundaries at work and more with boundaries at home.

    We’ll dive into the real reason why setting limits with family, partners, and even ourselves feels so complicated—and why the key to better boundaries isn’t just about what you say, but how clear you are before you even say it.

    I’ll break down:
    ✅ The hidden reason we struggle with setting boundaries at home
    ✅ The 'Instruction Manual' mistake we all make (and how to fix it)
    ✅ Why boundaries don’t start with communication—they start with clarity
    ✅ A simple formula to set boundaries from a place of confidence, not frustration

    If you’ve ever thought, “If I don’t do it, nobody will”—this episode is for you. Tune in now and learn how to set boundaries that actually stick!

  • 023: Procrastination Is Not Your Identity
    Feb 11 2025

    Procrastination isn’t who you are—it’s a learned behavior. And what’s learned can be unlearned.

    In this episode of AnnaJoTalks: Work Life for Badasses, we’re tackling the real reason you procrastinate and how to break free from the energy-draining cycle of postponing tasks.

    Here’s what we’ll cover:
    1- Why procrastination is NOT part of your identity (so stop saying, “I’m just a procrastinator”)
    2- How society actually reinforces procrastination patterns (and how to break them)
    3- The difference between postponing a task and thinking about doing it but never starting
    4- The real cost of procrastination—not just time, but your mental energy
    5- A simple 3-step framework (AAR: Awareness, Acceptance, Reframe) to shift from overthinking to action

    The question is: Who do you want to become?

    If you’re done with the excuses and ready to take back control of your time and energy, this episode is for you.

    Your challenge: After listening, choose one thing you’ve been procrastinating on and take the first step today! Then DM me or drop a review, I want to hear what you did.
