Have you ever found yourself dreaming big but thinking, "I don't even have the energy to double what I'm doing now, let alone increase it tenfold"? That's precisely where I found myself, pondering whether 10x could indeed be easier than 2x. Let me take you through this exploration of mindset and strategy shift, unpacking what it means to truly 10x an area of your life, whether it be your business, personal growth, or relationships.We've all heard the saying "go big or go home," right? But what does going big really mean? For many of us, it means creating tangible and impactful change in our lives or businesses. The concept of 10x versus 2x isn't just about working harder. It's about working smarter and transforming your approach altogether.While listening to Dr. Ben Hardy, co-author of "10x is Easier than 2x," I actually started to get really excited by this concept. Initially, it seemed merely like a catchy marketing line. However, the concepts within proved to be transformative. The idea is that our identities shift roughly every ten years, but with intentional goals, we can significantly accelerate this process.Reflect on what it would mean to 10x an area of your life and identify what's stopping you. Confront those barriers, whether it's a lack of energy, time, or environmental support.I invite you to reflect on what it would mean to 10x an area of your life and identify what's stopping you. Confront those barriers, whether it's a lack of energy, time, or environmental support. Often, the first step in overcoming obstacles is recognising them.LINKSApply for Peak Revival here: www.peakrevival.com Double Your Energy Masterclass: https://training.vesnahrsto.com/email-webinar-registration Website: www.vesnahrsto.comMentioned in this episode:Website

Clarity is currency
What if the thing holding you back from your next breakthrough isn't a lack of strategy, resources or time, but simply too much noise in your head? As an ambitious woman juggling multiple responsibilities, you already know what it feels like to carry a heavy mental load. While you can’t avoid facing challenges in life and business, you can find more mental clarity, which will impact everything from your bottom line to your relationships.The Power of Mental ClarityWe simply don't perform well when we’ve got too much on our minds. And as high-performing women, we often carry more mental weight than we realise. But when your mind is clear, you have the space and freedom to tap into your most creative thinking. This isn't just about business. Mental clarity affects every aspect of your life.But how often do you find yourself stuck in destructive thought loops? Worry, negativity and mental noise does nothing but interfere with your potential.What would shift for you if you gave yourself permission to step back and clear the mental noise?LINKSApply for Peak Revival here: www.peakrevival.com Double Your Energy Masterclass: https://training.vesnahrsto.com/email-webinar-registration Website: www.vesnahrsto.comMentioned in this episode:Website

The CEO’s Secret Weapon: Mental Bandwidth
If you're a CEO, founder or in any leadership position, you know the entrepreneurial journey is a wild ride. Some days everything just clicks: you're in the zone, decisions come easily and you're ticking things off your list. Other days? Even the simplest tasks feel like dragging yourself up a mountain. The difference isn't just about how busy you are. It's about your mental and emotional bandwidth, and it might just be the most underrated tool in your leadership arsenal. Today we're exploring what mental bandwidth actually is, why it fluctuates and how it impacts everything from your decision making to your team's morale.We’ll discuss how high bandwidth creates clarity, calm and quick thinking, while low bandwidth clouds judgment and makes every bump feel like a crisis. I share my own experience getting trapped in worry spirals when setting up my online business, thinking all that stress meant I was dedicated when really I was just burning through my bandwidth. We explore why stress doesn't actually come from external challenges but from our internal reactions, and how low bandwidth days make stress feel completely overwhelming even though we're generating it ourselves.This is the real bottleneck in business: mental chatter, overthinking and catastrophising that drains bandwidth instead of solving problems. I share practical steps to tune into your bandwidth levels, recognise what supports your high bandwidth days and break the cycle of negativity. Mental bandwidth is one of the most powerful tools you have as a leader, and when you understand it and work with it, everything changes.LINKSApply for Peak Revival here: www.peakrevival.com Double Your Energy Masterclass: https://training.vesnahrsto.com/email-webinar-registration Website: www.vesnahrsto.comMentioned in this episode:Website

Nutrition for overworked, successful women
The internet is flooded with conflicting dietary advice. Keto? Carnivore? Low carb? Fasting? If you're a busy, successful woman who's found herself googling nutrition advice at midnight feeling more stressed than reassured, this episode is for you. Today we're cutting through the noise to talk about what your body actually needs right now. If you're constantly stressed and exhausted, jumping straight into the latest diet trend might be making things worse. We explore why stress disrupts everything from digestion to hormones and why certain popular protocols might be pouring petrol on a fire when you're already running on empty.We’ll talk about the surprising role carbohydrates play in managing stress and why they've been unfairly villainised. I share why you need to calm your nervous system before diving into fasting or restrictive plans, and the foundational work that has to happen first before any advanced protocol will actually work. We discuss gut health, liver detoxification and why skipping these steps sets you up for failure. We also cover when fasting, keto and carnivore diets might be useful, and more importantly, when they're not.There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. What works for someone else might completely backfire for you. Your body has its own story, stress load and healing timeline. When you apply dietary strategies in the right order, everything shifts. More energy, better sleep, clearer thinking. That's when real transformation happens.LINKSApply for Peak Revival here: www.peakrevival.com Double Your Energy Masterclass: https://training.vesnahrsto.com/email-webinar-registration Website: www.vesnahrsto.comMentioned in this episode:Website

The antidote to stress
Most advice we’re given for stress management is to get more sleep, take supplements or meditate. While these methods are beneficial, they only address stress after it's already taken its toll. What if there were two unconventional antidotes that could combat stress before it becomes overwhelming?Understanding the Nature of ThoughtMost of us associate stress with external challenges or overwhelming workloads. But at its core, stress stems from our thoughts and perceptions. Stress doesn’t come from life's challenges but from our anticipation of what might be ahead. This anticipatory stress triggers tension and anxiety in the body, regardless of whether those outcomes actually materialise. One new thought can interrupt the entire stress cycle, allowing your mind to access the intelligence that's always available when you're not trapped in old patterns. That single shift in perspective can be the difference between staying stuck in stress and stepping into clarity and resilience.Cultivating Trust in YourselfThe second antidote to stress is trust—trust in yourself and your ability to navigate challenges. True resilience lies in the confidence that you have the resources to overcome any obstacle.Think about a challenging event you faced in the past. Maybe it was a health scare, a professional setback or a relationship breakdown. Each time you emerged stronger, you reinforced your capacity to handle future challenges. Business is inherently unpredictable, but having faith in your capacity to adapt and solve problems is an antidote to stress.Have you recognised how your thoughts drive your experiences? Do you trust your ability to navigate life's ups and downs? I’d love to hear from you.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Website
