In this episode of the Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David Godfrey reveal the deeper reasons high-performing women struggle with consistency in health, fitness, and life.

It’s not your calendar.

It’s not your to-do list.

It’s your identity.

If you’ve ever felt like no system is “the system” that will help you stay in shape year-round, or that you’re always just one launch, one crisis, one deadline away from dropping your standards—this episode is your mirror.

Rachel and David break down two of the biggest patterns sabotaging high achievers:

• The Human Doing: Tying your self-worth to how productive you are.
  
  
• Completion Addiction: Obsessing over getting things finished before you “deserve” to rest, eat, or live your life.

They share how these patterns played out in their own careers, what really changed things, and why most people confuse perfectionism with high standards (spoiler: they’re not the same thing).

You'll also learn:

• Why your “flow state” might be bullsh*t
  
  
• How Rachel launched the ONYX app without burning out
  
  
• The one concept that separates A-players from overwhelmed overachievers
  
  
• Parenting, productivity, and finding the sweet spot between ambition and presence
  
  
• Why most people delay their goals in the name of being "smart"... and just end up stuck

This episode is for the woman who’s done with the excuses, the stress addiction, and the all-or-nothing mindset—and is ready to win across every area of life.
