You have a picture in your head of what your life can BE for a reason, and sometimes balancing it all does feel impossible. Join your host Jamie Thurber as she takes you along her continued journey of intentionally creating a grounded lifestyle. She visits topics including learning that rest is actually NOT lazy, growing your business in a way that doesn’t take over your life, creating relationships that are supportive, reducing chaos overall, embracing sustainable habits, and more.
Jamie Thurber, Expert Operations Manager & Productivity Queen turned Mindset, Business, and Lifestyle Coach, spent years focused on what she could DO to design her life on her terms. Through challenging personal experiences, mindset & habit shifts, and a whole-body health transformation, she has spent the last few years accepting that BEING present in her life is actually more important than all of the things she was doing.
AI Should Make Your Life Easier, Not More Overwhelming | Ep 122
What if AI could help you create MORE space in your life instead of adding more noise?
In this episode of Operation Be, Jamie Thurber explores what it means to slow down, become present, and intentionally use the tools available to us to build a life that actually feels good.
In the first Be Seen segment, Jamie sits down with AI integration specialist Angelina Shively to talk about moving from AI overwhelm to AI integration. They break down how entrepreneurs can use AI as a thinking partner, why collecting prompts and tools isn’t enough, how to train AI to understand your voice and values, and practical ways AI can reduce the mental load in both business and everyday life. Plus, Jamie introduces Be Nourished, bringing intentional living into the kitchen with a quick, approachable meal designed for real life.
Because the goal isn’t to become more productive just for the sake of doing more. It’s about creating the clarity, freedom, and capacity to be more present in the life you’re already living. Operation Be — live with intention, build what feels true, and drop what doesn’t.

I Had to Stop Trying to Do Everything Myself | Ep 121
A lot has changed behind the scenes, and in this episode, I’m finally ready to share what’s coming next.
Over the past year, I’ve been navigating the realities of growing businesses, rebuilding after some incredibly difficult circumstances, and learning how to stop putting myself last in the process. I’ve had to recognize when I’m the bottleneck, when it’s time to push forward, and when it’s actually healthier to pause and trust that everything doesn’t have to happen overnight.
I’m also giving you a first look at the next chapter of Operation: Be. The show is evolving into something more dynamic, fun, and representative of all the different parts of my life—with new segments, shorter conversations, behind-the-scenes experiences, wellness, food, local businesses, products I love, and plenty more.
But underneath all of these updates is something much bigger: none of what you accomplish matters if you aren’t well enough to enjoy it. Sometimes you have to pause. Sometimes you have to admit that you’re the bottleneck. And sometimes you simply have to trust the process.
This is a new chapter—and I can’t wait to bring you along for it.

The Mental Traps Keeping You Stuck (And How to Escape Them) | Ep 120
We all create stories in our heads about what we have to do before we're allowed to succeed, be happy, or move forward. The problem? Most of those stories aren't real.
In this solo episode of Operation: Be, I share one of the biggest mindset shifts I've had in years after facing overwhelming challenges in both business and life. From discovering fraud in a company I invested in, to rebuilding multiple businesses, managing an undiagnosed chronic illness, and balancing the weight of everyday life, I found myself asking a simple question:
How do I get to the other side without staying trapped by my own thinking?
We'll explore why our minds create invisible rules that keep us stuck, how to recognize the traps you're living in, and practical ways to refocus your energy on what actually moves your life forward.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're carrying more than you can handle, this conversation is for you.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to break out of your mental traps:
