124: Take Back Your Time: How the Bright Method Helps You Feel Less Overwhelmed with Kelly Nolan
The Midlife Momentum Podcast
Outro
Debbie and Kelly wrap up, share Kelly's free five-day program and contact links, and close the episode.
You may find yourself feeling like your calendar is working against you.
Where even the simplest week feels like a game of emotional Tetris.
That’s exactly why I brought Kelly Nolan onto the podcast this week.
Kelly is a former attorney who turned her own overwhelm into a realistic, flexible system called The Bright Method.
And she gets it.
She understands the invisible load women carry: the logistics, the appointments, the planning, the mental clutter...
And she knows how to turn all of it into something you can actually breathe inside of.
Her method isn’t about productivity for productivity’s sake.
It’s about clarity, space, and confidence.
It’s about seeing the truth of your time so you can stop beating yourself up and start making decisions from a grounded, empowered place.
Inside this episode, we dive into:
✨ Making the “invisible load” truly visible
✨ Why your time struggles are not a character flaw
✨ How digital calendaring reduces stress (and gives you back mental energy)
✨ Estimating time realistically, without the shame spiral
✨ The surprising way this method improves relationships
I'm just as passionate and geeky about time management, and I could have talked to Kelly for days.
I really hope you take just one valuable nugget from our conversation and give it a try.
It can change your life.
Keep moving forward,
Debbie
