If you're feeling drained—even by good things—you’re not alone. In this episode, I share how I’m creating a “Year of Ease” using realistic time management, energy protection, and intentional decision-making to create breathing room and feel more grounded in daily life.

In this episode, I unpack what’s been working (and what hasn’t) in my own Year of Ease and how you can apply these strategies in your own life if you're balancing a demanding career and full personal life. You’ll learn:

How to assess and reduce your activity load (even the “fun stuff” can drain you)
The impact of sleep (and alcohol, caffeine, and chocolate!) on energy and emotional reserves
Why reducing noise and input—even from podcasts and social media—can help calm a frantic-feeling brain
How realistic planning and honest reflection on your personal bandwidth can create more ease

This isn’t about perfection or a spa-day life—it’s about crafting a season of life that runs more smoothly and supports your real needs right now.

Whether you’re a professional woman, a working mom, or both, tune in to explore how to realistically manage your energy, time, and life with more calm and clarity.
