When we think about finding peace in our day-to-day lives, we might not think about flexibility or “rolling with the punches.” But for my friend Nealy Fischer, flexibility is how she’s created a life she loves — one where she doesn’t dread going to work, feels inspired often, and has time to show up for her family. And it’s how you can too, my friend! In this episode, we’re going to talk about how Nealy got to where she is today and her advice for adopting a more “flexible” approach to life.

How to Be Productive with a Purpose featuring Tanya Dalton
How many times have you thought, “I can do it all,” only to realize that you could NOT, in fact, do it all? We’ve all been there. As mothers, business owners, and women operating in this world, we’re conditioned to believe that we have to do everything ourselves, or we’ve failed in some way. But in this episode of the It’s About Time podcast, I had the chance to chat with Tanya Dalton, author of “The Joy Of Missing Out.” She walked me through her framework for making small huge moves and talked about the gift of delegating in life — whether that’s at home or work!

Decision Time: How Our Toughest Choices Become Our Best Choices featuring Rachel Greiman
Sometimes, the best things happen when you take an unexpected step back from the daily hustle of running a business. Rachel Greiman discovered this when COVID-19 shut down daycares, and she was forced to delegate more of her copywriting projects to other writers. Though this led to a pay cut (at first) as she took on less client work herself, it ultimately led her to triple her business revenue the next year. Listen to this podcast episode to hear how making tough decisions might just be the BEST decision in the long run.
