In this episode, I reflect on a conference I recently attended and the profound insights I took away. Immersed in a room of growth-minded speakers, authors, and coaches, I felt the contagious energy of shared purpose and encouragement. Three major takeaways resonated deeply. First, I was challenged to identify whose opinions truly matter to me and focus on being irreplaceable to those key people—a lens to help prioritize amidst life's chaos. Next, I heard an unexpected perspective: perfectionists aren’t always pristine but are often "pile people," gathering unfinished projects in neat stacks out of a desire to get everything just right. Lastly, a concept called "life gate moments" stuck with me—those pivotal events that redefine our paths and values. These shifts are irreversible and often lead to growth and clarity. As we navigate life’s transitions, I encourage you to reflect on who you are irreplaceable to, tackle those perfectionist piles, and honor your life gate moments.

In this podcast episode, I share how the chaos of juggling multiple roles, ambitions, and obligations can leave us overwhelmed and disconnected from what matters most. Despite having a knack for planning, I struggled to maintain momentum after becoming a parent. My foggy, sleep-deprived mind forced me to rethink how I organized my life. I dive into five limiting thought patterns that kept me from effective planning, such as waiting for the "right time," striving for perfection, doubting my skills, fearing uncertainty, and struggling to ask for help. Through personal stories, I explore how shifting these patterns allowed me to reclaim control and find joy in planning. It’s not about rigid schedules but creating space for meaningful reflection, connection, and action. I encourage listeners to challenge their own limiting beliefs and take small steps to embrace intentional planning, promising more clarity and purpose, if not complete ease, on this journey.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to get truly bored—and could boredom be the secret key to unlocking your creativity and achieving your goals? In this episode, we’re diving into the power of boredom and how it can actually fuel creativity, clarity, and even help you achieve your 2025 goals. Inspired by the book Bored and Brilliant by Manoush Zomorodi, I’ll break down why boredom isn’t something to avoid—it’s an opportunity for deep thinking and creativity. With our constant connection to phones and technology, we rarely give our minds the space to wander, and that’s where the magic happens. I’ll also share the Bored and Brilliant Challenge, a series of small, intentional steps to minimize distractions and reclaim your creative spark. From letting yourself get bored in line to embracing tech-free walks, this episode is all about reframing boredom as a tool for growth. Let’s talk about how boredom can spark new ideas, fuel your well-being, and bring more creativity into your life. You might just find it’s the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed!

Book a free 30-minute strategy session with me!  Are you tired of rigid goal-setting systems that feel overwhelming and want a fun, creative approach that actually prioritizes your well-being? In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why the Plan Goal Plan method is different from other time management and goal-setting systems out there.

The Plan Goal Plan method flips the script by helping you plan in a way that prioritizes your well-being and personal development, without sacrificing your ambition. I’ll walk you through how this approach centers on getting clarity first—before jumping into goals—and uses creative tools like stickers and doodling to make planning fun, not a chore. This episode is especially for women who’ve spent years putting others first and want to reclaim their time and joy while thriving both at work and at home.
