Time is the single most valuable thing we have. I help busy business owners get out of overwhelm to work fewer hours in their business (without sacrificing income!) so they can get back to enjoying their business and their life again.
Even time coaches struggle with time management
Hello Reader!
"Maybe I'll feel like it tomorrow."
"I don't have the energy for that today."
"I look like crap and didn't put on makeup so I can't."
So many excuses for why today, why NOW, isn't the right time. When do you just have to suck it up and do it anyway?
I'm struggling with that today. I literally just told myself "I'll try tomorrow and hope I feel more up to it."
But I don't know what tomorrow will bring! It could be better. Or it could be even worse! I should just suck it up and do it, right?
But then I wonder about that "should"...is it a "should" that is serving me? Or is it one that's been artificially imposed on me, through upbringing, societal pressure, or internalized ideas of what "success" looks like? Of what "hard work" looks like and its value?
In this case, I think this is a "should" that is actually good for me. Taking video of myself (crappy or not) talking about my business, my story, and my insights will be great for my business long term. Think of all the marketing opportunities! So much content I could recycle and use for weeks! It would be working hard once.
So in this case, yes, I think I will go touch up my appearance (so I feel confident, not due to gendered beauty norms, to be clear!!) and just do the thing. Because my future self will thank me. Because I worked through it by typing it out. Because my dirty secret is that even time coaches struggle with time management.
Breathe deep. Drink plenty of water. You got this!

Hey Reader, This affirmation is one I come back to again and again. I have all the time I need. It's an oldie but a goodie. Like a timeless LBD, it never goes out of style or use. When we strip everything else away, we have enough time for what we need. Enough time to sleep, to nourish our bodies/minds/souls, to care for others, to do meaningful work. It's all that other shit that gets in the way! Things like: Calls and texts at all hours.App notifications that pop up on their time line, not...

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same again this week: I am always in the right place at the right time for what’s meant to be. I'll be honest: this affirmation hasn't been resonating super well with me. I haven't seen any movement on the job/money/gigs front. I don't feel like I'm in the right place. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of chaos happening in our country right now and I keep re-opening decisions I thought I'd made & put behind me. But when I look back over the past two...
