Navigating Chaos: Overcoming Burnout with Dr. Eric Recker | Ep. 226

Have you ever felt like you were checking all the boxes but still running on empty? That’s exactly what my guest Dr. Eric Recker experienced. In this episode, Eric shares his journey from burnout to intentional living, and how he’s now helping others do the same by learning to #WINtheNOW.
Eric is a dentist, pilot, author, keynote speaker, coach, and mountain climber—someone who has lived life at full speed. But after hitting a breaking point, he realized something had to change. Now, in what he calls the second half of life, he’s choosing presence over pressure and purpose over perfection.
We talk about the moment he knew he had to make a change, what #WINtheNOW really means, and how to create a life that isn’t just full, but fulfilling. Eric shares his 5 Principles of #WINtheNOW and why slowing down might be exactly what you need to move forward.
This conversation is a breath of fresh air for anyone feeling stretched too thin. If you’re craving more intention and less burnout, you’ll love this episode.

Feeling Stuck? This Might Be Why (And It's not Burnout) | Ep. 225

In this episode, I unpack a surprising reason you might be feeling stuck: demoralization. Unlike burnout, which is all about exhaustion, demoralization comes from a disconnect between what you’re doing and what actually matters to you.
I share how this often-overlooked experience shows up, why rest alone doesn’t fix it, and how realignment—not just recovery—is the key to feeling motivated again. You’ll hear how mindful planning and purpose-driven goals can help you reconnect to what lights you up.
If you’ve tried all the usual burnout cures and still feel off, this one’s for you.

If your current planning system feels like a mismatch for your life, you’re not alone. In this episode, I introduce Focus Blocks — a core part of my flexible flow planning method that helps you align your energy, values, and schedule.
We’ll explore four types of blocks: Focus, Flow, Admin, and Anchor time — and how each supports different kinds of work and life rhythms. This isn’t about cramming more in; it’s about working smarter with your natural energy.

I'm Exhausted But I Don't Know How To Slow Down: How Setting Goals Can Actually Slow You Down | Ep. 231

In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to be completely worn out—juggling work, parenting, and big life changes—and how I’ve learned to slow down without losing momentum. I know the fear that everything will fall apart if you stop pushing, but I’m here to share why that doesn’t have to be true.
I talk about the mindset shift that helped me most: seeing planning not just as time management, but as personal development. When I started treating my calendar and task list as tools to support the life I actually want, everything changed.
I also introduce the Flow Planning Method, a system I use and teach that blends structure and flexibility so we can stay focused, aligned with our values, and responsive to real life. Plus, I invite you to join my free consistency challenge and planning course—two supportive spaces to help you take action without burning out.
This episode is all about reclaiming your energy, honoring your limits, and planning in a way that feels kind, not rigid. If you’ve been running on empty, I hope this helps you reconnect with what matters and find a pace that works for you.

How Planning and Goal Setting Make You a Better Example for Your Kids | Ep. 230

I also share simple practices we use as a family—like shared check-ins and celebrating wins—that help us all stay connected and grounded. If you’ve been craving more balance between your ambitions and parenting, this episode is for you.

Get Unstuck: Why Tiny Habits May Fail You and When to Embrace 10x | Ep 227

In this episode, I talk about the difference between Tiny Habits and bold 10x shifts. Tiny Habits help build momentum, especially when you’re feeling stuck or burnt out—but sometimes, small steps just keep you spinning your wheels.

Whether you're building consistency or ready to leap, this episode will help you decide what kind of move you need next.
