How to Plan Your Week for Maximum Energy and Productivity (Without Burning Out) | Ep. 224

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’ll walk you through how to use these blocks in a weekly planning session and how they fit into the bigger Plan Goal Plan system. If you’re looking for more ease, clarity, and flexibility in your week, this episode is for you.

10 Powerful Changes You’ll See After Planning Your Year | Ep.233

If traditional planning systems have ever left you feeling pressured or burnt out, this episode offers a different approach. I share how I shifted from chasing productivity to building a planning practice that feels grounding, flexible, and deeply personal.
Through my own story of burnout and disconnection, I explain how planning became a tool for reflection and alignment—not just getting more done. It’s what led me to create Plan, Go Plan Your Year, a course designed to help you build a system that fits your actual life.
You’ll hear how small rituals, clear vision, and adaptable routines can bring more presence and peace to your days. If you’re ready to feel more connected to your goals (without the overwhelm), this episode is for you.

Breaking Glass Ceilings & Sticky Floors: Erica Rooney on Empowering Women at Work | Ep. 232

In this episode, I sit down with Erica Rooney—executive coach, speaker, and Chief People Officer—to talk about the hidden barriers that keep ambitious women feeling stuck. We dig into the idea of “sticky floors,” like perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing, and how they quietly hold us back from the leadership and life we want.
Erica shares her SNAP method, a simple framework to help you shift out of those patterns and into intentional, courageous action. We also talk about the power of mindset, the importance of values alignment, and what it really looks like to create success on your own terms. If you’ve been feeling stuck at the edge of your next move, this episode will help you get unstuck and moving forward.

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

In this episode, I share how planning and goal setting have helped me become a more present, less anxious parent. I talk about my journey through postpartum anxiety, and how creating structure in my life helped me show up more fully—for myself and my kids.
I’ve found that when I make space for my own goals, I’m not just growing personally—I’m also modeling resilience, intention, and follow-through. My kids see what it looks like to try, to adjust, and to keep going.
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.
 
imes just plain awful. I share personal stories, client feedback, and research on what really makes accountability work. Spoiler: it's not about control or shame; it’s about building systems that support you.
We talk about why so many people resist accountability (hint: nobody likes feeling micromanaged) and how internal vs. external accountability plays into it. I also break down how to create healthy, motivating accountability that actually helps you follow through — without feeling like a failure.
If you’ve ever struggled with accountability groups, hated check-ins, or just want a better way to stay on track, this episode will give you the tools and mindset shift you need. Plus, I invite you to join me in the Plan Goal Plan Your Year course for a fresh, supportive accountability experience!

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.
I share how to spot when it’s time to think bigger: when your system isn’t working, when effort isn’t paying off, or when you’re stuck in maintenance mode. That’s when a 10x shift—a bold change—can unlock serious growth.
Whether you're building consistency or ready to leap, this episode will help you decide what kind of move you need next.

How to Set Goals Like an Academic, an Artist, and an Alchemist | Ep. 226

In this episode, I’m rethinking the way we set goals. The classic “SMART goals” method works for some, but I believe there’s a more personalized approach. I introduce three archetypes—the Academic, the Artist, and the Alchemist—each offering a unique lens to help you find a goal-setting style that actually fits your life.
The Academic thrives on structure, clarity, and reflection. If you love systems and tracking progress, this method might speak to you. The Artist, on the other hand, leads with emotion and vision. Creative constraints, vision boards, and intuition help shape goals that feel alive and inspiring. Then there’s the Alchemist, who blends transformation with intentionality, using symbolism, ritual, and self-discovery to guide the journey.
I also share how I’ve moved between these styles in different seasons of life—and how powerful it can be to let your goals evolve with you. If you’re tired of rigid systems and want something that honors who you are, this episode will help you find a new way forward.
You’ll also hear about a free mini-course with tools to support you as you explore your own style. Whether you lean Academic, Artist, Alchemist—or a little of each—you’ll leave this episode with clarity and inspiration for what’s next.
