#003: Rhythms, Routines, and Real Life – Building Sustainable Systems That Actually Work


Listen Later

Are you struggling to find a daily routine that works with your energy, your schedule, and your season of life—especially with young kids, ADHD tendencies, or a creative brain that resists structure?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’m building flexible daily rhythms that support my personality, my family, and my creative work. From ADHD-friendly time blocking to a fresh take on meal planning and kitchen management, I’m sharing what’s helping me find flow and stay consistent—without the burnout.

You’ll hear:

  • How recognizing my ADHD traits helped me shift my approach to routines and systems

  • Why I use rhythm blocks instead of rigid schedules—and how they’re helping me create before I consume

  • What it means to be the “household wellness leader” and how that mindset shift is impacting our family’s health

  • My process for a kitchen reset, including pantry clean-out, creating a staples inventory and running our home kitchen like a well-stocked restaurant

  • A breakdown of my 3x3 meal planning system and how I stay organized using the Notes app and Pinterest

  • Real-life insight into building sustainable habits while raising kids, managing shifting schedules, and navigating imperfect days

If you’re a creative mom, multi-passionate person, or someone who’s always “tried routines” but nothing sticks—this episode will meet you right where you are.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s talk real-life rhythms, creative flow, and leading your home with intention.
