Listen Later

We all love a fresh planner… but what if the real secret to lasting productivity isn’t found in another colour-coded to-do list?

In this episode, I’m diving into the four psychological skills that will help you get more done, with less overwhelm and more intention. These are the skills that fuel real change and sustainable motivation, especially for purpose-driven people who want to live more connected, meaningful lives.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

  • “I know what I want, so why can’t I follow through?”

  • “I’ve got 6 planners and I’m still stuck…”

  • “Maybe it’s just me…”

    …this one’s for you.

    We’re unpacking the acronym HERO and exploring small, actionable mindset shifts that build momentum where it matters.

    You’ll walk away with:

    ✅ Fresh insight into what might really be keeping you stuck
    ✅ A toolkit of evidence-based mental skills you can strengthen this week
    ✅ A free journal download to help you turn these ideas into action
