Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness

27. Build a Life System That Sticks


Listen Later

Here’s the thing no one tells you: your first life system isn’t about getting organized. It's about figuring out who you are right now, what season you’re in, and what you actually need.

In this episode, I’m sharing why starting small is actually your secret power when it comes to building systems that last. I’ll walk you through the mindset shift, my own caregiving story, and how to choose that one sticky spot in your life that’s begging for a system.

Because simplifying life’s beautiful bitchiness? Yeah…that starts right here.
