Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness

29. Starting Small: How Flexible Systems Keep You From Burning Out


Listen Later

Ever feel like life is harder than it needs to be? In this episode, I share how I use small but mighty shifts (like my four-week infusion cycles) to manage chronic illness while keeping my life and biz flowing. We’ll talk about why starting small matters, how flexible systems create breathing room, and real client wins that prove messy progress is still progress.

If you’ve been juggling chaos, caregiving, or just too many to-dos, this episode is your permission slip to simplify the beautiful bitchiness of life, one tiny system at a time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
  • Why starting small is the real game-changer (not the big shiny reset)
  • How flexible systems support you through chronic illness and everyday curveballs
  • Ways to brain dump and delegate when you’re overwhelmed
  • Client stories that show how “messy middle” systems still create results
  • How to create breathing room without adding more to your plate
