Ever feel like your to-do list is running you instead of the other way around?

🌀 The appointments, the kids’ activities, hosting responsibilities, family coming to town, holiday prep, and somewhere in there — you still need time to breathe?

In today’s episode, Melissa gets honest about overwhelm, anxiety, and the powerful practice that helps her reset and return to peace every single week: faith-first planning using the weekly spread inside the Anchored With Purpose Planner.
