9. How I Discovered Life Systems (and Why They Changed Everything)
This one’s personal. I’m sharing the real story behind how Life Systems came to be—not from a Pinterest board, but from rock-bottom moments of burnout, grief, and a WTF-do-I-do-now season. From learning how to ask for help to teaching my daughter the magic of shared chores (yes, even bathroom duty), I walk you through how I created something that finally made life feel doable again.
Spoiler: It all started with one simple system.
⏱️ Episode Timestamps00:00 – Intro: The Idea That Changed Everything
That “what if” moment in February 2022 when I realized I could flip standard operating procedures into something personal.
00:35 – Welcome to Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness
The vibe check: real talk, a few F-bombs, and plenty of “omg same” moments.
01:22 – From Defeat to a New Beginning
Grieving my dad, navigating chronic illness, and sitting in silence with one big question: What now?
03:03 – From SOPs to Life Systems
Why “personal standard operating procedures” didn’t click—and how a name change made everything finally land.
03:31 – The Household Harmony System
The first system I built: learning to ask for help at home and letting go of being the do-it-all mom.
04:38 – Teaching My Daughter (and Myself) Responsibility
Bathroom or dishes? The chore delegation saga begins—and how it shifted our whole dynamic.
07:10 – It’s All a Journey
No perfect system, no overnight fix—just progress, real-life learning, and tiny wins that add up.
08:16 – Outro: Your Life System Starts Here
If one system can change your life, imagine what a few more could do. You in?
