If you're feeling drained—even by good things—you’re not alone. In this episode, I share how I’m creating a “Year of Ease” using realistic time management, energy protection, and intentional decision-making to create breathing room and feel more grounded in daily life.

In this episode, I unpack what’s been working (and what hasn’t) in my own Year of Ease and how you can apply these strategies in your own life if you're balancing a demanding career and full personal life. You’ll learn:

• How to assess and reduce your activity load (even the “fun stuff” can drain you)

• The impact of sleep (and alcohol, caffeine, and chocolate!) on energy and emotional reserves

• Why reducing noise and input—even from podcasts and social media—can help calm a frantic-feeling brain

• How realistic planning and honest reflection on your personal bandwidth can create more ease

This isn’t about perfection or a spa-day life—it’s about crafting a season of life that runs more smoothly and supports your real needs right now.

Whether you’re a professional woman, a working mom, or both, tune in to explore how to realistically manage your energy, time, and life with more calm and clarity.
