April Reset: Planning Softly, Faithfully, & With Purpose
Lupus Speaks & Chronically Planned Podcast | Hosted by Shedrica Shant’eThe Shift into Q2 & Personal ReflectionThe truth is — this past season was heavy. As women navigating chronic illness, we often face seasonal depression, mental health shifts, and the pressure to “keep up” when our bodies simply say otherwise.

In this episode, I share openly about how I’ve been moving through functional depression, and why as we step into Spring, I’m focusing on soft planning — choosing to refresh, reorganize, and give myself grace without the guilt of starting over.

Whether you’re dealing with health challenges, family responsibilities, or just feeling overwhelmed, this is your gentle reminder:
You don’t have to hustle your way into Q2 — you have permission to slow down and still make progress.

What’s Coming on the Podcast This MonthThis season is about alignment, not pressure. Here’s what you can expect in April:

✔ April 9 — Planning with Your Body
How I’ve been learning to plan based on my cycle, energy, and capacity — instead of forcing productivity.

✔ April 30 — Choosing the Right Planner & Building Your Soft Planning System
