Do you tell yourself you just need more time, more motivation, or more willpower? In this episode of Authors’ Allies, Rebecca sits down with success and personal growth coach Stacy Baxley, creator of INTENTIONAL, a simple framework that helps busy women stop living in survival mode and start designing their days with purpose.
Stacy shares how her 25 years in career development shaped the tools she now teaches women—clarity, confidence, goal-setting, decision-making, self-awareness, and follow-through—using 5–10 minute daily practices that actually stick.
You’ll hear how to choose a “word of the day,” identify your MVPs (Most Valuable Priorities), reframe negative thoughts, and create momentum without burnout… even if your calendar is already a trash fire. 😂📝✨
