It's finally here, THE episode you guys have been asking for -- my journey to reading 100 books in a year.
During this solo episode I'm sharing how I found my passion for reading all over again, and how I use it today as a form of self-care. We're also diving into my favorite niche of books, my top tips on utilizing all of the different book formats to your advantage, and how to use book reading as a gateway to form new habits in both your personal life and your business.

Annie is the owner + founder of Efficiently Annie LLC. After earning her MBA and with a decade in corporate marketing and operations experience under her belt, she ditched the power suit in pursuit of something more fulfilling. Led by her knack for project management and process organization, she developed a reputation as a dynamic and dependable virtual assistant. But it wasn’t long before she began to realize the need for creative businesses owners to build a stronger foundation of simple, streamlined, repeatable workflows that would sustain them as they evolved and inevitably grew.
In this episode, Annie is sharing so many little nuggets of wisdom on how you can truly find the balance you need to design and live life on your terms. Annie is a master when it comes to systems, especially (my favorite) Asana, but her journey wasn't always as smooth sailing as it is today. As she dives into what success means to her, and only her, Annie also touches on her many moments of pivoting in her business and why giving yourself permission to be you will provide the room your business needs to grow and evolve the way it's supposed to.

Have you ever wanted or needed to take time off from your business but felt so much pressure to keep the wheels moving that you didn't even feel like it was an option? In this episode I'm sharing how I was able to take 2 full months off from my business (without it imploding!) - the systems I put in place and the mindset I had to allow myself to do take the time off. I'm also sharing what I'm doing to improve on this in the future. And how you too can set yourself up for success (including a freebie).

The other day I was talking to one of my clients about her podcast queue and how long it was, not to mention the 100+ unread emails sitting in her inbox from email lists she’d subscribed to. She was feeling totally overwhelmed by it and guilty that she wasn’t able to “get to it all.” So I shared a story with her from a few months after I started my first business. I was subscribed to over 1000 email lists and tried to read as many of them as I could - with a handful that I absolutely read every day. And this was back when people were regularly sending emails 5 days a week. There came a point where consuming that much content was actually undermining my confidence and ability to run my own business and I had to let go of them, stop consuming so much, and start taking action.You see, when I was focusing on trying to get through all that content and never miss out on a single piece of advice or tip or roadmap (or whatever else they were selling me), I no longer saw myself as the intelligent, confident person I'd always identified with. I don't want any of you to go as far down that rabbit hole as I did -- so in today's solo episode I'm sharing my story of how I took back my expertise and confidence when it came to consuming the right type of content that serves me and my business, and began living life as the best version of myself.
Want to chat about how you can take back your expertise or let go of the constant FOMO? DM me over on instagram - I’d love to chat with you about it!
If it's adding noise, get rid of it ASAP. If it's adding value, keep it but give yourself permission to NOT have to read/listen to it all.
Trust that the right content will get in front of you at the right time for you to use it.

In fact, they apply to your entire business. I'm also recapping the most played episodes, the most popular advice from Season 1, and what you can expect this season!
By popular demand I'm bringing back the "This or That" segment! (Y'all spoke LOUD and clear on instagram stories - 100% of you that voted wanted it back.) And... we are starting a book club! Details are coming soon in a separate episode. We'll be reading our first book together all summer and chatting about it in August. First up is Essentialism.
