It all started with a question.  I was listening to a live stream from one of my favorite people and this question rocked my world.

What would this look like if it was easy?

It was like lightening went off in my brain. I had always know that the "key" to success in life was asking better questions. But I never thought of ANYTHING being easy.

I thought that if it was easy, then I didn't deserve it.  That the only way things would stay in my life, like money or joy is if I worked really hard for it.

It's not surprising that I thought this way when everyone I knew always made it a point to talk smack about anyone that "had it easy".   It was the same story.  If it was easy, then they didn't deserve their money or success.

So you can see why this one question rocked my world.  Listen to today's podcast to learn more about the two biggest questions I am constantly asking myself and family.

There is this weird thing that we as a society don't talk about.  Most of us are addicted to social media but we can't answer why.

We can't answer what we are getting out of it.   Or why we get online basically every five minutes.  We cant even answer why we are REALLY posting another picture of our food.

All of this "obligation" to social media is keeping us stuck and making some of us sick. In this podcast episode I tell the story of a best friend and how obligations to a platform made her life hell.

I also go into the story of how I shifted my mindset around social media. Along with the four questions I now ask anyone that is ready to go on a break.

Living an intentional life for me didn't come easy.  In this podcast, I go over my story of how I started this journey over 7 years ago.

But just because that is my story doesn't mean that it has to be your story too.  I go over a bunch of resources and tip that can help you shorten your journey.

Everything from exploring idea of how you want to live your life. Even when you dont know how to start. All the way to helping teach people in your life of how you want to be treated.

This podcast is probably not going to be for the faint of heart.  In this episode I get raw around the biggest issues I see around people not asking for help.

Regardless if you think that you are not worthy of help. Or just don't know the right words to say to actually get help. I have some great examples in this episode for you.

I go over what I feel is the three biggest issues around asking for help.

Here is to asking for help. Feeling worthy and getting more things done. So you can do what really matters most.  Spending time how you really want it. Not just on the minutia of life.

Since its the new year. I have a few questions to ask yourself before setting new year resolution goals. Instead of setting the same boring goals that everyone does. I'm not a fan of setting goals just because everyone else is doing them.

I also hate it when people set goals but there is not meaning or passion behind them.   Why not take it up a notch.  Why not dream bigger and think bigger.  Why not have your life look more like that hidden pinterest board you have.

Now, goals don't only have to be set on new years.  I've set them on my birthday or when I had a big life change.  Its always a good time to set a new goal.  The primary goal is to feel good. So with that being said. Here are the questions below.

Have you ever gotten to a point in the week that you can’t tell which way was up? That there are so many tasks that need to be done, but no matter how much you work you don’t feel like you can keep up.

This weeks podcast deals with overwhelm. I also have a super handy template in evernote that you can use to make life simpler.

If your thinking that you have tried EVERYTHING before to get things out of your head. I bet you haven’t tried this.

This is my simple and portable system that I use to get things out of my head and onto a checklist.

When you are listening to the podcast and creating you own list. Remember two things.

First, that no matter how big or small your brain dump is doesn’t make you a bad person.

I talk alot about evernote in this podcast because im a major fan of keeping things simple. I use to try paper list in the past, but then when I was at the grocery store and remembered something. Well I would start a new list.

It grew to the point that I had multiple list and they all were missing something.

Now when that happens. I just grab my phone or laptop and pull up Evernote. Then go to the list that I have bookmarked and add it there. No more hunting for tasks or trying to remember it all.

Instead way more of my energy and time is spend working on getting things done and spending as much time as I can with my babies.

Check out all seven steps below and dont forget to share your lightbulb moment with me in the comments.

Show Notes

As, I promised a few weeks ago. I have been creating a podcast for you. It will be diving deep into how I have cleared clutter, both mentally and physically. In my own life i’ve been craving more space and more time.

I’ve been lucky over the years to have come across some amazing resources, but was super sad that they just didn’t seem to be that popular.

Instead everyone was so worried about hustling more and staying up 24/7.  I have been there and done that. I had hustled myself until I got sick and still went into work. I have pulled 18 hour days and busted my ass.

But what the “hustlers” don’t tell you is that its not sustainable. Sure, we all need to dig deep and pull a big day now and then. But this should not be the norm.

They also don’t ever mention the toll that it takes on your family or your body.  Its a single minded metric that is just broken.

So instead of giving you more content to make you feel like your not enough,  here is content that will help you get the important things done.

So that you can do what you really want to. Reclaim your time, spend more time with your family, and do more of what lights you up.

The podcast link is below and I would love it if you shared this with another woman that you care about.
