Today we talked with Meagan Beltekoglue about cutting out the noise in the digital and workspace. It's so easy to get bombarded with digital noise, from new articles, to emails, to newsfeeds. It can literally be never ending. Meagan and I talk about mindfulness when it comes to our digital consumption and share a few easy to take steps to set boundaries and reduce the digital noise that's preventing you from getting work done, or invading your personal life.

Meagan Beltekoglu is the owner of New Leaf Digital which  gives multi-passionate women expert strategies and solutions with ClickUp (and more) to simplify, systemize, and innovate at work and at home.

Today we talk about stress and burnout and their effects with a life coach, Jennifer Schwytzer. Jennifer obtained a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2007 and is licensed to practice in the state of NY, currently working part-time as a mental health therapist. In 2020, a medical crisis allowed her the opportunity to dive into personal development which led to a shift in her career. She graduated from Health Coach Institute in 2022 with Certification in Life Coaching and shortly after launched KINDfulness Coaching where she works with women to eliminate burnout and manage stress to live happier, more fulfilled lives.
