After noticing “time blocking” highlighted in a popular time-management article, Lauren reflects on her ongoing struggle to protect open, unscheduled time. Blaine, who teaches time blocking to entrepreneurs inside the Conscious Business Builders Club, shares why she considers it a proven and surprisingly liberating method.

They have some fun discussing what time blocking really is: scheduling everything, including self-care, creative play, and even “free time” to reduce decision fatigue, close mental open loops, and increase focus and follow-through. Blaine explains how intentional structure can quiet the nervous system and support meaningful momentum.

But this isn’t a productivity pep talk. Lauren and Blaine explore the yin/yang dance between formless creativity and structured output. They dive into the tension between energy flow and discipline, the importance of protecting personal time, and how alone time fuels creative emergence. 

This episode offers a grounded, energetic lens on time, inviting you to experiment with flexible structure while honoring the sacred space where inspiration is born. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

In this solo episode, Lauren shares the story behind the first “Field Trip” she hosted through WhatWouldLouDo.com. This is a special project born of grief over her beloved puppy, Lou. Inspired in part by The Telepathy Tapes podcast and her exploration of near-death experiences and post-death communication, she introduces “the Field.” She explains that the field is an interconnected energetic space where guidance and signs can be received when we’re quiet, grounded, and open.

Lauren explains how these community Field Trips help build a shared “morphic field” to strengthen intuitive awareness, often through symbols, sensations, and subtle signals rather than words. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
