Planning isn’t about control, it’s about clarity.

In this solo episode, Leslie shares the planning rhythm that’s helped her stay grounded as a business owner, wife, and mom — especially in seasons where life is full and the “perfect plan” isn’t realistic.

This episode breaks intentional planning into three areas:

1. Planning with your partner/spouse (alignment starts with honest conversations)
2. Planning for your business (vision that builds ownership, not burnout)
3. Planning for yourself (health, energy, boundaries, and a pace that fits your season)
   

You’ll hear:

• The mindset shift behind “clarity over control”
• What visionaries need to make space for
• How Leslie plans with her spouse to stay aligned all year
• How she plans with her team so everyone feels part of the build
• Practical ways to make planning simple and sustainable
