Episode 152: How do I Prioritize


Listen Later

In this uplifting episode, Autumn Carter welcomes Dr. Amelia Duran-Stanton—a Colonel in the U.S. Army, physician assistant, educator, and author of The LOTUS Within: Grow Your Purpose and Ignite Your Passion. Together, they explore the art of strategic planning, time management, and prioritization through the lens of personal growth, resilience, and self-compassion.


Dr. Duran-Stanton shares her remarkable journey from her roots in the Philippines to over three decades of military service, weaving in lessons on leadership, purpose, and the power of helping others while maintaining self-care. The conversation blossoms into a deep reflection on how we can all create structure and meaning in our lives without losing sight of who we are. Listeners will find encouragement to balance ambition with rest, to plan boldly while staying flexible, and to nurture the “big rocks” that matter most—family, health, and legacy.


They also discuss her workbook-style approach to The LOTUS Within, guiding readers to rediscover passion and purpose through reflection, journaling, and strategic life design. Whether you’re a professional juggling roles, a parent seeking balance, or someone craving direction, this episode offers tangible insight on how to take control of your time and craft a life of alignment and intention.
