In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I keep my business (and my sanity) intact without an army of fancy apps. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay organized between client calls, invoicing, and finding time to eat lunch—this is the coffee chat you didn’t know you needed.

Today, I’m talking about my totally unglamorous but shockingly effective way of running a service-based business—without Notion, Asana, or a hundred “productivity hacks.” I walk through how I’ve built a repeatable, sustainable system using simple tools. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by all the “must-have” tools, you’re absolutely in the right place.
Key Takeaways:
Let your calendar and inbox do the heavy lifting—no apps required.
Build your business processes around what actually works for you, not what looks impressive on Instagram.
Simplify whenever possible; sometimes, “ordinary” tools are all you need to thrive.
This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
