  • How Can I Make Things Easier?

    Y’all won’t believe how many nuggets of knowledge are in this episode! My friend, Sophie, is an “all-in” person who loves a challenge. Her first run was a 12 mile Tough Mudder, she became a group fitness instructor to conquer the fear of public speaking she enjoys writing…. So, of course, she's self publishing her own novel “The Demon You Know” coming out in December of 2021.

    To give you a sneak peak, here are my key takeaways and questions we can ask ourselves each day

    1. “How can I make this easier?”
    2. “What can wait?”
    3. Save emails and repurpose them for later
    4. When a problem can't be solved right away, pivot.
    5. Resources mentioned during the interview

      The One Thing https://kellerink.com/products/the-one-thing

      Deep Work  https://www.calnewport.com/books/deep-work/

      Bonus: She called me back to add another book to the list

      Atomic Habits https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits

    6. Tying Up Loose Ends

      You just have so many unfinished teeny tiny tasks piling up, and keeping you from what you actually want to be doing.
      Your’e not alone. I know the feeling all too well.
      As we come to the end of 2021, it’s more important than ever to Wrap. That. Shit. Up….. The first time I did anything like this was during “The Art of Becoming A Coach” with Hillary Rubin. It has become one of my go to rituals to end the year!
      Get a notebook and pull up a seat, you won’t want to miss these actionable, simple steps for closing out 2021 with a bang and freeing yourself!

    9. Plan Your Freedom - Back to Basics Part 1
      Y'all, this was hard!  I'm a champagne sipping human being trying to work out how to be a podcaster :). In this first episode I share 4 keys that have helped get off burnout highway and on the road to freeing myself from overthinking, anxiety, busyness and overwhelm.  Reports showed that pre-pandemic nearly 75% of American works said "no matter how hard they work, they feel as if they are not doing enough."  Maybe you fall into that category.  Well, if you are tired of feeling like less than enough and willing to change, check out this perfectly imperfect 1st episode!
