in today’s episode, we’re talking about how to stop getting stuck in the endless cycle of planning for the future without taking action in the present. we’ve all been there—dreaming big, making vision boards, saving tiktoks, but when it comes down to it, our daily life doesn’t change.

we chat through some practical tips like using your current habits as motivation, finding inspiration in the life you’re already living, and how to plan your week in a way that feels intentional, not overwhelming. we'll also discuss the power of time-blocking and how to make space for everything you care about! i hope this inspires you to live with intention THIS WEEK!
