Struggling to find a clear path to where you want to go and what you want to do? Mia Moran, productivity coach, author, and creator of the FLOW planning method, gives us the gold on how to reduce overwhelm to achieve our goals.   

She recounts her "coffee cup moment"—when she faced up to exhaustion and overload and rethought her career and lifestyle. Making changes to turn her health around, she walked away from the successful graphic design firm she’d built and followed her true passion.  

She takes us inside her planning system, and shares tangible tools for how to slow down, be present, and listen to your intuition. Getting clear about what matters to you and making decisions from a place of calm prioritizes where to invest your time. 

We discuss the trade-offs of saying “yes” and “no” and the importance of letting go of what doesn’t serve you. Spending time on self care nurtures relationships and expands your capacity to be productive and give to others.  

In a world of piecemeal strategies, Mia gives you the system to go after your next “It Has To Be Me.” 

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• The priorities start with you.  
• Make a plan but be flexible about how you pursue your goals.  
• Join the FLOW community for support and accountability. 
• Getting what you want is a process of deciding and re-deciding.  
• Use your internal guidance system to make choices from the inside out.  
• Your body gives you signs about your “yes” and your “no”.  
• To learn and grow, celebrate and fold in all of your experiences.  
• Connect with your future self, who is already successful.
