      • Working on the Beach feat. Kristen's Planner

        Season 2, Episode 16

        Kristen joins me from sunny Florida, literally on the ocean. She manages a marina with her husband from the beach.  She loves to collect data and watch reality tv. 

        Her natural style features many leather journals and layered paper findings and as always stickers. Her Instagram is like taking a vacation with sandy surf and supple planner covers!

        My guest says it so well...

        I am a Florida girl who enjoys the beach, boating, and a slow-paced lifestyle. I work with my husband to manage two marinas, and we switch off working in our office and caring for our two toddlers. I joined the family business after having our first son because I wanted to spend more time with him.  

        Before this, I worked in cognitive psychology and had a job testing IQ. I really enjoyed doing research in this field, and I think this tendency has carried over into planners for me. 

        They are essentially a way to collect data, and for some reason, I have the drive to do that.  I was thrilled to discover the planner community as I was changing careers because it helped me find my way in new territory and connect with others that share this trait!  

        Besides planning, my other hobbies are reading (I love British and Chinese fiction) and journaling (I have kept a journal since age 7).  I’m also a reality tv junkie!

        My Guests Bio:

        Amy started out her planning journey many years ago when she was looking for a way to organize all of the things swirling around in her brain!  She tried everything from digital planning to every style of paper planners. It wasn’t until February of 2019 that she finally decided to try out the Happy Planner that she had heard so much about and she fell in love nearly instantly! 

        Her passion for decorative planning quickly grew after that and she started sharing her spreads and creating videos as Beloved Plans (her name means Beloved!). She fell in love with the planner community at the same time and has never met a group of more inspiring, encouraging, and supportive women! 

        Amy lives in Rosemount, MN with her husband, Tony, and two kids. Tyson is nearly 15 and her daughter Bailey is almost 11. Amy has been a newborn and baby photographer for over 10 years and owns Ten Tiny Toes Photography.  She also runs a Real Estate Photography business with her business partner and is involved in many things locally and at her church.
