Hey friends! In this personal episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my summer journey. I've been focusing on mindfulness, avoiding rushing through the season, and protecting my energy during our time in the Midwest. 

This summer has been about intentional living - from setting boundaries in social situations to experimenting with my diet by cutting out added sugar. I discovered some interesting insights about decision-making and how small dietary changes can impact inflammation. Looking ahead to fall, I'm excited about some big changes coming to my business (tune in next week for the full reveal!). I'm planning a photo shoot, preparing for the next Calendar Blocking Blueprint launch, and scheduling family photos. I'm also embracing my "future self" vision - becoming a more present mother and business owner, allowing myself to be softer and more feminine in my approach. This means making intentional choices, like updating my daughters bedroom and being more open to spending on things that matter. If you're loving the podcast, please leave a review and come say hi on Instagram!

In this episode, I dive into five essential habits that have been game-changers for accomplishing goals. I break down the importance of following through on commitments, which builds trust with yourself and others. I share insights on accurately estimating task time, helping you manage your schedule more effectively. 

Setting boundaries is crucial - learning to say no more than yes protects your energy and priorities. I discuss the power of constantly assessing your calendar and using it as a strategic tool. Lastly, I explain how calendar blocking can transform your productivity by giving specific time slots to your tasks. These habits aren't about perfection, but about building skills gradually. 

Whether you're a business owner, parent, or professional, these strategies can help you stay focused, reduce overwhelm, and make meaningful progress towards your goals.

In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative concept that everything is a skill. I challenge listeners to reconsider limiting beliefs like "I'm not a morning person" or "I can't focus" by reframing these thoughts as opportunities for growth. I break down how shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset can unlock personal development. 

By identifying underlying skills behind our challenges, we can create actionable strategies for improvement. Whether it's time management, decision-making, or setting boundaries, I demonstrate how small, consistent practices can lead to significant personal transformation. 

Key takeaways include:

• Recognize thoughts as malleable, not fixed
• Break challenges into learnable skills
• Start with small, low-risk actions
• Practice consistently to build confidence

My goal? Empower you to see personal growth as a skill you can develop, one step at a time.

In this episode, I dive into the importance of planning, even when uncertainty looms. Drawing from my experience coaching a client and working in retail, I emphasize that having a plan provides direction and makes adapting easier than starting from scratch. 

I break down three calendar blocking techniques: 

• Specific time blocks (precise task scheduling)
• Large time blocks (broader time slots with detailed task descriptions)
• Flexible time blocks (adaptable scheduling around available time)

The key is to avoid leaving your calendar blank just because you're waiting on potential commitments. Instead, I recommend proactively mapping out your day, considering potential client meetings or unknown variables. By planning around these uncertainties, you can maintain productivity and feel more in control. I share a practical example of how to approach a day with potential client scheduling, suggesting ways to allocate time effectively. This episode underscores that planning isn't about creating a rigid schedule, but about giving yourself a framework for success!

Hey there, friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into a critical question: Are you giving up right before your breakthrough? I share a powerful story about the "Three Feet From Gold" narrative, which perfectly illustrates how close we often are to success when we're tempted to quit. 

Resistance isn't a stop sign - it's actually a signal that you're on the right path and growth is imminent. Drawing from my personal experiences and work with clients in Simplify, I explore how our mindset plays a crucial role in achieving goals. Many of us interpret challenges as reasons to give up, when in reality, they're opportunities for expansion. I use a relatable TikTok example of a 30-day health challenge to demonstrate how transformation takes time and commitment. 

The key message? Stay persistent. 

Your breakthrough might be just around the corner. Whether you're working on a business goal, personal development, or any significant challenge, remember: don't surrender when things get tough. You're likely much closer to your goal than you realize. Want more? Check out my free mini-course at simplifywithAmandaB.com/mini-course to supercharge your productivity.

In this episode, I dive deep into my mid-year review, sharing candid insights about my personal and professional journey. I discuss my transformative approach to health, including improving my relationship with food and reducing alcohol consumption. As a business owner, I reflect on the growth of Simplify with Amanda B, my coaching program designed to help entrepreneurs master time management and productivity.

Key highlights include launching the 30-Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint, which helps business owners supercharge their productivity, and plans for a 90-day Mastermind targeting established business owners making over $100,000. I'm transparent about my challenges, particularly consistency in social media marketing and podcast guest appearances.

My biggest takeaways? There's no such thing as "not enough time" - it's about prioritization. I've learned to be intentional about where I invest my energy, whether it's in my family, business, or personal growth.
