Hello, beautiful friend! Today’s episode is all about finding calm amidst the digital clutter. After relocating my workspace to escape harsh shadows and background noise, I’m excited to share five powerful steps to achieve an organized inbox.

Here’s a sneak peek of what I cover:

• Declutter Your Inbox: Use a tool like Unroll.Me to unsubscribe from emails that no longer serve you. This will free up space and reduce distractions, especially from promotions and unwanted newsletters.
• Label Effectively: Set up labels for key categories without going overboard. I use minimal labels for business but add more for personal emails (think finance, school, etc.). The goal is simplicity, not overwhelm!
• Transfer Tasks to Your Calendar: Avoid using your inbox as a to-do list. Instead, transfer tasks to your calendar, budgeting time for them to create a clearer inbox and a more focused workflow.
• Use Inbox Pause: This Google Chrome plugin prevents new emails from distracting you while working. It’s ideal for focused inbox time without interruption.
• Combine Accounts When It Makes Sense: Streamline multiple email accounts by forwarding older addresses to your primary inbox—keeping things consolidated and easy to manage.

If you're ready to go even further, join me for Digital Declutter Day on December 9! Register now for only $47 (the price goes up December 1!) to declutter together and prep for a fresh start in the new year. See you there!

Welcome friends! This week on the podcast, I’m diving into trusting your next best move, whether in business or life. I encourage you to stop worrying about the next 10 steps and instead focus on the immediate next move. By doing this, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed by overthinking. I’ll be explaining how focusing on one step at a time can help you stay grounded and make progress without the pressure of perfection.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to lean into your emotions, silence the need for “right” decisions, and take action from a place of abundance rather than scarcity. Tune in to hear advice on applying these lessons to your own life and work, and remember: sometimes, the next best move might just be to pause, reflect, and be still.

Hey friend,

In today’s episode I’m sharing with you three 3 things to know when you hire your first virtual assistant. While there are lots to know when it comes to hiring, these are three things I’ve seen time and time again in my own experience and my clients’ experience.

• Your first hire might not be the only one
• Sometimes a VA’s learnability is stronger than their technical skills
• Your VA can’t read your mind

Join me as I dive into each of these and help you solve for each of them.

Okay friends, it’s time for the final episode in this mini-series, and I’m so hyped to dive into this content and give you the scoop on the exciting free webinar I’m hosting in just a few short weeks!

This episode is all about the common repetitive tasks that you should (seriously) consider outsourcing to a VA. These tasks can occur on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even annual basis - but can truly help you propel your business forward by allowing you to take back your time and focus on your zone of genius!

I’m also talking about the costs of outsourcing vs DIYing it, and the benefits of having a virtual assistant. By highlighting these repetitive tasks and the costs of handling them yourself versus the benefits of hiring a VA, you can effectively demonstrate to your podcast audience the value and necessity of bringing a virtual assistant into their business operations.

Time for the good stuff…
