Have you ever thought about starting your day with intention?

I know it sounds a lot like goal-setting.

And it IS just that… minus the chaos.

Intention-setting involves defining your most urgent goals for the day. It's about picking your top 3 goals out of, maybe, 20?

Today's guest teaches you to prioritize yourself by effectively setting your intentions and achieving a delicate balance in life and work.

Meet Liz Bigger, burnout coach for entrepreneurs, owners, business leaders, and managers and Founder of the Burnout Solver program that helps people bust worry and overcome burnout.

Liz dug her way into the world of coaching (and holistic wellness) while on a journey to heal herself from Leaky Gut Syndrome. She reinvented herself over the years while also growing her wellness and coaching business.

In this episode, she sits with me to share the most important lessons about coaching, wellness, and entrepreneurship that she's gathered from her years of experience. She explains the irreplaceable importance of communication skills, setting boundaries, defining your intentions, and finding discipline and motivation as a coach and entrepreneur!
