In today’s episode, we’re diving into the power of routines and how they can bring a sense of balance, especially for busy entrepreneurs and mothers. This year has been a whirlwind for me—juggling business, family, hobbies, and household projects, all while managing the chaos of a recent move.
I’ll share how simple routines, like cleaning the kitchen after breakfast and a weekly house tidy-up, have been game-changers for keeping things in check. While these routines have helped maintain my sanity, I'm now focusing on reintroducing daily exercise to prioritize my health.
As someone with ADHD, I understand the challenge of balancing bursts of productivity with inevitable periods of burnout. That’s why routines are particularly helpful for those of us with ADHD, offering structure without overwhelming. But don’t feel pressured to overhaul everything at once! Start small—make one change at a time, and see how it transforms your daily life.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Email marketing—ever heard it's something you should incorporate into your business strategy, but are not sure where to start? The kinds of emails to send, the timing, the frequency, and how to avoid sounding like a used car salesman can be overwhelming.
Brittnie sits down with email marketing expert Shannon to explore how email can transform your business, especially during challenging times. Shannon shares her inspiring journey into email marketing, which began during the 2020 pandemic when one email brought in $2,600 and helped save her 10-year-old business. Now, she's on a mission to teach others how to harness the power of email to grow their businesses.
Shannon (aka Mrs. Vondy and often called The Email Queen) went from burnt out wedding photographer to email obsessed when she sent ONE email and earned $2600. After earning an additional 13k that year from email marketing alone, she created The Email Club. Now, through her Email Club Membership, she's helped hundreds of business owners discover that email is easy, fun and extremely profitable.
When she isn't talking about email, or mentoring business owners, you can find her snuggled up on the sofa binging Netflix with her husband and their 2 rescue huskies. 💛
