In this episode, I answer listener questions and share my insights and personal journey in managing time, balancing work and family, and staying grounded during the busy holiday season. I discuss my evolving approach to planning with young children and my strategies for maintaining peace during Christmas. My reflections offer listeners practical advice and encouragement to prioritize self-care while setting realistic expectations.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Power of Consistent Planning

• I emphasize the importance of dedicating time each week for planning, regardless of the specific method I use. For me, Mondays work best because they provide fresh motivation, and I encourage others to find their own rhythm for planning.

2. Brittnie’s Time Management Journey

• Reflecting on my journey over the past five years, I’ve seen how implementing routines has transformed my daily life. I believe starting morning and evening routines earlier would have made a significant difference for me. I remind myself that challenging phases in life are temporary. 

3. Navigating Family Life and Independence

• Balancing family dynamics has been an ongoing challenge for me. At first, I thought toddlerhood would be the hardest phase, but I've realized that the demands of my older children and their activities are just as challenging, if not more so. I try to navigate my roles at work and home while making sure to spend quality time with my husband and take care of myself, all amidst our family responsibilities.

4. Time Management Strategies

• I outline my key strategies for effective time management, which include time blocking, using a planner, and utilizing organizing apps. I also have cleaning routines and morning and evening rituals that help me maintain order and reduce stress.

5. Managing Stress and Finding Peace During Christmas

• I simplify the Christmas season by setting boundaries and lowering my expectations. Growing up in a large family taught me the importance of prioritizing family time, so I now spend Christmas mornings at home with my immediate family.

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:

• How simple routines can create structure in a busy life

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.

• Why Email Marketing Works: Discover how email became Shannon's lifeline during a crisis and why it can be a game-changer for your business too.

• You don't need a massive list to see significant sales results; quality and connection matter more.

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. 💛
