In this episode, we're shining a spotlight on the often brutal and overwhelming challenge of time management, particularly for high-achieving leaders who strive to excel in their professional endeavors while still being present for their families.

Imagine this: You're a driven leader, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in your career. But as you strive for success, the relentless demands of work often leave you feeling like you're running on empty, struggling to find time for the people who matter most in your life.

Today, we have a very special guest with us: Andrew Hartman, the mastermind behind ⁠Time Boss⁠. Andrew's story resonates deeply with me, as I too have felt the tug-of-war between my professional ambitions and the desire to be present for my loved ones.

the harsh realities of always being on call

the quest to find a sustainable pace amidst the chaos

the transformative power of turning time management into habitual practices.

So, whether you're a seasoned executive seeking balance or a go-getter looking to optimize your time, join us as we uncover fresh perspectives on reclaiming control over our most precious resource: time. 

This is such a goodie, guys. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation with Andrew Hartman.

Our mind is a powerful tool, but sometimes, it can work against us. We've all heard of IQ and EQ, but what about PQ?

Positive Intelligence is the newest mental tool to change those pesky inner critical voices for good. In today's episode we're exploring Positive Intelligence which refers to a concept developed by Shirzad Chamine, which focuses on the balance between your "Saboteurs" and your "Sages" in your mind.

According to Chamine:

Positive intelligence involves recognizing and managing your Saboteurs while amplifying the voice of your Sages. It's about cultivating a mindset that fosters self-awareness, emotional agility, and a positive outlook on life. By mastering positive intelligence, you can overcome obstacles, achieve your goals, and live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

In this solo episode, I'm continuing the miniseries on making room for your dreams in midlife.

Running a business, a life, a household or all three can be incredibly chaotic. The most counterintuitive piece of wisdom is that by making room (if even five minutes a day) for your dreams, everything else will feel less stressful. It's like you're undoing the pressure valve release just by dedicating a portion of time to what truly lights you up.

But where do you start? How do you sustain it? What happens when your inner critic has a field day with you? I answer all of these in today's episode.

Happy Listening!
