Why your personality is *key* to being your most productive.

Reader Ever feel like traditional productivity advice just doesn't click with you? I hear that from clients constantly and the reason is simple: One-size-fits-all solutions are a myth. What makes you you is what will help you find your most effective productivity path, and your unique personality is one of those aspects. Knowing your personality and working with it is the real secret weapon to working smarter, not harder. This is why I do assessments first with my clients. When I coach you, I...

Reader Last week I asked you if you could magically fix one thing to be more productive, which of the following would it be: 1) figuring out what you need to do, 2) scheduling and fitting it all in, 3) developing the systems to track it all, or 4) getting yourself to take action. The results are in across multiple platforms and... ::Drumroll Please:: It was a TIE between #2 Scheduling it to fit it all in, and #4 Getting yourself to take action and do the stuff on the list! What does this...

Reader This month, I want to talk about something we often misunderstand: PRIDE. Yes, I mean that kind of pride. I am a rainbow-wearing, Free Mom Hug card-carrying safe space and any time we can elevate humans and prioritize love, it’s a good day. I also mean the simple concept of pride in terms of how we feel about ourselves. Because I have found it to be decidedly misunderstood, no matter the context. The pride I mean is not a boastful thing. It’s a powerful, self-accepting belief in your...

Reader Each week I reach out with tips and updates. Because it's my goal to be the antidote to your stress and to not add to the overwhelm, I generally limit my messages. But in order to serve you better, I have questions (and answers) I want to share. Today we're starting with a poll that will take seconds to complete. I'll send another bonus message to share results and answers (and ask new questions). Watch for the bonus personal poll in the P.S. I bet you can guess my answer. Positively...

Reader If you’re tired of feeling like you're constantly swimming against the productivity current, it’s time to “go with the flow”...the flow state, that is. The flow state is a mental state of total immersion, where work feels effortless, time seems to disappear, and creativity and focus peak. It’s a way to work that feels almost...magical and it’s the most productive state you can be in, which is why it feels so powerful. In my latest podcast episode, I share everything you need to know...

Reader Let's get real about morning routines. I used to think a "perfect" morning meant waking up at 5 AM, meditating for an hour, journaling, and drinking a healthy smoothie or something…all before my kids even stirred. Spoiler alert: That was NOT my reality. And it’s never going to be! (More power to you if it is, but I like to keep it real here and that approach simply isn’t sustainable to my life.) As a caregiver, entrepreneur, and mom, I learned the hard way that productivity isn't about...

Reader Do you remember the last time you actually tasted your morning coffee? Or truly listened during a conversation? Or stopped to smell the proverbial (or actual) roses? I get it. We're constantly racing against the clock. As a mom, entrepreneur, and caregiver, "being present" sounds like yet another task on an already overloaded to-do list. But what if being more present is exactly what you need? That's a rhetorical question because it is. Experiencing more “in the moment” moments (aka...

Reader This message is for caregivers in any capacity. When you care for another human, you are a special person, indeed. Caregiver, it’s time to turn your care and attention back to YOU. I see you and all you do and the toll it takes on you. I get it because I’ve been there. After years of caring for my mother with Alzheimer's, while simultaneously managing two young children, I learned a critical lesson: Caregivers need care too. NEED. Not want. Not “should have eventually”. It’s not...

Reader As a productivity coach who's juggled caregiving, motherhood, and entrepreneurship, I've discovered something that's been silently sabotaging us: the idea that self-care can fix burnout. Self-care is essential. I'm a huge fan and recommend it highly!(You'll find over 20 episodes on this Self-care Playlist!). But when it comes to burnout, self-care won't cut it. Bubble bath can't fix systemic exhaustion. Burnout isn't just feeling tired - it's a deep, persistent state of emotional,...

Reader If you’re a mom, this message is for you. If you aren’t, but you’re a caregiver or a people pleaser, the advice still applies. I welcome you to read this and share with Moms you know in honor of Mother’s Day, if you're feeling up for it. (If you aren't because you're grieving during this time, I am sending you so much love. Close this out and know I get it and I hope you find peace and beauty during this time.) Does this sound familiar? You give so much. You keep saying “Am I doing...
