[Bonus] A different way to think about "getting it done" (especially in Perimenopause).


Reader

I used to think if I just tried a little harder — a better planner, an earlier alarm, one more system — I'd finally feel on top of things. I figured out early on that is NO way to thrive and it was an approach that would *not* get me far.
​
And I'm grateful I did because when perimenopause entered the chat, none of my old tricks worked the same way anymore and things went from bad to worse!

If that sounds familiar, you're not broken and you're not alone. Your body is changing, and the way you approach your day may need to change with it.

That's exactly why I'm joining Kristi Bowlby and 25+ experts in women's health for THRIVE THROUGH PERIMENOPAUSE & BEYOND — a free virtual event happening October 6–13, 2026.

In my session, How to Actually Get More Done: The Productivity Shift Perimenopausal Women Need to Know, I'm talking about why the question that used to serve you ("how do I get more done?") isn't the one that will serve you now. I'll share the practical shift I use with my own clients to plan a day that works with the energy you actually have, not the energy you wish you had.

This event also brings in the deeper why behind what's happening in your body — your metabolism, your sleep, your hormones, your brain — straight from the experts who study it.

If you're ready for real answers instead of one more thing to add to your list, I'd love to see you there.

I'm so glad to be part of this conversation, and I hope you'll join us.

I help overwhelmed clients ditch hustle culture and design shame-free, personalized systems that lead to sustainable success—without burnout or sacrificing what they love. I believe productivity is meant to support a more satisfying, joy-filled life. For me, that means road-tripping with my husband and teens, making music with my family and friends, and inspiring others with my voice. One of my favorite ways to recharge is curling up with a book, an iced coffee, and a cat on my lap. ------------------------------------------- Check out the resources I offer below and request my Toolkit to reduce overwhelm, boost energy, and align your actions with your values!

Reader We live in a world that rewards more: more on the calendar, more on the to-do list, more commitments, more output. So we keep adding. And yet, adding more rarely makes us feel more accomplished. It usually just leaves us exhausted. What if the problem isn't your productivity system? What if it's the assumption that more is the goal? That's the core of Essentialism — a framework from Greg McKeown's book The Disciplined Pursuit of Less — and it's built on a simple, uncomfortable truth:...

Reader Have you ever taken a personality or strengths quiz, felt like it nailed you, and then done absolutely nothing with the results? You're not alone. Most of us collect this kind of self-knowledge like trading cards. Interesting to look at, rarely put to use. The right assessment, used the right way, can do a lot more than satisfy curiosity. It can show you where you naturally focus your energy, how you make decisions, and what actually makes you feel more like yourself. It's why I have...

Reader If you're in your 40s or 50s and something feels different in your body and your energy, you're not imagining it. I already knew hustle culture and "just try harder" was never the answer — a better planner, an earlier alarm, one more system was never going to get me where I actually wanted to go. I learned that the hard way years before perimenopause ever entered the picture. But when it did, my old tricks stopped working altogether, and everything I thought I'd already figured out...
