Annnnnnnd just like that we're in March! I don't know how winter has felt like years, yet I'm still surprised to be in this new month. Time is weird. Anyhow, I always think of the month of March as an action verb reminding me to keep moving, keep trying, and keep the faith. I invite you to join me.

In honor of that, here are some things you need to know--and can take action on--from the Positively Productive world:

1. CAREGIVERS - The latest episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast offers invaluable advice for caregivers on how to organize information, communicate effectively with medical teams, and manage expectations to make the process easier. Dr. Monique Nugent, a practicing hospitalist and author of "Prescription for Admission," joins me and her tips on proactive communication and the practice of debriefing are amazing advice in any caregiver situation. You’ll definitely want to listen to this episode if you are a caregiver (or know one) or are navigating hospital/medical visits.
   ​
2. CLOCKS - Those who practice Daylight Saving Time will need to “spring ahead” this Sunday 3/9/25, which means moving the clock ahead and “losing” an hour. Psychologically, I’m not a fan, but the change does offer brighter mornings, which I hope will help us "rise and shine" a bit better. Two things you should consider: a) Most devices auto-correct, but watch for a couple that need manual adjustment, like older cars or wall clocks and appliances. b) You may feel the impact this week. It doesn’t seem like one hour would matter, but it can, especially to kids and pets. Take the time you need to transition accordingly.
   ​
3. CALENDARS - As we await actual Spring here in the Northeastern US, I am reviewing my calendars into the summer and beyond. As a mom, I need to plan family events months ahead, and as a podcaster I batch content as well using themes for upcoming months at a time. During this time and planning, I also look at my calendar to see what kind of coaching availability I have. I currently have some space for new clients – a few accountability and a few more strategy sessions – if that is something you’re considering. If you aren’t sure, but you know some kind of session could help, the easiest place to start is a free coaching consultation call. You get some free coaching out of the deal, but more importantly, you get a sense of what’s next for you (whether we work together or not).

​
I have to admit that this winter has been rougher on me than I anticipated, but Spring often gives me the hope and energy I need to push through, which is why I am excited for it to arrive. I’m curious how you’re feeling? Have you also felt the dip in energy and the brain fog? If so, I’m here for you and ready to help. We got this!

Wishing you spring in your heart and in your yard,

♥
