    “What does creating balance look like in the summer?” –MiaWhen you thank summer, do you think vacation, barbecues, and ice cream? I find that a lot of us have a vivid image of how summer should look — and we don't stop to see if that's what we really want.Or we have an idea we want to dial back on business or health or other goals, but it's jarring to jump from spring to summer and back to fall when you let things get out of balance in summer.What if, instead, you were intentional about what you really wanted this season?What if you made a plan that:helps you stick to how you want to feeltakes into account exterior rhythms that change in the summeranticipates obstacles or stressorsdoesn't neglect any part of your lifemoves you forward on a goal or dreamListen in as I explain how I make my summer plan and how different situations make each summer look different — but very much mine.Then join me to create your own summer plan:PLAN YOUR SUMMER EVENTSFree 1-hour workshop What Goes into Summer PlanningGet clear on the things you need to consider when making your plan3-hour Workshop Plan Your Summer Join me an FLOW365 members for step-by-step summer planning—leave with a plan for balance and what you really want in your summerDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:DREAM ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. Forget the movies and magazines. What do you want your summer to look like? What would feel amazing? What goals or projects are you pulled to move forward? What would lead you into fall without feeling like you “got off track” and need to restart?IDENTIFY YOUR SUMMER STRUCTURE. What is happening in your summer that will affect your time or energy? Think about kids, work, other family members, health stuff, plans that are already set. Are you launching a kid? Will you have kids home for the summer — and do you control that schedule or do they? Do you have a family vacation already booked? Are you having surgery?KNOW YOUR SUMMER STRESSORS. Where do you tend to get out of balance as you head into summer? What has stressed you out in past summers? Is it triggering people or exhausting events? Is it unpredictable schedules or different demands? Is it not eating well and feeling the results in your body or energy? Knowing those challenges can help you plan for them.

In fact Plan Simple started when I was 33 with three young kids and a business .. and I wasn't the healthiest version of myself.

I truly want to feel amazing — and have energy to show up my best for my clients and my family.Three things happened: I've gained about 45 lbs, which I attributed to perimenopause. I found my feet hurt so much I almost couldn't walk when I first got up in the morning. I went to the doctor for an ear problem, and they told me I needed surgery.I knew my body was not in good shape for surgery. What if I could heal my ear another way? Or what if I could make myself ready for surgery?And at the same time, my kids are growing and I'm loving seeing their interests — and I want to be healthy and mobile to be able to visit them wherever they are in the world.It's time for change.I believe that all of us have our next doable step.That means you can start wherever you are — and that wherever you are there is a next step.I've been coasting when it comes to health for a while now, and I can't anymore.Here are of the things I'm doing:Focus on Food — that means meal planning and doing my friend Tess's program, it means rethinking sugar and proteinRethink Exercise — I got out of my usual routine and it's been hard getting back for physical and emotional reasons. I'm trying new things and pushing — with loving intent — what I think I can do. Add More Rest and Mediation— I can work my body, but I also need rest. I'm trying more healing mediations and scheduling more time for them. Remember Hydration and Supplements. Sometimes we just need to come back to what we know we need.This doesn't just happen. We need to decide. We need to schedule. We need boundaries. And we need support (I'm putting my team together).I'm working on all of it this month, and I hope you'll try it too — whatever you need for your healthiest self.What would happen if you felt really good right now?HEALTH EPISODESPlanSimple Food and Wellness LINKSJoin SK60 with me this March.DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action.

    "The more we can claim and own our wins, the more we're able to create even more success. It's about shifting our mindset and letting ourselves celebrate, even the small ones." — Amy AhlersIf you're ready to step into 2025 with a clear mind and an open heart, let me introduce you to one of the most transformative exercises I do every year: The Year-End Completion Ritual.I discovered this process over 10 years ago from the incredible Amy Ahlers, and it completely changed how I approach the end of the year. Back in 2019, I had the honor of interviewing Amy about this ritual, and I've been practicing it ever since—always on the solstice.Why the solstice? For me, it's a powerful time to pause, reflect, and create space for what's next. This ritual shifts my mindset and helps me feel grounded as I ease into the slow, intentional planning for the year ahead—a process that unfolds over the next six weeks.Here's a step-by-step guide to try it for yourself.Step 1: Take Inventory of the Past YearStart by looking back on the year that's wrapping up. Use your calendar or journal to jog your memory and make two lists:Wins, Accomplishments, and Completions: What are you proud of? What did you complete or accomplish? Even surviving a tough season can count as a win.Losses, Failures, and Incompletions: What didn't go as planned? What felt heavy or unfinished?Some things might show up in both lists, and that's okay. For example, a challenging life transition might feel like both a loss and an accomplishment.Step 2: Celebrate Your WinsNow, take those wins and go deeper. Ask yourself:What strengths or skills did I develop?Who have I become because of these experiences?This step is all about honoring your growth. As women, we're often so quick to skip over our successes. But this is your chance to pause, reflect, and truly celebrate yourself.Step 3: Process Losses and FailuresThis part can feel heavy, but it's so freeing. Amy introduced me to the Perspective Scale, a tool to process emotions and reframe our mindset.Here's how it works:Rate each loss or failure on a scale from 1 (despair) to 11 (joy).Focus on moving up the scale one step at a time. If you're at a 3 (anger), what thought or action could bring you to a 4 (worry)?The goal isn't to force positivity—it's to create authentic shifts in perspective.Step 4: Identify Your LessonsReflect on what this year taught you. Write down 3-5 lessons in a way that feels empowering.Instead of: “I never trust my gut instinct and it gets me in trouble,” try:“When I trust my gut instinct, I make better decisions.”This small shift reframes your lesson as an opportunity for growth rather than self-criticism.Step 5: Complete the YearThe final step is a simple but powerful ritual to close out the year:I release… (What are you letting go of?)I celebrate… (What are you proud of?)I will remember… (What lessons will guide you into the new year?)Write it down, read it out loud, and feel the weight of unfinished business lift off your shoulders.Why This Ritual MattersEvery year, I walk into this process feeling a little overwhelmed and walk out with a sense of clarity, peace, and readiness for what's next.This isn't about rushing to set resolutions or forcing yourself into the “new year, new you” mindset by January 1. It's about honoring where you've been so you can step into the future with intention.Want the Planning Pages?If this resonates with you, I've got you covered! Email us at

    Ever feel like the different parts of your life are siloed?It wasn't until I really integrated all the parts of my life that I really understood that I needed to think about all the parts of my life if I really wanted to get stuff done.That's why I created FLOW365 — to bring together all the parts in a supportive circle, because I also learned we aren't meant to do any of this alone.I'm so excited to have four FLOW365 members here to talk about the impact of FLOW on their business and the rest of their lives.Here are some of the things they had to say: “FLOW is not just about business, but it is a core piece of my building a business.”—Jennifer ZwiebelI moved through my life differently because of FLOW. Coming into FLOW actually set me up to move through life with so much more ease and grace and focus and joy — as a human and a spouse, partner, a friend, as a community member, and specifically as a business owner.—Roxanne LoweryFLOW creates a sacred container that really allows me to flourish in all the ways.—Kelley GrimesComing into Flow, I was like, my goodness, every person I meet, there's like this connection, a soul level connection that I learned something from every single person. And it's just very magical. It's such a magical place. —Heather HesterABOUT JENNIFER, ROXANNE, KELLEY, AND HEATHEROur guests today are all FLOW365ers.

    “It's hard to succeed as a woman if we leave parts of ourselves out of our vision…. We need inclusive plans to show up to our full life.”You are not your business.When we untangle ourselves from our businesses, when we make quarterly business goals that are separate from but aligned with our seasonal goals, we thrive in business and life.I explain:The difference between seasonal and quarterly goalsWhy you might have more than four seasons and how to define your seasonsHow to think about both kinds of goals and the actions you'll takeWhy our actions sometimes don't look the way we think they willHow you can move forward without hustling An amazing way to get support in creating and implementing both your seasonal and quarterly goalsLINKShttps://plansimple.com/DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it's really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:IDENTIFY YOUR SEASONS. Seasons and quarters don't always align, and often we have multiple seasons of different lengths. For example, the holiday season might feel different from winter. You might have three weeks of back to school transition between summer and fall or maybe you think vacation, back to school, back to business … Identify the season you are in now and what is coming next.THINK ABOUT QUARTERLY GOALS. I give some questions in the podcast to help you identify your quarterly goals. Take some time to journal on those questions. What's one goal for the next quarter?WHAT ARE THE OBSTACLES? Sometimes our actions seem a little out of place with our goals, but in addressing our obstacles they move us forward. For example, maybe before you can do the creative work you need on your book, you need to get more sleep. Or maybe you need to do mindset work on visibility before you can reach your marketing goals. Note the obstacles in the way of your goals. Identify actions you could take to move past them.

    “Learning gets me excited about something new. And so I'm using that energy to really step into the fall and see how I'm wanting to meet these things that are already on the calendar.”—Mia MoranLearning new things doesn't have to derail plans you already set. Learning can get you refocused and re-energized about what you are doing.We've started Back to Business week, and there are so many ahas happening. It's not too late to join — and even if you aren't an entrepreneur, you'll get a lot out of days 4 and 5.Each day offers several 5-minute videos that are with so much greatness, and if you are overwhelmed by the idea of listening to 55 talks (which you can do in an hour a day for one week), I wanted to show you how I am weaving them in.Let's set up your fall and get you into learning and applying what you learn to the things you already plan to do.LINKShttps://plansimple.com/backtobusinessDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS. You can't do all the things at once. What do you really want to focus on this fall? Choose four for business and three for the rest of your life. Then get more specific. If one of your focus areas is marketing, where are you focusing within that? See the Back to Business week workbook 1 for a worksheet on this Doable Change.SET UP YOUR WEEKLY FLOW. We need to put the things we are going to do into time, and we do that with a weekly plan, but it helps to start with a weekly flow. So when will you work with clients? When will you spend time on the focus areas you chose? Block that out so you can see it visually.CREATE YOUR MORNING/CLOSING PRACTICES. How we start and end the day matters. A new season is a great time to reset your daily practices. What is the first thing you want to do each day? Think about a practice that will support your throughout the day or set you up with a strong start. What is the first thing you want to do when you start work? And finally, how will you signal to yourself that you are done working and close in a way that sets you up for the next day? Pick ONE of these routines to set up now. Once you are in practice with it, add one of the others.

    “We all know that when we write copy, we have to talk to the ideal person, but I find it's really easy to introduce bias and start talking about what you want or what you think they want and not what they actually want.” –Mimi ZhouAre you talking about the right things? Sometimes our copywriting misses the mark because we talk about what our potential clients or customers need … instead of what they actually want. I'm really excited to talk with conversion copywriter Mimi Zhou about how we really drive action with our writing.You can be really good at what you do without being really good at talking about it. It can be hard to get out of our own heads and what we know. We need to use the language our clients or customers use. How do we do that?We talk about: How to gather the data that drives the writingHow to get a better response on questions on social mediaThe kinds of numbers you need for the data to be relevantSelling one thingTrigger events in marketing Creating a timeline for that shows the before, the buy, and the steps in betweenABOUT MIMIAs a conversion copywriter, Dr. Mimi Zhou revels in customer research--because when you understand what your audience wants, you don't need to guess what they'll pay you for.Her copywriting projects are built on a thorough research foundation where she studies info your audience provides through reviews, surveys, interviews, and more. Her ability to parse data into numerical information and read between the lines to hear what customers say beneath the surface helps her understand what customers want even when they don't tell you directly.A fun fact about Mimi: Her path to becoming a professional researcher began at UC Berkeley and culminated in her PhD at New York University. Later, her belief that knowledge is power led her to seek copywriting training from the original conversion copywriter, Joanna Wiebe (founder, Copyhackers). So Mimi literally got a professional research degree and then studied copywriting with the original conversion copywriter herself!LINKShttps://mimizhou.com/https://www.instagram.com/mimithezhou/linkedin.com/in/mimizhou/Mimi is also one of the amazing teachers for Back to Business Week.
