Plan Simple with Mia Moran

“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. 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: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.

“When you're not in fight or flight or freeze mode, you're able to be creative and come up with different solutions and bring in different information about what's going on in your world.” –Cori MykaMy family likes to jump into the water, swim out to the buoy, step onto the way out there rock. I don't love swimming. I'm one of many adults who are uncomfortable in the water. My guest today, Cori Myka, specializes in helping adults overcome their fear of water.I haven't had anybody show up in FLOW365 and say, “I want to learn to swim” or “I want to get more comfortable in the water,” but we could easily work with those goals. I love the self-compassion and the tiny steps Cori brings to her method.And she's created a niche business around helping adults get comfortable in the water.We talk about: How learning something new can be daunting — especially when we look at what experts are doingStarting by figuring out the biggest thing getting in the wayBeing kinder to ourselves when we are taking new stepsPracticing feeling safe, calm, and confident as you are learningLetting your interests drive your nicheTesting assumptions when we try something newABOUT CORICori Myka is the founder of Calm Within Adult Swim, with over 25 years of experience in adult swim education.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:IDENTIFY BLOCKS. What is the biggest thing getting in the way of your current project, something you want to learn, or trying to launch? There may seem to be an obvious answer, but what happens when you peel back on that answer? Often there is a fear or worry standing there. Understanding that helps you start to find a way past it.PRACTICE CONFIDENCE. We talk about having confidence when learning or trying something new. It doesn't have to be huge confidence, just enough to take the next tiny step.TAP INTO YOUR INTERESTS. Looking to niche? What really piques your interest? Where are you already doing something that not a lot of people are doing? Spend some time exploring what that interest or passion could look like as a niche.

“Every business owner, if they take the time to really craft a powerful message and do that foundational work of getting clear on how they tell their story, can then repurpose that story.” –Kris JonesDo you freeze when you have to write about your own business or tell someone what you do? Kris Jones, StoryBrand guide and Founder of Red Door Designs, explains why and what we can do about it.The two main problems are that we're too close to our business and can't see it clearly and we're experts on what we do, but our clients aren't. We need to understand where our potential clients are and meet them there.Getting an outside perspective helps a lot, but can also learn to mine your own story for gold and clear the clutter.We talk about: Making potential clients the hero of the storyBuilding trust and resonance firstCrafting a powerful story and how to repurpose itNot being active everywhere — making your website the center of your business and choosing 2–3 other things that are fun for youNot outsourcing your own voice, but getting a guideHow much can change when you dial in your storyABOUT KRISKris Jones is a StoryBrand guide & Founder of Red Door Designs.

Is that language (not just the idea) in your web copy? If you are struggling, ask for...

“When I halved my calendar, we doubled our business.” –Hanna HermansonSick of the marketing bro energy that doesn't work with your energy? I'm really excited to talk with Hanna Hermanson, the founder of Feminine Marketing Boutique, about the difference between masculine and feminine energy in marketing.What if instead of asking people to buy, you invited them in?

What attracted them to you? What worked to get them as clients? Are you currently doing that in your business? Could you do more of that?IS THIS A HELL YES? For everything you do this week, ask: Is this a hell yes? Or Does this light me up? Use the answers to make decisions about what you are doing short term — and what you can step away from long-term.MAKE MORE WHITE SPACE. We all need white space (or as we call it in FLOW, gold space). This isn't time scheduled to do something, but it is time held open for what we want and need in the moment. It could be rest or going to Costco in the middle of the day or taking a walk outside. You can create white space by scheduling it and holding it ope, cutting things that are not a hell yes, or getting up earlier. We recommend one of the first two.

I got so much out of this conversation with Kate Wells, owner of Parlor Games, a company focused on products and education to support women in menopause and perimenopause. Kate was a teacher in her previous life, and I learned so much from her.Kate introduces us to 5 hormones we need to be paying attention to at this stage of life: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol.

Let's shed some light on it.We talk about: Why stress can impact us so much at this time of lifeWhat causes symptoms like bloating and breast tendernessThe reason you are ready to fly off the handle for the littlest thingWhat's natural and normal — and why that may not be optimalHow many things hormones like estrogen and progesterone do in our bodiesWhy it's so hard to find a provider who knows about perimenopauseABOUT KATEKate Wells is a hormone expert and true biochem nerd who has been educating practitioners about hormones for many years.

“Health is a lifelong process. But when you start thinking, okay, if I loved my body, if I truly loved my body, how would I treat it?”–Sarah HaasA lot of times women raise their hand for weight loss, because it's how we've been conditioned to react to the health world, but what if we actually focused on health?So many of us have negative self-image. We're used to zeroing on our perceived flaws, but what if we focused on how amazing our bodies are?

Too often when we think about health, we think of the things we can't have or focus on things we have to push to do. Make a list of all the things you need to take care of your body. Here's a start: protein, vegetables, movement, rest … keep going.FOCUS ON 1% IMPROVEMENT. Pick one thing from your list of what you need and focus on weaving it into your week. Remember, you aren't aiming for perfection, just a 1% change. Maybe you add one more veggie to a meal or make sure you start your day with water or set a timer to take your supplements.

What if I could get over all the little things that keep holding me back and really be the healthiest version of myself by my 50th birthday?–MiaI'm pretty health focused. 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. There was a day I couldn't try to power through on coffee any more.I started with yoga. I changed my food — went raw vegan (without even knowing what kale was). I kept it simple and self-loving and I stuck with it. My wellness journey unfolded from there.But then in January I found sickness just pummelling our family. And I realized that I'm doing what I've been doing for 15 years.My 50-year-old body is different than my 33-year-old body. I've been coasting. It's time to stop relying on an old version of me to make decisions for now and future me.What would it look like to be the healthiest version of me when I turn 50?Sometimes we stick with what we are doing because it's easier than going all in on something new.But this isn't a whim or a “should” goal. 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.

Know how much you want to bring in through your business, and also have a sense of how much you want to net. Both are important to meeting your...

In this episode, I dive into my personal journey with money—how it's been both a challenge and a powerful teacher for me. I share the money stories I grew up with, the obstacles I've faced as an entrepreneur, and how I've healed those limiting beliefs over time. As I approach 50, I'm reflecting on what it means to step into a new chapter with clarity around money and my future. Join me as I unpack how I've learned to be in a relationship with money, heal my past, and create a future where money works for me in a meaningful way.

Change comes from action. Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from. Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation. FIND YOUR FREEDOM DATE NUMBER. Use a retirement calculator to figure out how much you need to live the lifestyle you want based on when you want to be work optional.ADJUST YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM NUMBER. If your freedom date number scares you, change one of the levers. You can adjust how long before your freedom date, how much money you want to live on monthly, or play with your savings rate. You can keep adjusting too.START INVESTING. Don't think that you have to hit your number right away. Start now with what you can do. Work toward reaching that monthly goal (and know that if you exceed it, you will make up for some of the lower months).

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:REVIEW YOUR SPENDING THROUGH YOUR VALUES. Get really clear on your values for your business and yourself (they may be the same or have overlap). Then look at where you are spending money and what you are spending it on. For each thing you spend on, assess whether it is in alignment or not with your values.CHECK ON YOUR MONEY EVERY DAY. If you want your money to grow, you have to tend to it. Start by checking on it daily. Do it with compassion and no judgement. Get used to keeping money in sight instead of hidden.CHANGE YOUR MONEY STORY. If you frequently say, “I'm not good with money” or another stale story, it's time to shift your money story. Start by looking at your beliefs about money — what it's for, how we get it, who has or deserves it, how you judge it — and your fears...

“Every single woman needs a little bit of money of her own” –Tess Waresmith61% of women would rather talk about death than money. Are you one of them? Let's change that! Money is regularly on my growth edge, so I'm learning along with you about something I feel like I should know more about — investing.I'm excited to talk with financial educator and investor Tess Waresmith. It feels like women are playing catch up when it comes to money, and Tess wants to reduce the gender wealth gap. Even if you feel like you are living paycheck to paycheck, this applies to you. And if you've heard that the younger the start the better, there are still benefits to starting if you are 50 or older.I always say planning is deciding in advance, and you ask for your future self. Investing is another way of taking care of your future self. And Tess explains why you need to know the basics—even if you decide to outsource your investing.We talk about: Why you don't need a dollar for dollar budget and what you need insteadHow to invest money if your income varies from month to monthHow to actually invest without having to time things right and pick the right stocksMultiple benefits of making small investments regularlyWhether you should invest or pay off debt firstAge and whether it's too late (it's not!)ABOUT TESSTess is a speaker, financial educator, and the founder of Wealth with Tess, a financial education community that helps women learn how to grow their money using simple investing strategies so that they can retire comfortably and live life on their terms.After losing thousands in investing mistakes in her 20's, Tess learned everything she could about wealth building and built her net worth from 0 to 1 million as a single 35 year old woman. Tess has recently been featured as a financial expert on Business Insider, Fox 5, and has over 70,000 followers across social channels.Now she's on a mission to reduce the gender wealth gap and help more women reach financial independence through simple investing education. Thousands of women have attended her free investing workshops and hundreds of women have joined her small group coaching programs to learn how to take control of their money.

“Your business is not about tasks. It is about finding the big rocks to move the needle. And so much of what's on the task list does not create business.” –Christine Campbell RapinAre you spending the time on the right things in your business? So many of us think that we could move faster if we just had more time. I'm talking to business advisor Christine Campbell Rapin about building a sustainable business.It's not about going in 150% all the time. It's not about perfecting social. It's not about being everywhere all the time. In fact, the most important thing for you to do might not even be on your to do list.Christine shares the two essential things she thinks entrepreneurs need to focus on. We dig into the need to sell, into money changing hands. She asks: what can you do today that is simple, repeatable, boring, predictable, that moves the needle? Because movement is the key.We talk about: Why posting on social media isn't making an offerAsking: Who can I connect with today?

“Having a streamlined, functional, spacious home literally improves your life on every level.” –Shira GillIs decluttering your home on your list? So often I'm talking with women about big business goals and the thing that keeps coming up is their full closet, the cluttered living room, or all the boxes in the basement.I asked organizing expert Shira Gill about why we get stuck on this idea — and what we can do about it. She said: “A disorganized space signals to our brain that our work is never done. Having a streamlined, functional, spacious home literally improves your life on every level.”Decluttering your home can help you lose weight, get your finances in order, improve a relationship, or start a business. Even with that motivation it's not easy, but Shira has amazing tips for our biggest stumbling blocks.We talk about: The big reasons we have a hard time letting go: How our identity gets tangled with our stuff and the scarcity mindset of “what if I need this someday?”Asking yourself what life you want to lead now or in the future — and whether the stuff is part of that life (or part of your life for this season) How to get rid of hard to rehome things and setting boundaries around getting things out of your houseClearing a microspace (less than a room) at one timeGetting into a decluttering flow and creating common ground around what “decluttered” means for shared spaceDecluttering our digital spacesABOUT SHIRAShira Gill is a world-renowned organizing expert and the bestselling author of three books: Minimalista, Organized Living, and LifeStyled.

"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

“Everything that you want is just outside of your comfort zone.” –Jen MazerWe're all dreaming up our lives … and those dreams can be reality. I'm so excited to have Jen Mazer, the Queen of Manifesting, back in conversation about dreaming and manifesting.When we believe what we see in our dreams, it's more of a direct line to it happening. Instead of “trying,” we act from a place of trust and expectation. It's time to stop pushing away the ideas that come and trusting them.We need to get out of our comfort zone and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Everything we need is outside of our comfort zone — and if we step out of that zone, we can get what we want.We talk about: Overcoming resistance and trusting yourself so that you can trust the universe to support youGratitude practices and paying attention to synchronicitiesMaking time to focus on your big dream3 questions to ask: What do I want?

“Tapping is helping you find freedom from your emotions… You need to feel it to heal it… You have to feel it and move through it. then that can create some beautiful space for new things to happen.” – Lauren FonvielleHow can tapping on your body help you with limiting beliefs? Or fear? Or anything else? The good news it can work even if you don't believe in it. Tapping has made a huge difference for me and I'm excited to talk with Lauren Fonvielle, an Integrative Energy Practitioner, who specializes in EFT, about this practice.EFT is a practice of gently tapping on certain points of the body while simultaneously acknowledging the emotions that you're feeling. It can help with anxiety and stress, reducing physical pain, reducing cravings, and getting to the root of limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.We talk about: How tapping helps shift energy and why tapping is good for those emotions we try not to feelStarting globally if you are overwhelmed and moving into more specificsThe importance of the words you use while tapping feeling true to youFinding benefits in even a few minutes of tapping and the power of tapping before meditationAcknowledging the negative or hard stuff when we tap vs. positive affirmationsAssessing the intensity of the emotion at the beginning and end of a session(NEED TO Get PAGES FROM WORKBOOK)ABOUT LAURENLauren is an Integrative Energy Practitioner, specializing in EFT/ Tapping to help entrepreneurs reduce stress and increase profits.

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:RECOGNIZE THE DEMANDS OF THIS SEASON. This doesn't mean throwing up our hands and saying, I guess I can't do __ right now. It means looking at what is important right now and what it calls for. It might mean not letting go of something, but letting go of what you think it looks like.BEGIN TO CONNECT WITH THE LAND. You can do this wherever you are. Start by noticing the land around you. Choose a place, maybe a tree. Spend some time being in and with that space. Put your feet on the earth. Touch, lie on, touch the tree. Open to the energetics of the space.ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR INTUITIVE SEVERANCE. In time you will want to heal your intuitive severance to open yourself up to your intuition and magic. Start by acknowledging that your intuition was severed at some point, but it's there.

In today's episode, we're diving into how to end the year on a high note. November is here, bringing all the usual chaos—work deadlines, school events, Thanksgiving, and, this year, an election. But what if you could use this very full, kinda chaotic month to make real progress on that one big goal you've been holding onto?This episode is all about embracing the fullness of November as an opportunity to go all in on something meaningful. Instead of letting the season's busyness take over, let's talk about how to stay focused, aligned, and energized as you pursue your most important goals. With the unique timing of both a new month and a New Moon on November 1st, there's no better moment to set clear intentions and take action.

“It has to become a habit, so it's part of your identity — not another thing to do on your already busy schedule.” –Ronnie Loaiza40% of your day is made up of habits. What do your habits add up to?

In this episode of the Plan Simple Podcast, I'm diving into the importance of reviewing our past experiences as a way to evolve and grow. I'll share how taking the time to reflect on what went well—and what didn't—helps us connect past insights to future actions. We'll talk about the emotional benefits of reviewing, how it can shift your perspective, and how it leads to better planning. I'll also walk you through practical ways to make reviewing a regular part of your life, from daily check-ins to seasonal reflections, so you can make meaningful changes and align with your future self.

“It's not a reinvention because we're not changing who we are. We are who we are at that point… we're remembering the parts that we literally gave away so we could take care of somebody else.” –Donna CravottaWe're not reinventing ourselves. We're finding the best parts of ourselves and turning it into something new. I'm so excited about this conversation with Donna Cravotta, who helps women over 50 become more visible.Donna says that if we take the time to look, we've got possibilities, opportunities, that always surround us. Too often we're too busy to see them. Often it's a health crisis that makes us stop and look around. Sometimes it's another life shift.We often hear about young people doing interesting things, but women over 50 are doing amazing things.

Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress? In this episode, we're diving into aligned action—taking intentional steps that move you closer to the life and business you've been dreaming about. I'm breaking down how to get clear on what you really want, how to create a plan that feels right, and how to take consistent action without the overwhelm.

If you're ready to turn your desires into doable steps, this episode is for you. Let's get started!

“Your level of consistency is important — and different than frequency.” –Lisa MullisYou have an amazing solution for people … but you can't seem to convert. You have a million ideas, but they don't end up on the page or screen. What's getting in your way? In FLOW365 when we talk about our three most important things, creating content comes up for at least half the people every single week. I bet some of you struggle with this too.I'm really excited to talk with Lisa Mullis, marketing and messaging specialist about making our content easier to create and more effective.We talk about what we actually mean when we talk about content and how much we actually need. Two helpful takeaways: consistency is more important than frequency, and you can and should reuse your content!We also talk about: How a 10-minute writing practice can get you unstuck and bring more ease to weekly contentWhy we start talking about solutions too soon and the CAASE frameworkHow much content you need to produce and the difference between consistency and frequencyReusing your contentWhy we need to repeat ourselves and think about each piece of content standing aloneThinking about social media platforms as tools you use, similar to productivity tools, and picking the one that works best for you.ABOUT LISALisa Mullis is the founder of Paraphrase Communications. She combines 23+ years of messaging, marketing, and small business acumen with a team of tech specialists to help coaches, consultants, and creatives build their businesses.Lisa is driven by a belief that small business has the power to positively shape our economies and communities and a desire to help entrepreneurs and organizations doing good in this world expand their ability to make a difference.Whenever she can get out from behind the screen and jump into RL, she's usually off adventuring with her family on foot, mountain bike, or boat somewhere near or far to where she's based in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.LINKShttps://www.paraphrasecomm.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lhmullis/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.

Pick a time to do it, set a timer and just keep putting words on the page. This practice can help unstopper what gets stuck in your brain.TALK ABOUT WHERE YOUR CLIENT IS. Practice talking or writing about the challenge your client or customer is experiencing. Then identify attempts they have made to fix this issue. Consider an analogy for the issue. This will help you build a bridge to your solution for potential clients or customers.FOCUS ON CONSISTENCY. What if instead of focusing on being all the places and posting/emailing frequently, you focused on consistency? Pick a manageable frequency. Commit to sharing your content (whatever format you chose) when you say you will. Tell somebody you are going to do it. Schedule time to ramble...

In this episode of the Plan Simple Podcast, I'm diving into why creating a 90-day seasonal plan is a game-changer for balancing all the pieces of your life—work, wellness, family, and more. I'll walk you through the exact process, starting with centering yourself, getting clear on your vision, and defining what success really looks like (beyond just checking boxes). We'll also talk about identifying those sneaky obstacles that can trip you up and how to take actions that truly align with what you want.And, of course, I'll share how FLOW365 can help you follow through with ease—because life isn't meant to be about the hustle, but about living fully and on purpose.

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.

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.

I can't wait for you to meet her.The voices that try to protect us are voices of fear, and so often they keep us from expanding and doing what we were meant to do.

“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.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:SURVEY YOUR READERS. Create an 8–10 question survey about what they need and where they are. Your goal is to stop guessing about what people want and be able to talk to them about what they want. Have you heard the advice to sell people what they want and give them what they need? To do that you need to hit what they really want, not what you think they need.ASK A MULTIPLE CHOICE...
