Planner Girl Chatter

Jamie and Colleen dare ask the question, "Is there such a thing as podcasting lite?"

Keep Planning & Stay Awesome - Adios Bitchachos is the final episode of Planner Girl Chatter.   This series finale of the podcast should come as no surprise to many of our longtime listeners and if you've been following the massive changes happening in our lives over this summer. Listen in as we share not only all the things that have been happening but how we and the community have evolved. We share where you can find us in the future and the new podcast we are working on.   If you've listened to us from the beginning or just recently found us, we are not done with Planner World; we are just shifting how we spend our time. You'll still see us at planner events, out on these planner streets buying stickers, and we hope you'll connect with us on our personal pages on IG and FB. It's so rare to find such amazing people in this world, and we value your friendship more than you know.   Again, we are already developing a fresh podcast around our new project, The Intentional Reset Project, and we hope you'll follow us there. We also have plans to speak at some upcoming planner events around that project. We are excited to evolve past just talking about planners and create a new project encompassing many of the conversations we have beyond the world of planners and stickers (we will likely still touch on it, though, since it's a big part of who we are). You'll still see us around, but we'll be showing up differently.

We wonder a lot of things. It is possible for Colleen to take a break from dating for a year? Were our parents just as smart as us? Is it insane that Jamie already ordered her 2024 planner? We also chat about our new effort called the Intentional Reset Project, listen in and join here if you'd like to learn more about it!    Episode Highlights Busy Summer Reconnecting with our creativity Colleen's Dating Life Intentional Reset Project Is time speeding up? What we hope to see from this project The things we've been working on Feeling like I'm an adult - but getting nothing done Starting this project Jamie Pre-orders her planner Memory keeping planner Lastly…how are the 90's back?

What if.....instead of pretending it's not angsty, we started working through that intentionally? After a super busy few months, Colleen and Jamie reflect on what we need to move through life at this moment. We start to consider what we would like to be doing next and spitball a plan to conceptualize tackling it. Listen in and join us in the Facebook group to let us know if you are ready to tackle the same things we are challenged with. This episode was recorded on June 1st, 2023, amid the travels and busyness of early summer.    Episode Highlights We've been everywhere but home We aren't even sure what's happening How Colleen's planner is going right now Jamie has a suggestion about Journaling kits Colleen's genius idea to focus on our what we want When was the last time you asked what do YOU want?

We believe that Black Lives Matter. In this episode Colleen & Jamie share what we’ve been sitting with this month while watching events in the country and the planner community have evolved. We share our perspectives, experiences, and ask some timely questions we hope you can reflect on as we continue with the discussions as the community and country continue to evolve. Editorial Note: The last 5 Minutes of this conversation we had an issue with Colleen’s audio. She brings out an important point and that is, this discussion is NOT a political discussion or about “planner drama” this is a human rights discussion.  If you'd like to discuss this episode we will be continuing the conversation in the Planner Girl Chatter Facebook Group.
