The Jade Boyd Podcast

What if the key to your next big breakthrough in business isn't in hustling harder, but in actually slowing down? If you've been caught in the cycle of go-go-go, pushing toward the next goal while ignoring how exhausted you feel, then this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast is one you need to hear. I'm joined by Sarah Watson, leadership consultant and self-proclaimed "Creator of Calm" at The Restoration Project, to talk about the power of pause in business and why slowing down might be your best productivity hack yet.In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Sarah shares why redefining success is essential for long-term sustainability and how her own shift from constant striving to intentional planning has made her work and life more fulfilling. We talk about toxic productivity, separating your self-worth from your work, and how to create a business that honors both your ambition and your humanity. And for those of you leading a team or considering your first hire, Sarah gives tangible advice on what it really looks like to lead well (hint: it doesn't mean having all the answers).Whether you're scaling your team or managing it all solo, you'll walk away from this conversation with a renewed perspective on what success looks like in different seasons — and why letting go of "busy" is often the most powerful move you can make. If you're ready to stop chasing "more" and start building something that lasts, hit play on this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/slowing-down-to-succeed-with-sarah-watsonLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Restoration Project Website@yourleadershipcoaches on InstagramYour Leadership Coaches on LinkedInFree resources at The Learning Hub CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast Archive

In this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, we're diving into the Pomodoro Method — but not the way you've heard about it before.

Have you ever felt like you're constantly chasing an impossible ideal—trying to be an amazing mom, run a thriving business, maintain a fulfilling marriage, stay healthy, and somehow find time for yourself? If so, you're not alone. The question of whether women can “have it all” is a hot topic, and in this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I'm sharing my honest take on it. Spoiler alert: my answer might not be what you expect.This conversation is deeply personal for me. I've wrestled with this question for years—long before I became a mom—but especially now, in this season of life. There's so much conflicting messaging out there. On one hand, we're told we can (and should) do it all. On the other, we hear that something has to give, and we have to choose between our personal and professional lives. Neither perspective has ever fully resonated with me, and I've spent a lot of time processing where I land on this.In this episode, I'm sharing a more sustainable way to think about balance, trade-offs, and building a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and current season.If you've ever felt like you're failing at both business and motherhood, or if you're tired of feeling like you need to do more to keep up, this episode is for you. I hope you walk away with clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to redefine success on your terms.

Many of us feel torn between our business goals and our kids on a daily basis. For women like me, who are trying to keep their kids at home full-time, while also running a business, every day feels like a tug-of-war. When I came back from maternity leave this fall, I connected with so many women who were able to balance being a full-time mom and business owner at the same time, and I was so encouraged by their stories and advice – so I decided to invite a few of them onto the podcast to speak to you too!If you've ever wondered if it's truly possible to do both—and do them well—this two-part podcast episode is for you. You will hear from 9 incredible women, each with a unique story of how they built their businesses while keeping their kids at home full-time.

Regardless of how they started, their paths are full of practical wisdom, candid truths, and inspiration to encourage you on your own journey.This isn't just a highlight reel of success stories—it's a real and raw look at the challenges, sacrifices, and creative solutions these women have used to make it work. From structuring their days around naptimes to setting boundaries, managing client expectations, and finding support in their community, these women have found ways to build meaningful businesses without losing sight of their family priorities.Whether you're considering keeping your kids at home or you're already in the thick of it and feeling stretched too thin, these stories will help you feel seen, understood, and encouraged.SHOWNOTES: https://jadeboyd.co/9-women-built-their-businesses-while-keeping-their-kids-at-home-full-time/CONNECT WITH GUESTSMariah DanielsenBusiness Name: Wander Design Co.Website: wanderdesignco.comInstagram: @wanderdesigncoSara WhittakerBusiness Name: Podcasting for EducatorsWebsite: podcastingforeducators.comInstagram: @podcastingforeducatorsAna DelamuthBusiness Name: Lovely Little LightWebsite: lovelylittlelight.comInstagram: @lovelylittlelightKelly KumlerBusiness Name: Kelly Ryann Co.Website: kellyryann.comInstagram: @kellyryanncoMolly KnuthBusiness Name: Molly Knuth MediaWebsite: mollyknuthmedia.comInstagram: @mollyknuth_mkm CONNECT WITH JADEWebsite

Imagine having a personal assistant who's available 24/7, helping you generate marketing content, manage your schedule, and brainstorm new ideas—all without costing you a cent. That's what happened to Alex Beyers when she started using ChatGPT to run her business. At first, she approached it with caution, but before long, ChatGPT became her secret weapon for creating high-quality content at lightning speed.If you're like many business owners who've tried ChatGPT and thought, “This is garbage,” you're not alone. But the key, as Alex explains, lies in how you use it.Rather than treating ChatGPT like a robot that can magically solve all your problems, think of it as a new team member that needs training. It's not just about getting it to create content, but about making it sound like your content. This is where most people get stuck—they skip the crucial step of training ChatGPT to understand their business, brand voice, and unique selling points. Think of it like hiring a new VA: if you don't provide context, you'll only get generic results.To learn more about how Alex uses ChatGPT to streamline her business and to hear all the in-depth tips she shared, tune in to the full episode of The Business Edit podcast. This could be the spark you need to level up your marketing without adding more to your plate!SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/turn-chatgpt-into-your-personal-marketing-assistantLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Alex's Instagram @alexbeyers.co Alex's AI CoursesUse code "Jade20" for 20% off anything in her AI suite - no expiration!

Simple living is trending, and it's easy to see why. The idea of slowing down and living a simple life is dreamy. Pair that dream with the aesthetic homesteading, sourdough, and morning routine content on Instagram and we're all saying, "sign me up for that"! But if so many of us crave a slow and simple life, why aren't more of us making it happen?When you think of simplifying your life, you might imagine living off grid, wearing floral maxi dresses, or becoming a "trad wife." But simplicity doesn't have to look like a Pinterest-worthy kitchen or making all your food from scratch. It's about two key principles:Systemizing What's Most Important: This means setting up systems for your personal health, relationships, home, and business so it doesn't feel hard or complicated to show up for your daily life.Living at a Human Pace: It's about enjoying your daily life in the season you're in, not rushing through it constantly waiting for the “next season.”In this episode, I'm breaking down 4 must haves for simplifying your life, and how to make this hard, but worthwhile, lifestyle goal a reality.

Are you even aware of all the ways that you're living your life by default? There's this thing called the "default effect" that shows us that we're more likely to choose options that are given to us as the default choices. And it makes sense, right?! Decision fatigue is real and we make around 35,000 decisions each day. Who can blame us for wanting to not think about a decision and go with the default option every now and then?But here's where default living becomes a problem... the decisions that are given to us as the default are not always aligned to the type of life or business that we want to build. And when we live too much of our lives by default, we start to feel the effects of living a bland life that doesn't light us up. In this episode, I'm sharing what it could look like for you to opt out of default living and live more intentionally, starting with three default decisions that I see many women opting into (and that are making them miserable). Press play to opt out, live differently, and gain the encouragement you need to make tough decisions that are more aligned to your ideal life.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/opting-out-of-default-livingLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Ep. 043: Simplify your Life with Categorical Decision MakingSimplify your Life MembershipThe Business Edit™ Coaching Program CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast Archive

This week, I'm bringing you a special conversation with my friend Haley Thomas from the Passion Pursuit Podcast. You may remember Haley from episode 021, where she brought her expertise on building out a retreat offer to the podcast. Recently, I sat down with Haley to talk about ways that you can find clarity when you're spinning in indecision. If you find yourself overthinking things, spending too much time analyzing your choices, or just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. As a recovering perfectionist, and someone who loves data, I've learned the hard way that spinning in indecision is not productive. It's better to make the wrong decision quickly (and learn from it quickly) than to waste time trying to come up with the perfect solution.

What comes to mind when you think of a 'weekly planning routine'? Do you envision someone sitting down in a quiet space for an hour, thoughtfully detailing a minute by minute plan for their entire week? Don't get me wrong, I love a good extended planning session, but week to week, that's just not realistic for most women. And the good news is you can become a really effective planner, even if you only have 5 minutes in between meetings, naps, or errands.When you enter your week with a clear plan in place, you eliminate a lot of unnecessary stress, set yourself up to focus on what actually matters in your business, and put yourself back in the drivers seat of your life. In this episode, I'm going to walk you step-by-step through my weekly planning routine, and what it actually takes to be able to plan a productive week in 5 minutes or less!SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/plan-a-productive-week-in-5-minutes-or-lessLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Free Task Batching WorkbookFree CEO Day ChecklistOrganize your Business Course CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Join Me Inside the Business Edit Group Coaching Program Today!The Business Edit is a 12-month group coaching program for overwhelmed service providers who want to simplify and scale their business so they can earn more while working less.

If you're struggling to make consistent progress on your business goals, you may be overdue for a CEO Day. A CEO Day is a monthly day set aside for you to reflect on what's happening in your business and make intentional, strategic decisions about how to move forward. I almost think of this like a self-care practice for business owners, because when you're able to set aside time to plan out each month intentionally, you can enter each week knowing exactly what to focus on to grow your business. It makes pursuing big goals as a business owner more straightforward, less stressful, and more fun! Every business is different, which means every CEO Day will look different too. That's why I've created a free guide to help you design your own CEO Day checklist using the 3-step process I lay out in this episode.

Brooke Happe is a mom of three who stepped away from her career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy to follow her heart to stay home with her kids. She taught herself to crochet to keep her hands strong, fully expecting to return to therapy once the kids grew older. Other moms asked where to buy her beanie from and her business, b.e.happe, was born. In 2019, the Happe family sold everything to travel the U.S. After 5 years of full time travel and running the business from the road, they purchased a home base in Texas to use between their travels and focus on intentional living.In this episode, Brooke shares what it really takes to live an intentional life, and the joys and hardships her family has experienced over 5 years living on the road.

If you've ever delegated a task to your partner, kids, or an employee, you'll know how magical it feels when work gets done without you having to show up or lift a finger. It can be addicting! Automating tasks in your business can give you that same magical feeling - almost like you've found a cheat code for life. And there are so many tasks that you can (and should) automate in your business. The less time you spend on busy work, the more time you have to invest in the projects and tasks that actually deserve your attention. So today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite automations that save me time every single week to hopefully open your eyes to some new automations you can create in your own business.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/simple-automations-that-save-me-hours-of-work/LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:ClickUpOrganize Your Business CourseEp. 54: I Quit Dubsado: Here's What I'm Doing InsteadZapier CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Download my FREE Double your Profit While Working Less Masterclass!In this free 30 minute masterclass, I'll show you how to set your business up to scale so you can earn more than ever before while working 4-day weeks, taking real vacations, or even taking the summer off.

The insidious thing about procrastination is that it's a cycle. Does this sound familiar... You look at your to-do list and see a hard project that feels overwhelming, so you check email and cross off the easiest items on your list first... Then you finish the day feeling like you didn't accomplish anything and are even more overwhelmed by the daunting notion of tackling that big project tomorrow. And the cycle continues.

So much of running a business is showing up for mundane tasks that aren't exciting. Results don't come instantly they come with consistency. And it's easy to get work done when we're motivated to do it, but we can't always rely on that motivation to be there. We're going to have off days, low energy days, and distracted days. So how can we, as business owners who need to show up and get things done in order to grow our business, consistently show up for our business and get things done without falling into the pitfall of procrastination? And procrastination is something that we ALL struggle with on one form or another. And in order to overcome your unique procrastination habits, you first have to understand why you're procrastinating. In this episode, we're going to talk about the six reasons why we procrastinate, and how to overcome each unique form of procrastination.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/procrastination-hacksLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Productivity Project Book, by Chris BaileyThe Quarterly Reset CourseOrganize Your Business Course CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Download my FREE Double your Profit While Working Less Masterclass!In this free 30 minute masterclass, I'll show you how to set your business up to scale so you can earn more than ever before while working 4-day weeks, taking real vacations, or even taking the summer off.

Recently, I was reading a book about how to create a business that runs itself, and the author challenged his readers to create a business that would let them take a 12 week sabbatical. In my mind, a "12 week sabbatical" is basically man speak for "maternity leave"! As a service provider, it can be so hard to imagine being able to take 12 weeks off while returning to a business that isn't burning to the ground, but I want you to know that it's entirely possible with some planning and preparation. Whether you're dreaming of a 12 week maternity leave or simply being able to take time off without worrying about your business, I hope this episode gives you tangible tips and resources for building your business around your dream schedule.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/planning-for-maternity-leave-as-a-business-owner/LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Legal Paige Independent Contractor AgreementMadison Dearly's Business Book(keeping) Club CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Join Me Inside the Business Edit Group Coaching Program Today!The Business Edit is a 12-month group coaching program for overwhelmed service providers who want to simplify and scale their business so they can earn more while working less.

"Am I ready to scale my business?" This is a question I get a lot because there are so many misconceptions about what it takes to scale a business. I mean, you don't want to dive into something you're not ready for and risk falling flat on your face, right? But you also don't want to disqualify yourself from taking bold steps in your business even if you're not 100% ready! You can think about scaling your business like having kids. There's no perfect time to do it, and you'll never be 100% ready. But there are certainly things that will make the process easier, and today, I want to help you figure out if your business is "ready enough" to scale. In this episode, I'm breaking down the four stages to scaling your service based business, how to identify which stage you're in, and how to know if you're ready to scale your business this year.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/how-to-know-if-your-business-is-ready-to-scale/LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Business Edit Group Coaching ProgramEpisode 70: 4 Ways to Scale your Service Based BusinessEpisode 72: Build a Scaleable Offer Suite with Less but Better Offers CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Download my FREE Double your Profit While Working Less Masterclass!In this free 30 minute masterclass, I'll show you how to set your business up to scale so you can earn more than ever before while working 4-day weeks, taking real vacations, or even taking the summer off.
