Send us a textEntrepreneurship isn't just about freedom and potential—it's about navigating the complex reality of building something meaningful while maintaining your sanity. After six years running my consulting business, I've discovered that success depends on mastering five critical areas that few discuss openly.The entrepreneurial journey often begins with struggle. I worked constantly while earning little, trapped in inefficient systems and lacking clear client acquisition strategies. Through painful experience, I discovered that transformation begins with mindset shifts. When travel constraints prevented my usual billing methods, I was forced to implement auto-pay systems—now a cornerstone of my business operations. This perfectly illustrates how limitations often spark our greatest innovations. Similarly, shifting from scarcity thinking to abundance perspective transformed how I approached opportunities and partnerships.Strategic systems development proved equally crucial. By creating comprehensive processes for podcast production, presentation creation, and content batching, I eliminated repetitive tasks while improving quality. The client acquisition puzzle, which defeats many talented professionals, requires intentional development of strategic relationships with complementary businesses and demonstration of expertise through value-first presentations. My delivery model evolved from exhausting one-on-one coaching to scalable group formats enhanced by guest experts—a change that benefited clients while preserving my energy. Finally, personal growth through habit formation and strategic investment in education and team building created the foundation for sustainable success.What area of your entrepreneurial journey needs immediate attention? Is your mindset holding you back, are your systems inefficient, is client acquisition inconsistent, does your delivery model drain you, or have you neglected personal growth? Identify your weakest link and take action today. Share your biggest entrepreneurial challenge in the comments—I'd love to help you breakthrough to the next level.

You're ready to make real money in your business — but without an offer that feels solid, it still feels like an expensive hobby.You're overthinking your offers. Going back and forth about what your “thing” should be — only to end up not putting anything out there consistently. Deep down, you're wondering: How do I actually create something that's valuable? Something people would happily pay for — and I'd feel good delivering?In this episode, I share the one strategic shift I made that helped me stop second-guessing, start creating real results, and confidently sell $3.5K coaching packages without feeling icky.You'll learn:* Why you can't just rely on mindset work to build true confidence* The exact steps I took to build a clear, aligned offer that I could confidently sell. * How to create an offer that's rooted in real value — not fluff or guessworkIf you're ready to stop overthinking and finally create an offer that feels grounded, transformational, and ready to sell — hit play on this episode now.I was scared to sell $3-$5k coaching packagesThere was a time in my business when I felt uneasy on every sales call.Even when someone said yes, my chest would tighten.Shoot. Now I have to deliver.What if I can't get them results?What if they regret working with me? Or even worse…. what if they think it's a waste of money.Sometimes the fear was so strong that I would talk people out of buying.If they had any hesitation, I'd tell them, “Yeah, maybe it's not the right time.”And while I deeply wanted to sell packages for $3-$5k and run a thriving business…I couldn't back my own work.It wasn't because I had unhappy clients—no one ever told me my coaching sucked.But the results my clients experienced weren't consistent.Some clients had massive breakthroughs and tangible shifts.Quitting their job. Starting a business. Landing a dream job.Others just “felt better” at the end.I never knew which way it would go and that uncertainty gnawed at me.It made me second-guess my offers, my content, my sales calls.I didn't feel like I could confidently say, “This is what I do and here's the transformation you'll get.”For a long time, I tried to mindset my way through it.I repeated affirmations.I hyped myself up.I worked on worthiness.But deep down, I knew the truth:I didn't fully believe in the value of my work because it wasn't consistently valuable yet.Creating my six-figure curriculumEverything changed when I made one shift:I created a signature transformational curriculum.Instead of relying on one-off sessions or hoping each client would “get something out of it,” I built a repeatable process—what eventually became my first program, the Career Fulfillment Formula.This was the turning point in my business.Having one clear, transformational process gave me:* A framework I trusted* Consistent, repeatable results for my clients* Confidence to sell high-ticket offers without feeling like a fraudIt became the foundation for my six-figure business.Step One: Commit to One ResultThe first thing I did was commit to one specific result.I distilled my coaching down into a “caveman phrase” of just a few words:Find work you love.Before this, my message was vague: “Follow your dreams,” “Live your best life,” “Unlock your potential.”But how do you create or measure results around things like that.When I got clear on helping people specifically find work they love—their path to fulfillment—everything started to come together.I wasn't just “a life coach.”I was someone who could help people clarify their career direction and find purpose through identifying the work they loved. Step Two: Create the CurriculumWith my one result in mind, I outlined a step-by-step process to help people get there.This wasn't about locking myself in a room and perfecting it for months before showing it to another living soul.I created it through:* Real conversations and market research* My lived experience of finding work I loved* My own zone of genius (mindset, inner work, purpose—not résumés or job applications)The first version of the Career Fulfillment Formula was just an outline.I knew where my ideal clients were starting, and I knew where they wanted to go.So I mapped out how to get them there.Step Three: Test It in Real TimeThe truth is, I couldn't sell the program at first. I tried launching it, and no one bought.But instead of scrapping it entirely, I found the perfect pro bono client—a friend who was exactly my ideal client.We agreed: she'd show up fully for the entire program and in return I'd get her feedback and testimonial.Every week, I created a short video, gave her worksheets, coached her through the material, and refined as we went.By week two or three of putting my pro bono client through the process, new paying clients started signing up.Suddenly I had people going through the program in real time, giving me feedback, and getting results.And this is where everything shifted.The breakthroughs became consistent.The testimonials started flooding in.I could see with my own eyes: this process works.Confidence Through EvidenceOnce I had a process that consistently worked, I no longer needed to hype myself up before sales calls.I didn't have to do affirmations or mantras to “believe in the value of my work”I had evidence.Clients were moving from point A to point B.Their lives were changing.And I could confidently say, “This is the result I help you create.”That evidence built unshakable confidence—something mindset work alone could never give me.What This Means for YouIf you're struggling to sign clients consistently, or if you secretly doubt the value of your work, it might not be a mindset issue.It might be that you don't yet have a signature process.A transformational curriculum that:* Delivers repeatable results* Aligns with your genius and lived experience* Gives you confidence because you know it worksYou don't build confidence by reciting mantras.You build it by creating a transformational process that works. By putting people through your process, and seeing the results over and over again.That's how you create an offer you can stand behind.That's how you build a business on solid ground.And that's how you finally start “believing in the value of your work.”If you're struggling to believe in the value of your work, here's the truth:It's so much easier to back your offers when they're built from your genius.When you understand your unique strengths—and how they translate into real results for your clients—you stop second-guessing yourself. You stop spinning on “What should I sell?” and start creating offers that actually feel like you.That's exactly what my toolkit, Map Your Genius, is designed to help you do.Inside, you'll learn how to:* Identify the strengths you've been overlooking* Pinpoint your unique “genius” (the intersection of your gifts + the value they bring to others)* Turn your genius into aligned offers that deliver real transformationYou'll walk away with a clear map of how to use your genius to help clients get results—and clarity on the offer that's best for you right now.

Send us a textWhat's the missing element in your family legacy plan? Most successful entrepreneurs wouldn't dream of running a business without a strategic plan, yet we often leave our most important organization—our families—to operate without clear direction or purpose.The reason God chose Abraham reveals the answer. Genesis 18:19 tells us God selected Abraham specifically because "he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord." This divine endorsement of family planning serves as our foundation for creating lasting legacies that extend beyond financial success.A comprehensive family plan consists of several critical components. Start with a vision statement—a concise declaration of what your family stands for (mine is "Passion for Jesus, compassion for people"). Develop a mission statement outlining how you'll live that vision daily. Identify core values that define your family character—these become the filters through which you make decisions. Finally, create a family constitution establishing rules for handling conflicts, money, responsibilities, and time.Implementing this framework requires intentional family gatherings where everyone contributes to the conversation about what you collectively value. Document these discussions and revisit them regularly during family meetings. As Habakkuk 2:2 instructs, "Write the vision down, make it plain." My family has begun this journey by exploring what the McCart family should be known for—loyalty, family unity, generosity, and Spirit-led decision-making.The benefits are transformative: unity during challenges, clear decision-making frameworks, stronger identity in your children, and effective transfer of both wealth and values to future generations. Don't leave your family's legacy to chance. Start crafting your family vision today, and discover how this intentionality becomes the foundation for generational impact.Have you started developing your family plan? Share this episode with someone who needs to hear this message, and let me know how these principles are transforming your approach to family leadership.Support the show

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!  Today we're diving into a topic that comes up a lot in the holistic world—manifestation. You've probably heard it: “Your thoughts create your reality. Just visualize what you want and call it in.” And while there is truth to the power of our thoughts and words, here's the danger: when manifestation is used to get what we want or chase our heart's desires, it often leads us into pride and self-reliance. And pride is the very thing that keeps us from the abundant life Jesus has promised. So today, we're talking about the difference between manifestation and miracles. Would love to hear your feedback (positive or negative) on this episode!

Susan Inouye is a transformational executive coach and best‑selling author who helps leaders build cultures of engagement and belonging. We explore her Sawubona approach, which means “I see you,” and the five leader shifts that move teams from control to connection, conformity to seeing and accepting, expectations to intentions, authority to authenticity, and bottom‑line myopia to belonging. We learn to ask people what it takes to engage them, spot their innate gifts, and align work to strengths. We also see how receiving feedback without judgment opens trust across generations. Susan's stories show how leaders who get present, praise the gift behind the action, and create meaningful work see retention rise and results follow. We leave with practical ways to create workplaces where we feel seen, heard, and part of something bigger. Highlights 1. Lead with connection - Learn to be present, listen without judgment, and make people feel seen so trust and ideas flow. 2. Spot innate gifts - Identify what energizes each person and align roles and projects to those natural strengths. 3. Shift expectations to intentions - Trade rigid “shoulds” for clear intentions that encourage learning, ownership, and creativity. 4. Model authentic leadership - Share real experience, invite two‑way dialogue, and let credibility come from wisdom, not title. 5. Build belonging on purpose - Tie work to shared meaning and values so we stay engaged, resilient, and motivated.

Hey guys! Do you like summer? Who doesn't, right? It's time for fun. At a barbecue, by the sea, in a park or on a lake shore. But wait! Who's gonna bug you, and spoil all the pleasure? Someone very small, but very annoying. Insects. There are zillions of them, and most are innocent and scared out of their wits of the huge humans. But a few others can bite or sting you and cause real trouble. For example, almost all 40,000 different kinds of spiders are venomous. Don't panic! Not for people. But there are 3 kinds of spiders whom you'd better avoid. Ticks aren't our friends either. They can infect people with encephalitis, borreliosis and other diseases. So if you wanna stay safe, remember which pests you'd rather keep off your party list. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a textIn this episode of Dear HR Diary, Dawn sits down with Sara Taylor to get real about workplace civility—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's the foundation of healthy culture. We dig into cultural competence, how polarization is showing up at work, and a powerful mindset shift—assuming differences—that helps leaders communicate across identities, generations, and viewpoints. If you're tired of “be nice” posters and want practical tools that actually change behavior, this one's for you.What You'll LearnCultural Competence 101: How identity, context, and power shape everyday interactions (and why “treat everyone the same” backfires).Civility vs. Niceness: Civility = respect + accountability + boundaries. Niceness alone won't save your culture.Polarization at Work: Spot the warning signs (us-vs-them language, meeting silos, performative emails) and what leaders can do immediately.Assume Differences: A simple habit to reduce friction, improve listening, and make feedback land without drama.Manager Moves: Scripts, norms, and micro-behaviors that turn values into daily practice.“Civility isn't about being agreeable—it's about being accountable for how our behavior affects other people.” — Sara Taylor Practical TakeawaysAdopt a civility standard: “We address issues directly, we don't label people, and we separate intent from impact.” Put it in team norms.Use the two-step check: 1) Assume difference (experience, context, language). 2) Ask before assuming (“Can you share how you're seeing this?”).Meeting hygiene: Agenda, time boxes, speak-order rotation, “one mic at a time,” and a 2-minute debrief: What worked? What to adjust?Feedback formula: Behavior → Impact → Ask. “When deadlines move without notice (behavior), the field team misses windows (impact). What can we change next sprint? (ask)”Red/Yellow/Green topics: Identify which conversations are safe to debate now (green), need prep (yellow), or require facilitation (red).Resources for ListenersBooksThe Culture Map (Erin Meyer) – Navigating cross-cultural communication.Thanks for the Feedback (Stone & Heen) – Receiving feedback without combusting.Guides & ToolkitsPsychological Safety primers (Amy Edmondson talks/articles).Meeting norms templates (RACI, Working Agreements, and Team Charter one-pagers).Connect with Sara TaylorWebsite: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarajanetaylor/Email:  sara@deepseeconsulting.com Sara's Book: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/thinking-at-the-speed-of-biasCall to ActionIf you want fewer eye-rolls and more buy-in, start with civility.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.com Attend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2025 Instagram: @the.momentum.company LinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell and the Momentum Company team dive into one of the biggest challenges facing leaders today: creating true buy-in around new systems, processes, and performance expectations. Joined by client Dustin (sales manager at a cooperative), certified coaches Melisa and Denise, and the Momentum leadership team, this conversation unpacks how to align teams, foster accountability, and drive adoption of new technologies.The discussion moves from performance management into the heart of culture change—how clarity, communication, and intentional leadership can transform resistance into ownership.Key TakeawaysClarity Drives AdoptionNew tools like CRMs or performance reviews only work when leaders paint a crystal-clear picture of the desired future state—and connect it to why it matters.Communication Is Non-NegotiableResistance often comes from misunderstanding. Clear, repeated messaging—supported by real-life examples—helps shift attitudes from suspicion to acceptance.Accountability Creates ConfidenceFrom sales call tracking to fleet management systems, transparent accountability builds trust and empowers employees to take ownership rather than feel micromanaged.Timing and Champions MatterRolling out new processes during high-stress seasons leads to frustration. Identify “champions” inside your team who can lead by example and support peers through change.The Power of Clear GoalsImpossible, future-focused goals drive behaviors more effectively than small, incremental ones. Contrast clarifies what to pursue and what to leave behind.Notable Quotes“Nobody needs more check-the-box tasks. Tools should make people better, not just busier.” – Dustin“Communication and clarity were the best things for us—it's not about tracking people, it's about accountability for the fleet.” – Denise“When I tracked my bushels, the CRM became more than a tool—it created friendly competition that drove performance.” – Melisa“A clear goal informs what I do today—and more importantly, what I don't do today.” – Mark Jewell“Contrast is clarity. Sometimes knowing what we don't want helps us lock in on what we do.” Action StepsAudit your communication: Are you explaining not just the what, but the why behind new systems?Identify a team champion who can model and support adoption.Choose the right season for rollout—don't pile change on top of peak workload.Set clear, future-oriented goals that inspire behavior change.Recognize and celebrate wins publicly; handle resistance privately.Listen If You AreA sales manager struggling to get your team to use a CRM or new toolA leader facing pushback on cultural or process changeAn executive seeking to improve accountability without micromanagementAnyone who wants to drive performance by building clarity and buy-in

Hey Intentional wellness Warrior,  Fear, worry, fright, nervousness, anxiety, panic, agitation, distress- fear. It's all the same and the enemy of this world wants us to feel it all. When we let it take over we live stuck, comfortable, still, quiet, complacent, scared. The Word of God tells us some will say 365 times, do not be afraid. You may listen to this episode months from now or even years, but this week we saw fear and remembered courage. You see, the darkness and evil of this world operates in fear. These principalities and demonic forces that we contend with thrive in fear and want to drive people to fear. So when courageous faith takes a stand it is a threat to them. Violence and tragedy ensues. But we do not live for this time on earth, but we live for eternity. So, we do not fear, but we move forward in the face of fear - that's courage. Take courage, friend- because HE is WITH YOU. So today's verse is: verse: Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 3 min : Inhale: I will take courage Exhale: for You are with me.    Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit into the traditional mold—whether in sports, school, or even life? Maybe you've tried the “standard” path but never felt at home, and deep down you wonder if there's something more—something uniquely yours. What if the obstacles you face aren't there to stop you, but to reveal your true strength? And what would it look like to transform those setbacks into a platform for purpose, impact, and leadership?Today's guest, Karsten Williams, embodies that very journey. From humble beginnings to becoming an 11-time American Ninja Warrior national finalist, Karsten has proven that resilience, creativity, and grit can carry you far beyond conventional boundaries. He turned his passion for movement into not only personal success, but also a mission to inspire others through mentorship, leadership, and community.Karsten Williams is an 11-time American Ninja Warrior national finalist, elite coach, and founder of Ninja Project—a movement platform redefining youth fitness and functional entertainment.

He's leading a new generation to see obstacles not as limitations, but as opportunities to grow stronger, more confident, and more resilient. His story reminds us that failure isn't the end—it's the very foundation of greatness.Quotes:"Always stay true to you, don't compare yourself, and don't try to do what others can do. They might have a unique skill set that I don't necessarily have.""I want to create a space for those people that feel like they're maybe underserved, can come in and have their own experience, and have someone that can love on them, pour into them, encourage them, and it's a win for everybody.""When you do get to the top or experience that success, it's that much more meaningful and impactful because you know what the bottom feels like."Actionable Takeaways:Turn failure into fuel. Ask yourself: Where have I let a setback define me instead of refine me? Write down one failure you've experienced and list three lessons you gained from it.Run your own race. Don't copy someone else's path. Identify one area of life where you've been comparing yourself to others—then outline one action that reflects your strengths and style instead.Redefine obstacles. Each challenge is an opportunity to grow. This week, reframe a personal or professional obstacle by writing how it could actually serve as preparation for a future win.Create belonging for others. Who in your circle feels “on the outside” or like they don't have a place? Reach out and invite them into an activity, group, or conversation that builds connection.Pursue impact, not just success. Ask: If I keep going the way I am, what legacy will I leave behind? Journal about one way you can shift your daily habits from self-focus to serving others.Conclusion:Karsten's journey reminds us that obstacles aren't roadblocks—they're invitations to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. From crashing on his very first Ninja Warrior course to becoming an 11-time national finalist and mentor to thousands, he proves that success is built on perseverance, humility, and the courage to run your own race. His story challenges us to see every setback as a setup for impact—and to pursue a life that inspires others to rise above their own obstacles.

E. coli O157:H7 is one of the leading causes of severe foodborne illness, and romaine lettuce has repeatedly been implicated in widespread outbreaks of this pathogen A Cornell University study that traced contamination from field to table found that irrigation practices are the dominant factor in whether lettuce becomes a carrier of E. coli Lettuce irrigated with untreated surface water sprayed overhead carried the greatest contamination risk, while switching to furrow or drip irrigation reduced illness by over 96% The study showed that consumer washing only lowered risk by 28%, reinforcing that on-farm prevention through safer irrigation is essential to protect lettuce before harvest Although prevention starts with better farm practices, there are still strategies to lower your risk at home, including staying updated on recalls, choosing fresher local produce, washing and storing them properly, and even growing your own food

Today I'm talking about how a subscription box side hustle could bring an extra $1000 a month to your family - with only 50 subscribers.  A subscription box business can be a full-time business. But it doesn't have to be. Many members of Launch Your Box have full-time, 9-5 style jobs and successful subscription box side hustles.

Leading up to and during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial, her legal team was repeatedly cautioned by the court not to publicly identify or expose her accusers. Federal prosecutors and Judge Alison Nathan emphasized that protecting the anonymity of those who testified against Maxwell was critical, both for their safety and for the integrity of the proceedings. The defense had access to the identities of the alleged victims for the purposes of preparing their case, but they were strictly barred from disclosing these names in court filings or in open arguments. Any slip or attempt to hint at the women's full identities risked both sanctions and potential mistrial complications.This restriction was part of a broader effort by the court to ensure that survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell's alleged abuse could testify without fear of retaliation, harassment, or media intrusion. Several accusers used pseudonyms such as “Jane,” “Kate,” “Carolyn,” and “Annie” in open court, with Judge Nathan reinforcing those protections throughout the trial. Maxwell's attorneys pushed the limits at times by suggesting details that could indirectly identify the women, but they were quickly reined in. The judge's clear warnings underscored the tension between Maxwell's right to a robust defense and the accusers' right to privacy and protection, reflecting the high-stakes atmosphere of the trial.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/31/ghislaine-maxwells-lawyers-told-not-id-child-sex-abuse-accusers/5553678002/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Will shares his journey from achieving external success while feeling internally miserable to discovering the profound connection between emotional healing and sexual satisfaction. He breaks down his six fundamental emotions framework and explains why "You're not getting angry because you're tough—you're getting angry because you feel weak," a revelation that changed how he approached both therapy and intimacy. Through candid stories about religious sexual shame and the universal male experience of measuring penis size with a ruler, Will demonstrates how vulnerability can actually increase attraction. The conversation tackles why less than 5% of therapy clients discuss sex directly, how working on general insecurities often improves bedroom experiences more than focusing on sex itself, and practical steps for finding partners who can hold space for authentic emotional expression.

As planning season kicks into gear, I'm sharing one powerful question that every nonprofit leader should ask before setting next year's goals. It's a short episode, but it goes deep — because how you approach planning is just as important as what ends up in your plan. If you've been feeling stuck in survival mode, quietly absorbing the pressure of growth, or running on grit instead of clarity, this episode is for you.I walk through the subtle but critical difference between bracing and leading — and how that distinction can reshape your strategy, systems, and capacity going into the new year.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between “bracing” through growth and leading through itHow to spot signs of burnout-inducing systems (or lack thereof)Key mindset shifts for designing a sustainable organizationKey Takeaways:Bracing means absorbing pressure and defaulting to overwork; leading means designing systems to carry the weight.If you're bracing, your team is too — your operating style sets the tone.You can't grow beyond the strength of your organizational design.Reflection Prompts (Step-by-Step Planning Prep):Ask yourself these questions as you design your goals and work plan:What am I tolerating or carrying that a system could solve? → Identify where your energy is patching holes that systems should fix.Where am I overworking to compensate for a weak container? → Look for signs you're doing more because your structure does less.What did I ‘white-knuckle' this year? → Pinpoint where urgency, not strategy, drove your decision-making.What part of the organization feels fragile or heavy? → That's your signal for a design upgrade.If I stepped into the role of architect instead of operator, what would change? → Envision what would shift if you led through structure, not scramble.Now is the time to invest in smart, strategic redesign of what's blocking your org's growth.

What does it really mean to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself? We walk through Matthew 22 and Deuteronomy 6, look at the Shema's all-consuming call to love, and connect it to Jesus' teaching on obedience and neighbor love. What you'll learn: - The Greatest Commandment and why “all” is the standard: all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. - How Deuteronomy 6 (the Shema) frames an all-consuming love for God that shapes your thoughts, words, and actions. - Why loving your neighbor proves your love for God and how self-love affects the way you treat others. - How Jesus ties love to obedience: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Key Scriptures - Matthew 22:36–40 — The Greatest Commandment and love for neighbor. - Deuteronomy 6:4–6 — The Shema and loving God with all. - Luke 10:25–37 — Who is my neighbor? The Good Samaritan. - John 14:15 — Love expressed through obedience. Apply the message - Heart check: Identify the thoughts you entertain that do not honor God. Replace them with truth and commit them to action. - Mind your words and deeds: Let love shape what you say and what you do, even when culture pushes back. - Neighbor love in action: Practice one concrete act of service today to redirect attention from self to others.

It's back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school.   Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I've learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time.    My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful framework for laying out how you will spend those precious hours while your kids are in school.   If we don't plan, the time can see like it goes by soooo fast.     But if we do have a plan and we don't have wasted or distracted time in between things, we can get so much done and by the time it's school pickup, you feel accomplished and organized and energized and ready to give them the best of you, not the distracted half paying attention version of you.    Our days all look different but as mothers that all love our kids and want as much quality time with them as possible, spending the time you aren't with them strategically, will bring so much joy to your life.         Get Clear on Your Top Priorities Start with “radical clarity” on what truly matters to you. Take time to define what fulfillment, success, and joy mean in your life. Identify your biggest goals and why they're important – this clarity becomes your compass for how to spend your days. List the things you never seem to have time for… both big and small. Maybe it's projects like organizing the closets or family photos, pursuing a passion or side-business, getting back into shape, or finally starting that project. Connect each task to a purpose. For each priority or goal, be clear on why it matters. For example, you might not love the act of meal-prepping lunches, but you do love the outcome of healthier meals and smoother evenings. When you know why a task is important (to your health, career, family, etc.), it's easier to commit time to it. You're designing your life around what matters most to you, not just reacting to whatever comes up. Plan Your Day, Don't Wing It Design each school-day with intention. Map out your day before it starts... even down to hourly blocks if possible. We're just not good enough to wing it consistently and expect great results.  As productivity expert Stephen Covey famously said, “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” In other words, slot your highest-value activities into your calendar.  If working out, writing a chapter of your book, or having an uninterrupted block for work projects is a priority, schedule it into the hours your kids are at school. Identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning. A great habit is to choose the top 2–3 tasks that will make your day feel successful if nothing else gets done. Write these down and tackle them early in the day. Batch and align tasks to the right times. Group similar tasks together and do them at the optimal times of day. For example, if you have high-energy or creative time in the morning, use that for deep work or exercise. Save low-energy tasks (like tidying up or answering non-urgent emails) for the later afternoon slump Be realistic and time-conscious. Don't overload your day with a massive to-do list that ignores the realities of time… that just leads to frustration. Remember, we all have the same 24 hours; it's how we use them that counts.  Make the Most of School Hours: High-Value Activities to Consider When your kids are at school, think of it as your prime time to tackle the things that are hardest to do when they're around. Plan these hours as if they're gold… because they are! Here are some categories and examples of productive, fulfilling things you can do while the kids are in class: Invest in your health and energy: Get your workout in... go for a run, hit the gym, take a yoga or Pilates class, or do a workout video at home. Prioritize meal prep and nutrition: plan healthy dinners for the week, prep ingredients, or cook in batches.  Maybe even schedule that dentist appointment or physical therapy session you've been putting off. Taking care of your physical well-being will boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day. Do deep work or professional tasks: Use the quiet time to focus on work projects or passion projects without interruptions. This could mean building your business (developing a product, marketing, content creation), working on tasks for your job that require concentration, or even starting a side hustle from home.  It might be the perfect window to record a podcast episode or write that book or blog you've dreamed about while the house is silent. If you're pursuing a career goal like earning a certification or applying for jobs, dedicate a block of time to that. Treat these school hours as your “deep focus” sessions to really move the needle on work that matters to you. Learn and grow: Take an online course or use the time to read personal development or business books, listen to inspiring podcasts, or practice a hobby (paint, play an instrument, write in a journal). These hours are a gift for personal growth… seize them to feed your mind and passion. Knock out home and life admin tasks: Get your household organized so that evenings can be more relaxed. For example, do the laundry and cleaning in the morning so you're free to play with the kids later. Declutter a room or tackle that messy closet.  Run errands strategically: if grocery shopping with your children feels like a nightmare, do it solo while they're at school (or order groceries online for delivery). Take the car for service, go to the bank, or handle appointments (haircuts, doctor visits) during this window. By handling errands and chores now, you won't have them weighing on you during family time. Nurture your relationships and social life:  It's healthy and energizing to connect with other adults when you have some free time. Plan a coffee date or lunch with a friend or your spouse once in a while during school hours. Join a local moms' group meetup, or simply call a family member to catch up. Human connection and laughter can recharge you. Also, if you and your partner can swing it, the occasional daytime date while kids are in school... even just a walk or lunch together… can be a fun way to reconnect without needing a sitter. Take care of YOU (self-care time):  Yes, productivity includes self-care, because if you burn out, nothing else works well. So don't feel guilty about using some school time for yourself. In fact, schedule it in. Maybe that means enjoying quiet “me time” to recharge: take a relaxing bath, sit in a park with a coffee, or simply revel in the silence at home to meditate or pray. It could be booking a massage, facial, or therapy session guilt-free, since you're not missing family time to do it.   Eliminate Distractions and Time-Wasters Guard those school hours from distractions. It's easy to lose precious minutes (which turn into hours) by checking texts, scrolling social media, or getting pulled into emails constantly throughout the day.  Identify your personal time-wasters… and nix them.  Take an honest look at where your time tends to “leak” away. Is it the rabbit hole of social media? Random online shopping? Unplanned chats with a neighbor or lengthy coffee breaks? We often don't realize how these add up.  Use productivity tricks to stay focused. Many parents find techniques like time blocking helpful. Time blocking means scheduling a fixed block (say 9–10:30am) for a specific task or category of tasks…  and during that block, you only do that.  Accept that things won't always go as planned.  We can craft the perfect schedule on paper…  and then life happens. Kids get sick, the school calls, the car battery dies, you hit an unexpected wall of fatigue, etc.  Productivity experts who are parents stress that you must expect interruptions as a normal part of life rather than an exception. Don't overload yourself or chase perfection.  It's tempting to use every kid-free minute to “get everything under the sun done” – and set unrealistically high expectations.  It's far better to do a few important things well (and include some self-care) than to do 20 things and be too exhausted to enjoy the evening with your kids. So be realistic and kind to yourself when planning your week. Use habits and routines to stay consistent (but adapt when needed). Establishing regular routines can automate your productivity. For instance, if you always exercise right after school drop-off, soon it becomes second nature and requires less willpower.  Maybe 10–11am is always devoted to your top work project, or perhaps you do a 15-minute mindfulness meditation at the same time daily. Routines build momentum and reduce decision fatigue.  Celebrate what you did get done.  At the end of the day, acknowledge and appreciate the things you accomplished... both the personal (“kept the house running, paid the bills”) and professional. Too often we focus on what we didn't do.  Change that habit! Even if your day went off the rails, maybe you managed to comfort a sick child or have an important conversation.. those count too.  By recognizing the value in all you do (paid and unpaid), you maintain a positive mindset.  Productivity isn't just about checking boxes; it's also about feeling fulfilled. If you ended the day with your kids safe, fed, and loved, and you moved the needle on one personal goal (no matter how small) – that's a win.  Plan Your Days, Love Your Afternoons Maximizing your kid-free hours is ultimately about being intentional… with your time, your habits, and your choices.  By planning ahead and aligning your daily actions to your biggest priorities, you create a life where your important work and your family time can both flourish.  Instead of feeling like the school day “just flies by” in a blur of busy-ness, you'll see tangible progress on your goals and still have energy in the tank when it's time for pickup. That's the true reward here: you get to fully enjoy the afternoons and evenings with your children, being present instead of preoccupied. So remember, a great plan is really about freedom, the freedom to spend your time on the things that light you up and the freedom to be the parent (and person) you want to be.  With a little structure and a lot of consistency, you can turn your school-hour routine into a powerhouse of productivity and fulfillment. Plan your days around what matters most, execute those plans with focus (and a dash of flexibility), and watch how much awesome stuff you get done before the school day is even over.

Between a $24 martini, a glam squad at the hotel, and the reminder of life waiting for me back home, I found myself reflecting on the roles we play — and how old patterns have a way of resurfacing, even when we think we've outgrown them.In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to live in two worlds: the confident entrepreneur I've worked so hard to become and the daughter who sometimes slips back into old family dynamics.If you've ever felt torn between who you are now and the roles you used to play, this conversation is for you.A peek into my NYC adventure — glam squads, brand photos, and sticker shock.The reality of caregiving for an aging parent while running a business.How old roles and behaviors can creep back in, even when we think we've outgrown them.Why living in “two worlds” is actually part of our growth.The importance of embracing the messy middle instead of chasing perfection.I would love to hear your thoughts on my thoughts in this episode.
