When looking to take a leap in life, the best advice often boils down to these three words: trust your gut. Often that's easier said than done, but this week's guest is living proof that believing in yourself - every step of the way - changes EVERYTHING. Today she's the Creator of the wildly popular The Simplified Planner®, bestselling author, and mama of three – but just a handful of years ago Emily Ley was a newlywed with a love for luxe stationery (which was not in the budget), a knack for DIY and a budding Etsy account. As Simplified grew to hit major shelves like Target and Amazon, Emily hit each milestone while staying true to herself and knowing her “why.” In this episode hear Emily's encouragement for chasing the thing that lights you up, why she's a stickler for morning routines and the inspirational new project that was born out of a season of feeling forgotten. Consider this episode your reminder to “simplify” and trust that your calling and your instincts really do go hand-in-hand.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls Night! So today is a bit of a departure from what I had originally planned. Instead of a new episode, today you're going to hear an episode that originally aired in 2019. And the reason we're doing this repeat is because honestly… I need to.  We have had a few crazy, CRAZY weeks in our house — traveling, a family wedding, the wonderful people who normally help us take care of the girls have been out of town, and then just when we thought life was about to get back to normal — we all got sick. (Which, if I sound weird, or suddenly start coughing, that's why!) The fact that we're all sick has meant lots of time together as a family, which has actually been really sweet. But it's meant absolutely ZERO time for anything else. Seriously, you should see my inbox, and the piles of laundry in our house. So, while we're all recovering, and resting, and wading through piles of laundry, and trying to pull ourselves back together, I thought that in the name of simplicity, we should do a repeat episode — especially because it was such a good one. Our guest for this episode, Emily Ley, is a woman I'm constantly learning from. Not only is she the maker of my all-time favorite planner, The Simplified Planner. But she's an incredible author, podcaster, speaker, entrepreneur, mom (she also has twins!), and in all of those areas of her life, she's both an incredible teacher and student of what it means to live a simplified life.  She also has a gorgeous new kids book coming out here in a few weeks. I just pre-ordered my copy. It's called You're Always Enough: And More Than I Hoped For and I can't wait to read it to my girls! In this episode she teaches us how to make our lives more meaningful and less stressful.  We're talking about: What living a simplified life practically looks like How to rework our day-to-day routine and keep ourselves from overcommitting How to prioritize our time so we're spending less time on things that stress us out and more time with the people we love Practical tips for simplifying our use of social media How to shift our mindset from always wanting more to loving the amazing and beautiful things that we already have And more.  I can't wait for you to hear from her.

This is how we make life work when the honeymoon of summer comes to an end.  Our patience is running thin, the kids are restless and we are craving routine.  We give our strategies on keeping our mental health on point so that we can be better for everyone around us and feel like we have finished well.    As the summer winds down we can feel more stress creeping in as we get a longer list of things we need to get done before school starts.  So how do we begin???   Having a to do list is KEY to making sure that we keep order. It helps us to navigate the most important.  When our heads are in order, it helps to keep our lives in order.  Whether you like pen and paper or a digital planner, it's so important to focus on what lies ahead  Personal growth is something we just cannot let slide by.  Making even 5 minutes to take care of ourselves is crucial to being the best for ourselves and for others. Some of our favorites are plugging in great podcasts, listening to books on audible and just old school sitting down with  a good book to help us grow. We touch on social media and how it can be somewhat of a detriment to our headspace.  We don't want it wrecking our worlds with strong comparison games so we strategically follow those who inspire us.  Surround yourself with inspiration and motivation to keep on track. Borrowing trouble from the future might seem like it's a crazy strategy to keep us on track, but is it?!?  Not necessarily!   Big decisions and little decisions, what affect will it have on our future selves?  Is it going to make us feel more behind or help us get ahead of the game?  By borrowing trouble from the future we can avoid issues while also making great gains in our mental health worlds.    Resources mentioned:  When Less Becomes More Emily Ley 8x11 Simplified Planner Emily Ley 8x5 Simplified Planner   This Episode's FAVES: Face: I Am Love  Fashion: Kimono and This one too!  Food: Costco Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry

It's scary to dream big – to imagine the hard work and sacrifice that come with chasing what's in your heart. But what if achieving your goal helps you build a life you love and helps thousands of women along the way? You'd probably decide it was all worth it – that's how Emily feels. As Simplified celebrates its 13th birthday, Emily shares how Simplified started as a dream to help women live and work well, grew into late nights watching YouTube videos on designing note cards and invitations for an Etsy shop, and eventually evolved into creating the Simplified Planner, writing bestselling books, and creating a beloved brand. Emily shows how to keep moving forward after big life changes (because balancing a new company and a new baby is hard) and how to bounce back after making a million mistakes (because that'll definitely happen when you try something new).   Thanks to our affiliate partner!

Have you ever noticed how we tend to enjoy the things we are intentional about a little bit more than our routine, day-to-day lives? What if I told you that it's possible to build a life you love and rediscover your most authentic self without winning the lottery or upending your entire world?  Well, you're in for a treat, friends! My dear friend Emily Ley is joining me on today's show to talk all about how to create a life you love (and not just one that people will envy on the Internet!). You may know Emily from The Simplified Planner® or her bestselling books A Simplified Life, Grace Not Perfection, or her newest release Growing Boldly. She's built a life she loves, and she's on a mission to help others do the same.  In today's episode, we talk all about life, business, and what happens when you imagine the life you dream of then create a plan to make it happen. She also shares practical ways for women to rediscover themselves, especially after spending so much time in the role of a parent or caregiver.  Tune in to hear more about:  The big risk Emily took that failed spectacularly and what she learned from it. Identifying when you're operating overcapacity and how to implement changes to save your sanity. Emily's “Build” philosophy and her personal challenge to every listener out there. Favorite quotes: 1. There is a time and a place for that kind of work, for the sacrifice. If you're not balancing that work with a season of rest, of nourishment, of taking care of yourself you are absolutely going to fail. 2. I think that we have this responsibility to live our lives in a bold way, but what if we lived our lives that brought others up with us. 3. I really believe that nothing about you is to be wasted. And when you know these things about yourself, you are suddenly looking at a pile of bricks that you can use to build the life you love.4. Look at life and make a choice. What matters right now? Is it the deadline? Or is it the fact that my kids need me? Is it simply getting dinner on the table? What is it? Which ball is in the air that I cannot drop? Let me give myself permission and grace to tell everything else: not right now.   In this episode I answer this question: 1. Do you have tips and suggestions when it comes to networking?

I so loved talking with both Emily Ley and her dear friend, Kristin Winchester, today! They have supported one another through very difficult, lonely times and the vulnerability with which they shared their story touched me. Both are mamas of twins and they came to deep friendship because one of them took initiative and the other responded. Their story is what our lives should hold—initiation, kindness, acceptance, support, and the willingness to be there for one another through many seasons. Kristin and Emily got to the heart of what life is like for most of us as we try to live well the challenging stories we all live within. Kristin is mom to toddling twins. Emily is mama to three lovely little ones, and runs her company, Simplified, in all her spare time. Ha! She knows the power of friendship and teamwork, and we know you’ll be blessed as you listen. You can find Emily on Instagram, too! And she has a surprise for you: She’s giving away one copy of the 2019 Simplified Planner plus a copy of each of her books, A Simplified Life and Grace, Not Perfection ! We hope you’ll be encouraged by our conversation.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the For the Love team! This week, we’re previewing our brand-new series for the new year, For the Love of Good Change, and bringing back one of our most downloaded episodes (not to mention one of our favorite guests): Emily Ley, author and creator of The Simplified Planner! A busy mom and head of a flourishing company, Emily found that striving for “all the things” left her with no time or energy to enjoy the good stuff. A champion for helping others organize, declutter, and simplify, Emily’s own life was lacking in simple joys because she was striving for an impossible standard of perfection. She shares how she learned to give herself grace, say the dreaded “no“ word, and take some steps back in order to move ahead. She also gives us some GREAT bringing-order-to-chaos hacks, like answering the question Jen posed herself: "Why do I have 17 spatulas??” Emily's newest book is A Simplified Life: Tactical Tools for Intentional Living, and her next one comes out this spring—A Standard of Grace: Guided Journal.

Happy New Year and Happy New Series;  For the Love of New Beginnings!  We’re going to dive into the top of the year with guests who have had to start over, re-invent themselves, embrace new seasons, refresh or reset; and we'll learn first-hand how they navigated it. Episode one’s guest is Emily Ley;  author and creator of The Simplified Planner.  A busy Mom (3 kids under 6, including toddler twins) and head of a flourishing company, Emily found that striving for “all the things” was leaving her with no time or energy to enjoy the good stuff in her own life. A champion for helping others organize, declutter, and simplify, Emily’s own life was lacking in simple joys due to a difficult-to-live-up-to standard of perfection she strove to attain. She shares how she had to admit her need to give herself some grace, pare down, learn to say the dreaded “no-“word, and  take some steps back in order to move ahead.  She’ll also give us some GREAT bringing-order-to-chaos hacks, like answering the question Jen posed herself: "Why do I have 17 spatulas??” Emily's new book is A Simplified Life: Tactical Tools for Intentional Living. 

This week on Mom Talk Radio, Emily Ley, creator of the Simplified Planner®, shares tips for living intentionally. Spotlight on Moms features Susanna Barbee of ZealousMom.com.

When I dreamed up my podcast over a year ago,I made a list of all of the guests I really wanted to have on the show and today's guest is one of the women who graced the top 5 on that very list! This episode is one of my favorite this year and will give you a glimpse into the life and mind of the one and only Emily Ley. Emily's energy is contagious and what she has done inside her company over the last 10 years is exceptional. Emily dreamed up the Simplified Planner and her boutique lifestyle brand, Emily Ley in order to create tools that help women to be more intentional and organized in their daily lives. Her work has been featured by Martha Stewart, Good Housekeeping, Glamour, Forbes, and so much more. She believes everyday life doesn't have to be ordinary and that joy is truly found in the journey. Her mission is to inspire women of all ages to build joy and simplicity into their lives through intentional choices, purposeful plans and playful experiences. Over the last decade, Emily has built an empire all the while raising 3 babies, two of which are twins, and stayed true to herself with life-giving relationships and passions. It was such an honor to speak with Emily and to cover all things simplicity, spirituality and even mommy guilt in this episode. I know you are going to get so much from this conversation. Enjoy! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Emily gave herself grace to ebb and flow with life's seasons How to find your true voice through distractions and comparison Why saying yes to every opportunity may be your biggest mistake The biggest mistake Emily made early on in her business and how she pivoted to thrive through the adversity. How spirituality underlies everything Emily does in her life and business What Emily does to teach her children to be still How to deal with mommy guilt and decide what's non-negotiable How to make and keep meaningful relationships in a busy life and business What inspired Emily's latest book on creating a more simplified life WHAT I ASK: How did you learn to tap into your true voice? What is the most educational mistake you've made so far? How does spirituality weave into what you've created? SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES: “You learn who you are by making a lot of mistakes.” “I've always looked at life and said, ‘Do I have to do it this way?'” “It's hard to find real joy when we're so bogged down by all the things.” DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: www.emilyley.com/

She talks about difficult learning curves and decisions that she has had to make to maintain the company values - including a recent decision to cut down on wholesale to be able to better connect with the customer. Because of the recent release of Emily's first book, we chatted about the book writing process, how her book was born and the painstaking decisions of a cover design.

Donna Reish, author, speaker, and blogger from Character Ink Press and Raising Kids With Character, brings you a new year’s podcast episode about using your planner/calendar to get more done. She emphasizes the importance of looking at the day-to-day first (while still keeping your big and lofty goals in place!) by conquering the dailies (with a Daily Duties list). Then she moves into how to make weekly lists that really work (using her ABC prioritizing method and the Terrible Task List). Finally, she describes some helpful ways to set up your monthly calendar to utilize the space better and see things at a glance. She refers to this month’s (January 2016) Friday Freebies’ planner (The Simplified Planner) to help you plan and achieve more each day, each week, and each month. (That is available for free during January for blog or newsletter subscribers, so subscribe and download this month!)
