I'm happy to share my mom with you in this episode!    She's truly the best and I couldn't think of anyone better to share about my transformation and how I was as a child.    If you're thinking, “I'm way too disorganized and lost to learn this.” I can promise you that it's just not true.    When I asked my mom if I was naturally organized, she said I did have an organized child but it wasn't you. Ha! Maybe my sister did have an edge on me as a kid.    I am pleased to announce that because of the systems that I teach and personally use, I am no longer the epic procrastinator that I was before.    But I'm human and are there days where I'm like, “I don't want to scrub my bathroom?” Of course, there are. But here's what's a game-changer in this program.    I know what strategies I need to put in place to help me avoid a tendency to lean into procrastination!   Are you ready to start your journey to work+life harmony?

When people hear the word “systems” it can be a turn-off. Systems sound complicated, complex, and confusing. But I promise it can be 100% the opposite!    The systems inside the TOP program are specifically designed to make life easier for you.    In this episode:   I'm going to reframe systems so that they're easy to understand I will explain how I've created formulas to help you create the right schedule for you and your family You will learn how you can use these systems in other areas of your life (I even have a system for paper clutter!)   The ideal organization methods change for each person and spoiler alert, it doesn't just mean you have a clean desk.

Let's start with what time management is NOT.    It doesn't mean that every minute of every day is scheduled.  It also doesn't mean that you do the same thing every day or week.  It's not so rigid that you can't change plans or be flexible People resist the idea of time management because of these preconceived notions. It's not about getting the most done. It's about using your time well and in a way that serves you.    You are the ultimate decision-maker over your calendar.    You will be setting up the right structure and boundaries so that you can have flexibility so that you can have freedom.    I want to be able to call you two months from now and I ask you, “Hey, what did you do for fun this week?” and you're going to be able to give me an answer and you will have done it guilt-free.  Are you ready to start your journey to work+life harmony?

In this episode, we're digging deeper into the concept of work+life harmony and how it can be achieved.    You'll notice I don't use the term balance. Usually, as women, it's a lot more complicated than balancing two things and giving them equal attention at the same time.    I want you to think, are you trying to balance everything at the same time?    Are you trying to fit everything in and give it all your equal attention?    If you're constantly feeling exhausted and stretched too thin you need to aim for harmony and kick that balance word out of your vocabulary!  Are you ready to start your journey to work+life harmony?

In this episode, you're going to get to know one of my clients, Leah. She was a reluctant stay-at-home mom when she joined The TOP Program and has since started her own business helping other moms.    When she first started the program she described life as feeling like she was on a constant hamster wheel. She didn't have any structure in her day and didn't even know what structure should look like with two young children. She was struggling emotionally and fighting to get anything done.    Life was controlling her, definitely not the other way around.    After ditching old methods to try to get organzied, she's adopted the systems and tools  in The TOP Program and has seen (and FELT) a major shift in her day to day living.    I'm excited to have you listen in on Leah's transformation and what she's achieved!   Are you ready to start your journey to work+life harmony?

Everyone is searching for ways to increase their productivity and to be honest there are a lot of ridiculous ideas on it floating around.    So many “gurus” encourage you to go faster, work harder and just do more. *eye roll*   I really like to flip the idea of productivity on its head by asking, “how can we be our best at everything by doing less?”   Productivity to me is simply getting the most important things done in a way that does not stress you out.    And the best part is that you get to decide what is most important to you. You're in control of your productivity and you can do it in a way that feels good to you and doesn't leave you feeling overwhelmed and rattled.   Are you ready to start your journey to work+life harmony?

How many times have you tried unsuccessfully to live a “balanced” life? You're busy trying to juggle all of the things (your business, health, family, friends, hobbies) and no matter how hard you try, how well you plan, it seems like you fall short of the goal; in your attempt to feel balanced you've somehow ended up feeling more chaotic, less fulfilled and more overwhelmed. The truth is, at some point we've all overextended ourselves in the pursuit of balance and we've all bought into the lie that work/life balance even exists.   As a business owner, mom and wife Megan Sumrell, former corporate techie turned entrepreneur, knows exactly how hard it is to juggle #allthethings while still maintaining your own sense of self and purpose. When her daughter was born in 2010, life as she knew it completely changed. After struggling to manage work, motherhood, family, etc, Megan set about a new way to manage her time and organize her calendar. She took her 20+ year career in systems and processes and applied it to one of her favorite things…time management!  As a Time Management and Productivity Coach for women seeking Work+Life Harmony, Megan teaches specific strategies to help women get on top of their time, calendar and goals while getting rid of stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion. She is the creator of the TOP Program and TOP Planner, a program and planner that teaches her proprietary system and processes regarding time management, organization and productivity for women. In today's episode Megan shares why traditional planning approaches don't often work for women and offers suggestions on ways we can approach planning in a way that better aligns with the feminine energy and lifestyle.

E11-HealthFirst - BreastfeedingPodcast For Hire E11-HealthFirst - BreastfeedingINFOHealhFirst Network216 South 3rd AvenueWausau, WI 54401(800) 246-5743Transcription for SEO purposes onlyJustine is a public relations and education specialist for health first network in Wausau, Wisconsin, as well as in other counties in North Central Wisconsin, what programs you guys are working on her with a program to do it is between outreach program or top what is Topl about top is a great program that we currently have implemented into the six grade curriculum at Adams Friendship area school district that we go in for one hour each week with different groups of students and we are able to provide curriculum lessons and then in addition to that we do a community service learning component that is part of this curriculum as well. Top is an evidence-based curriculum. There are different components to an indifferent fidelity requirements to make sure that this program is working to the best of its ability where some of the effects of the top program. The top program is really great for the students. There is a community service learning component so and that they are building ties to their community and we found that through doing that these students feel more of a responsibility to their community by having that tie, they are less likely to engage in behavior that is detrimental to their community. In addition to that the curriculum has three different components to it. So there is a connecting with others component of building my skills and learning about myself, so through those three different areas that are able to as it sounds, build their skills so there are things such as relieving stress and emotional intelligence. There is a social emotional learning component to this. So there are so many things that are going into this so that the students are able to learn about themselves connect with others connect with their community. So by building all these things we are scaffolding and building these students up to create self-confidence and by doing that it really has long-term positive effects on their health and on all the different realms of their health. So, not just health and the way often we think about it a physical health but there is an emotional health is a social health and so on and so forth that comes with this curriculum are the ties we made to the community. The tither being made to the community through community service learning which is a component of the top program or teen outreach program so community service learning projects could include a wide variety of things we often do projects with the students within the classroom. Since we are part of the school day where we may be. Create letters that we send then to an assisted living home or we have created things such as fleece blankets that we've donated to the assisted living home down there. We have created dog treats cat toys for humane societies. There's a lot of different ways that this can go. But as long as we have that tie to the community and something that can benefit the community members as the main thing that were looking for and then as part of that. We want the students to feel the glow and that comes right from the Wyman or top curriculum. And that's the big piece of it. So with the community service learning project. Those students are choosing what they want to do so. This isn't something that we tell them that you're gonna be doing this project or that project. It's something that they have a tie into and that they have communicated that they would like to do and that helps them really build that tie versus being told what to do because as we know that usually doesn't work with students or anybody. Anybody that that matter

Karen Lee Orozco is an airbrush artists whose paintings are a mixture of her favorite forms, which include Pop and Illustration Art. She was first introduced to airbrush in her high school Studio Art class while attending Balboa High School, Canal Zone. She is currently pursuing her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree at Austin Peay State University. Most of her paintings give the viewer a glimpse into her culture, the Hispanic/American culture and the social/environmental issues she wants to bring to light. Some include her personality in satire form. She finds that satire art makes it easier for her to bring attention to issues that need to be addressed. Some of her paintings are titled in Spanish (her first language) and include memories from her past in conjunction with cultural elements. She feels that airbrush can be more than something appreciated on posters, cars, guitars, and motorcycles; it can be furthered into a new form of fine art. Karen is an accomplished artist in other realms as well. One of her other favorite mediums is photography. She's the owner of KO Photography in Clarksville, TN where she freelances for statewide professional boxing matches. She's worked with film, digital, and historical processes like, cyanotype and tintypes. Most of her artistic photographs include, street photography, portraiture, and dreamscapes. Karen has also freelanced documentary, weddings, and conferences; many of her photographs have been used in online advertising and news publications for the organizations and/or athletes she's worked with. “Art is what I love, and what I do. To say that I'm simply a painter, a drawer, or a photographer is to leave out the most important element of my being; an artist.”-- Karen Lee Orozco

I'm Brina Kay, and this is my story. I believe every good song begins with a story. No matter what has happened in my own, whether it be struggle, pain, confusion, or joy, music has been there for me without judgement and without constraint. It reminds me that I'm not alone, helps me understand the world, and gives me hope for tomorrow. No matter how trapped I may feel by my circumstances, music finds a way to set me free. I didn't always plan on becoming a songwriter, but every decision I've made in my life boils down to choosing freedom. Freedom over security, freedom over expectation, and freedom over limits. I've been musical for as long as I can remember. I learned to play the violin in kindergarten, sang in choirs, performed in musicals, at minor league baseball parks, and on dance teams. It was only a matter of time before I began writing my own songs. I figured out how to get one fully produced back in 2016 and haven't looked back since. The summer of my senior year of college I joined the “Gunnison Drive Band” and performed gigs all around Nebraska. Upon graduation, I had a choice to make, carve out a safe and comfortable life for myself or take a chance on something bigger. I choose to follow my heart down to Nashville Tennessee to pursue music. Coming up on my first year, I've produced four new singles, two music videos, and performed in venues big and small all around town. It isn't always easy, but I can't wait to find out what else is on the Horizon.

My name is Amanda Dudley, I am native to Clarksville, TN. I am currently enrolled at Austin Peay State University, entering my senior year studying studio arts. Outside of school I take on my own practices, focusing on drawings with charcoal as my main medium, but I also use acrylics and media. I am a mother first, a student second, and always thinking creatively.

I grew up in Arlington, Texas and have been drawn to music ever since I was in Kindergarten, singing songs on the playground during recess. Music has always been a way for me to relate to people and to feel like I'm understood. When I was 11 years old I began putting my thoughts into songs and performing them for family and whatever stage I could get on. The more I learned about music, the more I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Around this time, I heard about Nashville and started to take trips there whenever I had breaks from school. At 15 years old, I was able to make the move that would change my life.Not long after I moved to Nashville, I released my first EP. Ever since then I've been playing out, meeting new people, and living out my dreams. Now, at 18, I have released a new song, Skin. This is the most personal song I've written thus far. Loving ourselves is a journey that we are all on, and I hope my new song, Skin, helps people know they aren't alone.I'd love to see y'all at my performances in Nashville, but if you aren't able to make it then you can follow my journey through social media.
