Summer planning round 3, ding ding ding. I share a lot of my life because I am part of the Organize 365® brand. I've been podcasting for over 12 years and over that time I have shared a lot about me, my life, and my family. Recently I shared how I wanted to spend the next 120 days upleveling the upstairs of my house. Those plans changed when Abby decided to have back surgery. And once again those plans have changed. And when evaluating my boundaries, I asked to share some news on this podcast I'd been withholding to explain why all the changes. My personal life A year or two ago I started practicing boundaries. My family has never been upset with anything that I shared but I started thinking they are adults and it's their news to share when there's news. I don't need to share everything. And a year ago I decided to stop sharing vacation/trips with social media and on the app. But then I wanted to share something while I was on a trip and I questioned my boundaries. I've decided I have boundaries in place but when I want to share something I will even if it goes against those boundaries. My boundaries are flexible. Unexpected golden window When Abby's back surgery got cancelled, I removed the “When Abby has back surgery” google calendar and my calendar was bare! I'd dedicated about 80% of my upcoming time to take care of Grayson and Abby. Now what did I want to do in this unexpected golden window? People often ask “I have so much to do, but when I have a pocket of time, I don't know what to do first.” I say all you need to do is just pick. I had lots of options when that time opened up on my calendar. I decided I want to make the PhD a priority. You see, Abby had to do some pre-operation bloodwork that revealed she's expecting. Yes!! Hence the surgery is off. This discovery led to a cascade of changes for the next 120 days. The second thing I decided I wanted to do was revisiting creating an office upstairs in our house. And I created a little bedroom upstairs for Grayson like I'd mentioned before so our house is ready for this next phase of life.  Wanna know how I'm gonna spend the rest of this time?  Italy, a Wedding, and a Baby Knowing the baby is coming in December, I want to plan our Italy trip for this fall. It's been cancelled a few times, and I want to go before Abby needs us with baby #2. More news I've been keeping private is that Abby is engaged and they're getting married in the Spring of 2026, so we definitely need to squeeze this trip in. Pray for me as I plan this wedding. LOL So travel, travel is the other thing I want to do for this 120 days. By the time you listen to this episode I will have just come back from Michigan. Greg and Joey are headed to the Keys. When we head to FL I'm taking Grayson to Disney (secretly hoping it becomes our little tradition.) I'm taking an adult field trip to VA. And I'll be planning this Italian trip for the fall that we've talked about taking forever! So I have a few things keeping me busy.  I will not be creating any courses or Sunday Baskets® for weddings, vacationing, or any other courses based on the events currently in my life. I'm not a public figure that is going to try to be an expert in everything I do. When I created Organize 365® I chose a subject I was an expert in and a subject that I wanted to talk and teach about until I was at least 80. Teaching others about organization is my unique gift and I'm going to stay in that lane.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Have you ever experienced a moment when things didn't work out the way you thought they would? You expected the situation to go one way, but it went in a totally different direction— and you were left wondering, “What just happened?” Maybe it was a job you thought for sure you'd get, but didn't. Or a relationship that fizzled out when you believed it would go the distance. Or a business deal that showed every sign of success, but failed unexpectedly. What do you do in these moments when life seemingly veers off course? In this week's sermon, we unpack a story about two brothers— one in particular who faces a moment like this. Things don't go the way he'd hoped, and he's left with a choice to make about how to respond. As we hold up this story, we'll discover wisdom and guidance for what to do when we find ourselves in the same boat, navigating uncharted waters.  

Bug infestations are stressful. Having an established relationship with a “bug guy” helps exterminate that stress. All emergencies are more stressful when you try to handle them alone, but having a financial planner who enables you to understand where funds can come from helps decrease your stress.

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Have you ever experienced a moment when things didn't work out the way you thought they would? You expected the situation to go one way, but it went in a totally different direction— and you were left wondering, “What just happened?” Maybe it was a job you thought for sure you'd get, but didn't. Or a relationship that fizzled out when you believed it would go the distance. Or a business deal that showed every sign of success, but failed unexpectedly. What do you do in these moments when life seemingly veers off course? In this week's sermon, we unpack a story about two brothers— one in particular who faces a moment like this. Things don't go the way he'd hoped, and he's left with a choice to make about how to respond. As we hold up this story, we'll discover wisdom and guidance for what to do when we find ourselves in the same boat, navigating uncharted waters.

For years, Payson has maintained that Nichole is the most talented athlete in their household, but it wasn't until this winter that she finally decided to add some structure to her riding and shoot for some concrete goals. It all came about during an unusual lull in her schedule shortly after she and Payson finished his crossing project in New Zealand and got married in Tasmania, and just after she completed her capstone project for her Master's Degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. Payson and Nichole sat down to talk about how her tentative request for a training plan turned into an increasingly busy racing schedule. She started out by jumping into the four-day Sahara Gravel stage race in Morocco in February before winning the Central Missouri Circuit, a 340-mile ultra race, earlier this month. This weekend, she'll be lining up for the Unbound 100 in preparation for the Vapor Trail, a high-country bikepacking race later this year. Nichole talks about surprising herself in Morocco by discovering a thrill for racing, dealing with the heat, mental exhaustion, and fueling headaches during the overnight Central Missouri Circuit, and what it's been like having Payson as a coach. They also catch up on her studies at Johns Hopkins and how they relate to her work at the biopsy clinic in Uganda. For a more in-depth conversation about her work in pathology, listen to our episode from last year: Nichole Baker on her eighth year in Uganda for Path of LogicInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

This week, we dive into the world of shock title changes and those moments that made us say, “Wait… THEY won the big one?”From The Miz cashing in on Randy Orton to Eddie Guerrero conquering Brock Lesnar, we count down the Top 10 World Title Wins No One Saw Coming—but maybe, just maybe, we should've. We explore what led up to each win, why it felt so unlikely at the time, and the reasons why those moments worked.But first, we cover the latest headlines:

What if the reason you're stuck isn't your budget—but the fact that you started with one? I'm joined by Dr. Annie Cole, founder of Money Essentials for Women, who turned a $26K social work salary into $1 million in real estate, nearly $400K in investments, and shaved 20 years off her retirement date—all before turning 40. Her secret? A radically different approach to wealth building that doesn't start with pinching pennies. Annie walks us through her 5-Step Wealth Framework, including how to create a financial vision that actually aligns with your life, the real reason high-earning women still feel broke, and why investing just $1 could be the best place to start. In this episode we discuss: A clear understanding of why budgeting is not your starting line The mindset shift that took Annie from broke to financially free Three different ways to structure your budget based on your life goals Why your income isn't the biggest factor in wealth-building—and what is  How to start investing today (even if you're scared and have no idea where to start) How to break free from outdated financial beliefs that keep women playing small The #1 habit that accelerated Annie's wealth and financial freedom How to spend under your means without feeling restricted Why financial planning > penny pinching How to release shame and take control, even if you're starting from zero Learn more and connect with Annie: Website: https://money-essentials.com Instagram: @moneyessentialsforwomen You'll Walk Away Knowing:  Budgeting is often seen as restrictive and can keep people stuck. A life vision is essential for effective financial planning. Financial goals should align with personal values and aspirations. Income alone does not equate to financial freedom. Investing is crucial for building wealth and passive income. Creating a financial plan can empower individuals to make intentional decisions. Unexpected expenses are a part of life; having a buffer is important. Mindset shifts are necessary for overcoming financial limitations. Women often hold outdated beliefs about money and work. Money coaching fills the gap between financial advice and personal finance education. Here is that blog post I wrote that answers the question "How Do I Start Investing?"
