Following through with the plans you make can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, can't it? It’s not that you lack the skills or knowledge; it’s that doing it all alone can be a real struggle.

Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? You're not alone! We often think that just writing things down is enough to kickstart our productivity, but that’s a common trap. A to-do list can be a great tool for capturing what needs doing, but it doesn’t actually help us figure out what to do next. In this episode, I dive into the difference between a to-do list and a proper plan, and why understanding this distinction is crucial for moving your business forward.

Ep136: Hot vs cold executive function - the secret to getting things done?
Understanding how our brains work can be a game changer for productivity, especially when you're juggling the demands of a solo business. This week, I'm diving into the fascinating world of executive function - specifically the differences between your hot and cold executive functions (EF). It turns out that while your hot EF can be a motivator when the stakes are high, it can also lead to procrastination and distraction when emotions run wild. On the flip side, your cold EF brings consistency and focus but lacks that emotional spark to get you started. I’ll share how finding the right balance between these two can help you stay on track and make real progress, so you can start making your brilliant ideas happen!

Ep134: Learning to pause before you say yes (or no!)
Saying yes to every invitation can feel like the polite thing to do, but it often leads to a whirlwind of stress and regret. In this episode, we dive into the tricky balance between our instinct to say yes and the importance of protecting our time and peace. I share stories from my own experiences and those of a past client who was always quick to accept new commitments, only to find herself overwhelmed later. We explore how our subconscious shapes these responses and discuss the power of simply pausing to think before we respond. So, whether you're a yes-sayer or a no-sayer, let's figure out how to navigate those invites without losing our sanity!
