How to Survive the Holidays Without Burning Out!
We put a lot of pressure on ourselves these days to make our holidays “perfect.” With Pinterest, Instagram, Martha Stewart, and all the comparison we naturally do - it sometimes feels like we will never measure up. Or… We spend all our time and energy striving to out-do our own childhood; or neighbors; or family members… And it kind of sucks the magic and joy right out of the holiday, doesn’t it?
Spring is Here! Time to Declutter Your Space, Time, and… Mind?
Do you get the itch for spring cleaning and decluttering? I do. I can’t wait to empty closets and cupboards, drawers and cubbies. I love the feeling of taking a carload of items to donate. It’s seriously one of my favorite things.
But besides getting rid of physical objects - I love to declutter my schedule, my calendar, my phone - even my mind. Sounds a little woo-woo doesn’t it? It’s actually not. IT’s a sure-fire way to ditch overwhelm and burnout.. and increase our energy as the world comes alive once again. I invite you to try it out!
What Is Positive Communication? A Guide to Asking For What You Want/Need - and Getting It.
The goal of every overwhelmed woman is to manage her time and energy in a way that decreases stress and allows for more recharging, more rest, and more fulfillment in her days... But with many women, it can be hard to ask for help in order to make time in your day for the things - and people - that bring you joy.
Oftentimes, it comes down to not wanting to be a burden… or not wanting to seem selfish. Even the most successful women sometimes get caught in the loop of people-pleasing and find it hard to ask for what they need or want. And when others don’t know… our needs and wants just keep getting put on the back burner again and again.
3 New Time-Saving Tricks I’ve Been Trying (and One I’m Giving Up)
Over the last year, I've been feeling uninspired with time management tricks for finding more “balance” in my life, because no matter how hard I try for that perfect “balance” - nothing seems to do the trick.
As you can imagine, this has left very little room for creating routines, systems, and habits that feel exciting and new - and create more space in my days.
However, in trying to get my mojo back, I've discovered that I was making it way too complicated! Turns out - the simpler, the better.
If you're in a similar place and have been feeling more and more overwhelmed with daily life but not sure what to do about it, you’re going to love this post. I’m sharing three new time management tips that are simple, easy, and working for me!
The Perfect Way to Avoid Burnout for Over-Scheduled Women
What is Burnout? Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion that results from chronic stress and overwork (or overscheduling). It's often characterized by feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and a sense of detachment from one's work, responsibilities, and even the things that bring us joy. Burnout can occur in any area of life, such as work, relationships, or personal life, and can have a significant impact on a person's overall well-being.
When is the Best Time to Take Back Control of Your Health?
So how – and when – can you find enough time for focusing on your health? Well, first - choose one place to start. I often suggest to my clients to start with what they eat. Eating more healthy foods and less sugar immediately gives a bump to your energy levels and clarity of thinking (meaning you also make better choices in all areas of life - wink, wink). One of the best ways to set yourself up for success in eating more healthily is to meal plan and meal prep - especially for your on-the-go meals and snacks!

5 Steps To A Fresh Start
Have you set your New Year’s Resolutions yet? Yeah… Me neither. Not my thing. Did you know by January 17th most people have already quit their resolutions? So many people, in fact, that it’s known as the “National Quitters Day?” 92% of people don’t keep their resolutions the full year… So yeah. No thanks.
BUT… That doesn’t mean I don’t use other methods to set myself up for success and a great year! Here’s my system:
T-minus 19 Days…
Sometimes we can be so quick to move on, that we forget to look back and take stock of how we got to where we are. I use a process each year to reflect, remember, celebrate, and let go… Sometimes I take several days to visit this process, sometimes it’s an hour or so in a coffee shop… Wherever you are this year, I encourage you to take what time you can and give 2022 it’s due. Here’s the process that has served me well the last several years:
