Reading Time: 7 minutes What do you do when life moves at light speed, but you feel like you can’t keep up?

It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s likely time to slow down and rest.

I know many of you will have a visceral reaction to that — you don’t have time to slow down! But if you don’t slow down and take a beat now, you’ll be forced to later. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t go full speed ahead forever. You aren’t the Energizer Bunny, my friend.

And that’s why in today’s episode, we’re talking about SIX ways to slow down when life moves too fast. Because you can’t keep going at this pace forever — something’s gotta give!

Reading Time: 5 minutes Have you ever wondered why all those time management and productivity “hacks” don’t work for you? It’s not you — it’s them! You don’t need to get up earlier and force yourself into focus mode. Or buy another planner and fancy pens. Or even just make yourself sit down and focus.

Traditional time management philosophies fall short because they don’t lead with value and intention — the two main ingredients for creating habits that stick! Learn more about how I do this using the HEART Method in today’s episode.

Why Traditional Time Management Theories Aren’t Working for You

Reading Time: 5 minutes Are you the kind of person who always needs background noise to work? If so, you might be sabotaging your focus! As it turns out, science says that silence really is golden — at least when it comes to being productive.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why silence is so important for focus, and how to find silent moments in your everyday life, even when everything around you feels chaotic.

Reading Time: 6 minutes Struggling to find ways to add more time to your life? Tired of working nonstop, adding more errands to your never-ending list of things to do, and ultimately running on fumes? Well, my friend, it may be time to consider building a home management team!

Reading Time: 5 minutes Discouraged by “failing” or forgetting to make progress on your New Year’s Resolution (or goals in general)? Don’t be — it happens to the best of us! In this episode, I’m covering WHY we lose steam on our resolutions and sharing a few simple yet strategic ways you can get yourself back on track.

Reading Time: 4 minutes How many times have you thought, “I can do it all,” only to realize that you could NOT, in fact, do it all?

We’ve all been there. As mothers, business owners, and women operating in this world, we’re conditioned to believe that we have to do everything ourselves, or we’ve failed in some way. But in this episode of the It’s About Time podcast, I had the chance to chat with Tanya Dalton, author of “The Joy Of Missing Out.”

She walked me through her framework for making small huge moves and talked about the gift of delegating in life — whether that’s at home or work!

Reading Time: 5 minutes Ever heard the term “career self-care”? I hadn’t either, until I met Minda Zetlin! But since then, the term hasn’t left my brain for a second. In a culture that puts so much emphasis on hustle and grind and teaches us to pin our worth to the number of hours worked, it’s more important than ever to practice self-care around the thing we spend 40 (or more) hours a week on: our careers!

Reading Time: 5 minutes Sometimes, the best things happen when you take an unexpected step back from the daily hustle of running a business. Rachel Greiman discovered this when COVID-19 shut down daycares, and she was forced to delegate more of her copywriting projects to other writers.

Though this led to a pay cut (at first) as she took on less client work herself, it ultimately led her to triple her business revenue the next year. Listen to this podcast episode to hear how making tough decisions might just be the BEST decision in the long run.
