If you skipped part one, please go back and listen to Episode 215 ! In this series, the episodes progressively build on the last because I’m sharing a specific framework or process.

Well, hello! I hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday! We are just about done with February, and only have one month left in quarter 1… Can you believe it?! Well, today, I have a treat for you! My friend Shayla Hilton joined me for a conversation that truly blessed me. Honestly, even while we were talking, I felt like it was a convo the Lord let us have just so I could go back and relisten. We tal...

There’s this phrase that I was notorious for using when I was asked if I followed through on something I said I was going to do or wanted to do…it went something like, “I tried, but I just don’t have enough time…” This happened a lot when I was younger, and today I’m going to share the scenarios I used it the most. I’m also going to explain what this phrase actually means as it pertains to your ti...

In today's episode, I'm throwing it back to 2021, when I first shared these three Proverbs! Since then, I've been even more aware of how easy it can be to sacrifice my wellness or even my walk with the Lord because of my decision to remain busy. Well, if that's you, these passages are FOR YOU!   You don't have to be so busy that you sacrifice what matters most.  You don't have to compromise on you...

Hey sis! Today, I'm taking a little break from all the productivity & time management talk because the Lord put something on my heart that I just NEEDED to share.   I don't know about you, but seasons of doubt, discouragement and disappointment are rough. Today, I share about my own experiences in this current season, which appear to be similar to what many of you are going through, too. I pra...

Hey hey! Happy Tuesday, sis! I hope you are having a fabulous day at the time you’re tuning in. Today, I’m going to offer some biblical encouragement and perspective on the topic of accomplishing what you set out to do… specifically with respect to actually seeing improvements in your productivity and time management. Does this sound like you? You’re trying your best, doing what you believe the Lo...

Hey friend! Today, I'm so excited to share about a FREE productivity workshop I'm hosting this Thursday, and spilling ALL the details about what it is, who it's for, why you need to be there and what it'll cost you if you skip.   If you are a Christian woman who is always busy, but struggle to be productive... if you want to master time management and have more time for what matters to you... if y...

Hey you! If you’re anything like I used to be, you’ve caught yourself saying, “I don’t know where my time goes.” Time management and productivity aren't taught in school, so if you're struggling with either, don't feel bad! Whether you’re always running late to things or just trying to get caught up on your long to-do list, you may still find yourself falling behind and pressed for time. If you wa...

If your relationship with the Lord takes a hit when you’re busy, listen up. I’m guilty of putting Jesus on the back burner when life gets hectic. Trust me, I’m not perfect! That’s the reason I know how harmful of a habit it is.    Today, I’m giving you two very simple, straight forward strategies you can implement today if you recognize your time with the Lord coming in second to your to-do list. ...

The Holy Spirit has prompted me to speak about rest. As believers, we can be tempted to believe that rest is optional, especially when things become busy. We worry about taking time to rest. We worry about slowing down. We worry about taking that tactical pause because we worry about all the things we still have to do. So, today, I want to speak to the root of your issue and help you shift your pe...

What up, sis! I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but your to-do list is actually NOT contributing to improving your time management or productivity. Instead, it’s making you anxious and contributing to the overwhelm. In this episode, I’ll share WHY that’s the case, and I’ll give you a mindset reframe to help you think about how to remedy this situation.    Before we get into it, don’t forget to...

Welcome back! I'm talking about mindset today because you cannot improve in time management or productivity if you don't first shift your mindset. Trust me, if this wasn't necessary, I wouldn't bother. I'm the FIRST person to say, "just give me the step-by-step." HOWEVER, it's not all about WHAT you're doing... it's more about HOW YOU'RE THINKING about what you're doing.    The truth is, you can’t...

Happy New Year! Have you ever gone through something and, when you look back at it, you’re like, “wow, that was hard.” Yep, that was 2023… for A LOT of us! Well, after connecting with a lot of women inside The Community, including some past and current clients, I KNOW it was hard to focus this year with most of the complaints centering around being so busy, feeling unprepared and just being scatte...

What is up, sister friend! As I was reflecting on everything I shared this past Tuesday, including the time management tips and productivity strategies that helped me get to new levels in 2023, I also reflected on the things that held me back in 2023... I realized these limiting beliefs are the very lies my clients (and even my friends!) subscribed too.   There are TWO limiting beliefs that I real...

  What’s up, friends! For the last couple of years, I’ve done a Q4 Recap, but this year, I want to look at 2023 in totality and share the themes and lessons of the year, including the really hard things.

Sis, are you already exhausted this holiday season? I know things get real crazy real fast, schedules fill up and all the extroverting you’re doing is calling for more caffeine. It can be hard to have joy when you feel so run down, so I decided to share a conversation I had with my friend, Michelle Byrd, who you last heard from in Episode 117: Want To Fit In Devotional Time EACH & EVERY DAY? I...

Well, hello! Today, I’m sharing a conversation I had with my friend, Bonnie Jean Schaefer. Bonnie shares her testimony and experience as a single Christian woman, what it looks like to live differently in a world that is constantly trying to tell you who you are or should be, and how to shift your mindset from feeling unworthy to being significant, no matter what your marital status is.    Bonnie...

🎙 Have you ever heard someone use the term “lukewarm” when referring to another Christian? What does that even mean? While we are called to be in this world, not of it, the world is still fighting to influence us and dim that fire and passion we have for the Lord. Today, I’m sharing 3 signs you’re a lukewarm Christian, and busting out the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God! I’ve 7 scrip...
