Time blocking your day is definitely nothing new, in entrepreneurship or in your personal life. This is, however, a new approach to time blocking that involves being double-intentional with that time frame.  Setting aside time on your calendar for what it is you want to do, and then working backwards to fill in those time blocks has become a game-changer in how I schedule clients and customers.  H...

Kicking off the year with a super creative weekend! In October of 2023 I made the decision to "attend the events" in 2024 which led to purchasing a 2-day ticket for the LA Fit Expo.
