In December, as I was dreaming about ways that I could continue optimizing my systems and become more productive (while also passing along that knowledge to you), I had an idea. This is the Business MINIMALIST podcast, so as you know, I’m obsessed with finding ways that less can be better in business. So this year, instead of focusing on all the things I want to add to my plate, I started by askin...

Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite subjects: how to get time blocking to FINALLY work for you. And I say, “finally” because I know there’s a lot of frustration with time blocking, especially for beginners, or women like you who have a million and one roles and responsibilities to fill. However, you need to know that it’s totally normal if time blocking didn't work for you the first time...

When’s the last time you took the time to really celebrate an accomplishment in your business? I’ve noticed recently that my coaching clients are quick to move from project to project without stopping to celebrate the little achievements along the way. If I'm being honest, I've noticed it in myself too. But what's the point of working so hard if we can't take the time to actually enjoy our success...

As a creative business owner, I LOVE the ShowIt website platform . When I first started my business, I hopped around to several different platforms, but to this day, I think ShowIt is the most beautiful, versatile, and easy to use platform.

The end of the year is a natural time to reflect and think about what’s coming next.

And I can relate. There are a lot of unhealthy practices we can fall into when it comes t...

As business owners, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to get as many things done as possible - with the naive hope that someday we’ll be free from our to-do lists. But this goes against everything I believe about productivity. It’s not about how many things you get done. It’s about making space for the right things. It’s about learning to live a life marked by freedom and intention while a...

This isn't what I usually show up to talk about. But over the summer, I had a client who changed my mind.
