Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness

You ever have one of those weekends where you swear you’ve got your life together—then realize you accidentally threw your systems out the window somewhere between school drop-off and the trunk-or-treat? 😅🧡 The Vibe:This one’s a confession. I talk a big game about simplifying, planning ahead, and honoring my energy, but this past weekend? I set myself up for chaos and paid for it. Between a school event, late-night travel, chronic illness fatigue, and forgetting my own advice, I found myself deep in the “I should know better” zone.In this episode, I’m calling myself out (with love), reflecting on what went sideways, and showing how I’m using my own Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness Rolodex to recover from the burnout spiral.✨ Takeaway Moment:Even when life throws her beautiful bitchiness at you, your systems aren’t failing; they’re waiting to help you recover.🗣️ Mentioned in This Episode The Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness Rolodex: 20-20-20 Rule A way to relax your eyes after staring at a screen for too long⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Weekend vacation gone wrong 00:54 – Scrambling to get ready 01:37 – The stressful journey begins 03:14 – Recovering from the weekend 03:53 – What the SLBB Rolodex is all about 05:33 – My practical recovery tips 07:40 – Rolodex categories revealed 08:28 – Final thoughts and feedback📬 Let’s Connect💌 Weekly Pep Talks + Tools: Notes from Michelle🌀 Explore the SLBB Rolodex: Flip Thru Here!📱 DM Me: TikTok / Instagram🧡 Inhale the calm.

Why did I even start creating systems in the first place?🧡 The VibeI’m pulling back the curtain on why I started building life systems in the first place and not because I wanted to be organized (lol, I wish), but because life threw me a plot twist called multiple sclerosis. When your nervous system decides to remix your plans without notice, you learn real quick that you need more than motivation, you need systems that keep you afloat.My flare-ups forced me to create ways to keep my house running, my energy protected, and my peace intact. Those became my Life Systems Rolodex — the tools, checklists, and “bare minimum” moves that help me stay functional when life gets chaotic.The real takeaway? You don’t need perfect answers. You just need something that helps you get through the moment. Small shifts can change everything. And through this show, we’ll keep building the kind of systems that make real life, the messy, beautiful, bitchy kind, a little bit easier to navigate together. 🧡✨ Takeaway Moment“That's where the systems can come in and get you out of survival mode and into a functional chaos mode.” 🌀 Mentioned in This Episode🧠 Life Simplifiers: Power-Up Planner — Need something to help your brain function through the chaos?

In this episode, we dive deep into the struggle of asking for help, especially for those who feel it equates to admitting weakness. Sharing personal experiences and societal observations, I challenge the deep-rooted mentality that asking for help signifies failure. Growing up watching women handle everything without seeking assistance, I've had my own journey of learning to accept help, especially after being diagnosed with a chronic illness. This episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. It allows others to show their support and helps to ensure that we take care of ourselves amidst our many responsibilities.
