  Ever wondered what happens in a coaching session? In this episode I pull back the curtain and share a live coaching session with my beautiful client, Lisa. We’ll talk menu planning, summer schedule reorganization, and discover how small changes can lead to big results. You’ll learn strategies to simplify meal planning, reduce decision fatigue, and align your tasks with your energy levels.    And I just have to say - my clients are incredible!  I love working with busy, ambitious women who are ready to level up their lives. I’m so proud of all my clients for investing themselves and doing this work with me so they can live the kind of life they have always dreamed of.   This call is a typical conversation I have with clients as we transition into family and personal seasons. Often at the beginning of a new season we notice that certain tasks just stop getting done (like Lisa’s menu planning.) So going forward, note that when it becomes difficult to complete regular tasks, this is always an indicator that we need to shift around our home management schedule!     If you are feeling that you could use some help getting your schedule settled now (or as school starts in a few weeks) click HERE thehappygal.com/clientsession to give coaching a try. Bonus - the first coaching session is half price!   It’s a game changer to have a coach help you see your blind spots!   Suddenly, you know why it’s been a struggle - and you know how to fix it.    Resources & Links: On Time-Management & “Pantry Shelf” concept: Ep. 4: https://thehappygal.com/ep-4-when-you-wonder-how-to-get-it-all-done/  On Personal & Family Seasons concept: Ep. 11: https://thehappygal.com/family-season/ Ep. 36: https://thehappygal.com/36    Schedule a coaching session at thehappygal.com/clientsession - the first session is half price!   Click HERE for full show notes. ----more---- “Are things starting to click for you?
