Description

 

If you’re a high achiever wearing multiple hats–leading, teaching, performing, running your own business—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m sharing a mindset shift and practical system that helped one of my clients go from drowning in overwhelm to feeling focused, calm, and in control. We talk about how to zoom out, map your year, and give each role its moment to shine, without sacrificing the rest of your life or burning out.

Because your work (and your life!) moves in seasons, and once you align your calendar with that truth, everything changes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why weekly balance is a myth for high performers

  • How to identify the “crunch times” in each of your roles

  • A 7-step process to map your year and protect your energy

  • What cooking a big meal can teach us about managing our projects

  • How to release the guilt of not doing “everything” all the time

Grab my free Quarterly Retreat Planning Guide to help you map your year and reclaim your calendar.
