Description

You know that feeling when you create the perfect plan for your week, and then by Tuesday everything has already fallen apart? Maybe your boss changed priorities, your kid got sick, or three unexpected things landed on your plate. So you tell yourself planning is pointless and just stop doing it altogether. The planning systems you've been taught were never designed for the life you're living.

Most planning advice out there assumes you're working with a perfect week. But you're not living in a perfect world. Your life has turbulence built into it, and that's not your fault. In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional planning fails women with unpredictable lives, and I'm teaching you how to create plans that actually work with your reality instead of pretending next week will magically be different.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • Why traditional planning systems fail women with unpredictable lives
  • The pilot analogy that changes everything about how you view planning
  • How to create an "emergency fund" with your time (not white space)
  • Why abandoning planning means abandoning control of your destination
  • The exact mindset shift that lets you plan for turbulence instead of perfection
