Are you tired of those never-ending tasks on your to-do list? You know, the ones that seem to multiply even when you're crossing off items left and right?

While it's easy to resent maintenance work, I want to have a little chat about the importance of finding joy in the process. Let's challenge the notion that mainte...

My year of less challenge continues! A few months ago, I was speaking to a group of women in business about their challenges with productivity. Several women expressed that it was really difficult to set good boundaries with their phones while still showing up on social media (particularly Instagram) for their business. And I get it! As business owners, cookie-cutter productivity advice won't cut it when it comes to building a healthy relationship with technology. A lot of productivity experts w...

I'm all about working smarter, not harder, and the holy grail of working less and earning more is passive income. I mean, what's more efficient that making money in your sleep? But what do most passive income experts not mention? Setting up a passive income stream can be lot of work. Like.. A LOT of work (especially when you're doing it for the first time). And although I'd still recommend putting in the work to create those passive income streams, I also want to share an easy win. There's one p...

From the moment I named this podcast, “The Business Minimalist” I knew that I wanted to create this episode. I mean, if anyone should answer the question, "What's a Business Minimalist", it should be me, right? But defining exactly what a Business Minimalist is (and isn’t) has taken me some time to put into words. Ultimately, becoming a Business Minimalist has more to do with what you believe than the type of business you own. You can be a Business Minimalist as a solopreneur who makes $50k per ...

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 asking myself what I could do LESS of, in order to free up space for the things that I want to focus on. ...

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 you tried it. Finding a time blocking routine that works for you is supposed to be an iterative pro...

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 at the end of the week or month or year? Right?! So today, let’s make a plan for how we’re going to...

That's why I was so excited to invite ShowIt website designer and SEO expert, Sarah Blo...

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.

It’s about learning to live a life marked by freedom and intention while also making progress on your to-do list. By the time you're done listening to this episode, you’ll ha...

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

Is the 40 hour work week REALLY productive for modern women? I've been thinking about this question since I accepted my first full-time roll as a college graduate. I quickly realized that there are many reasons why the 40 hour work week just doesn't make sense anymore.. especially for modern women in business. With over half of women reporting they're burned out , we have to ask, "Is there a better way to work?" I believe there is! By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding o...
