Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity... ·

2026/03/30

Text your thoughts and questions! We’ve been conditioned to think that more time equals more output. This might make sense on the surface, but in reality, this burnout-inducing approach degrades your performance and increases your stress rather than improving your results. This week, episode 307 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about why work sprints are better than marathons! In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing a work sprint method that allows you to stop worki...

Planning a Day That Works for You

Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity... ·

2026/03/23

Text your thoughts and questions! Traditional planning advice doesn’t take real life into consideration. It assumes we have endless energy, zero interruptions, and the motivation to do it all. When we follow this advice, the act of planning itself becomes a source of stress rather than a solution, making it feel like we’re up against a mountain we can't climb. That’s why this week, on episode 306 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m tossing aside the “hustle harder” productivity idea and in...

Journaling to Help You Move Forward

Positively Living®: Shame-Free Productivity... ·

2026/03/09

Text your thoughts and questions! Journaling is often framed as a tool for reflection, emotional processing, or deep introspection. And while these approaches can be incredibly valuable, they’re not the only way that journaling can support you. Journaling can also function as a decision-making and clarity tool, especially when your brain feels noisy, conflicted, or mentally stuck. This week, episode 304 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to use journaling to help you move forward!...

2026/03/02

Text your thoughts and questions! If you’re an overthinker and overanalyzer like me, you already know how difficult taking action can be. You also know the frustrating feeling of not taking action because you simply cannot decide what to do. But here’s the twist. Sometimes you have to pull an Uno Reverse card on your brain because sometimes, it’s the action itself that brings the clarity you were trying to find. This week, episode 303 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how action give...

Why Self-Compassion Matters More Than You Think

2026/02/16

Text your thoughts and questions! So many of us are quick to say things like, “I need to be kinder to myself,” and I think we truly believe that. But the minute we fail to get something done, lose track of time, or struggle, our inner voice turns harsh. For us high achievers, especially, this is an unfortunate natural reaction. The problem is that we don’t realize how much that critical inner voice is costing us. This week, episode 301 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about why self-compa...

So if you feel like you’re constantly fighting against your own brain, forcing yourself to use productivity systems that just don’t stick, and feeling overwhelmed in trying to be disciplined, you’ve likely been trying to operate in systems that weren’t designed for your unique wiring.

Text your thoughts and questions! While every year asks so much of us, it seems 2025 has asked us to stretch and adapt more than usual. We’ve had to keep showing up even when things felt uncertain and just downright exhausting. That’s why throughout the year, I’ve encouraged you to rethink what productivity looks like.

Simple Filters to Help You Make Decisions

2025/12/22

Text your thoughts and questions! One of the most common things I hear from clients and listeners isn’t “I don’t know what to do,” it’s “I can’t decide what to do.” We know what’s on our overwhelming task list, but prioritizing, selecting, and making sure we’re doing the right thing at the right time is exhausting. Decision fatigue is real and can lead to burnout faster than you realize. This week, on episode 293 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing five simple filters to help you m...

And all of that’s on top of our already busy schedules and the added layer of the holidays.
