Brain on Strike Annie Gendron

In this week's episode, I share why I stopped recording the podcast. And why it's taken me so long to get back to it.
My peri brain decided to go with overthinking and overcomplicating for a while and one of the impact was the podcast.
I share with you the one word that is helping me get back to what's important.
And that got me recording again!

What does Geese, Freedom and Focus have in common?
Well, one important question a couple of years back got me thinking about what freedom looks like to me and the only image that was coming up was a flock of geese.

But that image, eventually, made me face the fact that with structure comes freedom. That when I have too much freedom I actually don't use it in the best possible way.

So, I came up with a routine that helps me do just that, and that's what I am sharing on today's episode as well as some tools that I use to help myself show up in the best possible way.

You mission if you choose to accept it is to find a new routine (or a new task to add to your routine) to help you focus during the day and keep the alignment to your business goals. Let me know what you come up with in this post.

In the last few weeks, I've been having conversations with fellow small business owners, mainly coaches, strategists and service providers. And I am seeing some patterns emerge of similar experiences we share of going through peri-menopause and running a business.
In this episode, I share these patterns, as well as impacts peri-menopause has been having on how I show up in my business. I also review some of the ways I am using to change and adapt to being a business owner.

You mission if you choose to accept it is to find one (or more) positive impacts that peri-menopause is having on how you are showing up in your business. Let me know what you come up with in this post.

Christmas is less than 6 weeks away, that was my big a-ha moment last week.
I don't usually think about Christmas until December 1st (and that's only because I have a 7yo son) but this year is different because my brain is on strike.

And I know that if I don't start thinking about it, and obviously make things happen in advance it will only raise my level of overwhelm and anxiety.

Last year, it was a pretty relaxed Holiday season because of COVID. We mostly stayed here and just chilled. But this year, we want a do-over, and that means extra diner, extra party, extra everything. And I am pretty sure that my brain might not like that.

It's definitely not the time for me to lose control and become the Grinch. You know the unpleasant person in the room, with a wicked temper, a bad attitude and some anger management problem!

Nope, I want stay sane and I want to enjoy all of it!!!

So, in this episode I share my whole plan for making this holiday season the best it can be. And that starts right now... yep 6 weeks before.

But I promised... there won't be any decoration or xmas music until December 1st in our house. Pinky Swear!
