🎙Hey friends! Welcome to the Time for Living podcast, where we chat about how to be more intentional with our precious time so we can pursue our biggest goals and dreams while still having time to live our one truly amazing life. Do these common struggles resonate with you? Do you have amazing goals and aspirations but can’t find the time to make progress on what matters most? Are you overwhelmed with responsibilities, struggling to prioritize them, and feeling like nothing important gets done? Are you dreaming of a day when ’busy’ isn’t your default mode and you achieve everything you set out to accomplish? Do you feel the squeeze between work demands, family responsibilities, and personal aspirations? Are you juggling a million things and wondering when ’me time’ became a luxury? I’ve been there too – feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, with constant low energy, wishing for more hours in the day, and feeling like life was passing me by. Then, I discovered the magic of being intentional with my most important resource: time. By creating systems that aligned my time with my priorities and values, I was able to carve out space for what truly mattered. The weight lifted off my shoulders, and this holistic approach rippled into every area of my life.

    #72: Why More Content Slows Progress - For Small Business Owners Stuck in Content Overload During Business Growth

    What if the thing keeping your revenue stuck isn't that you're not visible enough — but that you're too visible in all the wrong places? You're showing up on Instagram. Publishing to LinkedIn. Sending weekly emails. Recording stories. And somehow, despite all that effort, your business still feels like it's treading water. This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are exhausted from "staying consistent" across multiple platforms while watching their revenue stay frustratingly flat. If you've ever wondered why more content isn't translating into more clients or more sales — or if you're starting to resent the pressure to show up everywhere — this conversation will change how you think about content forever. By the end of this episode, you'll discover: The exact moment when content shifts from momentum-builder to time-drain (and the three warning signs that you've already crossed that line in your business) Why "held decisions" are the invisible business killer no one talks about — and how every platform you're maintaining is creating a compounding decision debt that's stealing your capacity for revenue-generating work The counterintuitive reason businesses that post less often make more money (hint: it's not about posting frequency, it's about conversion architecture) How to identify your true revenue platform in under 5 minutes using the "last 10 clients" test — not the platform with the most followers, but the one where money actually exchanges hands The exact 7-day content elimination experiment that redirects scattered energy into focused revenue generation (one client used this and booked 3 new discovery calls in the first week) Why engagement metrics are designed to make you feel productive while keeping you broke — and the one metric that actually predicts revenue growth Ready to stop spinning your wheels? Take the Hidden Time Finder at timeforliving.co/timefinder and see exactly where your time is leaking into maintenance work instead of revenue generation. You'll get to find out how to eliminate your biggest time drains and how to redirect that energy starting today.

    #71: The Real Reason Your Business Feels Harder Than It Should (And Why Effort Stops Working at $3K–$10K months)

    What if the thing slowing your revenue isn't lack of effort—it's lack of structure around the decisions that actually generate income? Between $3K and $10K months, something shifts. The hustle that got you here stops working the same way. You're busy, responsive, showing up—but revenue feels inconsistent. A proposal you meant to send never goes out. A follow-up slips through. An offer sits half-finished in a Google Doc. Nothing feels broken, but nothing's quite working either. This episode breaks down what's really happening: revenue leaks. Not because you're careless, but because when mental load is high and structure is thin, the small decisions that directly impact income—follow-ups, offer mentions, client processes—fall through the cracks. And at this revenue stage, those aren't just annoying gaps. They're expensive ones. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the skills that built your business to $3K–$10K months are no longer sufficient to scale beyond that ceiling The specific category of "revenue decisions" that drain energy and cost money when left uncontained How revenue leaks actually form at the edges of attention (not effort) and why you don't notice them happening in real time What the "manual revenue trap" is and why your capacity determines your income when everything lives in your head Why working harder won't solve inconsistent revenue—and what kind of containment actually creates predictability The one awareness practice that helps you spot where effort exists but returns feel fuzzy (the first step toward structural change) Ready to take action?

You're just carrying more than one person can hold without the right structure—and that structure is absolutely within reach.

    #70: Why Your Business Feels Heavy and How to Reduce Decision Overload

If you've built systems, set boundaries, and done everything "right" — and it still feels like you're carrying something heavy — this episode is for you. Because what's weighing you down isn't your schedule. It's the invisible pile of micro-decisions that never stop landing on you. In this episode, you'll discover: - Why protecting your time isn't enough to actually feel lighter in your business - How invisible micro-decisions quietly drain your capacity — even on your most "organized" days - The difference between time management and decision containment, and why that distinction changes everything - Why decision overload is directly connected to stalled revenue — not just burnout - How the Home Hub and Business Hub systems create the foundation that makes decision containment possible - A simple, low-pressure noticing exercise you can start with today — no overhauling required Ready to take action?

    #68: I Remember the Turning Point (And Why You Need These Systems)

    One year ago, I had 90 minutes to work on my business. By the time I figured out what to do, I had 40 minutes left—and I wasted most of that feeling scattered and guilty. Sound familiar? This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are finding pockets of time but don't know what to DO with them. You're working hard, but you're not working smart. And that's not a discipline problem—it's a system problem.

    #67: The Two Systems That Changed My Business and Life (And Why You Need Them)

    You've found the time. You've carved out those precious work hours. So why does it still feel like you're constantly scrambling—either forgetting what's happening at home or unable to focus on your business? Here's the truth: finding time isn't the problem. It's what you do with that time once you find it. If you're a mom entrepreneur building a business in fragmented pockets of time, you need more than a planner or a productivity hack. You need two complete systems that work together—one for your home, one for your business. Because you can't build a sustainable business on top of home chaos, and you can't just organize your home and expect your business to grow. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your brain won't let you focus on business growth when there's a running mental list of 47 home tasks, and how the Home Hub System solves this by capturing your entire mental load in one trusted place How the Business Hub System eliminates the "what should I work on today?" spiral and gives you a clear roadmap for growing your business in stolen moments The exact way these two systems create integration (not balance) so your home runs smoothly AND your business moves forward consistently Real examples from Lucy's life—from chaotic Tuesday mornings to hockey nights—showing what changes when you have systems designed for mom entrepreneurs who work in fragments Why piecing together random tips from different sources keeps you stuck, and what to do instead to build systems that actually work for YOUR life Ready to take action? Join the live Home Hub + Business Hub System Workshop on January 27th at timeforliving.com/workshop. You'll build both systems for your exact life in 60 minutes—with templates, step-by-step setup, and troubleshooting for your specific situation. Connect with me: 🌐 Website: timeforliving.co 📸 Instagram: @timeforlivingco 📧 Email: hello@timeforliving.co You don't need more time or more willpower—you need systems that organize the time you already have.

    #66: Why Your One Habit Needs a System

    You protected your one habit on Day 1. You showed up. You did the thing. So why does it feel like you're still drowning? Here's what nobody tells you about building habits as a mom entrepreneur: protecting 15 minutes doesn't solve the problem if the other 23 hours and 45 minutes are complete chaos. This episode is for mom entrepreneurs who are tired of starting over every Monday, wondering why their habits keep falling apart when real life shows up. If you've been protecting your one anchor habit but still feel scattered, overwhelmed, and like nothing's actually moving forward—this is the missing piece you need. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your Day 1 matters more than you think (whether it went perfectly or was a complete disaster) The real reason isolated habits collapse during December chaos, sick kids, and business launches—and it's not about your discipline What the "23 hours and 45 minutes problem" reveals about sustainable habit-building for mom entrepreneurs The two systems every habit needs to survive long-term: a Home Hub (infrastructure for your life) and a Business Engine (strategic clarity for your business) How to identify exactly where you need systems by tracking what's actually breaking in your day The specific homework that will set you up for the complete system-building workshop coming later this month Ready to take action? Grab the Hidden Time Finder at timeforliving.com/hiddentimefinder to discover where your time is actually going—then listen to find out what to DO with that time once you find it.

    #65: Why I Don't Start My Business Goals on January 1st (And Why You Shouldn't Either)

    Everywhere you look, people are talking about starting strong on January 1st. But here's what I've discovered after years of building my business as a mom: the most successful mom entrepreneurs I know don't start on January 1st. They start strategically when routine returns—and that changes everything. If you're a mom entrepreneur who's been feeling guilty about not having your January 1st plan ready, or anxious that you're already behind before the year even starts, this episode is your permission slip. Because when you're building a business around family life, January 1st isn't your fresh start—it's still precious family time. And trying to force business momentum when your kids are home and routine hasn't returned? That's not strategy. That's exhaustion. In this episode, you'll discover: Why starting on January 1st when your kids are still home actually sets you up to feel behind instead of building real momentum The strategic reason successful mom entrepreneurs wait until January 5th (when routine returns) to start their business habits How to enjoy the last days of the holidays guilt-free without feeling like you're failing at your business goals The one decision you need to make between now and January 5th that will set up your entire first quarter Why choosing one 15-minute habit on January 5th is more powerful than ten goals on January 1st How to shift from "I'm already behind" to "I'm being strategic" so you start from a place of power, not deficit Ready to take action? Between now and January 5th, think about your one thing—the one habit you'll start when routine returns. And if you need help finding where you even have 15 minutes in your schedule, grab my free Hidden Time Finder at timeforliving.com/hiddentimefinder. It'll help you identify exactly where you have pockets of time you didn't even realize were there.
