    Episode 161 06/25/2026 [PLANNING/SELF-CARE] Making Time for People Who Matter (aka: Ladies Trip!!!!)

    I believe that our relationships, with ourselves and with our loved ones, are the only thing that really matters. And so much of daily life pulls us away from that, which is why it's imperative that you make it a priority through planning. This is why a few of my closest friends and I plan an annual vacation so we can reconnect, because in doing so, we are also helping to feed our own mental wellness. In this episode I'll give you three tips for how you can fit a trip with friends into your life.

    Episode 160 06/11/2026 [PLANNING] Making Invisible Work, Visible for More Effective Goal-Setting

    Many people use a planner or calendar simply as a collection of due dates. They write down when something has to be turned in or completed, but not all of the steps that it will take to accomplish that task. All of those steps are what I define as "invisible work". There is a broader definition of invisible work that I believe shares some components with my definition, however, it's more narrowly used to refer to the experience of moms and caregivers, which is work that is unseen or undervalued. I believe the connection between this definition and mine, is that a lot of people undervalue or take for granted, the many steps it takes to accomplish most tasks. In this episode, I talk about learning how to recognize the invisible work in your life in order to help yourself be more realistic and prepared for any goal you set for yourself. Hopefully this will also help you to recognize and appreciate the many unseen things that happen all around you, either by your coworkers, family members, or people who work for you, so that you can be a more effective and compassionate person to them.

    Episode 158 05/28/2026 [PRODUCITIVTY] How I Went From Overpacking to Packing Light

    I used to be an over-packer, but then a 1-month trip to 3 countries and 12 cities converted me. I didn't want to worry about losing my luggage, nor did I want to pay $1,200 in checked luggage fees, so I decided to finally conquer the skill of "packing light". In the end, it worked out really well especially as we would have missed our return flight if we'd check luggage because our first leg was so late, there would have been no time to collect our bags and go through customs. We had to JOG from our international gate to our domestic gate and arrived with only minutes to spare. In this episode, I talk about my packing light strategies.

    Episode 156 05/14/2026 [SELF-CARE] Making Time for Who Matters, Relationships as Self-Care

    One of the defining traits of humans is that we are social creatures, and yet, how often to you prioritize quality time with people who matter to you? Self-care is defined as doing activities that make you feel good physically, emotionally, mentally, and quality time with people who matter to you is part of that. In this episode I give you a handful of ways to make sure you are making time for people you care about and one final tip about how to make space for this.
