    “Busy” Is Not a Flex—Here’s What Is

    Episode Description This week on The Priority Report, Scotti calls out the “busy” epidemic—why we use it, what it really means, and how it’s holding us back from living and connecting with intention. From personal accountability to timeboxing your calendar, this episode is your permission slip to stop glorifying busyness and start prioritizing what (and who) actually matters. Get ready for practical tips, a little tough love, and a reminder that your profession will never love you back—but your people will. ✨ Ready to break the busy cycle? Tune in, reflect, and reclaim your time for what counts. Key Takeaways “Busy” Is a Filler, Not a ValueUsing “busy” as an excuse often masks a lack of intention or unclear priorities. It can send the wrong message—to ourselves and others—about what truly matters.Timeboxing Creates Certainty and Reduces AnxietyStructuring your calendar with dedicated blocks for work, routines, and relationships transforms chaos into clarity. When everything has its place, there’s less stress and more space for what you love.Relationships Need Scheduled InvestmentConnection isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list. It’s a priority that deserves protected time, just like your work. Small, consistent investments in relationships compound over time.Accountability Starts With YouCoaches, friends, and partners can support you—but true accountability is self-driven. Take ownership of your habits, your time, and your choices.Balance Across All Facets of LifeDon’t let professional busyness crowd out personal, family, or community priorities. A healthy, fulfilling life means allocating time to all parts of your identity.📹 WATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBE Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

  2. Are You Actually Behind? Or Is Your Self-Worth Just Tied to Your Productivity?

    Are You Actually Behind? Or Is Your Self-Worth Just Tied to Your Productivity?

    Episode Description Ever come back from vacation (or just a weekend) feeling like you're already behind before you even start? This episode of The Priority Report dives deep into that all-too-familiar sense of being late to your own life—where it comes from, why it happens, and, most importantly, how to break the cycle. Scotti shares personal stories, real client conversations, and practical strategies to help you shift from overwhelmed and out of sync to intentional and in control—no matter how busy life gets. Plus, get a behind-the-scenes look at Scotti’s own routines, recent wins, and the importance of building sustainable habits (not just chasing quick fixes). If you’re ready to ditch the anxiety spiral and step into a more empowered, self-managed life, it's time to tune in ✨ Key Takeaways Audit Your Routines - Feeling behind often starts with your habits and routines. Take an honest look at what you’re doing before and after work (or big breaks) to see what’s setting you up for stress—or success.Reverse Engineer Your Day - Start with your evening routine to set yourself up for a smoother morning. Simple prep—like laying out clothes or planning meals—can eliminate decision fatigue and help you begin each day on your terms.Keep It Simple (Seriously!) - Overcomplicating routines is a recipe for overwhelm. Focus on one small, sustainable change at a time—like putting dishes straight into the dishwasher after meals—and build from there.Aim for Consistency, Not Perfection - The 80/20 rule is your friend: strive to be consistent most of the time, but allow for flexibility when life gets unpredictable. It’s about building habits that can weather vacations, holidays, and curveballs.Celebrate Progress & Practice Radical Responsibility - Look for evidence of your own growth—no matter how small. Building self-trust and personal accountability is the key to feeling empowered and in control, rather than stuck in people-pleasing or productivity FOMO. 📹 WATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBE Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

  3. From Stuck to Unstoppable: Specify Your Priorities and Break Old Patterns

    From Stuck to Unstoppable: Specify Your Priorities and Break Old Patterns

    Episode Description In this milestone 11th episode, Scotti celebrates the journey so far and dives deep into what it really takes to become the “next level” version of yourself. Drawing on personal experience, recent breakthroughs from a Lionsgate Portal workshop, and the pragmatic structure of The Empowerment Method™, Scotti unpacks the tension between discipline and freedom, masculine and feminine energies, and why self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s the foundation for everything you want to achieve. This episode is an honest exploration of why our biggest dreams often stall out, how subconscious beliefs can sabotage our progress, and the actionable steps you can take to align your daily habits with your future vision. Whether you’re craving a life overhaul or just want to feel better every day, Scotti’s blend of practical wisdom and empowering encouragement will help you tune into your intuition, step into discomfort, and finally start living as the person you know you’re meant to be. 5 Key Takeaways Your Daily Priorities Shape Your Future: Where and how you spend your time is the clearest indicator of what you value—and if your actions don’t align with your dreams, it’s time for a reset.Balance Structure with Flexibility: Discipline and routines (masculine energy) create the freedom and space for intuition, rest, and growth (feminine energy). You need both to thrive.Self-Care Is Non-Negotiable: Neglecting your own well-being for business or relationships will ultimately slow your progress everywhere else. Feeling better—physically, mentally, and spiritually—unlocks your highest potential.Challenge Your Self-Limiting Beliefs: The stories you tell yourself about what you “can’t” have or “don’t deserve” are often subconscious and untrue. Naming and questioning these beliefs is the first step to real change.Discomfort Is the Doorway to Growth: Familiar misery is easy, but stepping into the discomfort of change is the only way to reach your next level. You have to act big to live big—your future self is counting on you.📹 WATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBE Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

  4. The Reciprocity Gap: Why Real Relationships Require Both Giving and Receiving

    The Reciprocity Gap: Why Real Relationships Require Both Giving and Receiving

    In this heartfelt episode of The Priority Report, Scotti gets personal about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes disappointing dynamics of human connection. From a week derailed by a skunk encounter (thanks, pupper!) to the sting of a promising first date that fizzled, Scotti explores what it really means to show up for others—and to let others show up for you. With stories of grief, resilience, and honest reflection, she unpacks why relationships are always a two-way street, and how both giving and receiving are essential to building a meaningful life. Whether you’re navigating new connections, feeling the ache of loneliness, or simply wanting to be a better friend or partner, this episode will challenge you to re-examine how you invest in others—and how you allow them to invest in you. Because, as Scotti reminds us, the world works best when we step in and step up for each other. 5 Key Takeaways or Insights Relationships Are a Two-Way Street: True connection requires both giving and receiving—one without the other leads to imbalance and missed opportunities for growth.Allowing Others to Help Is a Gift: Letting people show up for you isn’t just about your own needs—it’s healing and meaningful for the giver, too.Rejection Isn’t Always About You: Sometimes, people walk away from connection out of fear or circumstance, not because of your worth. Don’t take every “no” personally.Shared Adversity Builds Real Bonds: The strongest relationships are forged not in easy times, but by weathering storms together—adversity is where roots grow.Show Up for Yourself, Others, and Community: Meaningful life is built by investing in all areas—personal, professional, family, and community—and by letting those same circles support you in return.📹 WATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBE Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

Celebrate the little wins!Clarity Comes from Knowing What You Value: When facing big decisions (like juggling jobs or family time), start by identifying your “North Star”—the value or priority that matters most.

    Strengths, Strategy, but Misalignment: What To Do When Your Career Isn’t Built for You

    Episode Description In this candid episode of The Priority Report, Scotti unpacks a frustrating (and surprisingly enlightening) business experience to reveal how our strengths, communication styles, and strategic thinking shape our work—and our fulfillment. From the perils of misaligned deliverables to the deeper patterns that keep us stuck in roles that don’t fit, Scotti explores why knowing (and honoring) your true strengths is non-negotiable if you want a career—and life—that actually lights you up. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on delegation, self-awareness, and the “soft skills” that really matter. Whether you’re a fellow strategist stuck in an ops role, a business owner wrangling creative projects, or just someone who wants to feel seen for what you do best, this episode is your invitation to get radically honest about what you bring to the table—and how to find (or build) your best-fit path forward. 3–5 Key Takeaways or Insights Expectation Violations Are Teachable Moments: When someone misses the mark, don’t just get frustrated—get curious. Ask about their process and learn how to communicate better next time.You Can Build a Whole Career Out of Alignment: It’s possible (and common) to spend years in roles that don’t leverage your real strengths. The result? Burnout, bitterness, and feeling unseen.Soft Skills Are Strategic Superpowers: Skills like strategic thinking, empathy, and pattern recognition aren’t “nice to have”—they’re essential, and you deserve to use them.Self-Knowledge = Secret Sauce: The closer you get to the intersection of your values, strengths, and passions, the more fulfilled—and effective—you’ll be.Don’t Settle for Scarcity: Don’t take a job (or keep one) just to “be employed.” Seek out roles and environments that value what you truly do best.📹 WATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBE Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!
