    Morning Task List vs. Morning Routine

    Do you have a morning routine? If your answer is yes or no, tune in because in this episode I'm delving into the crucial role of morning routines and how they shape the trajectory of your entire day. The initial minutes of the morning can set the tone for the hours ahead and that's why I am passionate about helping women discover morning routines that lead to success. Morning routines aren't one-size-fits-all. Instead, it's about understanding the distinction between a morning task list and a genuine morning routine.

    In this episode, I'm covering:
    Why you need to ditch your morning task listDeciding whether you need a morning routine that relaxes and energizes youHow to create a morning routine that serves YOU

    Is The 4-Hour Workweek Realistic?

    Is The 4-Hour Workweek Realistic?

    When I first encountered "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferris it stirred a whirlwind of emotions—anger, skepticism, and a bit of hope. Now, as a mother with a few more years under my belt, I've taken another stab at dissecting this polarizing blueprint for life outside the traditional work schedule. In this episode, I peel back the layers of Ferris’s method, examining its feasibility and relevance for parents like me, who are entrenched in the relentless "balancing" act of family and career. 

    In this episode, I'm covering:
    Reevaluation of "The Four Hour Work Week"Analysis of the book's concepts in relation to parenting and family responsibilitiesReview of the practical tips and "not-to-do list" provided in the book

Saving Time & Shifting Focus

Listening to Megan’s podcast has given me a new way to frame how I look at time and work/life balance. I love how she focuses on finding Harmony in your life vs. Balance because in reality Balance is near impossible to achieve and if you do, it isn’t something that is sustainable long term. Megan’s tools in Managing tasks, organizing and planning are top notch and I highly recommend binging this pod!

So helpful!

We all don’t have enough time, and it’s just getting worse. Megan is doing a great job of demystifying some of the skills and tools we need to manage and build while we grow businesses and get busier and busier. It’s never going to be less work, we need to get better at managing our time and our skills.

FFerenczi ,

Much needed!

As a mom, entrepreneur, wife, house manager, caregiver, friend, sister etc it is easy for me to get trapped in serious overwhelm. This podcast has helped me regain my footing multiple times.
