    Send us a Text Message.

    Happy July, y'all! As we enter the second half of the year, we're diving into my favorite month—a time for celebration and rest. July is my birthday month and my dedicated month of slowing down, turning inward, and practicing being more than doing.

    In today's episode, I’m building on last week's discussion about good intentions. If you haven't already, I encourage you to listen to that episode, as it sets the stage for today's topic: Getting Things Done. Then join me on this episode as I share my approach to making progress on projects, which often involves working intensely for several weeks and then taking time to recuperate. This cycle of focus and rest has been effective for me both as a business owner and as an individual.

    We'll discuss how to set realistic goals, eliminate distractions, and break tasks into manageable portions for yourself and also tackle the internal resistance and self-talk that often hinder our progress. Press play to start building the self-trust you need to get things done and lead a more organized and fulfilling life.


    And join me as I extend an open invitation to you—to be part of the "100 Hours of Listening" initiative. Whether you're a friend, past client, silent listener, or a fellow professional, your voice matters. This isn't a sales pitch or a consultation; it's an opportunity for you to be heard, without cost or obligation, in a non-judgmental space.
