Description:

What if staying aligned with your goals didn't require doing more—but doing less on purpose?


In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly how I structure my days, weeks, and months so my time, energy, and money are all pulling in the same direction. I start with the nervous system piece—because if I'm wired for busyness, I'll sabotage white space—then share the practical scaffolding that keeps me focused on what truly moves the needle.


You'll discover:

  • The "crowd it out" method — Put the most important things in first, then let everything else fill around them
  • My non-negotiable guardrails — No Monday appointments, hard stop after 4 p.m., a real lunch, and no more than 2–3 Zooms per day
  • Energy-saving batching strategies — Like stacking podcast recordings to eliminate context switching and preserve mental bandwidth
  • The 80/20 rule in practice — Plus the 80/20 of that 20% for laser focus on what truly matters
  • Boundary mastery — Why my default answer is "no" unless a request clearly serves my priorities
  • Life-force energy as a success KPI — Tracking not just metrics, but how alive and energized you feel
  • Seasonal business rhythms — Using my "Upward Cycle of Success" (emergence, visibility, culmination, fertile void) to build in natural ebb and flow instead of constant grind
  • Annual planning that honors your whole life — Our family-first approach where personal "boulders" get calendar priority before business goals

If you're ready to create results with more ease and integrity, this episode is your step-by-step blueprint.
