In last week’s episode, we talked about my transformation from being a full-time teacher to a solo-preneur. And not only that, but my shift from being completely stressed 100% of the time to being the calm, present mom that I always wanted to be. As I was reflecting on that episode, I felt that one […]

Whenever I talk to a busy mom about reducing their overwhelm, my #1 tip is to start a bullet journal notebook system. Why? I have been using this system for years and I swear that when I use it consistently, it does wonders to bring down my stress. And not only that, but most importantly, […]

There is no greater feeling than meeting with a new client and hearing how well the MAP Book notebook system has transformed their lives. Seriously, this tool is a game changer. I do a happy dance every time a mom breathes a sigh of relief and whips out their 99¢ composition notebook. It really is […]

I did it – I broke up with PowerSheets. I know, I know. Last year, I swore by the process. Don’t get me wrong, I am really glad that I made the investment and tried the process. But after 365 days of it, I decided to try something new in 2023 to track progress on […]

We are officially one month into 2023. How are your New Year’s resolutions going? Or are they already a thing of the past? For years, I tried New Year’s resolutions. And for years, I was frustrated with the process and my lack of growth. That all changed once I created a system to write a […]

Today’s episode is going to be the perfect place for you to start. If you haven’t already, you may want to take the free personal growth triangle assessment […]

Did you know that only 23% of people are planning to make New Year’s resolutions in 2023?! And how many of those do you think are moms? Probably not many! New Year’s resolutions can be super frustrating, especially for busy moms. With so many things on your plate, you need to invest your time wisely. […]

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but January is my favorite month of the year. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really dislike the bitter cold in New England. But I love, love, love taking the whole month to plan the year ahead.  There’s just something so motivating and inspiring about having a whole […]

I told someone I used to teach with the other day that I am an introvert. Her jaw just about hit the table. “You?!” she squealed. “No, you’re not!” It made me laugh because with all of the personal growth I have done over the years, I know myself better than ever. I can assure […]

Today’s episode is actually the last episode in a little mini-series about planning your month, week and day. Back in Episode 29, we talked about how to plan your month. Then episode 30 was all about planning your week. A lot of busy moms are thinking big picture right now with 2023 on the horizon. […]

I think that one of the main reasons that I became a teacher is because I love to plan. One of my favorite things to do is to take the big picture and break it down into smaller units. It is so satisfying to make tasks more manageable. That is exactly what we’re going to […]

I truly believe that in order to gain traction on your personal growth journey, you need a way to organize yourself. After trying literally […]

I love January. Everything feels like a fresh start, the calendar isn’t overloaded with activities and with snow falling outside, it feels like some good ol’ fashioned reflection can happen. The other thing I love about January is that it is when my husband and I do our annual money meeting.  If you’ve been around […]

Before I began doing an annual review process every year, I always felt like I was working towards trivial goals. I set goals in January because everyone else did, and I never felt like the action I was taking was meaningful or strategic. The goals that I was setting were never really improving or transforming […]

Annual goal-setting is one of my favorite things to do and I look forward to it every year. However, I am always looking for new ways to streamline this process, since some years felt better than others. When I was first designing my customized, 99¢ notebook system that I lovingly refer to as my MAP […]

Imagine this: you’re in the school drop-off line. You look over and see another mom. Her life looks so put together. Her kids probably even have love notes in their lunch box. Have you ever wondered what her secret is? How was she such an organized mom?! And … is that a Cheerio in your […]

If I had to pick a topic for a TedTalk, I would hands down choose personal finance. Why? Honestly, it has changed my life. Before I learned about personal finance, my husband and I lived on a swipe and pray method. It wasn’t great. All that to say, I am more than a little excited […]

Today we are going to talk about my favorite thing in the actual world: how to make a plan. While I am the queen of plans now, it hasn’t always been this way. For years, my plans would be multiple pages in a notebook that had no real prioritization or direction. Honestly, a lot of […]
