• Are You Falling Into These 3 Long-Term Planning Traps?

• When Getting Things Done Still Leaves You Drained with Heather Chauvin

  You're crushing your to-do list, checking off task after task, but by 3 PM you feel like you've been hit by a truck. Sound familiar? That was my guest Heather Chauvin's reality until a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2013 changed everything.As a mom of three boys and a new business owner, Heather was in the thick of juggling it all. She was getting things done, hitting deadlines, and managing everything on her plate. But she was also completely burned out, resentful, and running on fumes with an internal ache that this wasn't sustainable. Her cancer diagnosis became an unexpected teacher, showing her that there's a whole other layer to how we manage our time and energy.Today, Heather shares what she discovered about energetic time management and why asking "How do I want to feel?" might be more powerful than asking "What do I need to do?" In This Episode, We Cover:Why energy management works alongside your planning systemHow to spot invisible energy drains in your daily lifeWhy women automatically shrink themselves (and how to stop)The simple question that changes how you make decisionsWhat alignment actually feels like in real lifeHow to stop doing emotional work for other peopleConnect with Heather:Website: heatherchauvin.comEmotionally Uncomfortable Podcast: heatherchauvin.com/podcastInstagram: instagram.com/heatherchauvin_JOIN THE PLAN-A-PALOOZA ANNUAL PLANNING WORKSHOP The #1 Planning Event for Women, That Works for REAL Life!Live October 15 & 16, 2025Business Owners can add Oct 17Create Your Roadmap for 2026...

• How to Survive Back to School Without Losing Your Mind

  Back to school season hits every August and September like a freight train. New schedules, earlier wake-ups, lunch packing, school supplies... suddenly you're drowning in chaos before you've even figured out what works.Most parents take one of two approaches: either wing it completely or try to map out every detail before school starts. Both are recipes for disaster. There's a better way that doesn't involve losing your sanity or creating impossible expectations.In this episode, I'm sharing the two specific strategies I use every single back to school season (and why the order matters). These aren't complicated systems or overwhelming checklists.

• Preparing for Events and Travel with Highly Sensitive Kids with Rachel Bailey

  If you're a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know that planning a simple trip to the park can feel like orchestrating a military operation. What looks like a fun family outing can quickly turn into hours of repeated questions, worst-case scenario planning, and emotional meltdowns before you even leave the house.In this episode, parenting expert Rachel Bailey joins me to share why traditional planning approaches often backfire with sensitive kids and what actually works instead. Rachel explains how sensitive children's brains are wired to assume threats in unpredictable situations, which is why your child might ask "What if I break my arm?" when you mention going somewhere new for the first time. You'll discover practical strategies for creating the structure and predictability these kids crave without letting trip planning take over your entire life.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why sensitive kids assume the worst when facing unpredictable situationsHow to identify your child's specific triggers from past experiencesCreating "when/then" plans that help kids manage discomfort in new situationsThe three essential elements every trip needsHow to handle the 176th repetition of the same question without losing your mindPlanning transitions both TO and FROM events and travelDeciding which experiences are worth the extra effort and which to skipConnect with Rachel:www.rachel-bailey.comwww.youtube.com/c/rachelbaileywww.rachel-bailey.com/podcastwww.facebook.com/groups/RachelBaileyinstagram.com/rachelbaileyparentingJOIN THE PLAN-A-PALOOZA ANNUAL PLANNING WORKSHOP The #1 Planning Event for Women, That Works for REAL Life!Live October 15 & 16, 2025Business Owners can add Oct 17Create Your Roadmap for 2026...
