When work is quiet, you stress and chase.
When work is busy, you crave space to build.

In this episode, I talk about the tension of running a business when it’s never the “right” time to focus on long-term growth. I share what’s been happening behind the scenes while building my directory, navigating quiet months, and then suddenly hitting a manic February.

This is about mindset, structure, and learning to work with the rhythm of business instead of fighting it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I had plans…” , this one’s for you.

I asked my kids what I should talk about on the podcast.

My six-year-old said, “Just talk about something you like.”

My eight-year-old agreed.

Which was funny… because that’s exactly what I’ve always told them when they prepare for school news day or public speaking.

But it got me thinking.

What do I actually like?

Not my job.

Not my roles.

Not where I’m from.

Just… what do I like?

It sounds like a simple question.

But it took me a minute to answer.

One of my traits — and vices — is exploring new tools and tech.Understanding what they do, why they’re useful, and when they’re not.

That curiosity is a big part of how I built my career and the way I work today.

In this episode, I share how I think about using digital tools to support my plans — not to chase productivity, but to reduce mental load.

I touch on a few tools I use every day, including Tango, Notion, and Zapier.

This isn’t about using more tools.It’s about making plans actually happen.
