Question: Ever find that when you’ve got a big, looming deadline, you’re doing everything else BUT the thing that’s due? “Oh, look at those dishes over there! Man, I should clean out this junk drawer. Hmm, wonder what’s happening over on Instagram?” Sound familiar?

My all-star special guest today is Sam Bennett and she’s simplifying how to stop procrastinating and get it done. When your to-do list is a mile long and the things that you really, really want to do in work and life seem further and further away from reality, the secret might be found in 15-minutes a day. No really!

Here’s how.

• If you’re feeling any sort of frustration or overwhelm that is causing the procrastination, she recommends “The 15-Minute Method.” What it is and how it works.

• What the typical excuses are that we tell ourselves that keep us from getting stuff done and how to squash them.

• How The 15-Minute Method helps those with ADHD, neurospicy and highly creative people, especially when dealing with perfectionism.

• How to tap into the “Alchemy of Effort” and why it helps us create momentum.

• …and ultimately, for those with long COVID or chronic fatigue, how this advice can particularly help you to get things done.

It’s time to #DoTheThing!

The seasons are changing and it’s time to (ever so slowly) re-emerge again after hibernation! Thank goodness. If you’ve felt like you’ve gone in a cave, either figuratively or creatively these last few months, this episode is especially for you.

My all-star special guest today is Carrie Contey, Ph.D. and she’s simplifying how to re-emerge after hibernation with grace. If you’ve been hit with a big, massive life change recently or maybe you’re in a creative funk and not sure how to snap out of it, Carrie shares her very best secrets that have helped her and her clients align, allow, and appreciate... so you can step into the next chapter of your life with confidence and ease.

Here’s how.

• How to handle the uncertainties of life changes, big and small and what she learned along the way through a horrific storm, caring for her aging parents, plus working & traveling as a nomad

• What it means to feel in “deep alignment with yourself” and how to do this in simple, simple ways

• What the four pillars are when navigating change:

• • Clarify

  • Steady

  • Appreciate

  • Tend

• Why it’s important to clarify how you want to feel in life and what role writing and journaling can play in your re-emergence process

• What the “7-year Project” is that Carrie is currently creating… so exciting!

Carrie is one of my favorite people on the planet, hands down. She was on the podcast previously, simplifying what conscious parenting is all about and that one is still one of our top five most downloaded episodes to date!

I hope you’ll find today’s conversation illuminating for your path of re-emergence ahead.

It’s time to #DoTheThing!
