Transcribe →Finding BIG Time with Laura Vanderkam
4w ago00:36:46Tap to summarizeWhat if you actually have MORE time than you think… and you’re just not seeing it yet? Today I sit down with time management expert Laura Vanderkam to completely rethink the way we view our schedules, our routines, and those elusive “free hours.” If you’ve ever felt like there’s just not enough time in your day, this conversation might surprise you in the best way. We talk about shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of time abundance (yes, really), and why something as simple as tracking your time for a week can completely change the story you’re telling yourself. I even share my own experience trying it, and the unexpected realization that I actually had more margin than I thought. Laura also introduces the idea of “golden hours” (those evening pockets of time we tend to waste), how to use them more intentionally without overcomplicating your life, and why leaving a little white space in your schedule might be the key to more joy, not less productivity. From planning your week on Fridays (and why it makes your weekends feel like mini vacations) to preparing for the “what ifs” so your life doesn’t fall apart when things go sideways, this episode is packed with simple, doable mindset shifts that can make your days feel lighter and more aligned with what actually matters. If you’re craving a little more breathing room in your life, this one is going to feel like a deep exhale.

Transcribe →How To Feed Your Family in a Busy Season (Tiny Tweaks to Try)
Apr 2100:35:59Tap to summarizeIf this season of life feels full and dinnertime is starting to feel like one more thing on your plate… this episode is for you. Last week we talked about planning for a busy season, this week we’re tackling how to actually feed your family in the middle of it. Because somehow, they still expect dinner every night, right? 😉 I’m sharing tiny tweaks that have made meals so much easier in our home lately. And before we dive in, here’s your reminder: not every meal has to be a home run. In busy seasons, sometimes we’re aiming for base hits, and that is more than enough. We’re talking simple meal frameworks, easy go-to sides, grab-and-go snack systems, and why having a solid plan B meal might just save your sanity. Plus, a few mindset shifts that will help you release the pressure to make dinner look a certain way. If you’ve been staring into your fridge at 5pm wondering what to make… this one’s going to help you breathe a little easier. It doesn’t have to be fancy to feed your family, and you’re doing a better job than you think. 💛 Mentioned in This Episode: 👉www.AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code ‘PURPOSEFUL’ to get UP TO $300 off today! 👉FREE Meal Rotation Printable 👉FREE Meal Ideas to Go Printable 👉If you need a little extra help, check out my Simple Purposeful Living Meal Planner, and use code ‘PODCAST’ for 10% off your order! 🌟We’re here to help you live a life filled with intention and joy.

Transcribe →How to Survive a Busy Season without Burning Out (Tiny Tweaks That Help)
Apr 1400:33:10Tap to summarizeIf life feels extra full right now, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m talking about that “1.5 speed” season so many of us are in… where the calendar is packed with good things, but it still feels like a lot. And here’s the truth we all need to hear: you can love your life and feel stretched by it at the same time. Instead of overhauling everything, I’m sharing the tiny tweaks that are helping me get through this busy season without burnout. Think simple shifts like getting the mental load out of your head, planning your week before it starts, saying no when your plate is full, leaning on carpool, and giving yourself permission to simplify (yes, frozen pizza counts). These are small, practical changes that help you stay grounded and present—even when life feels a little chaotic. If you’ve been carrying all the things lately, this episode is your gentle reminder: you don’t need to do more… just tweak what’s already there Mentioned in This Episode: 👉Grab My Book: https://amzn.to/4vebJOc 👉For a little help organizing, check out my Weekly Plan Notepad, and use code ‘PODCAST’ for 10% off your order! 🌟We’re here to help you live a life filled with intention and joy.

Transcribe →Sports and Kids with Psychologist with Megan Cannon
Apr 700:46:23Tap to summarizeIf youth sports have ever made you feel like you’re constantly trying to “keep up,” this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Today, I’m joined by Megan Cannon, a former D1 athlete turned counselor who now helps athletes and families navigate the mental side of sports. And wow… this one hit home. Because let’s be honest, youth sports have changed. It’s more intense, more time-consuming, and often way less fun than it used to be. We talk about burnout (yes, even in young kids), the pressure to specialize early, and how easy it is for both kids and parents to tie their identity to a sport. Megan shares such a powerful reminder: our role isn’t to coach from the sidelines, it’s to be their safe place. Their cheerleader. We also get into how to handle tough moments like when your child wants to quit, or doesn’t make the team, and why it’s okay to let them feel disappointed instead of rushing in to fix it. And maybe my favorite takeaway? This season is short. The games, the practices, the car rides… it won’t last forever. So how can we actually enjoy it while we’re in it? If you’re navigating youth sports right now, this episode will help you take a step back, refocus on what really matters, and support your kids in a way that builds both confidence and connection.

Transcribe →Positive Parenting Solutions with Amy McCready
Mar 2400:42:52Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your kids and asking yourself how you got here, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. I’m joined by parenting expert Amy McCready, a self-described “recovering yeller,” who shares simple, practical ways to reduce power struggles and bring more calm into your home. We talk about how our own parenting style can unintentionally invite behaviors like backtalk and resistance, and how small shifts, like using routines or changing how we respond, can make a big difference. From bedtime battles to sibling squabbles, Amy offers easy, tiny tweaks that help you step out of constant correcting and into more connection. One of the biggest takeaways? You don’t have to do more, you just have to do things a little differently. Even something as simple as 10 minutes of one-on-one time with your child can lead to more cooperation, fewer meltdowns, and a stronger relationship. If you’re craving calmer days, less yelling, and more connection, this episode is full of encouragement and tools you can start using today.
