"It is not that we have too little time to do the things we need to do, it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have." - Gary Keller
Do you ever feel like there’s simply not enough time? Between work, parenting, relationships, household responsibilities, and trying to take care of yourself, the days can feel like a blur of obligations.
I know this struggle deeply. For years, I believed that the answer was to schedule everything down to the minute. And while that worked… for a while… it eventually led me to burnout.
Over time, my relationship with time has shifted — from rigid structure to creating white space, from burning out to learning to honor my natural rhythms, and ultimately, to embracing a more cyclical, soulful approach.
In this episode of the Soulful Productivity Podcast, I share the 8 Tenets of Soulful Productivity — a framework I teach in my Matriarch program. We’ll explore how to:
-
Choose being over endless doing
-
Create a structure that flows with your energy and life season
-
Prioritize rest, play, and joy as essential fuel
-
Move from “never enough” into sufficiency and abundance
I’ll also walk you through how these shifts have played out in my own life — from motherhood to solo parenting, and from building my business to resetting routines with the seasons.
