Perfect-ish: Time Management for Your Beautifully Imperfect Life
If you’re an ambitious, purpose-driven woman who refuses to let burnout or overwhelm hold you back, mastering time management isn’t just a nice idea—it’s essential. You don’t need a flawless system or a perfect routine. What you need is a way to perfect one thing at a time, while focusing on sustainable productivity, balance, and purpose. This is where intentional time management meets ambition, clarity, and self-care. This podcast is your go-to guide for creating a life where you’re at the top of your game without sacrificing your well-being. Every Tuesday, a new episode of Perfect-ish drops. This weekly podcast is a mix of solo episodes and insightful guest conversations, packed with practical strategies, expert advice, and real-life experiences. Whether you’re a mom, a business owner, a creative, or someone navigating corporate life—you deserve a system that works for your unique season, rhythm, and aspirations. Let’s get practical and intentional with time—not just managing it but aligning it with your values, goals, and self-care. Here’s what we’ll explore together 1. Mastering Your Priorities and Time Allocation. Learn how to prioritize your non-negotiable tasks, personal growth, and work commitments so that you’re dedicating time to things that truly matter. When you’re clear on your priorities, your calendar becomes a reflection of what you truly value—not what you feel obligated to do. 2. Setting Time Boundaries That Actually Work. Setting boundaries isn’t just about saying no; it’s about saying yes to what fuels you, energizes you, and aligns with your purpose. Whether it’s family time, self-care rituals, or focused work blocks, we’ll strategize how to protect your time fiercely but gracefully. 3. Effortless Planning and Time Optimization Strategies. Discover how to streamline your weekly planning, meal planning, grocery orders, and professional workflows with strategies that save time, reduce mental clutter, and create clear action steps. You’ll learn time optimization hacks to help you work smarter, not harder. 4. Sustainable Productivity Habits Without Burnout. We’ll discuss habits and routines that build consistent, long-term progress without burning out. It’s about finding a rhythm that grows your business, strengthens your relationships, and nurtures your inner world. This means balancing work, rest, social time, and personal growth with mindful intention. 5. Reclaiming Margin: Time for You, Time for What Matters. True time management isn’t just about productivity; it’s about margin. We’ll explore how to create time for self-care, reflection, creative pursuits, and spontaneity. Let’s build time buffers that prevent overwhelm and allow space for what truly feeds your heart and mind. 6. Perfect-ish, Not Perfect: Embracing Progress Over Perfection. Let’s stop chasing the illusion of perfection and instead focus on progress, small wins, and sustainable change. We’ll talk about creating a “done-it” list instead of a never-ending to-do list, celebrating progress, and showing up consistently—even if it’s not perfectly polished. With expert interviews, actionable insights, real-life strategies, and reflections, we’ll work together to help you create a system that prioritizes clarity, purpose, balance, and time alignment—not just for your business, but for your personal growth, relationships, and well-being. This isn’t about squeezing every minute out of your day—it’s about making every moment count, with intention, purpose, and self-respect. Let’s move beyond managing time and start mastering it with intention, focus, and a commitment to a perfectly imperfect life that’s aligned with your ambitions and your heart. So mark your calendar: every Tuesday, a new episode of Perfect-ish will drop, bringing you practical strategies, insightful conversations, and a supportive community dedicated to helping you stay focused, intentional, and aligned. Ready to reclaim your time, perfect your intention, and live your beautifully imperfect life with purpose? Let’s get to it—together.

Two small words - one big impact on our mindset. If you ever find yourself mulling over the "IF ONLY's" in life, you're not alone. In working with some of my mastermind clients, we have spent some serious effort going deep into this mindset and how it warps our perception of time.
We have realized that dwelling on this only serves to stall our progress. The good news is that there are THREE practical and simple steps to first RECOGNIZE where and how we are thinking "IF ONLY" and then how to overcome this pattern and reclaim our schedules and our emotions.
Listen and then grab a trusted friend to work through these steps together. There is so much freedom and peace waiting for you on the other side.

Have you ever thought about how a spring clean can apply to not just your home but also your CALENDAR? 🗓️
Did you know that a decluttered schedule is just as refreshing as a tidy living space? Can you even imagine what it would look like to reclaim your time? It's possible!
In 2020, we all faced the unexpected task of wiping our calendars clean. And for me, I actually journaled those moments. This experience ultimately led to an unexpected reevaluation how I spend my time. I get real and raw as I read some of those journal entries to you.
So fast forward to today. We don't need a world crisis to take a few minutes and clear it all away and then replace what matters most. Here is your guide to do just that.

Happy Easter Weekend, friends! There is nothing better than supporting someone else in their calling and big adventure! Cherisse Hixson aka my "Little SIS" just launched her very own Podcast: Rhythms that Restore Podcast.
Have you ever felt brought to your knees? Have you ever felt that anxiety and overwhelm are winning? For Cherisse it was right in the middle of that mess and in those pivotal moments that her true path emerged. It was a true a crossroads; it was a call to slow down, to heal, and to rebuild. The journey was raw and real and she's ready to share.
Isn't it true that personal growth often comes from the places we least expect – from the rough edges smoothed out over time, much how sandpaper refines wood. The way Cherisse looks at it NOW: This journey is not about achieving perfection but embracing the process of becoming. AND boundaries. AND stopping to see the beauty in small and sacred moments.
After 2 decades of friendship - I can't think of anything better than to have Cherisse use her voice for you. Prepare to be blessed. And to have a warm blanket of encouragement draped all over you. And to be handed a tiny piece of sandpaper, just in case.

Call it ESP - but chances are if you're a mom -- or a woman -- or a human, you get an automatic ticket to Guilt-Ville. What if we take that ESP and turn it into THREE solutions to be the world's okay-ist mom (or woman or human) 😂 No really. how about being a mom (woman/human) who understands EXPECTATIONS... SYSTEMS.. AND has PERSPECTIVE.
Mommy-ing ain't easy as they say. At any stage. (Although those with three-nagers would beg to differ!) And some of the release of the burden is also just taking a deep breath and knowing that you're not perfect, your kids aren't perfect and that is absolutely a-ok. With all of that, these THREE solutions are designed to help hold your hand and get your chin up and support you in this wild adventure.
And don't stop before the end and a completely new way at looking at the Proverbs 31 woman. It's NOT a checklist. It's a blessing. It's an 'eshet chayil" (yes, you will learn how to pronounce that AND what the Southern translation of that means).

What would YOU say to YOUR younger self? And when is the last time you were able to spend 30 minutes with your mom or another mentor and just sit back and listen to their wisdom and mic drops? What an honor to have our BIGGEST FAN behind the mic for this eye-opening episode. Did you guess who that might be?
MY MOM, Kate DeBlander, shares what she's grateful for, what she would do differently, and how perspective has shifted things like perfectionism and comparison. The simple truths are usually the most overlooked and it's time to embrace what those who go before us can teach us.
Plus -- my mama really knows how to tell a story. From hippie to top of her game as an entrepreneur and everything in between, you're going to fall in love with who she is and the legacy she is leaving in so many. Including YOU, now.
Thanks mom.
