In this episode, I reconnect with productivity strategist Yvonne Heimann—aka AskYvi—who’s not only made a bold geographic shift but is navigating personal and professional freedom with intention and clarity. We explore what it looks like to trust the systems you’ve built, especially when life throws curveballs or invites you into a new chapter.
Yvi shares her journey from San Diego to Vancouver Island, a leap that challenged her structured mindset but reaffirmed the foundation she’d built in her business. We discuss the nuances between planning and preparation, how constraints can become catalysts for creativity, and what it really takes to be nimble without losing direction.
Six Discussion Points
- Why Yvi left San Diego and how that decision sparked unexpected growth
- The difference between planning and preparation—and why that matters
- How building systems in business created personal freedom
- Letting go of perfection and trusting the foundation instead
- The role of journaling and rituals when life becomes unpredictable
- Why boundaries in business are not restrictive—they’re liberating
- How dynamic environments call for static anchors and structure
Three Connection Points
Yvonne’s story is a masterclass in what it means to build a business and life that are both stable and adaptable. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded while embracing change, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration. (Originally released August 2021)
