Not Dead Yet: Time Management for Busy Lives with Georgie Bryant

In today’s episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy is joined by special guest Georgie Bryant, a mom, coach, and creator of the “Not Dead Yet” Time Management Program. Georgie opens up about how becoming a mom tested every time management skill she had—and how she was forced to update her tools and mindset to keep up with the chaos.

This conversation is for moms—and anyone with a demanding or unpredictable schedule—who feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities. Georgie shares how to rewire your mind and reset your nervous system so you can regain control over your time and create the space you need to feel fully alive.
