I have a full plate—and if you're anything like me, that’s kind of how you like it. Until suddenly, you don’t. In this episode, I’m talking about how I manage running a business, raising three kids, keeping up with a volunteer role that might as well be a second job, and still somehow remembering to moisturize.

Instead of pushing through with willpower or pretending I’m a productivity robot, I’ve learned how to work with myself—my energy, my mood, my motivation—by pulling the right levers. I’m sharing what those levers are, how I use them, and why they help me get things done in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming or unsustainable. It’s simple, real, and yes… involves a little bit of potty humor. Just how I like it 😉

You’ll learn:

  • The 3 levers of motivation that help me get everything done (plus my silly acronym that makes them impossible to forget!)
  • What clean underwear, Gilmore Girls, and a break from my podcast taught me about motivation.
  • The questions to ask when you’re staring at a task and just can’t make yourself start.
  • Why you don't actually have to have a deep “why” for doing things.
  • Where to look when you think something should be easy, but you’re still not doing it.


If your plate is full (and maybe a little too full), I hope this episode gives you some clarity, a few ideas to try, and at least one good laugh. Listen now!
