Finance & Organization Tips for Entrepreneurs, Blending Astrology & Strategy – Chaos to Peace with Conny

I also look through the lens of the four element types (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) and how each type approaches decisions, their common traps, and practical ways for them to move forward. 

You’ll hear about simple but powerful tools plus ext...

If you struggle with believing in yourself, I also share an insight from my mentor that made me chuckle (hint: it may or may not involve a unico...

In this episode, I shine a light on this pattern from the perspective of the dominant elements. How the Fire type’s passion can turn into frustration, the Earth type’s reliability into stubbornness, the Air type’s brilliant ideas into scatteredness, and the Water Type’s empathy into  overwhelm and ...

What if I told you we're all paying taxes beyond what goes to the government? We pay mental taxes (worry and guilt), emotional taxes (stress and resentment), and even spiritual taxes when our spending isn't aligned with our values. 

In this episode, discover how to start shifting from money anxiety to more cheerful spending using ancient Stoic wisdom and modern mindset tools. I offer three practical techniques to transform...

Some words trigger our inner bully — you know, that harsh voice that criticizes and tears us down. I recently was taught that one of those words is self-improvement. In this episode, I want to pass on what I learned, why to let it go, what to use instead on your journey from chaos to peace.

Let’s explore what happens when we’re pushing ourselves to reach a goal… versus when something is pulling us forward. and also the connection to perfectionism! This ties right into the work I do around chaos vs peace and supportive vs restrictive order from last weeks episode and I introduce you to a way how perfectionism often sneaks in through the back door without you realizing it.

We’ll also revisit the four sides of the chaos/order coin from last week and I’ll offer you small, practical ways to shift your energy and move to more peace (and s...

What if chaos isn’t just something to get rid of, and order isn’t always the goal? 

Let's explore the idea that there aren’t just two sides to every story but four. Inspired by the concept from the book Die 4 Seiten der Medaille (The 4 sides of the coin) by Ruediger Dahlke, we’ll take a deeper look at chaos and order, how both can help or hinder us, and how recognizing all four aspects can bring more peace and clarity into our ...

This episode dives into courage as a conscious choice and how understanding is not knowing. We are stronger than we think and courage means doing what feels uncomfortable, owning your choices, and most of all, having your own back when things don’t go as planned. This moves us from understanding to knowing, and that's where change happens.

Forget perfection, pressure or decluttering for the sake of it. It’s about aligning your space, your time, and your money with what brings you joy. 

In this episode I talk about how to reconnect with your heart, your creativity, and your vision for the life you actually want to live. Because moving from chaos to peace starts with intentionally choosing what stays and how and for what we spend money, not just what goes.

The productivity gurus say batching is the key to productivity: group your tasks, get more done, save time. But… what if batching is actually making things harder for you?

I talk about the dark side of batching, how it can sabotage you and turn into procrastination. I dive into why batching doesn’t always work and why "a few minutes a day keep the chaos away" might be a better approach.

Both the Sun and Jupiter have moved into Cancer, the sign of home, emotions, and soul-rootedness. Let's explore how that impacts our home, our energy, and the physical and emotional clutter that keeps us stuck. 

This powerful energetic shift calls us to reconnect with what home and soul space (in German: Heimat) truly means to us. You’ll hear some of my personal reflections, I'll give you journal prompts, and practical que...

In this episode I talk down the difference between an actionable to-do list and the mile-long monster list that most of us have that leaves us overwhelmed and spinning our wheels.

I share how and why this monster list is sabotaging our productivity, and then I talk you through the steps that I take to (declutter and) turn that massive master-list into a manageable daily to-do list, what I call a smarter to-do list.

What if your to-do list struggle isn’t a productivity problem? 

I walk you through how your personality type and elemental wiring (Fire, Earth, Air, or Water) shapes your natural planning style, and how you might unintentionally trip yourself up and sabotage yourself. 

Whether you over-plan, overthink, avoid structure, or start a million things but finish none… this episode explains the why. Then next week, I’ll walk you through the ...

Have you ever cleaned your desk or organized a drawer, only to have the chaos creep back in days later? Most people focus only on the goal... a clean, clutter-free, organized space. Unfortunately that alone won't help you become more organized or create a supportive instead of sabotaging environment. 

In this episode, I share what to do instead and how to go from crisis-clearing to a system that sticks and keeps the clutter at ...

Words are powerful — especially the ones we use on ourselves. Today's Gemini New Moon is an ideal time to explore the sneaky word that clutters our minds and robs us of momentum: “should.” 

I’ll show you why it’s time to stop should-ing yourself and share a playful word game that helps you shift from guilt and pressure into curiosity and self-kindness — so you can take action from a place of peace, not push.
