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

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.

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.

I’m sharing a story about my blind horse… and how it reminded me of how many business owners run their business finances — in the dark, avoiding the numbers, and hoping for the best.

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.

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.

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.”

In this episode, I explore how tolerating situations we could change is actually a hidden form of clutter — mental and emotional clutter. I share a personal story about a time I was stuck in tolerating: why I stayed, what kept me stuck, and how I finally got out of it. 

I also touch on the difference between tolerating and accepting — because when a situation can’t be changed, it’s not about tolerating anymore. That’s where we eithe...
