Build A Week That Holds You: Gentle Planning and Midweek Resets to Quiet Mental Clutter!

Send us a text

If your mind ever feels like a browser with too many tabs open, and one of them is definitely playing music, well you’re in the right place. Today isn’t about another app, a color-coded calendar, or chasing more productivity. It’s about building a week that actually holds you. A week with rhythm, room, and relief. One that quiets mental clutter and makes space for what matters: your work, your people, and your well-being.

I’ll walk you through how I plan my week, so it eases my mind instead of filling it, and how I reset midweek when everything feels a little off. Consider this a calm reset for your life and business, especially if you’re a solopreneur or a high-capacity human who carries a lot.

I’m Donna Williams, a certified holistic health coach. I support my community of color of busy professionals, mothers, and adults 40+, to cut through the noise, trust their lived experience, and turn their own wisdom into sustainable habits. My approach is culturally aware, practical, and grounded in real life. Together, we clarify what truly works for your body and season of life, then make it doable with simple steps and compassionate accountability. The result: more energy, confidence, and consistency on your terms.
