We are mastering time management over here with Coach Danni D of the Profits in Pajamas podcast! Coach Danni and Whitney discuss effective time management and calendaring strategies to keep us out of burnout and thriving.

Whitney shares her struggles keeping up with her calendar and feeling overwhelmed by the back-to-back-to-back meetings. Coach Danni D brings her unique perspective as a Work with Ease coach on how to protect the white space in the calendar and strategies she teaches to help high achieving women own their calendars.
