The 6 Days You Need on Your Calendar STAT - part 1 of 2

If your calendar is packed and your mind is fried, this episode is your official permission slip to slow down, set boundaries, and actually care for yourself. Cheryl and Colleen break down 6 strategic, sanity-saving days you should schedule immediately if you want to avoid burnout and thrive in business and life.

They share personal stories, practical prompts, and mindset shifts that will help you treat self-care not as an afterthought, but as a strategic move.

These aren’t just “cute ideas”—they’re essential survival tools for women doing it all.

🗓️ The 6 Must-Have Days:

1. Get Your Sh*t Together Day

   • Clear the inbox, pay the bills, plan the meals, sort the chaos

   • 🧠 Mental bandwidth starts here

2. Unplug Day

   • A full 24 hours off screens to reconnect with yourself, your thoughts, and your people

   • 🤳 Spoiler: You won’t miss as much as you think

3. Be a Tourist Day

   • Explore your own city like you’ve never seen it before

   • 🚶‍♀️ Local adventure is still adventure

4. Reconnection Day

   • Rebuild bonds with friends, mentors, your community, or yourself

   • 🤝 Relationships = real ROI

5. Couple/Partner Day

   • Intentional time with the one who often comes last on the list

   • 💞 Don’t just survive your relationship—invest in it

6. Comfy / Schedule Nothing Day

   • Cancel plans, wear the sweats, and do nothing on purpose

   • 🛋️ Rest is a strategy, not a luxury

🔥 Why This Matters:

• Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for sustainability

• Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic—it’s often slow and silent

• Scheduling ahead is the key to actually following through

• Boundaries = freedom (and fewer meltdowns)
