If your to-do list is out of control and you never know where to start your week… this episode is your starting point.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through my Foundation 5, the simple weekly planning system I use to bring calm to the chaos of mom life and business. It’s flexible, ADHD-friendly, and real-life tested (like, tested while making chicken nuggets and answering client emails tested).

This is the backbone of how I plan my week without feeling like I’m drowning in sticky notes or giving up by Wednesday.

Highlights from this episode:
  • Why you don’t need a perfect system—you need a flexible one

  • What the Foundation 5 actually is and how I use it every week

  • How the Daily Check-In and Weekly Reset can change your life

  • My “empty out session” method for sorting your brain dump

  • Why white space isn't lazy—it’s lifesaving

Action Step:

Try just one part of the Foundation 5 this week. Start with a daily check-in: write your Top 3 and CHAOS Habits each morning and see how it shifts your focus.
