If you’ve ever created a perfectly color-coded schedule only to abandon it by Tuesday, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why traditional time management often fails, especially for Type B, ADHD, multi-tasking mamas, and what to do instead. We're talking about time stewardship: a grace-filled, purpose-driven way to spend your time without the pressure to be perfect. It’s not about control, it’s about intention, rhythms, and flexibility. Pour a cup of coffee and join me for a chat that might just change the way you plan your days.

-
Why “after this week it’ll calm down” is a lie we keep believing
-
