Monthly Reflection (A Replay from Pretty Productive Life) May 27, 2022

This week I'm actually going to be sharing recent live replay recording of a call that I did inside of my program, Pretty Productive Life. This is a program where I have created a complete notion system to help you stay organized with your task and project management, create content, manage your mental wellbeing, and so much more.
And now through the end of 2022, every other week, I'm doing a live call on Friday where we either do Journal prompts or we do a weekly pulse point check in.
We're kind of in an experimentation mode right now, so it's been really fun to do these different calls and the one I recently did felt so lovely and I thought it might be fun to actually share the replay of it with all of you so you can listen along in this recording. I definitely recommend having a Journal, a notebook, or something to type in, whether it's a Notion document or a Google Doc, whatever you prefer.
But we'll be going over some reflection questions for the past month and planning ahead.
Let's get started!

Questions & Scenarios to Consider to Highlight What you Really Want Jan 24, 2022

It becomes so easy to get caught up in things that we think will make us happy, or what society or even friends and family pressure us to do or feel in order to create and facilitate joy in our lives. But I think that it's important to remember that it can be a lot more simple than we give ourselves credit for. And that feeling how you want to feel and living a life that truly brings you joy can be a lot more attainable and manageable than we may often think.
So in today's episode, I want to share both some creative scenarios and some lovely questions that you can answer in your head as you listen along or journal with later that will help you figure out what comes next and hopefully serve as some powerful and lovely reminders to ensure that the year ahead is more in your control than we think.

Weekly Pulse Point Check Ins Nov 08, 2021

Your Weekly Pulse Point check-in is a time to check in on your projects and see how far along you are and if you're on track to meet your deadline. It's also a time to check in with yourself and see I what you can let go of: ideas, tasks, certain projects.
Today we'll be exploring why check ins are so helpful & how you can get started creating or revamping your own.

21 Things I’ve done (and never done) in my business Nov 02, 2021

When I started my online business in 2015 I had a lot of assumptions about what I “must do” in order to be successful.

I thought that if I wasn’t hitting those $10k months or bringing in a $20k launch that I must be missing some success secret or worse, maybe I wasn’t doing enough money mindset work or was thinking all the wrong thoughts and making the universe give me the wrong things.

::big eyeroll::

I fell into a lot of “traps” online when I first started my business and I want to talk about them today and also share 21 things that I've done (and not done) in my business to get where I am today.
There's a lot of pressure to hit specific milestones as a business owner, but you don't have to do all of them in order to be a legit entrepreneur.

I want to have a conversation around our pressure to always be doing more, to always be setting goals, how sometimes self help can be dangerous and not in our best interest, and how we can reevaluate what it means to exist, to be mindful and to be productive.

How I Use Weekly Theme Days in my Business Oct 04, 2021

Having Weekly Theme days in my business has allowed me to create more focus and energy management as I work through my focus projects. It's less about what each day is and more so the permission and container each day provides that allows me to truly focus on one thing at a time without feeling as scattered or distracted by other equally as important priorities.
Join me for this episode where I'll be walking you through some of my current theme days, how they help, important considerations, and some ideas for better managing your own time and energy.

The Simple Standard Sep 27, 2021

Productivity is often overcomplicated. Build a giant system, find the perfect online tool, make it look appealing. There's an expansion in coming back to simplicity, an allowance that encourages us to escape the never-ending cycle of perfectionist planning and instead, lets us surface the tasks we need so we can take sustainable action.

In order to be productive we must be aware of 5 things which we'll be covering in this podcast episode, they are:

The Simple Standard is simply this:

What is taking up space in your mind? (Clarity)
What do you want to accomplish? (Outcome)
What are the tasks needed to reach that outcome? (Actions)
What kind of effort will those tasks require from you? (Energy)
When do you need to complete them by? (Time)

I can't wait to walk you through this process and remind you of how simple productivity can actually be.

The Best Business Investment I've Ever Made + Things to Consider Before You Invest in an Online Program Mar 11, 2021

What’s been one of the most groundbreaking courses or programs you’ve enrolled in since starting your business?
Since 2015 I’ve enrolled in more courses than I can count and have spent excess of $60,000 learning how to grow, market, and run my business. (Not something I had planned on when I initially started my business and thought I already knew what I was doing 🤷🏼‍♀️)
I’ve invested in expensive business coaches and year-long programs.
And to be completely transparent, many of them weren’t as helpful as I had hoped. (I’d say about 20% of the investments I’ve made over the years have been downright horrible and not worth the price) - typically programs based on bro-marketing and bro-psychology 🙄
The other 80% got me the results I wanted (if I did the work required), introduced me to fellow business owners that I still talk to on the regular, and helped me validate how I want to run things in my own business.
But very few have stood out and maintained the test of time. Very few have helped me create sustainable momentum and literally changed my life and business.
Today on the podcast I’m sharing a new post all about the program that I can’t speak highly enough of and the community that I still interact with weekly.
In this episode, I’ll be sharing what was different about this specific investment which will give you some insight into creating offers of your own!
I'm also talking about important questions and considerations to make before making a bigger business investment.
And I’ll be showing you what I was able to learn and focus on that truly generated growth (and income) in my business.

The Truth About Running an Online Business May 11, 2020

We've all searched for it, we've all wanted it, we've all looked for it, hoped for, even opened our wallets for it. That miracle solution, that success solution, that course that has just what we've been missing, that coach that can tell us just what we need to do. It must just be a missing link in our brains, it must just be a piece of information or knowledge that all of these people that are successfully running online businesses have or somehow seem to have obtained that we must just not get, that these people must be holding behind some gated wall, that if we could just tap into if we could just know that secret, we too, could be successful online business owners...Let's talk about this!

102 - Do The Work Feb 10, 2020

Man, do online business owners love to share the WINS. 10k months, 6-figure launches, passive profit, the list goes on. That shit is amazing but let’s get real, we’d all rather know how the hell they got there. What you don’t see behind the outcomes are the steps, the challenges, the setbacks, and the mindsets it took to get there. We’re being fed a lie, that you can create an online business and “never work again” because you’ll love it so much.

I’m here today to tell you that anything in your life that you really want WILL require work, it will require doing the work, and there will be a TON of moments of discomfort. Just like our emotions ebb and flow, so does the pace of our creative projects and how things come together.

It’s incredibly liberating to realize that your business doesn’t have to feel “good” all the time, it allows you to come at the work you do in the world from a place of reality, consistency, and truly set up a plan for yourself so you CAN be sustainable and create your joy.

Pull up a seat, it’s time we have a chat about what it means to run a successful online business…

096: Annual Review & Closing Ceremony, A Guided Workshop Dec 30, 2019

Let’s make one thing crystal clear. There are no rules about WHEN you must listen to or take part in this ceremony/guided workshop. It can be December 31st or well into the New Year. You can listen to it after a chapter of your life is ending or just before a new one is about to begin. You can listen to it in July before you get ready for the new school year or when you need to center yourself.

Unnecessary rules are just that, unnecessary.

Before you hit play or keep listening I also need you to know how excited I am for you to listen to this episode.

This workshop was originally created in 2016 when I was just starting my business and when I was still extremely nervous about speaking into a microphone or doing a live workshop. I’m sharing this audio with you today because this is a powerful workshop and I still get messages from people asking me about it and if it will ever come back - so here it is!

It will involve you doing some work. It will most likely require you to hit pause, to get real with yourself, and to ask yourself some big questions.

This used to be part of a larger paid program I offered back in 2017. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to join one of my courses, workshops, or online group programs, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I also want you to know that you can listen to this in podcast form but you can also watch along with the workshop video and download the PDF Worksheet by going to MindfulProductivityBlog.com/closingceremony

If you find this episode helpful, please share the crap out of it, and leave a written review on iTunes. Thank you!

083 | The Creative Balance of Being a Writer and a Human with Marisa Mohi Sep 30, 2019

Creatives are amazing people. They get up, go out into the world, do their job, and they often come home and do even more for the sake of creativity and bringing their gifts out into the world.

In this week’s episode, Marisa Mohi joins the podcast and we talk writing and productivity. She shares how she creates a balance between being a regular human (and not a writing robot) and consistently writing her novel and so much more.

My favorite part about my conversation with Marisa is how real, honest, and down-to-earth she is (even though she can write 10,000 words in a day!). You’ll love Marisa’s personality, her approach to writing, and how she approaches writing from a place of self-compassion and productivity.

Marisa Mohi shares the struggles of being a writer with a day job on her blog and YouTube channel and loves to discuss creative productivity with anyone who will listen. She's launching a writing coaching service to help other writers get back in the habit of writing and to build their online platforms so they can market themselves and their projects. Marisa is also working on a novel about grad students, a few ghosts, and a kid who can't stop using her parents' Amazon account to order stuff.

080 | What's the Rush? Sep 09, 2019

I'm guilty of this often with myself. The "have tos" start flooding in. The feelings of "if I don't do this or get this done, the world will end"

It's in those moments I have to take a step back and ask myself, will it? ....like really?

Urgency can serve us in powerful ways. It can serve as a tool to get us to take action, it can get us to jump into an opportunity we might not otherwise.

It can be a great way to get those around you to take action, too.

But for today, I want to take a moment to talk about the importance of doing the "un-urgent" things.

In this week's episode, we'll explore the mindset behind urgency and how you can begin to truly prioritize what's most important.

067 | What Struggling with Depression Really Looks Like May 06, 2019

In April 2019 I shared on an IGTV video how I've been struggling with depression. The messages I received were powerful and they proved one thing: we are not talking about this enough and the stigma is still alive. In this episode I'm sharing my real and raw experience with depression, what it looks like from the outside, why we hide behind it, how I've been using mindful awareness to help myself THROUGH it, and some bigger discussion points I think we all should be considering.

This is an episode for EVERYONE, not just for people experiencing depression. As a collective, we all need to build our awareness.

I swear quite a bit in this (something I tend to do when I'm passionate about a topic).
