012: Everything To Know Before You Go To Disney World Jul 18, 2024

You’re finally taking that big step, taking your family on a trip, and going to Disney World, but you’re not sure what to do, where to go, or how to do it?! I got you, friend.

Earlier this year, we had the privilege of being invited to the Disney Creator Celebration. We spent four days at Disney World, visiting all four parks, and three days on the Disney Cruise.

Let’s discuss preparing for a Disney World trip with your family.

This episode isn’t sponsored by Disney. These are my opinions and thoughts about what I wish I had known before going to Disney World to make the trip as MAGIC as possible.

Now, we don’t have any babies anymore - I knoooooooooow. The kids are 9, 6 and 4 which in my opinion are the quintessential ages to take your kids. They’re all potty trained, have their favorite characters and are old enough to remember the experience.

And while you may think it’s just for the kids, you will have such a wonderful time as well.

In today’s episode, we’re discussing Everything You Need Before You Go To Disney World. These practical tips will help you be fully prepared, stay in the moment, and make the most of your trip.

011: Creating A Summer Schedule for Kids at Home Jun 27, 2024

The MAGIC of a summer schedule is that it allows you to get what you need to get done and what the kids want to get done.

As you know, the Everyday MAGIC framework is about making your day meaningful, aesthetically pleasing, goal-oriented, intentional and consistent.

However, MAGIC in the summer stands for:

Meals
Activities
Gear
Ideas
Calendar

Oftentimes, you don’t make a deliberate schedule for summer break because you’ve been told it should be “relaxed.” But relaxed doesn’t have to been undisciplined.

You can still enjoy your summer with structure.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to create your MAGIC summer schedule for your kids at home.

010: What Makes Your Sunday Reset Routine MAGIC Jun 13, 2024

The whole point of the Sunday Reset Routine is to position yourself for success throughout the week. Once the work week starts, it can often feel like go, go, go, and you’re being pulled in all different directions. By the time you get to the end of the week, you know you did work, but it feels like it didn’t matter, and you’re no closer to reaching your goals.

Being intentional with how you spend Sunday will allow you to use your time wisely throughout the week. That’s what makes the Sunday Reset Routine so MAGIC.

A Sunday well spent brings a week of things well planned and well done.

In this episode, you’ll learn 3 steps to create a MAGIC Sunday Reset Routine that sets your week up for success.

For this episode, I’ve made an excellent resource for you to use to get your Sunday Reset Routine together - that’s the Sunday Reset Routine Plan.

009: How To Make More Time For Self-Care Jun 06, 2024

Self-care isn’t the super indulgent practice that TV and the movies have made it out to be. Self-care is a discipline.

The five types of self-care allow you to fully take care of yourself. In addition, appointments need to be made weekly, monthly, and annually to help you do so.

The truth is that we often try to skip self-care because it takes time.

Self-care is always time well spent.

In this episode of the Everyday MAGIC podcast, we’re talking about about how to make more time for self-care.

008: 5 MAGIC Rules to Keep Your Home Organized May 23, 2024

When you need to organize your home, your home needs MORE—management, organization, routine, and engagement.
You may prioritize work and other aspects of your life over your home even though it’s where your most essential needs are met and personal routines are done. This is why you must start giving it more to get the order you’re looking for.

007: Discovering Your Skin Type & Creating Your Everyday Skincare Routine May 14, 2024

As much as you know, skincare is important, but sometimes you don’t take it as seriously as you should.

Even for someone who loves an illustrious beauty routine, I’m so exhausted some nights I take my makeup off and jump in bed. Ch… I be tired.

But that happens sporadically.
In my 20s, I understood that having a skincare routine mattered. I kept up with it in my 30s, and as someone who is about to be 40, the consistency has served me well.

The MAGIC of my skincare routine is that it's one of those moments in the day that I *get* to have to myself.

You ever need a moment to yourself, to just take care of yourself? Nothing strenuous, just consistent. That’s exactly what your skincare routine gets to be for you.

You should take it seriously AND personally. Skincare isn’t just self-care; it’s health care.

So what if it’s never been your thing, and you don’t know where to start?

In this episode, you’ll learn how to discover your skin type, which four core products are best for your everyday skincare routine, and why making time for it is well spent.

006: How To Make Your To-Do List Work for You May 09, 2024

When you misuse it, your to-do list can do more harm than good.
Just because you have a to-do list doesn’t mean things will get done. It’s not about doing every single thing, every single day. That just isn’t realistic or sustainable.
On average, people have about 15 projects going on at a time.
Here’s why to-do lists work: They help us maintain awareness of our tasks, which makes us clear and focused, and therefore, we get things done.
But they work best when we keep things simple and relevant.
Why are to-do lists important? What do they do for us?
They help us have…
Less stress
Less anxiety
Priorities in order
Sense of accomplishment
Memory
Productivity
Clear plans
Motivation
Time for what matters
Task management
How do you make a to-do list work for you?
In this episode, you’ll learn how to use your to-do list work for you to get more done with less stress.

004: How To Make Meal Planning Work for Family Apr 24, 2024

You ever feel like making decisions about what to eat never ends? That’s why meal planning for your family is helpful.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to create a meal plan for your family that will save you money, work with your schedule, and improve your food choices.

When you’re responsible for making meal decisions for yourself and everyone else, decision fatigue and overwhelm can occur if you don’t plan ahead.

As a mom of three small children, I had to devise a framework and routine to make this daunting task MAGIC. I use the EATS framework whenever I make a meal for my family (I talk about this in the book!)

EATS is entree, appetizer, treat, and sustenance. Use this framework for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It also works for *any* dietary preference.

Meal planning isn’t just about cooking - even if you know you’re going to have takeout, planning to do so helps with your schedule and budget.

Meal planning isn’t just about eating; it’s about honoring your family’s preferences, schedule, health, and budget.

003: Making Decisions Ahead of Time for More Energy & Productivity Apr 20, 2024

We make 35,000 decisions a day. In the book, I discuss how making SADs (small a—decisions) in real-time is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming.

That’s why making small decisions ahead of time is so helpful to keeping MAGIC front and center in your life.

Every time we make small decisions in real-time, we experience decision fatigue and overwhelm, which prevents us from being productive and takes the joy out of our days.

Future you deserves the kindness of current you making decisions ahead of time.

In this episode, you’ll learn 3 tools for making decisions ahead of time, which will give you more energy and productivity.

002: How To Create A Personal Mission Statement Apr 18, 2024

We're often trying to find our life mission. Many people never find it because they never decided what it would be.
Yes, that's right - your life's mission is up to you.
Truthfully, I don't believe there's a "wrong" mission in life as long as it's not out of God's will. And if He trusts you enough to give you free will, commit to deciding your personal (not business) mission statement and watch how much clarity starts to come into your life.
This isn't about what you think you "should" be doing - it's what you are compelled to do that you should be honest with yourself about.
Once you decide, then write your personal mission statement.
In this episode, you'll learn how to create a personal mission statement, why it matters and how to live your life because of it.

001: What is Everyday MAGIC + Why It Matters Apr 17, 2024

In the very first episode of the Everyday MAGIC podcast, I'm sharing why I started this podcast (and the fact I was scared to start it!), what to expect in the coming episodes, and what I'm excited to share with you this season.
In case you're unfamiliar, Everyday MAGIC is the first book I've written as an author. It's a framework that allows you to make life and home meaningful, aesthetically pleasing, goal-oriented, intentional, and consistent.
While I've succeeded as an influencer over the last 10 years, I'm most proud of the life I've created at home and the systems necessary to keep it organized. This podcast is where I will share what has worked for me, hoping you can make it your own and work for you.
Here's to a new chapter.
Love you and there's nothing you can do about it.
