In this episode, we're going deep into the everyday struggle of decision fatigue, breaking down why it happens, how it quietly steals your energy, and what you can do to reclaim mental space. Feeling drained by constant choices? You're not alone. From navigating daily pressures to deciding what's for dinner, this is an honest conversation about why your brain gets overloaded, and how to reset it.

I'm sharing my personal strategies to manage decision-making throughout your day, from micro-prep moments before meetings to simple midday resets like short walks or quiet time. I also share why celebrating a decision (yes, even the tough ones) can be a game changer for your mental health. If you're looking for clarity, calm, and more mental energy at the end of your day, this episode is absolutely for you.

-What decision fatigue really is, and how it shows up.

-How to prep your brain for big decisions in just 60 seconds.

-The power of midday check-ins and short breaks

-How to build a daily rhythm that works for YOUR brain. Spoiler alert: my advice may NOT work for YOU.

0:54 Decision fatigue is REAL.

1:54 How to set yourself up to make the biggest decisions of the day.

4:24 Celebrate making the decision and STOP dwelling on it!

6:13 You have to try things out to see if they work for you...but know they might not work.

What does it mean to lead through learning? In this "from the road" episode of the Rhythm of the Road podcast, I'm coming to you from a stunning atrium in Dallas, where I'm attending a conference. In real time, this is what the power of showing up—fully and intentionally—at conferences, workshops, and masterminds looks like. It’s about taking action, pacing yourself, and being open to spontaneous hallway conversations that can change everything.

Whether you're a solopreneur, creative, or team leader, this episode is all about how to make the most of your learning experiences—and how to lead by example while doing it.

-Why leaders need to be lifelong learners.

-How to create meaningful connections at conferences.

-The value of pausing, recharging, and pacing yourself.

One of my favorite things to do with an author who's recording their audiobook is helping them choose the right recording space for them. In this episode, we're honing in on one of the most important factors in crafting an audiobook that captures the heart and soul of a story, the space. Not just any space.

It's about creating the perfect space for authors to thrive. From the physical environment to the mental headspace, every detail matters when it comes to ensuring authenticity and emotional resonance in their recordings. I talk about ways authors can find comfort and inspiration, whether through tangible items (that don't make noise), meaningful symbols, or simply the right environment. When it all comes together, you as the author can feel comfortable and confident in bringing your words to life.

- How we choose the right recording location for you.

- Things to think about bringing into the space.

- Why the right space makes the most difference!

1:03 How I approach the audiobook process with authors.

2:32 What are the "spaces" to think about when recording an audiobook?

4:02 Things you can bring into the recording space to feel more comfortable.

5:46 You can even pick the city you want to be in!

In this episode, I've got to address something we're all guilty of...slamming the door on ourselves. I'm talking about carving out time for self-improvement and building deeper, more meaningful relationships. By planting seeds of opportunity through genuine interactions, you can create a network of connections that pave the way to opportunities you never saw coming.

Opportunity isn't just a rare occurrence; it's something you can cultivate with intention and patience. Personal growth should happen at a pace that’s sustainable and fulfilling. Learn how it's okay to hold off until you're ready for the path. By emphasizing self-awareness and leaning on the support of your circle, you can even sustainably stay on the path to future opportunities.

- How you can get access to new opportunities.

- Why building relationships is part of a making a difference.

- Opportunities sometimes present themselves when you're not ready - how to handle it.

0:36 We're always taking care of other people.

2:46 How to get access to new opportunities.

3:48 Making a difference doesn't necessarily have to be made transactional.

5:27 It's okay to put opportunities off to the side when you're not ready for them.

How far are you willing to go?? Today, Nell and I are discussing the lengths people go to keep it real online. We chat about the trend of sharing raw, emotional moments on social media and wrestle with the idea of whether staying true to oneself should always come first, even if it means opening the door to misunderstanding or backlash.

We're talking all about authentic content creation, focusing on the role of genuine communication in building connections. Hear Nell's tried and true tip to boost your comfort and authenticity on-screen! We also unpack the art of setting boundaries and even give strategies to cut down on unnecessary digital noise, which gives us an idea of when we reach the point of "done." Speaking of done...should we be thinking about this when we embark on our content creation journey?

Enjoy this episode and the rest of the Mixed Media Series on the "5's" here on The Rhythm of the Road Podcast!

- Nell shares a story about intent behind some controversial content.

- Show people the struggle!

- One tool we can use to practice making authentic content.

- Be aware of when you're "done."

In today's episode, we're hitting reverse and heading back down the road to where I learned to harness fear as a catalyst for growth and to take calculated risks that ultimately shaped my path. I'm talking about authentic networking experiences as essential tools for success in any creative endeavor.

Networking isn't just about expanding your circle—it's about deepening connections and nurturing relationships over time. I share my own approach to building a robust professional community by being a connector who values it intentionality. Learn how nurturing relationships without expecting immediate returns can lead to opportunities in not just music, but business too. By consistently helping others find solutions, my network grew stronger and opened doors to new possibilities and collaborations that never would've happened.

- Why fear is actually a GOOD thing.

- My experience with hiring a coach.

- Time is actually your friend when you're networking properly.

1:46 Fear is a positive thing if you use it to your advantage.

4:01 How networking has led me to finding people who can help accelerate my process of moving forward.

4:36 Hiring a coach was a great decision. Hear why.

13:05 The opportunities from networking that would have never happened.
