Why Your Planner Isn’t the Problem: Rethinking Systems for a More Connected Life | Ep. 263

Hey y’all. This week, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics: planners and systems! If you’ve ever had a drawer full of half-used planners or too many digital apps that promised to “fix your life,” this one’s for you. I’m diving into why we’ve been taught to chase control—and what happens when we trade that for connection instead.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey from over-optimizing everything to creating softer, more flexible systems that actually make space for joy and presence. I’ll walk you through how to align your tools with your values and energy so your days feel grounded, not boxed in.

By the end, you’ll see your planner and routines in a whole new way. It’s not about doing more—it’s about feeling more you. So grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let’s rethink what it means to plan with purpose.
