How I Manage My Time as a CEO, Wife and Mom

0:02

Welcome to She Sells Radio my friend I am glad to be here with you today I’m in

0:09

kind of casual mode today I’ve actually got a couple of really important interviews so when I’m not recording

0:15

this right now I’ve got like a really spiffy we’re going to use that word green Blazer that I’ve been wearing but

0:21

I was like you know what I got a little break I’m GNA get cozy I’m going to put on my sha I’m going to pour some coffee

0:28

into my cute new Starbucks mug if you’re watching the video shout out to my

0:34

stepmom for getting this for me I’m really enjoying it as a Christmas gift

0:39

this is the first solo episode of the new year if you’re listening to this in real time it is uh 111 which is fun

0:47

January 11th 2024 and I am sitting down to talk with

0:53

you today about how I manage my time especially as a mom of two Littles we

1:00

got two under four one of our little guys is three and a half the other one is 10 months old which is crazy to me um

1:08

it really does go so fast like it’s not a lie it really does and I don’t mind when people tell me that because I want

1:13

to be REM be reminded to be present which is side note a key piece of how I

1:20

manage my time um but as a as a mom as a business owner as a wife as someone who

1:27

also cares about her own self-care living her life and doing things outside

1:32

of work which I also used to be such a um workaholic and all of my identity was

1:40

wrapped up in just like how many hours I put in uh that this has really been a

1:45

part of me that I I had to give myself permission to cultivate but I love I

1:53

love who I am and I love all the different things that I’m interested in outside of work now too so um that’s

2:00

what I want to come and talk to you about today is how how I do it I did a post on Instagram maybe a month ago I

2:08

don’t know but I was out it was like the middle of the day on a some weekday and

2:14

I’d done work stuff that morning but then I was out with um our little guy Luke and I’d done some shopping at

2:20

Trader Joe’s I was walking in the stroll oh I was like out shipping a Christmas gift too and it just dawned on

2:27

me you know I I know when people love hearing about time and time management

2:33

frankly I don’t believe in time management I don’t think you can manage time you can manage yourself um but I

2:38

popped on IG and was like would you like me to share how I manage my time as a

2:45

mom as a wife as a CEO doing all the things and the resounding response was

2:51

yes so here we are here we are and I had a funny thing happen which I’ll tell you about in a minute before I get into it

2:58

if you are listening to this in real time I’m sure if you’re listening to it afterwards you can probably catch the

3:03

replay if you register but we have a very inspired two-day event coming up

3:11

January 22nd and 23rd called Elevate 2024 completely free you can get

3:16

registered at Elis arch.com Elevate 2024 and I’m really in this mode right

3:23

now and this energy I want to bring to you of Ascension and in order to

3:28

ascend I want you to think about it’s it’s like a um like a rocket ship taking

3:34

off or like a hot air balloon going up and as I say this I’m like I think a hot air balloon drops the sandbags doesn’t it but it’s all about what do you need

3:41

to let go of and release and drop in order to ascend and then from there you can keep going higher and higher and

3:47

higher so it’s going to be a really beautiful experience it’s all um coming from my heart to yours I I don’t know

3:54

about you but I feel like 2023 was man

4:00

it it was great in a lot of ways and it felt really e like really tough so other

4:08

way so it was a both and anytime it feels tough though we know there’s something we’re being invited to drop to

4:14

release to heal in ourselves so that we can Ascend so always know that

4:20

everything is always working for you and I I saw that play out in my own life last year as well as like some of the

4:26

most beautiful blessings that have ever happened in my life as well uh birth of Luke you know Jason getting into his

4:33

dream medical school as getting to move up here to Maine and live that out along with a lot of other amazing things so

4:38

anyway all good but with that being said I feel like 2023 gave us all the

4:45

opportunity to get clarity on where are we holding ourselves back what is it

4:50

that it’s time to release to drop so that you can Ascend and rise to whatever

4:58

level of sales performance business Revenue

5:03

client opportunities lifestyle that you’re craving and really looking for so that’s what the event is going to be

5:09

about there’s also a lot of things like downloading in me right now for it too but I’d love to have you there again AL

5:15

ster.com Elevate 2024 so with that being said let’s get

5:20

into the meat of today’s episode I’m going to take a sip of coffee

5:26

first so this episode has evolved as I’ve been thinking about

5:32

today what I want to share with you and hopefully you enjoy solo episodes if

5:37

you’re listening I’m assuming you do um they’re they’re way more organic and way more at least a stream

5:45

of Consciousness than some of the interviews that I do but I want to always come to you from the heart and at

5:52

first I thought well let me make a list of my five tips for time management I was like ah I don’t know that feels

5:58

heavy so then I thought and I am going to do this you know what I’ll do I’ll look at my calendar for this week and

6:05

tell you what I’ve been doing and how I how I organize it and give you like a behind the scenes of look at Elisa’s

6:13

calendar and how she does it so I am going to do that because I think that’s kind of cool and so I really haven’t sat

6:18

here and looked much at it I’m going to like go through it with you in real time here and share hopefully some good

6:23

takeaways for you but as I was sitting down to record my books fell over my bookshelf

6:30

well not my whole bookshelf but I’ve got a um you know two bookends with a stack

6:35

of books in the middle sitting behind me you can’t see it on the video right now the whole thing collapsed and fell over which doesn’t happen I hadn’t been over

6:42

there messing with it so I thought okay is there something that I’m not thinking

6:48

of that I need to be aware of for this episode that’s Universe Spirit guides

6:56

whoever is getting my attention here and so so something really stood out and I picked it up and it was a great reminder

7:03

of the number one thing that I so want you to get and hear from this is that

7:10

the things that you do in your day and how much you do or don’t

7:16

do is not as important as your energy and your state and your feeling as you

7:23

were doing the things so this is so critically important and it took me a

7:30

really long time to get it as someone who was so addicted to checking the

7:36

boxes and taking a lot of action and like how much how fast can I

7:42

get done and when I lived and operated that way I found myself and maybe a lot like

7:49

you maybe you can relate to this like health issues anxiety um it was never enough

7:56

either like that’s the thing there was never enough that I was doing and it wasn’t until I started studying a lot of

8:02

this work that I now bring to you on the podcast and studying energy and frequency and our feeling you know

8:10

Neville Goddard has the book Feeling is the secret and why it matters because it is your point of Attraction it wasn’t

8:16

until I started studying that that I started even paying attention to how I was feeling and now because I’m so aware

8:24

that our feeling State generates the the extent of the magnetic force course that

8:31

comes out is going to be at least this non scientific description of quantum

8:36

physics but it’s it’ll be close enough um because that feeling State determines

8:43

how magnetized you are right because the heart is the magnet it’s going to

8:48

determine how effective every action is that you take and it’s also going to determine whether you have to work

8:55

really really hard to get to where you want to go and it’s going to take a long time or or whether you can have a thought of something you would love and

9:02

boom it shows up so I’m not here to say that you shouldn’t take action in your days I do I love taking action I take

9:09

quite a bit of action it’s it’s definitely not the hustle action that it

9:14

used to be it’s far more easy graceful refined but also

9:21

impactful and I also give myself permission to really tune into my

9:26

feeling State and if I ever am noticing hm my heart feels closed I feel off I this

9:32

feels like I should look I’m not perfect with this but I’m getting so much better

9:39

at it that I I know enough to pause and to stop and to say what’s going on like

9:45

what am I thinking right now that’s making me feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m not good enough or I should be

9:53

doing this or that or the other and and to to recap calibrate and get back into

10:00

a state of open-heartedness where I feel focused and centered and in my own power

10:08

and if you’re listening to this and you’re like I don’t know what that’s like that’s okay I didn’t know what it was like either for a long time I also

10:14

didn’t know why it mattered I want you to stay close and go like binge the whole podcast because you’ll get it it’s

10:20

a lot of episodes but you’ll get it we’ve got so many other resources on this you can listen to um one of our top

10:27

ones is the one gosh I did almost two years years ago my life-changing experience at Dr Joe Aspen’s Retreat where I talk more about quantum physics

10:34

and and how this works and why it matters for you so now that I’ve I’ve

10:41

elevated my level of Consciousness in my life and I know now this is why that book fell off the bookshelf so I was like oh my gosh I’m about to go into a

10:48

an episode and not talk about this when this is actually the most important thing so thank you Universe for that but

10:55

the number one thing I care about is how am I feeling and then beyond that all

11:01

right what is what what is the next action that I can take that’s going to

11:06

move me closer to my goals and always retuning back into the feeling the feeling the feeling so um so with that

11:14

being said that’s what matters most Abraham Hicks says something to the extent of if we had to live a day we

11:21

would focus on we’d spend as much time as we needed to feel good and then from

11:27

that place we do whatever we had time left for I love that because I used to be obsessed about my schedule how much

11:34

can I cram in how much can I fit in like I said I never paid attention to my feeling state but the more I practice

11:41

this the more I see how real and true it is and I’ll actually I’ll give a I’ll give it just a quick example um and then

11:49

I’ll I’ll go into my calendar and I’ll share with you what I see and I’ll talk through how the how and the why um but

11:56

even just yesterday I yesterday was a shorter work day for me and I worked I I held our um

12:04

10K Club group coaching call did a little bit of work in the morning and and one thing I’ll say with

12:10

that too see be bopping all around and hopefully you can follow me all right

12:15

one thing I want to say about the little bit of work in the morning and then I’m going to talk about what happened because of my emotional state I heard

12:21

this from Bob Proctor you can get a lot done in one minute and I love that because I used to think oh if I’m going

12:27

to go like you know process my inboxes or do that like I need hours and so stuff would feel heavy and I would never

12:33

get it done because I was such a perfectionist about it and I would think it’s all got to be done and crossed off

12:39

the list or else what or else there was just some nebulous or else what I’ve learned now

12:46

is if I have a quick window and it feels good to go do something I’m gonna go do

12:51

it and I’ll get a lot done so I done like a very quick window in the morning of inboxes checking with the team blah

12:58

blah blah then um yesterday morning I was prepping our 10K Club group call then I went and

13:04

led the call it was a two-hour call but about an hour hour and a half after that

13:09

I left for the afternoon um and this was maybe around 1:30 to go pick up both my sons from

13:17

child care and go take them to the local children’s museum we’d never been here before it’s a really cool local

13:23

Children’s Museum and they had like compet a therapy dog so that was what my afternoon was

13:29

and I was in a really beautiful energetic emotional state feeling very worthy feeling very abundant feeling

13:35

very Spirit connected and from that place I was thinking about this is

13:40

before I left to go pick them up I was looking at our sales for the week and I was like oh I would love to generate x

13:47

amount more of sales for the week and I like that’s it I don’t know how I would

13:53

just love this what do you know about an hour later

13:59

I get a text from my assistant that says speaking opportunity and the speaking opportunity

14:06

totally like not something I’ve been pitching myself for not something I knew even existed inbound from a bureau and

14:14

the rate they want to pay is the exact amount that I said I would like to make before the end of the

14:20

week so I say that just to demonstrate and you’ve no doubt you’ve got examples

14:27

like that too and maybe if it’s not a money it’s another thing where you were just feeling good about it you were light about it you were easy about it

14:33

you said I would love that and boom it came to you so I do

14:38

take quite a good bit of action in my day I don’t like sitting still my

14:43

husband will say I love going to bed so that I can wake up in the morning and start my day I’m I’m a super early riser

14:50

I love it like I love it I love it I love it and the energy behind it is so

14:57

so so important because because when we’re in the energy of already being a vibrational match for our goals when

15:03

we’re in the energy of appreciation and gratitude and eagerness and excitement and we have like intact energy around

15:10

our own power too um then not only do we

15:15

get results from the actions we take but we can also draw to us things that we’re

15:21

Desiring oftentimes without additional action without a lot of additional action and it’s more like a nudge or a

15:28

desire and I’m going to do this I’m going to reach out to this person or hey you just have a thought I would love this and boom there it is it all depends

15:34

on how much resistance you do or don’t have to the thing so that is why it’s a

15:41

long story to explain the importance of tuning into your emotional state I know

15:47

right now if I had made that desire and if I had said I would love that but from

15:52

a place of separation or lack or not enoughness or even of needing it it

15:58

would not not have come through like that so it was from a place of this would be nice I would love this I don’t

16:03

need it but this would be really fun and then boom there it is so let’s take a

16:09

look at the calendar and let me see what I can tell you that would be helpful all right quick sip of coffee and I’m gonna

16:16

I’m gonna share what shows up as I look at this calendar okay so one thing I will say

16:23

this week is a little different because we’re in a transition mode right now with new child care for Luke but moving

16:30

forward in two weeks I will have three days a week of child care for Luke I do

16:36

have um Jack in school five but I also have a lot of flexibility in that and pick him up early slash he could stay

16:42

home one day if we wanted to SL go on vacation um but so I’m

16:48

effectively available for meetings working three days a week now those days

16:54

are not usually eight hour days either so I remember when I before I had had

17:03

like my real Quantum Leap experience and went from um you know 10K months to 100K

17:09

months so quickly back in February of 2021 I I was addicted to work because I

17:17

thought it was what I had to do and I had a little you know Jack our oldest was really little at the time and I was really in a lot of mom guilt about how

17:24

do I balance it all and you know I want to grow and run my comp but I’ve also got this little guy at home and what how

17:30

do I do this and one of the mentors who I was working with um mom

17:39

running a multi-million dollar company and she and Mom three she told me she

17:44

worked three to four hours a day and I was like how so I was working all the time yet

17:52

making less so what I learned through that process and what was so powerful

17:58

and I always always hire mentors because I want to learn how do they think I don’t want them to give me a strategy per se although sometimes that’s helpful

18:04

I I want to know how they think and what I learned about the level of thinking

18:10

that’s required to ascend and Elevate to that level which I know I know I think I

18:16

embody pretty well in my own life and I’m always I’m always working on elevating there too

18:23

is it’s a worthiness where you know how valuable you’re time is you know um you

18:33

know that the amount you make is not based on how many hours you work which can I get it it can be tricky if that’s

18:38

the background you come from and you’ve been paid hourly you’re conditioned in that way but I want you to start thinking like truly wealthy people and

18:46

truly wealthy people it’s not about dollars for hours it’s about service and

18:51

value and how much can I provide at scale so so that’s it so learning to

18:57

think that way has empowered me to be very comfortable and in fact three days a week feels like a decent chunk I was

19:03

doing two prior we got a new nanny who has three days a week and we’re going to try this because there are my leadership

19:11

needs for my team are growing this year and before I used to take meetings with Luke there at home with me and now I’m just finding it’s a bit challenging to

19:19

to do both to the level I want to do so we’re adding in child an extra day of child care for him um one day a week but

19:27

also again the days aren’t full days they’re probably five to six hours three days a

19:34

week as I look at this some days are a little longer some days are shorter it

19:39

just it all depends um but so so that’s the first thing I think is really giving yourself

19:47

permission not the first thing it’s one of many things but one of the things giving yourself permission to make your own rules and think the way a really

19:55

wealthy person would think which is it’s not about the dollars per hour it’s about the efficacy of the work that

20:01

you’re doing and the impact of the work you’re doing I was coaching some of our

20:07

members on the 10K Club yesterday because we have a number of women in who just transitioned from corporate into running their own business and it is

20:14

such a mindset shift when you’re Your Own Boss I get it it’s such a mindset shift and I still will catch for myself

20:21

from time to time like oh I should be doing this or I should be doing that and what I’ve learned is there’s no shoulds

20:28

my friend there’s no shoulds the bottom line is are you hitting your goals for you and are you enjoying the

20:36

process that’s it so those are the again I don’t think there’s any shs but those

20:41

are the things that matter in my opinion that’s what I care about and I care a lot more about enjoying the process than

20:46

I used to that’s like my I love achieving goals like I love that too but enjoying the process is critical and it

20:52

will help you achieve bigger faster goals so looking back at this C calendar

20:58

let’s see what else might be helpful to you so I do have my morning routine time

21:04

blocked out um something I’m actively practicing even just this week and this

21:11

is kind of new but letting that time be really expansive for me so I used to

21:17

include I used to do early morning like I’m up I’m studying I’m meditating I’m

21:22

working out and then I’ve got a 90-minute work block before the boys get up that was always the goal but

21:28

but you know Littles wake up at 400 a.m. and things are different so it it’s not

21:35

that like cut and dry all right it’s not that cut and dry so you got to drop perfectionism with this but what I

21:41

noticed this week and I I stopped and I asked myself I was like am I enjoying

21:46

these work blocks early in the morning or is there something else that I need

21:52

and what I what came to me like sometimes I really do and I do love getting things done early and then

21:57

having a lot of Freedom the rest of the day that’s how I’m wired that may not be how you’re wired so always tune in to you but right now what I felt like I’m

22:04

needing is really expansive self-care time pouring into me because I noticed I

22:12

was like my patience was getting a little shorter with the boys or with myself or with Jason and I was like hm

22:17

that’s so interesting why would I be running out of patience with them now granted there’s there’s a lot of

22:24

laughable scenarios where one might need to be Mother Teresa or Gandhi or the

22:30

pope to be able to to be completely in our Center during the whole thing I’m

22:35

working on it um but I did I was like you know what it’s the whole put your oxygen mask on first thing I’m needing

22:41

and craving more expansive self-care so I took the 90-minute work block out for

22:47

the mornings and all this actually not all this week the past few days I’ve really practiced longer meditation

22:53

longer yoga giving myself a much greater chunk of time to like read and study and

22:59

journal in the morning which I’m loving so it ends up being about a 3-hour total Block in the morning when I’m doing that

23:05

and then from there just trusting that the things that really matter for work are getting get done now I have a

23:10

checklist I have a I have a thing I have a list of things that every day um

23:17

do help the business move forward and are important for the business to move forward so I’m making sure that those

23:24

are getting done or if there if there’s something that I’m not able to do that I’m looping in a

23:30

team member to help with Etc um so I don’t death grip it the way that I used

23:35

to but I do think it’s really important to say these are the things that every day it’s like your daily kpis your daily

23:43

um I call it my success habits but here’s the thing I built them from the

23:49

end Vision accomplished so Elyse as this level of CEO what is she doing every day

23:55

and that’s what I do um so that’s that that and and that’s really powerful but I’m not this week I have practiced doing

24:03

those not as early in the morning and that’s been good for me that’s actually been really good so I’m letting myself

24:09

continue to do this I want you to hear with all of this this is something else I was coaching the group on yesterday

24:15

there’s no one right way to do it there really isn’t you’ve got to tune in for

24:20

you of what feels good and you also I would invite you to give yourself

24:26

permission that what used to work may need to evolve with you as you evolve so

24:33

even for me as I’ve elevated my Consciousness a lot even just over the past month now and like

24:41

seeing myself more and more and more as a leader um it

24:46

has the things that I used to think I needed to do have really

24:52

shifted and I’ve gotten so much more comfortable with delegating with

24:59

not dropping things like they’re not going to happen but me not doing things and and empowering others on my team to do it and and it’s it’s just a level of

25:07

Consciousness and raising your level of Consciousness and continuing to do that and you’ll notice that the things that

25:12

felt right to do it one stage aren’t going to feel right to do it another stage or maybe depending on your energy

25:18

Cycles maybe you’re in if you’re listening to this and you’re a woman biologically a woman then if you’re in a

25:25

menstrual phase you’re not going to have as much energy as if you’re in audial Phase where you’re probably going to want to do a

25:31

lot of detail work and spreadsheets and all of that and so just learning to tune in to your energy to your cycle to where

25:39

you are and that those same energy flows apply to men as well um just on

25:46

different timelines really learning to honor how you’re wired and who you are and what

25:51

works for you is so important so so there’s that so I do as the way I have

25:57

it structed Ed right now is I start off my week on Mondays with Team meetings

26:02

and um and those are fun and they’re relatively short and sweet if we ever had a time where we were like we’re supposed to meet but there’s no that’s

26:09

rare that there’s not something to meet about but if that was the case I would cancel the meeting I do not believe in having meetings just because they’re on

26:15

the calendar at all um let me see what else would be helpful for

26:21

you uh okay here’s something else I want to say and if you are watching the video

26:28

yes I’m wiping my nose it’s um it’s cold and dry here and I’ve had a runny nose

26:34

the past few days so it is it is what it is we keep it real um something else that I would say

26:41

and that I’ve really given myself permission to do and is so empowering is giving yourself permission to take

26:48

things off of your calendar that aren’t going to move the needle for you that don’t light you up

26:54

where your body constricts when you look at them now there’s a difference between

26:59

something being misaligned and a limiting belief we talked about this in our group call yesterday I feel like I’m bringing so much of that here too um

27:08

sometimes we look at something and we want to cancel it because we feel fear oh I hope that that Prospect doesn’t

27:13

show up on a sales call because I’m nervous about asking for the sale or ooh you know maybe I should

27:23

cancel that podcast interview because I’m not ready yet whatever the thing is

27:30

it’s not what I’m talking about that’s a limiting belief what I’m talking about here is something that with love for

27:37

yourself and great energetic boundaries is not the best and highest use of your

27:43

time and you’re going to have to get comfortable caring less about

27:48

disappointing others and caring more about honoring

27:55

yourself and so if there is something on my calendar going into a day where I

28:00

look at it and I’m like H that’s really not a great use of my

28:05

time or oh my it just feels like a a

28:11

drag number one I am big on honoring your commitments check in sooner before

28:18

you say yes to something to really see what I want to do this if I had to do

28:23

this thing right now and if not it’s probably a no but from there I do give myself per things shift things adjust

28:30

Etc I give myself permission to reschedule to drop to rearrange as

28:35

needed so giving yourself that same permission to remembering that the only person you really don’t want to care

28:42

that you don’t want to disappoint is yourself that’s what I like at the end of the day it’s you and you in this lifetime right so being there for you in

28:51

whatever way you need to be with your calendar um I’ll say one thing and then I’ll I’ll add on perhaps another we’ll

28:56

see the one other thing I was going to say with that my um my former colleague and

29:04

Friend R Vaden talked about this I think I’ve talked about this on another time episode but I’ll just share this here

29:10

where he talked about um at the be one of his practices for

29:15

time management was at the beginning of the week wipe everything off your calendar and then let it all fight to get back on and see what actually shows

29:23

up to fight to get it on now I think that may have been somewhat metaphorical I knowing him I know this he doesn’t

29:28

literally take everything off his calendar at the beginning of the week but it’s it’s that type of energy of

29:33

what would be important enough for my time that it would fight to get back on my calendar if I wiped it all clean at

29:40

the beginning of the week and that’s how you can kind of know what the priorities are in art the final piece that I think

29:48

I’ll say with this that’s been so important for me especially as a mom is flexibility especially in hours and I

29:55

don’t just mean how many hours a day I work but I also mean the win of when I’m working so as a

30:01

woman who was in corporate for so many years and then I when I was my own boss

30:07

for the first time I was very much a like slave driver type of energy and and I I existed that way for quite some time

30:14

that’s also when by the way I was stuck financially so just notice the the

30:20

notice the energy I um I was constricting and restricting myself so I was also constricting and restricting my

30:26

income but so I also am very I’ve learned to be very flexible on when I am working so

30:34

because of the the boys schedules and because I I love my work like if I if I

30:40

could work all the time and be happy with it I really could I love my work it’s my happy it’s one of my happy

30:47

places it’s important to me I love what I do I love my clients I care about this I care about you um so this is not like

30:54

a oh at least isn’t a hard worker time like that’s more my identity I’ve had to shift my Consciousness to allow myself

31:02

to rest and take breaks and do other things so so I’ll just say that but

31:10

because in addition to really growing our company and excelling at what I do

31:16

and having really sizable goals for the business for what I want to achieve in

31:23

addition to that I care deeply about being a presid a mom and I care deeply

31:29

about my voice and I love being a mom and it’s I was one of those women where I always knew like I always felt

31:35

comfortable at work but I I wasn’t a woman I’ll just be so transparent I wasn’t a woman where like I knew my life

31:41

purpose was to be a mom I wasn’t when when I became a mom I was like

31:48

oh this is a whole new level and this is very special and I it’s just continued

31:54

to grow over the not quite quite four years now that I’ve been a mom so I care deeply about that and I want to create

32:02

beautiful memories and have lots of time with my kids so I understand it if you feel like you’re in

32:08

that kind of in between like oh I feel pulled in both directions it’s a thing

32:13

like I’ll I’ll acknowledge that but I’ve given myself permission to say what are the things that really need to get done

32:20

in order to achieve my goals at work and and by the way if you haven’t read do less by Kate northrip phenomenal book um

32:27

nominal book to help you hone in on what is that 20% of things you do that move the needle most for you and then you

32:34

just start doing just those so really getting Clarity on that and then also if

32:40

you can giving yourself flexibility on when and how it happens so for example I’m even looking at my calendar right

32:47

now for this week now normally it’s it is rare like very very rare that I have a meeting on a weekend but I’ve got this

32:54

weekend as I record I’ve got a A Private Client in intensive on a Saturday and it’s because This Woman’s schedule she’s

33:00

she’s amazing if she’s listening to this hi I’m really excited for our intensive uh she’s a teacher and her hours

33:08

during uh the weekdays didn’t work with mine and and she bought a private intensive for me and I was like I’m

33:14

gonna I’m gon to make this work so we’re going to meet for an hour and a half on Saturday and that’s going to be work

33:21

time for me and I’m happy to do it because I’m also filling my cup all these other times and

33:28

at the latest uh you know picking up Jack our oldest sometime between 3:30 and 4:30

33:35

although I shifted it this week to be by 3:30 at the latest I’m getting them and then like I said like yesterday I got

33:41

them at too and I’m I’m having afternoon time with them so it’s different it’s always different but I think a few

33:47

things that really matter for me are being present with what I’m doing in the

33:53

moment and trusting that there’s more than enough time to get done everything that matters so you do have to have an

34:00

abundance mindset with this my clients who are listening to this you’ll know you heard me say this um if you haven’t

34:07

heard this before it’s so true if you are in overwhelm or time scarcity that

34:13

same energy applies to your money you’re going to experience Financial scarcity because you’re in a mode and a Vibe of

34:18

not enough so remembering that and when you choose if you’re listening to this

34:24

no doubt you want greater time freedom and money freedom so start with some time Freedom start with allowing

34:31

yourself to be present for what you’re doing start with the belief that there’s always more than enough time for what

34:37

matters start with the um the belief that you can bend time and space with

34:44

your energy and your way of being and that the things that really matter always get done I’ve noticed that like there’s a lot of things every day I

34:50

don’t get done so it’s it’s not a I don’t want to say perfect because I don’t think perfect would be complete

34:56

completing every single thing on your to-do list every day that would take me probably months with what I have on

35:02

my list right now so if we and it’s funny even as they say that I’m like yeah that would probably take

35:09

months there can be this especially if you identify as a high performer or maybe recovering perfectionist there

35:15

could be this thinking that if I could just get it all done on my list that would be a perfect day probably not

35:20

going to happen if your list is anything like mine but what are the core like right now I’ve got and if you’ve heard

35:27

me say I don’t keep to-do list well right now I am i’ I’ve switched it up I’ve got a calendar I’ve also got a to-do list um so again I give myself

35:35

permission to EB and flow and I may get off the to-do list again but right now this is what I need to organize my brain

35:41

when I get home in the morning to work so I’ve got a list of seven things for today and I’m going to do as many of

35:47

them as I can recording this podcast is one of them and whatever doesn’t get done I will decide what do I want to do

35:55

with it do I want to move it to tomorrow uh can does it need to be done at all can I delegate it to someone else right

36:01

there’s all these different ways of doing it but I don’t get into the guilt blame shame game around it the way that

36:08

I used to and instead it’s more like I care about my state I’m going to come full circle here I care about my state

36:14

was I open today did I enjoy my day was I

36:20

there for myself did I love myself did I show up for myself in that I did follow

36:25

through on the things I said I was follow through on so it’s that type of energy and and from that place you’re

36:34

very present and it’s not so much about trying to just check the boxes and do

36:40

the things as much as it is in this moment what’s the most powerful intention and energy I can bring to this

36:46

and from that place what’s the most powerful action I can take so I hope that helps I feel like as I wrap this up

36:53

there’s probably a lot of follow-up questions someone could have from this so if you have follow-up questions send

37:00

me a DM I’m Elyse Archer on all social I’ve really been looking at on the podcast

37:06

what people like the most and I found like almost all of our top episodes and we’ve had some amazing guests almost all

37:13

of our most downloaded episodes have been solo episodes where I’m sharing from the heart like this so if there’s

37:19

more that you want to know as followup to this if there’s anything I didn’t

37:24

explain as deeply as you would like send me a DM I may do a follow-up episode and

37:29

or I can also just DM you back with some thoughts but those are my thoughts for you for today I hope that helps thank
