| 05 Apr 2022 | Anxiety and Planning | 00:12:38 | |
While weekly planning and time management are not meant to bring stress to your life, many people struggle with feelings of anxiety when it comes to making plans. In this episode, we’re getting to the heart of planning anxiety and the strategies you need to plan in a way that supports you.

| 28 Jan 2020 | Why I Hate Hacks | 00:11:22 | |
I have no clue when everyone started talking about “hacks”…..but I absolutely hate that word. I see it everywhere…”5 hacks to improve your mood”….”#1 hack to save you time”….”top 3 productivity hacks.” One definition of hack is “an inelegant solution to a problem.” Inelegant solution. Don’t get me wrong…I am all about quick…I am all about solutions….but more importantly, I am ALL about setting up systems, tools and processes that work…that grow…that stick with you for life. I want elegant solutions. And…the simpler, the better. I don’t want a short term “hack” that won’t last. I HATE the word “hack” for this reason. I have yet to see a “hack” that helped formed new, sustainable, awesome practices. ________________________________ | |||

But before launching her lucrative food blog and business, Christine was doing something entirely different -- Ten years ago, Christine was on maternity leave from a Ph.D. program when her family relocated from Canada to Orlando. In a new country, armed with a master’s degree in Linguistics and a new baby, Christine struggled to find a job opportunity that matched her skill set. While she figured out what to do with her life, she started a food blog. It was an exciting hobby and kept her connected with friends and family back home. Since then, what originally started as a hobby has turned into one of the top-ranked food blogs in the world, with more than 2 MILLION monthly readers. The journey from hobbyist to full-fledged lucrative business had many twists and turns, and a lot of learning curves. But now, Christine has figured it out and has great tips and strategies to help other online businesses grow. ________________________________ | |||
