Behind the scenes: what’s actually working
Published 10 days ago • 3 min read
This week’s Better Together Round-Up is here! Think: one game-changing strategy, the resources you didn’t know you needed, and a few fun favorites we’re loving right now. Quick to read, packed with value—you in? 🕒 3-minute read, unlimited inspiration.
Hey Reader,
We’re back in the swing of things over here—school buses, fall routines, and me googling “quick dinner ideas” on the daily like it’s my part-time job. But here’s the truth I keep circling back to…
In a season that moves fast, I feel better when I slow down and take control.
Let me explain.
I’m obsessed with people’s routines. Like… how do you actually do all of it?
So here’s ours, in all its real and rhythmic glory:
5:45 AM — Alarm (ugh)
6–7 AM — Hair, breakfast, bus (parenting hustle)
7–8 AM — Walk with my husband (non-negotiable reset)
8–9 AM — Workout + prep (I only work out for 30 min—still trying to figure out where the other 30 go 😅)
9–10 AM — Personal time (a total game changer)
10–2 PM — Work block (I'm averaging ~20 hours/week this season)
2–3 PM — More personal time (yes, my therapist is a genius). This week I used it to put up fall decor!
3–8 PM — Parenting round two: bus stop, dance class, homework, all the way to bedtime
8–10 PM — Phones off. Tech down. Unwind.
Does it always go this way? LOL no. But these pockets of intention help me protect my energy—and that’s where everything good starts.
Speaking of intentional shifts… we just quietly changed our podcast (just a bit)—and guess what?
📈 Our downloads jumped 50%. (Yes, I’m still in shock. And yes, a full breakdown episode is coming.)
This was part of a bigger experiment in our business for 2026: - Less launching. More connecting. - Less burnout. More balance. - Less chaos. More control.
We’re trying something new this season, and this workshop is part of it. If you’ve ever thought:
“I want more time off over the holidays…”
“Can content actually be fun again?”
“I need a strategy that doesn't burn me out…”
Then this is for you.
