You Don't Need More On Your To-Do List.
You need time and clarity to focus on the things you already know you want to do.
I just heard the best metaphor for how we’re all doing right now on the other end of the information firehose that is our lives in 2024.
Imagine you’ve hired six different interior designers to tell you how to decorate your house. If you tried to enact all their advice at the same time it would be a complete mess. It wouldn’t work. There would be conflicting information and you couldn’t do anything. I don’t know why we think this is how to get the most out of our lives right now either.
We’re exhausting ourselves trying to cherry pick the best inspiration and knowledge from a bunch of systems without having the time to digest or plot our own paths forward. Many of us don’t need more things on our to do list, we need the time, clarity, and attention to focus on the things we already know we want to do. We need reaction and inspiration on our very specific, complex mixture of life circumstances and goals.
Just as we seem to finally be making progress to more of the world being capable of holding complex, sometimes contradictory truths about the circumstances of our planet (like our societies can be maniacally over consuming and also some people are suffering doing without within those same structures) our own lives can need more complex consideration than simply “be a success” or “be good” or “take care of yourself.” Whatever those mean. It’s complicated. Work, health, creativity, core values, community, goals and dreams are incredibly nuanced and interrelated things.
It’s why I created the unlimited 15 minute mentor sessions through the end 2024, because I want you to have time to articulate what you want. I want you to have time to brainstorm and prioritise. I want it to be digestible and not throw you into a full freeze because even good things can be too much. I want you to take consistent action—even, or particularly—if that action is being clear about where you need to pause and rest.
So if you are interested in this kind of container the information about working with me is below. If it’s not something you can or want to do right now, something you could consider today are these questions:
Where am I taking in more information than I can process right now?
What would improving that look like for me? Time spent? A separate email address for informational things I like to pursue in my leisure but don’t want derailing me from the action I am committed to taking first? Unsubscribing from things I’m mostly just being nosy about?
What information really inspires me? What do I take action after consuming? Does subscribing to all the recipe blogs inspire me to try things or do I just feel guilty because I’m still not cooking something new?
What am I trying to tell myself about what I want through what I’m consuming?
You’ve got this.

Throughout the month of September I am starting a package of UNLIMITED 15 minute mentoring sessions through the end of the year! 15 minutes because we need digestible chunks of life right now. It’s kind to your nervous system, your calendar, and won’t overwhelm your to do list.
Here’s what you’ll get:
1 x 30 minute Kick Off Call to get us oriented with what you might be trying to achieve. Business, art, a new career, life pivots whatever you want to do and feel supported progress on by the end of the year.
Unlimited x 15 minute sessions. You receive the recording and summary of each session. Once you take action on what you’ve decided is the digestible action from the session, you can book your next session. (Don’t worry if you get stuck or change direction, we can get you reset).
1 x 30 minute State of the Union call in early December where we talk about what has happened so far and what might be next for you. (You’ll still be able to book 15 minute sessions as available until the holidays).
Cost $2500 CDN which means it’s totally on sale if you use USD or GBP! Purchase necessary to start, but if we don’t click at the Kick Off Call you can get a refund then (minus payment processing fees).
The sessions will be on Zoom.
Availability for sessions: M-Th 10-4 CST (let me know if you are non-North American and we can find something that works better for you).
As always you don’t have to want to do this—that’s a great answer. But if you do, I’d love to be that person. Reply or Comment and I’ll get us moving forwards.
