In this episode, I talk about the unobvious reasons planning feels hard — the tiny, hidden parts of a plan that quietly derail our follow through. I share real examples from life, business, and the holiday season, and show how supporting ourselves differently makes everything feel more doable. If you’re stepping into a full month or year and want planning to feel easier and more aligned, this is for you.

I’m talking about the power of the pause, how it’s not a break from life, but an essential part of how we live, plan, and create. When I give myself space to pause, I reconnect to what matters most. In this episode, I share how pause has become my most important practice, how it shapes the way I plan, and why it’s the key to moving forward with more intention, ease, and alignment.

​​December can be the rush… or the reset. In this episode, I’m sharing why I’m so passionate about making December matter—how I went from hanging on to the season to aligning it with what my family and I actually need. I tell the stories: the year we cozied and decorated everything for a kid who needed softness, the year we all agreed to travel, and the year I dreamed a whole new chapter from my couch.

If you’re craving a gentler, more intentional season, press play. We’ll talk about pausing now, planning from clarity, and letting December become a portal into who you’re becoming. And yes—I’m inviting you into Make December Matter, my 4-part guided experience with a comprehensive workbook and replays if you can’t come live. Join me and let’s design a December that feels like you. (https://plansimple.com/makedecembermatter)
