135. A Grace-Filled Alternative to Time Management

If you’ve ever created a perfectly color-coded schedule only to abandon it by Tuesday, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why traditional time management often fails, especially for Type B, ADHD, multi-tasking mamas, and what to do instead. We're talking about time stewardship: a grace-filled, purpose-driven way to spend your time without the pressure to be perfect. It’s not about control, it’s about intention, rhythms, and flexibility. Pour a cup of coffee and join me for a chat that might just change the way you plan your days.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:

• The real reason time management doesn’t work for moms and creatives

• Why “after this week it’ll calm down” is a lie we keep believing

• The story of my Great Tuesday Meltdown (aka the peanut butter floor moment)

• What time stewardship actually means—and why it’s more freeing than control

• How to create a planning rhythm that supports your life instead of suffocating it

• Simple daily, weekly, and monthly check-ins to realign without starting from scratch

If this episode gave you a little “aha” moment (or made you feel less alone), leave a quick review and share it with a fellow chaos-managing mama. It helps more women like us find rhythms that fit, and it seriously makes my day.
