About this episode

I’m all about routines, but there’s one routine that genuinely keeps me from feeling like I’m running on a hamster wheel week after week: my Weekly Prep Meeting. It’s the secret sauce that helps me steward my time and energy well so I can focus on what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in to-dos or constantly saying, “Next week, I’ll finally get my life together…” then you need this episode in your life. I’m breaking down what a Weekly Prep Meeting is, how it works, and why it’s a total game-changer.


Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • What a Weekly Prep Meeting is and how it sets you up for a productive week
  • My simple framework for planning your week around your goals, well-being, and relationships
  • The exact tools I use to make this process seamless and effective
