With two best-selling books plus a globally distributed planner system, a 7-figure company that serves tens of thousands of customers, two little kids and a less-than-40-hour workweek, I’ve discovered how to hold a full life lightly and allow myself to be held in the process..but it wasn’t always that way.
I used to schedule myself within an inch of my life and thought if I could just fit enough into my days, I would finally feel like I had it all together and could achieve the success I’d always dreamed of.
But underneath it all, I was an anxious stress-ball (despite trying meds) who couldn’t fall asleep at night and could never truly allow myself to let go.
Becoming a mother broke me in the most beautiful way possible, and that first year of parenthood (despite postpartum anxiety and insomnia, a sick baby who wouldn’t sleep, and only 10 hours of childcare a week), we managed to bring in the same amount of revenue in our business working less than half the amount of time we’d worked in the past.The moment I realized that I knew I had to figure out what we’d done differently and how we could not only repeat those results (minus the incredible stress of new parenthood) but also codify it as a system that others could follow, the Do Less methodology began to take shape, and I’ve been shouting it from the rooftops ever since.
