What if your morning routine didn’t feel like just another to-do list? In this episode of The Productivity Sweetspot, I’m joined by Monica Mangelson to talk about how to build a rhythm that supports your energy instead of draining it.

We dive into the power of intuitive planning — creating structure based on your natural flow rather than external expectations. Monica shares how tuning into your body and emotional state each morning can boost mental clarity and help you lead your day with intention.

We also unpack why weekly planning (instead of hyper-scheduled daily plans) can reduce stress, and how cultivating presence in the morning can shift the tone of your entire day.

This conversation is full of simple mindset shifts and practical tools for energy management, especially for anyone who has struggled with the pressure to “start strong” or check all the boxes before 9 a.m.

Whether you’re building a new routine or looking to soften the one you’ve got, this episode will help you reconnect with your mornings — and yourself.

Feeling burned out and stuck in hustle mode, even though you're doing all the right things? You're not alone — especially if you're a mom and entrepreneur trying to build a business without losing yourself in the process.

In this episode, I sit down to talk about what it really takes to improve productivity as a female entrepreneur — and spoiler alert: it’s not about doing more.

If you’ve ever believed that hustle equals success, this episode is your wake-up call. Burnout isn’t just “part of the process!”

Let’s flip the script on traditional productivity advice. You’ll hear why time hacks and rigid time blocks don’t actually work for most women — especially moms — and what actually moves the needle when you’re juggling business and real life. I get real about mom burnout, how it creeps in silently, and why it’s one of the biggest threats to your motivation and creativity.

I share my personal experience with burnout recovery, including the moment I realized I was building a business that didn’t fit my life — and how I turned it around. Instead of pushing through with more discipline, I rebuilt my rhythm using energy management, not time blocks or hustle routines.

You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of what female entrepreneur productivity looks like when you choose peace over pressure — and why that shift is essential for long-term success and sustainability.

Whether you're in the thick of burnout or just want to work smarter without burning out later, this episode is your permission slip to ditch the hustle and step into a more sustainable, fulfilling way to show up for your business — and yourself.
