226 | Struggling with Summer Laziness? Boost Your Motivation with Time Blocking Techniques

Hey Friend, today we are overcoming summer Ssumps and embracing joyful habits! In this episode of the Life Coach BFF Show, host Heather Pettye offers guidance to midlife women on how to thrive through the seasons, especially during summer.   Addressing a letter from Jamie, a college professor dealing with summer laziness and menopause, Heather provides practical advice on balancing rest and productivity. Key strategies include embracing rest, defining goals with a deeper 'why,' using time-blocking methods, and creating small, joyful steps towards big goals.   Listeners are encouraged to join the show's community for additional support and are reminded to embrace progress over perfection. Heather also recommends 'The Garden of Small Beginnings' by Abby Waxman and the movie 'Julie and Julia' for summer inspiration.   Connect with Host Heather Pettey: Email: [email protected] Speaker Request Here Instagram @HeatherPettey_ Facebook: @HeatherPettey1 Linkedin: @HeatherPettey Book: "Keep It Simple, Sarah" (Amazon bestseller) Facebook Group: @OurMidlifeMoxie Website: www.ourmidlifemoxie.com Don't forget to subscribe to the Life Coach BFF Show for more inspiring content and practical life advice! *Quick Disclaimer- Heather Pettey is a certified coach and not a therapist.
