60| Planning With Purpose: Faith, Focus & Flexibility

🎉 It’s a big day on the Anchored with Purpose Podcast — the Anchored with Purpose Planner is officially available! 🎉 In today’s episode, Melissa unveils the planner she has been designing, refining, and dreaming about for more than 15 years. She shares the behind-the-scenes journey of searching for the perfect planning system, the hilarious “Frankenplanner” experiment, discovering the discbound system, and overcoming overwhelm with other planners on the market. As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD, Melissa explains how planning tools have been life-changing, and how this new planner is created specifically to help women live with peace, clarity, and intention — without guilt or overwhelm. Inside this episode, you’ll learn what makes the Anchored with Purpose Planner different: weekly Scripture memory, monthly biblical themes, inspirational messages, time-blocking layouts, reflection pages, and the flexibility of a printable system that you can fully customize. Melissa also explains why she intentionally didn’t include every possible feature and how optional add-ons allow each woman to personalize her planning experience. If you’re ready to plan your life with purpose and anchor your days in faith — this episode will get you excited to start. 🎙 The planner is available NOW  — plus a FREE December download to try and use right away!
