TLS #65 with Katie Richardson: Stopping the Glorification of Busy

This Lively Show is thanks to a tag @shanderson22 left for me on Katie Richardson’s Instagram photo that declared, “stop the glorification of busy.” I’m talking with the incredible Katie Richardson, a wife, mother of four littles, and the founder of the practical and stylish children’s line, Puj. This episode is more of a conversation than a traditional interview. Katie and I both explore the challenges, triumphs, and limiting beliefs we face when it comes to detaching ourselves from busy-ness. This episode is perfect for anyone who is over-scheduled, overwhelmed, or wants to drop the word “busy” from their vocabulary. In This Episode You’ll Find Out About:   How Katie and her family lived on $120 a week in order to start her company, Puj, and how it later became a million dollar business in it’s first year. The lessons Katie learned about being authentic in her business, while still being professional. Katie’s newest product release that is currently on Kickstarter. How Katie came to the realization that we need to stop the glorification of busy. The struggles Katie and I still face in our lives and careers when it comes to getting help and delegating. The struggles I’ve had lately overcoming the limiting beliefs that come with comparing our own abilities to other people’s abilities. The challenges Katie and I have both faced when putting boundaries on technology, and the habits we have found useful to combat the temptation to check social media all the time. The areas of her personal life that Katie gets help with and how she determined which things she needed to delegate, based on her company and personal Values. How to determine which things to do yourself, and which things to delegate. How Katie weaves her Values into her business and makes decisions based off them, particularly when difficult decisions pop up. What Katie would tell someone just starting out on this journey.       SHOW NOTES:   Katie got a lot of inspiration from Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less Puj.com Puj Tub Phillup Cup Kickstarter Campaign Puj Nub Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial @pujbaby (IG)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsJoin us in Welling, An online members club of 200+ inspired souls.
