my sunday planning and pamper routine
The reason I wanted to create this video and blog post for you was because I really use Sunday’s as an opportunity to recharge and set myself up for the new week.
I talk a lot about productivity, planning, and taking action, but you also know I’m a huge fan of just chilling and having the time to do the things outside of what you enjoy doing in your business.
And Sunday is really that day for me.
So, let’s dive into my Sunday routine!
How to Take Action: 3 Mindset Shifts to Get More Done
I’ve been creating a lot of content lately around planning and how to get yourself more organised.
But, when it comes to reaching your goals and creating a business, putting the plans together isn’t the part that requires the most growth or energy.
What a lot of us struggle with most is actually taking action on those plans.
Although I enjoy my chill time, I consider myself to be a massive action taker. And, what I’ve learned is that it is, honestly, a mindset.
So, today I wanted to share with you 3 mindset shifts that I’ve made that have really helped me to become the action taker I am today.
7 ways I became more organised
Honestly, I used to be someone who identified as an easy-going, goes with the flow type human. And, while that’s definitely accurate in some ways, I also realized it wasn’t getting me anywhere.
Organization used to be something that felt really restrictive and was something that was going to crush my creativity. When, as a matter of fact, it was actually the opposite. I was more creative and I had more free time to do the things that I wanted to do, which made me a happier person.
So, today, I wanted to take you through the big and small ways that I’ve used to become more organized.

I want to take you behind the scenes as I do some normal work today: film a video, consultation call, and some other admin work. But, I also just wanted to spend the afternoon doing a little bit of life planning. I’ve done a lot of business planning over the last couple of days, really over the last couple of months, but I’ve had this call to upgrade my life a little bit, just to take everything to the next level.
But, in order for me to do that, I need to know what it looks like. And, that’s what this “day in the life” is all about!
how much money I make from youtube is it worth it??
I wanted to create this post as a bit of a follow-up from the one I created last month all about the different sources of income I have in my business because quite a few people reached out and wanted to know how much I specifically make from YouTube.
I’ve been pretty vocal in the past about the fact that I don’t believe anyone should rely on Adsense as a source of income, but I wanted to talk a little bit more about the way you can monetize YouTube. I also want to help you work through developing a strategy to make money from the platform.

But, there is so much more to it than that, and that is what we are going to cover today. Just know that these things will apply to your business whether you are making 4-figures or 6.
how I take notes + bullet journal to-do list on my iPad
What I want to show you today, is exactly how I take notes and how I use my iPad to bullet journal.
Really, what this video was inspired by was a question I was asked about how I am able to consistently create so much content and so many courses. And, really, what I think they wanted to know was how I retain so much information and how I am able to learn so much.
And, honestly, it really comes down to note-taking.
Anytime I am watching a video, webinar, or really learning anything that is going to help my content or my business, I make sure that I take notes.
And, in this video, I wanted to show you exactly how I do that.
my desk setup + home office essentials
I am so excited about today’s post!
I am actually going to be showing you what’s on my desk and how I actually organize my desk as someone who works from home.
If you’ve been following my journey for a little while, you’ll know that I regularly change up my home office space. Not only do I think it’s a really good idea to keep things fresh and keep me creative, but I’m a Gemini and I get sick of things pretty quickly.
The office space I have at the moment is probably the favourite that I’ve ever had, I’m so happy with it. It’s so well organized and, honestly, this alone has just made my life so much easier.
27 habits of successful women (YouTubers & entrepreneurs)
Today, I’m going to be sharing with you the favourite habits of successful women. But, this isn’t just some list that I gathered through google searching. I actually reached out to a bunch of different YouTubers, who I am lucky enough to be friends with or know through our communication online, and I asked them if they would be kind enough to share with us what their top 3 habits were.
You will probably recognize most of the people on this list and maybe I am introducing you to some for the first time, but in their own right, all of these women are incredibly successful. I admire every single one of them and I know so many of you will, as well.

That’s what I’m going to be sharing with you today.

I’m really excited for today’s blog post because I’m going to do something a little bit different than I normally.
Rather than just give you ideas and concepts, I’m actually going to do this as more of a live session.
Yup! Together, we’re going to go through the planning session I do every single month to analyze how the previous month went and then to plan for the month to come.
I’m really going to walk you through each individual step that I take so that you can do it along with me.
I thought it would be really fun if we could do this together and it is a resource that you’ll be able to come back to, every single month.
