Ep. 129 How Your Sun Sign + Human Design Respond to Overwhelm
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what overwhelm really is—and how your Sun sign and Human Design type can show you the way out. Before Productivity for Living got its glow-up, it was called From Overwhelmed to Under Control—and honestly, that phrase still hits. Because that’s where it all started: building a business to help people like me who were drowning in to-do lists, pressure, and perfectionism. I used to teach structure, routines, and habit stacking (and they work!), but over time, I realized something deeper—our energy matters. Your Sun sign, your Human Design, your emotional bandwidth... it all affects how you show up. And how you shut down. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🧠 The REAL source of overwhelm: too much input + not enough clarity or capacity ♈–♓ How each zodiac sign reacts to overwhelm—and what calms your system back down ⚙️ How each Human Design type handles pressure, burnout, and energy leaks 🔁 A step-by-step strategy to name your overwhelm pattern, decode it using your chart, and build a custom reset ritual ✨ Real-life examples from me (a Leo Sun, Manifesting Generator) and what finally helped me stop trying to “just push through it” This episode is your permission to slow down, check in, and stop thinking you’re broken for feeling overwhelmed. You’re not. You’re just not built for the systems you were handed—and now, you get to build your own. ✨ Want to go deeper and finally build a system that fits you? Join me inside the Cosmic Productivity Method—my 6-month coaching experience where we burn down what’s not working, run personalized experiments, and rebuild systems that actually align with your energy, values, and real life. Doors are open now! ✨ PS: Struggling with a chaotic or inconsistent morning? Sign for 4 weeks of 1:1 Voxer Coaching with —designed to help you build a simple, sustainable, soul-aligned morning routine (without needing a 5am wake-up or a 10-step plan).

128. How Your Sun Sign Can Help You Stop Procrastinating
In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics—procrastination—and what your Sun sign has to do with it. I'm going to scream it until I'm blue in the face: procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s resistance. It’s a nervous system response. It’s your brain saying “something doesn’t feel safe, aligned, or doable.” And when you try to brute force your way through it? You end up spiraling in shame or just re-writing your to-do list 16 times while cleaning your baseboards instead of hitting send on the email. But, as a productivity coach, what I've learned is your Sun sign can give you incredible insight into why you procrastinate—and more importantly, how to get back into momentum. Whether you’re a fiery Aries who loses steam when things get boring, or a dreamy Pisces who needs a softer on-ramp into tasks, this episode will help you decode your procrastination style and personalize your productivity. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why procrastination has nothing to do with laziness—and what it’s really telling you What your Sun sign reveals about your core motivation and friction triggers A rapid-fire breakdown of how each zodiac sign procrastinates (with love and a little roast) Exactly what each sign needs to get unstuck and back into flow—from cozy rituals to bold action to quiet emotional prep A 4-step framework to recognize your procrastination pattern, give yourself what you need, and take tiny, aligned action I’m also sharing real-life examples—including what gets me, a Leo Sun, into motion when I’m dragging my feet—and how I coach my clients to work with their energy instead of against it. This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself and start getting curious. ✨ Want to go deeper and finally build a system that fits you? Join me inside the Cosmic Productivity Method—my 6-month coaching experience where we burn down what’s not working, run personalized experiments, and rebuild systems that actually align with your energy, values, and real life. Doors are open now! Our first call is September 4. Your experiment for the week: Notice your stuck point—what are you procrastinating on right now? Name the pattern—what’s the flavor of your procrastination, and what does your Sun sign say about it? Give yourself the missing energy—motivation, beauty, clarity, comfort… whatever your sign thrives on Take one tiny, aligned action—no perfection required Let me know how it goes, and tag me on IG if you loved this one!

127. How to Create New Routines Using Your Sun Sign
In today’s episode, I’m combining two of my favorite things—routines and astrology—to help you design rhythms that work for your energy, your goals, and your sun sign. You’ve probably been told that you just need more “discipline” to stick to a routine. But what if your routine doesn’t feel good because it wasn’t built for you in the first place? This episode is about using your astrology—specifically your Sun sign—to create routines that are motivating, sustainable, and aligned with how you're naturally wired. I’m sharing real examples, including my own Leo-morning-main-character-energy, plus stories from clients like a grounded Capricorn and a sensual Taurus who both needed wildly different routines (and got incredible results once we made that switch). If you’ve ever tried to copy someone else’s routine and felt like a failure, this one’s for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: The real difference between a habit and a routine—and why routines aren’t supposed to be automatic Why your Sun sign holds the key to making routines that feel natural instead of forced The types of routines you can customize using astrology (and no, it’s not just about your morning routine. My 5-step process for building a routine that aligns with your energy—including how to test and tweak it over time Real client examples of sun-aligned routines for Capricorn and Taurus that helped them feel grounded, energized, and consistent This episode is a mix of behavior science and cosmic self-awareness (my favorite combo), and it's designed to help you take action your way—no rigid templates, no guilt, no one-size-fits-all BS. ✨ Want to go deeper?

126. Astrology for Productivity — What Your Big 3 Says About Your Work Style
In today’s episode, I’m diving into the astrology-meets-productivity conversation that has completely transformed the way I work—and the way I coach. I’m breaking down what your Big 3 (Sun, Moon, and Rising signs) reveal about your motivation, energy, and work style—and how you can actually use that information to redesign your day for more ease, more flow, and more results. This one’s personal. Astrology was my first love way back in middle school, and bringing it into my business feels like coming home.

Whether you’re brand new to astrology or you already know your chart like the back of your hand, this episode will give you tangible ways to use your signs to work smarter and with more joy. In this episode, you’ll learn: What your Sun sign says about your work motivation (and what lights a fire under your ass) Why your Moon sign holds the key to recharging your energy and avoiding burnout How your Rising sign shapes your day-to-day work style and how others perceive your productivity The exact way I structure my day as a Leo Sun, Pisces Moon, Libra Rising working mom—and how you can build your own rhythm based on your chart A mini roast (and a lotta love) for each zodiac sign to help you laugh your way into deeper self-awareness This is the future of productivity—where strategy meets self-understanding. You’re not lazy, flaky, or inconsistent. You just haven’t been working with your energy yet. Let’s change that. ✨ Ready to experiment with your astrology in real life?

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the productivity rules that I had to burn in order to truly feel free and build a life that aligns with my values. I’m sharing my personal journey of how I moved away from hustle culture and redefined what success and productivity really mean for me. As a former productivity and time management coach, I spent years caught in the trap of doing more and more, believing that the only way to succeed was to hustle nonstop. But let me tell you — that mindset led me to burnout, and I knew something had to change.

117. What if Success Didn’t Require Self-Sacrifice?
04/22/2025
117. What if Success Didn’t Require Self-Sacrifice?
Welcome back to The Alchemy Lab, formerly known as From Overwhelmed to Under Control! In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into a topic that has been on my mind for quite a while — why success doesn’t have to require self-sacrifice. As women, especially as moms juggling all the things, we’re often taught that to be “successful” we have to do everything ourselves. But what if we could redefine success without the burnout? In this episode, I’m going to share why it’s time to start embracing self-compassion, setting boundaries, and focusing on our own definition of success — because real strength comes from knowing when to ask for help and when to rest. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why doing it all isn’t the flex you think it is — I share my own experience of trying to solo-parent, run my business, and manage everything while feeling like I was “supposed” to be strong and self-sufficient. How self-sacrifice leads to burnout — We talk about the risks of tying your worth to how much you do and why it can leave you exhausted, unfulfilled, and questioning your purpose. 4 actionable tips to embrace self-compassion and shift your definition of success: Set boundaries: Learn to say no and protect your time and energy. Prioritize yourself: Make time for what you need, guilt-free. Get comfortable with rest: Rest is not a luxury; it’s essential. Align your actions with your values: Ensure what you’re doing supports the life you want. How to start living your own version of success — It’s time to stop living by someone else’s standards and start designing a life that aligns with what truly matters to you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling too much and not getting anywhere, this episode is your permission slip to take a step back, redefine success, and embrace your main character energy.

116. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work (and How to Stop)

116. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work (and How to Stop)
Welcome to the newly rebranded Alchemy Lab! In today’s episode, we dive deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us – why doing it all isn't the flex we think it is. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to manage everything perfectly, juggle multiple responsibilities, and still feel like you're not doing enough, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my personal journey of realizing that strength isn’t about handling everything alone, and how redefining strength and success can completely change how we show up in the world. In this episode, you’ll learn: Redefining Strength: Strength isn’t about doing everything by yourself – it’s about knowing when to ask for help, rest, and embracing vulnerability. Why We Tie Our Worth to Our Work: Society often praises over-functioning, self-sacrifice, and "doing it all." I share how this belief led to burnout and what it took to shift that mindset. Practical Tips to Let Go of the "Do-It-All" Mindset: You’ll get actionable advice on how to embrace rest, delegate, and allow yourself to be imperfect. Redefining Success: It's time to reframe success on your terms – focus on what really matters to you and stop measuring your worth by how much you do. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to constantly hustle, this episode will remind you that your worth is not tied to your productivity, and you don’t need to sacrifice yourself to achieve your goals.

115. Redefining Strong: Why Doing It All Isn’t the Flex You Think It Is
In this episode, I’m getting real about the struggle of being the “strong one” and why doing everything on your own isn’t the true flex. From solo parenting to managing a business and a full life, I share my personal journey of learning that real strength comes from knowing when to ask for help, embrace rest, and let go of perfection. Key Takeaways: Redefining Strength: I talk about how strength isn’t about doing everything alone, but about knowing when to set boundaries, ask for help, and be vulnerable. The Struggle is Real: I share my experience of feeling guilty asking for help while caring for my son while my husband was away for 4-months, even though I had an amazing support system. Practical Tips for Letting Go of the “Do-It-All” Mindset: Schedule rest first – rest is essential, not earned. Delegate one thing this week and ask for help, from anyone! Practice saying “I’m not okay, but I will be,” embracing vulnerability. Let something be imperfect – no need to be Pinterest-perfect. Don’t go through it alone – phone a friend and share the struggle. This episode will speak to you if you're tired of burning the candle at both ends. If you're ready to let go of the "do-it-all" mentality and redefine strength, this episode is for you.
