What if you could intentionally edit out the parts of your life that feel overwhelming?

In today’s episode, we explore how the process of “editing your life” can transform your daily experience, helping you connect more deeply with yourself and those around you.

Elisabeth McKetta is an expert on creating space for what matters most. Through her “3 Es” framework, she invites us to examine, edit, and enjoy our lives in a way that brings clarity, growth, and generosity to every day.

We discuss her approach to teaching children an “edited mindset” and organizing life in “orbits”—a unique framework from her book Edit Your Life that helps us honor daily, weekly, and seasonal priorities.

Here’s what we dive into:

• Practical ways to examine your life, envision what it could be,& make edits to invite clarity and growth.
• Teaching our children to connect with their values and learn to simplify and prioritize with joy.
• How to manage your daily, weekly, and seasonal needs allowing space for the essentials without overwhelm.

Tune in to discover how Elisabeth’s approach to intentional living can help you reconnect with your own sense of awe and bring more ease, presence, and joy into every day.

Exhaustion, overwhelm, and that constant edge? They all trace back to one key factor.

Here’s the thing: burnout recovery isn’t about bubble baths, wine nights, or slapping a cute affirmation on your vision board.

It’s about getting to the root of what’s got you stuck—and spoiler alert—it’s not your productivity skills or lack of willpower.

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, we’re diving into the missing link to burnout recovery: your nervous system.

Turns out, most of those burnout symptoms—like exhaustion, overwhelm, and that “I can’t even” feeling—stem from a dysregulated nervous system stuck in survival mode.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• 💡 Why burnout isn’t just about being “too busy” (hint: it’s deeper than that).
• 🧠 How chronic stress rewires your nervous system—and not in a good way.
• 🎒 The “backpack of stress rocks” analogy you’ll never forget and how it’s affecting your energy, focus, and mood.
• ✨ The lightbulb moment: Why regulating your nervous system is the game-changer you’ve been looking for.

Plus, I’ll share a sneak peek into my brand-new Nervous System Reset Guide—a 20-page resource packed with tools to help you assess your burnout, regulate your system, and feel more grounded. Grab your free guide using the link below and start making small, sustainable shifts today.
