When I left nursing, it wasn’t to work more hours somewhere else.
I left because I wanted time freedom in business—and I meant it.

From day one, I promised myself I wouldn’t trade one kind of burnout for another.

Here’s how I protect my time, keep my stress low, and still grow my business in a way that fits my life.

I Build My Calendar Around the Life I Want

Every year, the first things that go on my calendar are:
📆 Birthdays
📆 Holidays
📆 Trips
📆 Anniversaries

Google has them set to repeat yearly, and each day is marked busy all day.
Nothing gets booked over them—ever. Not by accident. Not because someone else needs me.

When I worked in the hospital, getting a day off was a fight. Now, it’s non-negotiable.

Why Most Women Are Working Harder Than They Need To

I see this all the time—women working harder than they have to because they’re not using their tools to make life easier.

• Your calendar can make you the priority in your day.
• Your email list can be scheduled ahead, so you stay in touch with clients even on vacation.
• An online booking link can let customers schedule themselves without endless back-and-forth.

These small automations free up hours, lower stress, and keep you connected without being “on” 24/7.

The Ripple Effect of Protecting Your Time Freedom

Blocking off this time and setting up these systems has made me more focused in my business, not less.

✅ My stress stays low
✅ My health stays a priority
✅ My business grows—because I’m showing up from a place of energy, not exhaustion
