If only it were that simple.
So often we look at other people, and think they have it all together. Maybe you’ve even thought that about me. (Probably not if you’ve listened to this podcast much.) But who really knows exactly what to do all the time? Whose plans work exactly as planned? So much of life is trying stuff to see if it works…and adjusting when it doesn’t.

As the time got closer, I wondered if I should even go at all. It’s such a long trip, and I’ve been traveling so much lately that I’m pretty worn out. And I’m not crazy about huge crowds either. But in the end I decided to go.
I learned so much there – and it wasn’t really about podcasting.

Not only that, but I’ve been traveling most weeks from CT to NC for business. Add on my music ministry at church and the normal responsibilities of a homeowner and just… well…life, and it’s quite a juggling act.
You may be judging yourself by comparison. You may be asking yourself, “How does she do it all?”
You’ve heard E=mc² and 1+1 = 2. Well, now there’s A+I=P. On this episode you’ll hear why this matters to much to you and your success.

He decided to make sweeping changes to the organization. The effect on me and my team was this: my team was split up between two of my peers, and I was given a newly-created role – Strategic Planning and Process Design.
It sounded like a job title they give someone who they don’t know what to do with and are trying to find a way to get them to leave.
