On this episode, I visit with co-founder Chantelle Friedman about her non-profit organization called Live Inspired 365 and how they are providing hope and help for mental health awareness. Listen in as she shares her heart and mission to help those that need to know they are not alone! 

Chantelle started Live Inspired 365 after losing her Dad to suicide. Her first project was to sell stickers and she used the money she raised to purchase journals for patients in the Behavioral Health Hospital. With the help of her friend Michelle, they have supported and encouraged thousands with their donations & projects, all while sparking meaningful conversations about the importance of mental health.

If you or someone you you love is struggling, please get help! You can call or text "988" to chat with compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress, suicide crisis or substance abuse.

In a world with so much loneliness, we need to prioritize the relationships that matter and keep them top of mind for connection. 
 
When prioritizing relationships, ask yourself 2 questions:
  • Why does this relationship matter to me?
  • How can I be intentional about it? (p.s. Keep it simple yet easy to repeat!)

On this podcast, guest Dave Miller shares about an incredible nonprofit organization called Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Their mission is to make sure no kid has to sleep on the floor. The organization relies on volunteers who are dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need.

There are many ways we can get involved to serve our neighbors and Dave offers lots of ideas, stories and practical ways we can be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. 

Listen in and pause to reflect on how you can serve with Dave or plant a different seed to help serve one another.

Life can be a whirlwind.

That's why I am sharing 2 fantastic hacks for each of the systems I teach on this podcast! 

The best part? You can start using these right away!

Me System:

  • Pick a recharge moment for the week. Find a little pocket of time that's just for you to unwind and recharge, even if it's only for a few minutes!
  • Wake up before your family. Be it 5 minutes or 2 hours, this small change can make a huge difference in setting a positive tone for the day.

Family System: 

  • Plan family meals in advance. Not just the food, but schedule the actual meals. Breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks, all of it! Knowing when it will happen will create a tradition of "togetherness" and be worth a thousand memories!
  • Sync up with your spouse. Initiate a "honey huddle" meeting or conversation with your spouse to discuss calendars, priorities and follow up on important tasks. (Get my free Honey Huddle agenda here!)

Food System:

  • Make your food decisions by 9 am each day. This simple habit will save you time and stress in the long run!
  • Grocery shop once a week. Decide who will shop, where you need to go and make a list of what you need.

Work System:

  • Set aside dedicated blocks of time for work. Decide when you will work and stick to it. Blocking out time ensures you have a clear schedule for maximum productivity.
  • Answer "why" you do your work. Keeping your motivation in mind will help you stay focused and inspired.

Home System:

  • Declutter once a week. Whether it's a drawer or an entire room, taking small, consistent steps will keep your space tidy and organized without overwhelming you.
  • Create a laundry plan that fits your schedule. Whether it's bi-weekly, weekly or daily, decide what DONE looks like and communicate this to your family so they understand and respect your efforts.

Be sure to check out my favorite products for each system!

Let's make life a little less hectic together.
