In this episode, Mystie Winckler sits down with Amie Garner, a wife, homeschool mom of 5, and long-time member of Convivial Circle. Amie shares her inspiring journey from being a daydream planner stuck in perfectionism to becoming a doer who embraces progress over perfection.

Together, they discuss:
✅ How perfectionism holds us back (and how to overcome it).
✅ The power of interval planning to create sustainable routines.
✅ Why taking baby steps—even when it feels too slow—leads to real change.
✅ How to adjust your plans with life’s unpredictable seasons.

Amie’s transformation is a testament to the value of starting small, sticking with it, and giving yourself grace along the way. If you’re overwhelmed by clutter, routines, or unrealistic expectations, this conversation will inspire you to stop daydreaming and start doing.
