Episode notes
Block Appointments To Protect Family Priorities
- Create nonnegotiable calendar appointments that protect family priorities, like pick-up days or daily phone-free afternoons.
- Lisa enforces daily 3–5 PM phone-away time and weekly date nights to reduce guilt and be fully present with kids and spouse.
Perfectionism Stops Momentum
- Perfectionism paralyses progress; launching imperfect work produces either results or lessons faster than waiting for perfection.
- Lisa learned to be ruthless about “good enough” after repeatedly delaying product launches due to fear and self-doubt.
Reframe I Can't Do It As Only Natural
- Challenge the thought I can't do it by reframing it as only natural you don't know how yet, then take one learnable step.
- Lisa tells clients it's natural not to know how and uses small experiments and mentorship to build competence.
