ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Today, we’re revisiting a conversation I had with my dear friend, Emily Ley a couple years ago. We’re talking about super busy seasons of life, and how we can bring some order to the chaos!

Emily is the founder of Simplified, a brand of planners and organizational tools for busy women. Her newest book, Sure as the Sunrise is 100 daily meditations on God’s mercy and delight to greet each morning with hope and joy. Along with being an author and entrepreneur, she’s also a wife, a mama of three kids, a friend, a woman of faith and so much more. 

She truly does it all and in this episode I pick her brain on how she makes it all happen! (And the quick answer to that question is, “She doesn’t do it alone!)

Here are just a few of the things she’s going to share about in the episode:

  • How to structure our days to make everything run more smoothly 

  • What tools and resources have been most helpful for keeping her schedule organized  

  • How to figure out what to say no to

  • How to prioritize what’s most important in your life, your family's life, and in your business’s life

  • And how to stay consistent in your faith when life feels really busy


If you’re feeling stressed out with a busy schedule, or just want to make your everyday life a little easier and more efficient, Emily’s tried-and-true systems are going to be a game-changer for you!
