2019-2025 Archival Note:

This is an archive of my body of work (blog and Not Too Productive podcast) from 2019 to 2025.

As much as I’ve wanted to toss it all in the trash, I believe it matters to show the ideas and experiments that carried me to this moment, and to mark how things, and we, change.

Through my years as The Holistic Time Coach, it became clear that the time I was talking about (a more spacious, humane, cyclical time) wasn’t the same time most people knew. Most of us are still living inside clock time, capitalist time, productivity time.

Now I’m writing about Time Liberation here.

If you see something here that you disagree with, I may… probably… agree with you. That’s part of why it’s now an archive.

How do I know I’m spending my time on the right things in business?

Many purpose-driven folks wonder if they’re wasting time, especially when it feels like you’re working hard but nothing’s really moving. If you’ve been caught in that spiral of questioning it all, you’re not alone. This piece explores why that feeling shows up so often, what it might really be pointing to, and how to reframe “wasting time” into something much more compassionate, embodied, and aligned with how your business actually works.

"Do I still want to be a coach?" A reset for space-holders

So many thoughtful, values-aligned coaches reach a quiet breaking point: Do I even want to keep doing this? This piece explores how time shame, hustle culture, and unrealistic expectations disconnect us from our purpose—and how that questioning can actually be a turning point, not a failure. For space-holders navigating doubt, disorientation, or exhaustion, this is an invitation to slow down, rechoose your path, and build something sustainable on your own terms.

How a near-death experience changed me

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of a recent near-death experience. I share the story of what happened and the profound lesson it left me with — that the closer we are to death, destruction, and loss, the closer we also are to feeling alive, awake, and open to joy. This is an intimate reflection on mortality, presence, and what it means to truly live.

I don't want to be a time management coach anymore

I don’t want to be a time management coach anymore. In this episode, I share why the title no longer fits, what I want to focus on moving forward, and how my work is shifting toward helping people break free from scarcity-driven, exploitative, and toxic relationships with time.
