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.

What if your pace isn’t the problem? A conversation on reclaiming capacity with Cindy Hoch

In this episode, I’m joined by Cindy Hoch—coach, facilitator, and holistic time practitioner—who shares what it means to rebuild your relationship with time from the inside out.

We talk about:

  • how gentle curiosity changed the way she relates to herself and her clients

  • what it means to honor realistic capacity

  • the daily practice of softening the inner judgment and meeting yourself with grace

  • how parenting, business, and time aren’t separate but part of the same ecosystem

  • and why slowing down doesn’t mean doing less

If you’re a coach, healer, or space holder who wants to help your clients navigate shame, burnout, and capacity with clarity, care, and integrity, this episode is for you.

How do we help our clients follow through (especially if we struggle with it ourselves)?

If you support others through change—whether as a coach, healer, or guide—you’ve probably felt the ache when a client struggles with something you’re still navigating too.

In this episode, we explore what follow-through actually requires when we step outside dominant narratives of discipline and willpower. I share the core concepts I teach around following through without shame, hustle, or self-abandonment.

We’ll also explore what’s truly ours to hold as space holders when it comes to accountability.
