24 : Trust yourself while Things Are Still Unfolding

This week, I’m sharing something small that almost changed everything. With a big move coming, I had the opportunity to turn a simple trip into something “productive.” It would’ve made sense. It would’ve felt responsible. But I didn’t. And now that I’m on the other side of it, I can clearly see what that choice gave me—and what I would’ve missed. In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet way planning can keep us from actually living our lives… and how to shift out of that. If you’ve ever felt like you need to have everything figured out before you can enjoy your life, this one is for you. You don’t have to wait until things are settled. You can live your life while it’s still unfolding. ✨ WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY * Why planning can sometimes delay your life instead of move it forward * How to recognize when you’re stuck in “planning mode” * A simple way to shift into action (without overcomplicating things) * Why you don’t need everything figured out to enjoy your life right now 💛 YOUR SMALL STEP Schedule something simple you’ll enjoy this week. ✨Resources + Links: Join [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]The Weekly Note [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]— [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]one simple email each week to help you live with more clarity Instagram: @clearandkindco Website: http://clearandkindco.com/clearandkindco.com [http://clearandkindco.com] Email: christie@clearandkindco.com [christie@clearandkindco.com]

23: Past You Did You a Favor

Sometimes the version of you from a year ago quietly prepares your life for something you can’t see yet. In this episode, Christie shares a personal reflection about how small decisions — clearing out, simplifying, making space — can quietly prepare you for future seasons of life. When big changes come, those small steps often make the moment feel lighter, calmer, and more doable. You don’t have to know every step to move forward. And there’s a good chance the past version of you has already helped more than you realize. ✨ Do This Now : Clear one small area that feels overwhelming. Not the whole house. Just one drawer. The sliverware drawer ? One pile of papers. Or toss the magazines already!! Make life easier for the future version of you who will live there. ✨Resources + Links: Join [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]The Weekly Note [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]— [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]one simple email each week to help you live with more clarity Instagram: @clearandkindco Website: http://clearandkindco.com/clearandkindco.com [http://clearandkindco.com] Email: christie@clearandkindco.com [christie@clearandkindco.com]

22: Today Is the Day energy... it feels so good

After a pause, something interesting often happens. You wake up one morning and suddenly feel ready. Not because you forced yourself. Not because you built the perfect plan. But because something inside you shifted. In this episode, Christie talks about the “today is the day” energy — those moments when readiness appears and the thing you’ve been putting off suddenly feels doable. Usually the spark comes after rest. Sometimes it shows up when you least expect it. The key is recognizing it and following it. Christie shares how this shows up in her own life through projects, creative ideas, and everyday tasks — and how learning to trust that energy can help you move forward without pressure or perfection. Small moments of readiness can move your life forward in ways that matter. ✨ Do This Now : Start a “spark list.” Write down a few small things you’d love to do when the energy shows up. Examples: • Clean out one drawer • Plant a few pots on your porch • Clear the silverware drawer out • Start meal planning for the week • Make an appointment you’ve been putting off Then when the “today is the day” energy shows up — you’ll know exactly where to direct it. ✨Resources + Links: Join [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]The Weekly Note [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]— [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]one simple email each week to help you live with more clarity Email: christie@clearandkindco.com [christie@clearandkindco.com]

21: Stop Pretending You're Fine...and be mad

Many women try to skip the part where they feel hurt, disappointed, or upset. We rush to be “fine.” We try to move on quickly. We tell ourselves it shouldn’t bother us. But when you pretend you're okay before you actually are, it shows up in subtle ways — in your conversations, your relationships, and the way you carry yourself. In this episode, Christie talks about why honesty with yourself is the first step toward real peace. When you allow yourself to acknowledge what you're truly feeling, you stop showing up disconnected and start moving toward acceptance and change. Honesty isn’t the problem. Pretending is. And when you stop pretending, things begin to shift. ✨ Do This Now : Name the feeling you've been trying to skip. Angry. Hurt. Disappointed. Annoyed. Confused. Just name it. No fixing. No solving. No changing it. Simply be honest with yourself about what is real right now. ✨Resources + Links: Join [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]The Weekly Note [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]— [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]one simple email each week to help you live with more clarity Instagram: @clearandkindco Website: http://clearandkindco.com/clearandkindco.com [http://clearandkindco.com] Email: christie@clearandkindco.com [christie@clearandkindco.com]

20:When You Take a Pause (and Why It's Okay)

A pause is not failing. It’s not falling off the plan. It’s not a setback. It’s simply being a woman with a full, beautiful life. In this episode, Christie shares how to return to your goal after a natural pause — without shame and without explaining. You’ll learn why pausing is normal, why consistency is really about returning, and how to re-enter your plan with tiny, doable steps that build self-trust. ✨Resources + Links: Join [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]The Weekly Note [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]— [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/ektq40h3n6]one simple email each week to help you live with more clarity Waitlist for The 6-Week CGM Glucose Reset [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/mvqyelf0pf] Waitlist for The Next Version of You [https://clearandkind.myflodesk.com/w13n2t744x] Instagram: @clearandkindco Website: http://clearandkindco.com/clearandkindco.com [http://clearandkindco.com] Email: christie@clearandkindco.com [christie@clearandkindco.com]
