Hey you! If you’re anything like I used to be, you’ve caught yourself saying, “I don’t know where my time goes.” Time management and productivity aren't taught in school, so if you're struggling with either, don't feel bad!

If you want to make that stop, once and for all, today’s episode is for you.    I’m going to share four steps you need to take to identify the holes in your schedule. Following this formula will lead you to the lightbulb moments that illuminate where in the world your time is really going, and what to do about it. This episode is sure to help you improve your personal time management and boost productivity, especially after understanding how much time you actually spend on your tasks.   This is a tactical one, so grab a notebook and a pen. Let’s go!   ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️   This is all part of a larger system that I naturally incorporate into my life. If you’re disorganized, operating on a neverending to-do list and overwhelmed the busyness of your life, you are exactly who I want to hang out with on January 25th during my live training, Productivity Beyond The Planner.   Systems and all things time management might not be your forte, but they’re mine, and I’m going to teach you where to begin….

The Holy Spirit has prompted me to speak about rest. As believers, we can be tempted to believe that rest is optional, especially when things become busy. We worry about taking time to rest. We worry about slowing down. We worry about taking that tactical pause because we worry about all the things we still have to do. So, today, I want to speak to the root of your issue and help you shift your perspective. I want you to walk in freedom and grow deeper in your relationship with the Lord. You ready? Let’s go!   ✨ ✨   Your to-do list will not take you far in life. In fact, unless you have systems in place, you will quickly find yourself burnt out, overwhelmed and ready to tap out. But what systems should you even bother to create? Where do you start?   I’m sharing the three CORE systems you need in order to be more productive, stress less and have time for what matters most; and I’m sharing it all in a live training I'm hosting on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 2PM EST!

What up, sis! I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but your to-do list is actually NOT contributing to improving your time management or productivity. Instead, it’s making you anxious and contributing to the overwhelm. In this episode, I’ll share WHY that’s the case, and I’ll give you a mindset reframe to help you think about how to remedy this situation.    Before we get into it, don’t forget to register for my FREE training, Productivity Beyond The Planner!

Welcome back! I'm talking about mindset today because you cannot improve in time management or productivity if you don't first shift your mindset. Trust me, if this wasn't necessary, I wouldn't bother. I'm the FIRST person to say, "just give me the step-by-step." HOWEVER, it's not all about WHAT you're doing... it's more about HOW YOU'RE THINKING about what you're doing.    The truth is, you can’t see sustainable change or improvements in your productivity and time management without first shifting your mindset.   It’s time to stop thinking about things in a way that leads to stress and overwhelm… Are you ready to shift your mindset with me? Let’s do it!   🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨   Are you ready to create the productivity systems & habits that put God first, reduce overwhelm and actually work, join me in a live training I'm hosting on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 2PM EST!

Happy New Year! Have you ever gone through something and, when you look back at it, you’re like, “wow, that was hard.” Yep, that was 2023… for A LOT of us! Well, after connecting with a lot of women inside The Community, including some past and current clients, I KNOW it was hard to focus this year with most of the complaints centering around being so busy, feeling unprepared and just being scatterbrained. If you’re anything like me, and I think you are, you HATE feeling unprepared and get really frustrated when you feel scatterbrained. Today, I’m highlighting WHY you were suffering from these symptoms and 3 things you can do to remedy that, so you’re more productive and less overwhelmed in 2024. This is a time management and productivity focused episode that you don't want to skip! Grab a notebook, because I think you’re going to want to write some stuff down!   Learn how to prioritize using the Covey Quadrants (also called the Eisenhower Matrix) here: Episode 20: What’s Making Me Anxious?!

What is up, sister friend! As I was reflecting on everything I shared this past Tuesday, including the time management tips and productivity strategies that helped me get to new levels in 2023, I also reflected on the things that held me back in 2023... I realized these limiting beliefs are the very lies my clients (and even my friends!) subscribed too.   There are TWO limiting beliefs that I really believe need to be left behind in 2023. They aren’t overtly negative, but they can lead to negative habits and feed the cycle of overwhelm you're so desperately trying to end.   So, if you’ve struggled to master time management, boost your productivity and truly prioritize what’s important to you, this episode is for you. I know your productivity will skyrocket and you'll become so much better at time management when you leave these two limiting beliefs behind. Ready? Let’s go!   🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨   Are you ready to create the productivity systems & habits that put God first, reduce overwhelm and actually work, join me in a live training I'm hosting on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 2PM EST!

Hey, Sis!  This month, we’re diving into a special Bible study series where I’ll be reading and teaching through the book of Philippians. Since so many of the women who listen to this podcast make their way into The Community, we get to hear about the main struggles you have when it comes to time management and Bible study. The main problem is making time for God’s Word! So, after praying about The Community and The Podcast, the Lord made it clear that I was to lead a study ON the podcast vs. inside The Community; and the book He showed me I needed to teach from was Philippians. Tune in to a weekly study on this New Testament Epistle for this month of September. I pray this blesses you and speaks to you right where you are.  FREE RESOURCE: Join the FIRST annual RENEWED Conference on November 6 to 10, 2023!

What's up, Sis! Are you aware that you are missing out on God's blessings by keeping your schedule so tight and perfect?

I pray that this blesses you and that you glean so much from it.  Featured Guest: Brandy Coffin is a wife, follower of Jesus, homeschool mom, and time management coach.

Her blog Simple by Emmy chronicles her journey to a simpler and more intentional life. Her free resources, including 50 Questions Minimalists Ask, will help you focus on what matters most. Emily helps overwhelmed moms of young children define what matters, eliminate what doesn’t, and automate the rest in her podcast Moms Overcoming Overwhelm. She is also the author of the children’s book Little One and enjoys writing custom poetry, dancing, and eating peanut butter out of the jar. Connect with Emily!

Hey, Sista-friend! Are you ready for quick little boundaries 101 bootcamp? In Today’s episode, I’m giving you a quick tutorial on what boundaries to set and when to set them, so you can improve in the area of time management, be more productive and kick overwhelm to the curb. Get ready for mindset reframes and tactical takeaways. Let’s do it.

I will continue to use the tools she walked me through in everyday life, especially when life gets messy and blurred. I know I can always hit a reset. I am no longer sending my time scrolling social media as a stress reliever. The time blocking helps me fit tasks into my day without having to be frazzled by a quick shuffle of events.

Have you ever heard that verse, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also?” Well, I have this theory that this applies to how we manage ourselves within the 24 hours available to us each day. Today, I want to answer the question: What does your time management say about what you treasure? I’m doing that by walking through a short study of this powerful verse from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. So, grab your bible, journal, and pen, because we are digging in! Featured Review: Beautiful!

Hey sista friends! Is your busy schedule affecting your Bible study time? I was reading through the responses we received from members of The Community and found a common theme was that time management was affecting the amount of time many of you are able to invest in your Bible study time. It reminded me that this is exactly why the Lord has me doing this work. So, how do we even start protecting that precious, transformative time in God’s Word if we have so many things on our to-do lists? Today, I’m sharing my favorite verse for setting boundaries around your quiet time and, honestly, setting boundaries around any time! You’re going to want your Bible and whatever other study tools you have for this one, so go get that because we are getting after it in 3, 2, 1… let’s go.  Featured Review: Biblical truth for everyday life!

Hola friends! Raise your hand if you feel like your busy schedule is kicking your heiny. Listen, I know what that’s like to have one task or activity bleeding into the next…to have no downtime…no time to think…just go, go go. It’s really tiring and overwhelming, not to mention, super stressful. It also contributes to those feelings of anxiety and defeat because, despite your best efforts, you just don’t get everything done. If you’ve been asking the Lord to help get rid of the anxiety and just figure out how to make all this craziness stop, this episode is for you. Today, I’m going to shoot you straight and reveal the REAL reason you don’t feel accomplished each day, even when you do everything “right.” Are you ready? Let’s do it!

Hey, friends! In our last episode, I shared 4 ways you can reduce your to-do list by 50% and one of those ways was to set boundaries. I gave you a permission slip to say no to others’ asking you to take on more; and even to yourself when it comes to being distracted. The thought of setting boundaries might trigger negative feelings for you and I want to be sensitive to that. So, today, I pose the question: should you feel guilty about setting boundaries? To answer this question, I am sharing 3 verses that will help you think through this, so you respond truthfully and in a God-honoring way Grab your Bible, highlighter, and a pen… let’s do it!

Hey, sis! Today I’m speaking to those of you who feel like your to-do list is taking over your life. I know that to-do lists are really helpful and they’re a very needed piece of our time management systems. However, they can also become little idols in our hearts. Why is that? Well, I think it’s because we worry so much about what we’ve yet to cross off those to-do lists. So much of the energy spent thinking about them take from the energy needed to create a system to get all that done without the overwhelm. So, today I’m sharing 4 ways to reduce your to-do list by up to 50%. It might sound impossible, but if you really challenge yourself to follow my lead here, I have faith it can happen. So, what do you say? Ready to do less? Let’s go! Featured Review: Wonderful Podcast! "Love the work that God uses Erika for!

Hey sista-friends! Do you work well under pressure? Do you think you do your best work when you procrastinate? I don’t know if you know this, sis, but sometimes, even the best plans fail to be executed effectively and STILL lead to last-minute efforts. So, today, I’m posing the question: when you actually walk out your plans, are your efforts profitable, or do they lead to poverty?

What’s up, sister friends?! Are you craving rest for your soul? We are coming out of the holiday season and, if you’re anything like me, anxiety and overwhelm are the other side of the coin during this busy time. Sure, we love being with family and celebrating Jesus’ birth. However, we can be tempted to do a lot in a short period of time, which leaves so little room for REST or even just space to be still. If you feel like you’re running on fumes and struggling to feel PEACE, this episode is for you. I have three verses to share today. I pray you take some extra time to meditate on them and study them because I know they will help you shift your perspective. Are you ready? Grab your Bible, journal, and pen; and let’s do it.

Friends! Happy New Year! Are you ready to reduce overwhelm in 2023?! I know I am! In today’s episode, I want to give you a different angle on entering the new year. You may have heard of choosing a word for the new year and I know you’ve heard of choosing a new year’s resolution. I’ve done both and continue to choose a word for each year. Last year, I chose a verse for the first time. I want to share with you WHY this is powerful…. WHAT this can lead to…. HOW this can help you reduce anxiety AND improve your time management skills. If you struggle with time management, setting boundaries, or are in the habit of overcommitting, this is an activity you definitely benefit from participating in. You CAN get more done, focus on what matters, and keep Christ at the center of it all; and today’s episode is helping you build a foundation to do just that. Grab a notebook, a pen, and your Bible because we are digging right in! Featured Review: It’s all about shifting perspective!! "Merry Christmas and Happy New year🥳 Thank you Erika for your biblical guidance these past 4 months! I found you because I resonated with the photo of you. You had a beautiful bald head, much like my own at the time. So I clicked, just to check it out. From there I fell in love with your content that actually had really nothing to do with any sort of cancer, which was a relief. Thank you for reminding me and your listeners that we are not our anxiety, we are not our fears, and we are not our diagnosis. Thank you for teaching me how to take an inventory of my days, so that I can manage my day better before the overwhelm sets in. This podcast is fun and exciting, keep it going until God says that it is finished. You continue to serve God within your service to others.

It was a good one that I don't want you to miss it. What is high-functioning anxiety? How is it different from clinical anxiety? What must one do if you are experiencing it? These are just among the thoughtful questions I asked Dr. Lisa which she answered powerfully.

Are you worried about your physical appearance? Do you associate your acceptability and lovability with a number on a scale or a size in pants? Are you wondering if looks and body image matter in life? To answer those questions, I sat down to chat with Carla Arges about body image. Despite the enemy's attempt to disrupt the internet connection and stop the convo, the Holy Spirit spoke through this beautiful and wise woman. In this episode, Carla shares her testimony. Her struggles with body image showed that the enemy was using her own body to distract her from doing the kingdom work the Lord was leading her to focus on. She shares her experience as a testimony to God’s faithfulness. She offers wisdom that will empower you to stop giving into the enemy’s schemes and start doing the mighty work the Lord prepared for you to do. I pray this blesses you. Featured Guest: Carla Arges is a wellness coach and host of Affirming Truths Podcast. She was an overwhelmed mom, wife, Christian, and a woman battling a mood disorder and a painful past. And boy, was she lacking in joy and purpose! Through her journey, she has discovered how to thrive with mental illness and grow in her faith.

ONE YEAR ON THE PODCAST?! I could cry! Can you even believe it? A year ago, I launched this thing and Joren, who was sent from HEAVEN (for real!), did all the behind-the-scenes work to bring this goal to life! There were some moments when I needed help and would just pray to the Lord to carry me… to guide me… to help me do the thing He was leading me to do. In those moments of anxiety or discouragement… when I was too deep in the weeds and needed a boost of confidence or encouragement… a review would pop up or a message would come through. YOU are WHY this entire project has been such a HUGE blessing. So today, I’m going to take a little bit to share some encouragement, a little bit of backstory, and, hopefully, surprise you with something special. Thank you for being here! This is for you!

What's up, friend? Are you anxious about doing something that God has asked you to do because you feel unequipped? Today, I am sharing three tools the enemy is using to make you anxious and keep you from carrying out the good works the Lord has prepared for you to do. Some of you are losing the spiritual battle when it comes to some of this, specifically because some of the things we think are normal are just disordered behavior patterns that are COMMON. Common and normal are not the same, which makes these 3 things all the more dangerous. So, worry no more because I will not only identify these tools, but I'll also give you three Bible passages (short stories) to motivate and encourage you to fight back. I pray this blesses you!

What's up, sister? If you struggle to calm your anxiety (like me sometimes!), let's stop and talk for a while. I know how it feels to be anxious.

Hey, sis! What is your relationship like with your parents? Are there any hurt feelings your parents have caused you?

Have you ever been in a relationship where you were continuously trying to please the other and even compromising your morals? How about those relationships that trigger your anxiety or strain you? Biblically, there are two kinds of relationship: first is vertical, your relationship with God, and the second is horizontal, your relationship with other people. This episode focuses on the horizontal relationship, which is the relationship with others. I have four journal prompts for you that will help you create healthy relationships that honor God.

Have you ever wondered how you can have a better relationship with God, even if you haven't received an answer to your prayer? Even if you struggle with anxiety, or if you have a hard time letting go of control and trusting God's sovereignty? One of the things that prevent us from having a beautiful relationship with God is that we rely too much on our own limited experiences without a true understanding of who God is. In today’s episode, I share with you some of God's attributes and point you back to Scripture to back it all up, so you can be in the right relationship with Him and take the steps to know Him better, seek Him more, and surrender to Him.

"She is a more patient wife... a better mom... so much more fit than I am." Have you ever compared yourself to someone else and felt anxiety, doubt, or sorrow? How about this question... Have you ever compared yourself to someone else and felt better about yourself? There are times when we look at others and think that their sin is worse than ours. The truth is, all sin separates us from God, which makes all sin equally terrible. In this episode, I explore how comparisons feed anxiety and go in-depth with Galatians 6:1-5.

Summer is right around the corner - longer days, more sunshine, beaches, and BBQs. For some, summer means more opportunities to have fun, while others find summer as a source of anxiety. If the thought of summer makes you anxious because you fear whether or not you will be "summertime fine" or have a "summer body" that will be worthy of being seen in a bathing suit, this episode is for you. Today, I have a quick pep talk with you and give you a couple of tips on how to end the vicious cycle of anxiety around your “summer bod.” This isn’t a “how-to” for “biblical weight-loss.” It’s the opposite.

Hey, sistaaa girl! A question for you: Is your silent struggle with shame resulting in anxiety? Shame and anxiety are two words I do not often see in the same sentence. So I wonder, does the shame some people carry affect their wellness to the point where it produces anxiety in them? If you have ever dealt with shame and carried the burden of your past, even after being born again and washed clean by Jesus, this episode is for you. Today, let's talk about what it looks like when you are still carrying the weight of your foolishness and how it is connected to the anxiety you are struggling with. Plus, let's look at Psalm 74 and receive the wisdom God so freely gives through a brief study of His Word. Grab your Bible, journal, pen, and let's do it!

Do you know that anxiety reveals the conditions of your heart? There are so many ways we can justify anxious thoughts but the bottom line is it always points back to your heart. So, if you are still struggling with anxiety, here are three things that anxiety is telling you about the condition of your heart, and how to move on from them with God's word and intentional design for you in mind. I hope that this episode is an opportunity for you to reflect, check your heart, and point it toward God the giver of all grace.

Is anxiety a sin? This is an important question since many people experience anxiety. I, for one, have spent a lot of time pondering this question. I even avoid discussing this topic because I too struggled with anxiety. So, in this episode, I give you an introduction to a very loaded question and super sensitive topic. I'm going to talk about whether or not anxiety is a sin. I pray this episode, which only scratches the surface on this topic, helps you to start considering the question from a biblical perspective and leads you into deeper fellowship with the Lord.

Have you ever felt anxious just thinking about having to spend time with someone you love? Spending time with someone who is always negative, critical, or unkind can, over time, increase your stress and anxiety, and reduce the level of your happiness. The situation is especially hard if the person is a family member or a close friend. I've been there, and the thought alone reminds me of all the complex and layered emotions I have to deal with. It's a lot. So today we're going to unpack that a little bit and look at these situations from a biblical perspective, so we can navigate them in a way that honors the Lord.

Hey, sisters! Good Friday is a day to remember the mercy God showed by not sparing his son. It is because of this that we are spared.

Are you guilty of procrastinating? Me, too. Perhaps, at some point, you have asked yourself, “why do I procrastinate so much?”. I have procrastinated in the past. While I still do it now, I do less than I did when I was younger because I am more aware of it now. In other words, I am not immune to procrastinating. So girl, as much as this episode is for you, it's for me too! Also, I have a few journal prompts to help you in the process of peeling back layers. I hope this blesses you. Grab a notebook, a pen, and let's dig in! Journal Prompts: Get to the bottom of why you’re feeling so crummy about this particular task.

Hey, sister girl! Are you guilty of people-pleasing? If you feel guilty about saying no... if you're worried about what others think... or if you feel bad for standing up for yourself, chances are, you are a people-pleaser. So, here's a BIG word for you: Sometimes you need to say no to people, so you can say yes to God! Today, we're digging into the topic of people-pleasing and spending time in Paul's letter to the Galatians, with a special focus on Galatians 1:10 to answer the question, "from whom do we seek approval?"

Life can be difficult. With so many obligations, it is easy to become overwhelmed and anxious. When you have so much to handle, anxiety and stress are your recurring themes. There are times when you lose yourself in the daily grind. There are also times when doubts and confusion set in, and you are sidetracked from your goals. If any of the above sounds like you, I've got a question for you: Do you need a life coach!? Today's episode is a very straightforward conversation. As someone who runs a life coaching business, this is not the type of conversation I should be having. But, more than a life coach, I'm a daughter of the King and your sister in Christ; and my mission is to point you back to what matters most. I pray this episode blesses you!

Have you ever heard of the line, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”?

Does anxiety prevent you from serving others? Do your worries or fears paralyze you or plague you just enough to convince you that you aren’t supposed to or aren’t qualified to bless others with your gifts or talents? Sometimes, we are the ones impeding our growth and choosing to appeal to our flesh instead of walking in obedience to the Lord.

What is making you anxious? Is it sickness, or death, or your family's safety, or the mounting bills, or the uncertainty of the future? Does that stress cause you to act out of character? Being a Christian does not exempt us from anxiety-causing circumstances. Even David, a man after God’s own heart, who was told repeatedly not to fear, was not anxiety-free. Today, l dig into Psalm 34:1-4. We’ll see how David acted out of character because he was in survival mode, and how he was delivered from his fears.

Hey sistaaa girl, a question for you: what do you crave when you're feeling anxious? Do you crave attention when you feel anxious? Or is it food, hugs, or cuddles that you crave?

If you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety and in the habits that feed it after it has passed, this episode is for you. I pray that this will help you uncover how you respond to anxiety, so you can get rid of anxiety's strongholds.
