Being Better Everyday Podcast
Welcome to the Being Better Everyday podcast. I’m your host, Julie Wenzlick, a millennial mom, finance professional and founder of PNW Designs. I know that as a mom, business owner, corporate girly or a combination of all three like myself, sometimes life can feel like a lot days can feel like they speed by from one required activity to another, where you sit down at the end of the day and go, What the heck just happened? It’s time to change that. It’s time to feel alive in your life. I’ve spent the better part of the last five years learning and being intentional about working on myself, awakening my life, and learning how I need to grow. Those intentional action steps were a lot. I learned a lot. I studied a lot and I tried and failed. For me, my teens and 20s were hard. My 30s is for growth and for believing in my work. Being better every day isn’t about negativity for where you are or where you’ve been. It’s about choosing you, choosing happiness and choosing to live a life with intention. Through this podcast, we will explore the habits, routines and systems that craft the vision you want for your life without the overwhelming chaos of the everyday. I do not believe in the hustle. I believe in creating systems to support your life that you desire while supporting also your mental health. I’m about taking small steps every day. I want you to feel alive, happy, fulfilled and peaceful. The cornerstone of the Being Better Everyday podcast are the five Daily Habits movement. 30 Move your body intentionally for 30 minutes a day, tidy 15 Tidy up a space in your home for 15 minutes a day. One thing for you do one thing for you every day. Thankful 24 which is show gratitude each day for something that happened in the last 24 hours and your daily big three, your top three productivity focus items for the day. These habits can set the foundation for simplicity and systems to own your every day. Have you ever felt a passion for something outside of your career or as a mom but were unsure of how you could build it on the side we’ve ever felt like you wanted more intention around your days instead of just moving mindlessly from one task to another. Have you ever felt like there wasn’t room in your day to put you first? I’m here to unpack it all and how systems can help you be better. What does time blocking really look like in your season of life? What does presence look like for your family? What do healthy and sustainable habits have to do with your mental health? How does human design recycle and your Enneagram impact your productivity? I am on a mission to say goodbye to your overwhelm while helping you create a life that you feel like you’ve chosen. I’m so glad you found me. Let’s get started. Hit, follow and look forward to a high quality episodes on a biweekly basis. One last thing. You will hear me say it. Grab your headphones and put on the shoes at the beginning of each episode. Here’s a secret just for those who listen to the trailer. It’s because walking is a great, simple, foundational habit that not only gets your movement in, but centers your nervous system. And I found it to be a great tool in my life. So grab those headphones, lace up those shoes, and tune in to the Being Better Everyday podcast. Connect with Julie: https://www.pwplanners.com/
