Coming in hot for 2025 with a little tough love - if you’ve ever thought, “Systems just don’t work for me”, hate to break it to you, babe, but it might not be the system… it might be you. 😏

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• The real reason your systems feel broken (hint: it’s not the tool)
• Why jumping between platforms isn’t the solution (and what is)
• How to instantly tweak your systems to make them work for you
• The one habit that will make or break your productivity

If you’ve been blaming Asana, Notion, or any other platform for your lack of consistency, it’s time for a reality check—and a reset. This episode will give you the fixes you need to stop the cycle of chaos and actually make your systems work for you.
