Welcome back to another episode of the Systemize Her podcast. This episode is going to be probably a long one, I'm not even going to lie to you. When I was writing my outline, I was like, oh girl, this is getting long, but I hope that it's going to be really entertaining. This episode is so special because it is my birthday in a couple of days. So at the time of this recording, my birthday will be on Monday, March 3rd. So, I am preparing for a birthday party that I'm hosting at my house to celebrate year 32. So I'm really excited about celebrating my birthday coming up in March and then this is also going to be our season two finale episode. So, the podcast is wrapping up for the season, and I've got something super special for you, so I am going to talk about all of those things here today in our episode. I really wanted to kind of reflect on all of the things I wanted to celebrate with something super fun that I put together for you. specifically for this time. And then I really just wanted to kind of give you guys a overview of some things that you can look out for when the podcast returns some stuff that I'm working on and having fun with in business later this year, some opportunities, there's just all kinds of stuff. Rolled into this episode, so I really hope that you enjoy it. I know that you will. And so, I don't want the intro to get any longer because, like I said, the episode itself is going to be super long. So, let's pay some bills really quick and then we'll get into the episode.

Y'all know I don't gatekeep, so I've got a little secret to share and it is called Moxie. It's been a complete game changer for managing my business this year. It's a powerful, easy to use platform that'll have your business running like a dream. I'm so in love with it that I'm using it for all of my system builds next year. The best part? I've secured a code so that you can try it for free for an entire month.

Alright, so we're back. So, this year, 2025, I am really, really excited. Just, I feel like there has been a fire that has been lit in me, and I'm just really, really excited to get going. So, I know, like, around birthdays, some people kind of get bummed about getting older. Like, they're looking and they're like, oh, things have changed, my body's changed, this thing, whatever. these new things have changed. For me, I never really stress about getting older. I just feel like every year I get better. Things get better for me every single year. And I don't know if it's because I have that outlook, so I feel like everything is better. Maybe I'm just a little de lulu. So I'm like, yeah, everything's great. And maybe it's not, but I feel like it is. So I'm going to roll with that. I'm really excited just to enter, like, a whole brand new season. So, most of you know my story but just as a quick recap, after becoming a new mom and losing my own mom all within a year, and having, like, a traumatic relationship surrounding my son and everything, between 2020 and, like, 2022, it was really about just, like, catching my breath again. My entire life was turned upside down in a way that it had never had before and it really took like those two years to even start to get back to a piece of myself and to like get myself together. And so I feel like 2020 through 2022 was really just me like coming up for air and just trying to breathe. After that, so between 2022 and probably up until last year, I really was just focusing on me. So once I got my feet planted firmly on the ground again, I was really just trying to get back into my routines, finding what made me happy again, what I wanted out of life trying new things in business, exploring the idea of even like dating again and having new relationships and all of that stuff. I feel like all of that kind of. Is where I have been in just this who am I, and where am I going in life, what is it that I want, kind of an experience. So, that has been really fun to just get to know myself again, to like rediscover me after losing myself for so long. And, I feel like I'm in a really good place as it pertains to that, so last year my word of the year, I pick a word every year and last year my word was big, and I felt like it really was a big year for me in a very quiet way, so not the way that I imagined I usually like pray on my word quite a bit and pray for clarity surrounding that and just some direction as it pertains to it. And so that is the word that kept coming up for me last year, but when I was imagining it and when I was receiving it, I was thinking a lot of other things and not the way that things kind of transpired. But I. It definitely felt like it was a big year. I just grew a lot, I changed a lot, and I made a lot of really big internal shifts in the way that I move in my personal life especially, but outside of that, in my business as well. Those big changes were definitely needed, but honestly, with growth and change in such a big way, I was I was super exhausted as I wrapped up the year. I felt like, energy wise, like I was depleted, but not in a bad way. Like I'm saying exhausted and depleted and all that, that sounds negative, but it was kind of like when you worked out really hard and you finish your workout and you're like exhausted, but at the same time you're like, hell yeah, I did that. I am going to be so strong, I'm going to be so sexy, I'm going to have these great muscles, like, you're kind of motivated. That is the same way that I felt about wrapping up 2024. I felt like 2024 was a marathon, but on the other side of that. Where I am now, I'm so excited to get to work and to just focus on this new season of life. So in 2025, I have some really big goals in all areas of my life, which is kind of new for me because I normally try to focus on like one area at a time, but this year I feel like everything just kind of like, Snowballs into each other and I'm like, you know what? I'm ready for it. This year, I am ready for change in all areas. I'm embracing all of the things that I feel like 2024 kind of planted the seeds for. I am ready to reap. So, I have been planting seeds, I've been doing all of these things, this year I am ready to just come for everything that's mine. So, I am prioritizing systems in my own life very, very heavy this year. It's probably like, well, you're the systems girl. Like, of course you are. But I feel like it's one of those things where I help other people with their stuff so often that sometimes my stuff gets a little jumbled. But also when things have changed so significantly, there is a need to kind of reevaluate and overhaul your own systems. And I think that's a lesson that I want to make sure that you guys understand as you're listening to this episode, when we're talking about building systems, a lot of times people are like, Oh, let me build this thing and then it'll be perfect. And it'll just be ready to be there whenever I need it to be for the rest of all eternity. And that's really not how systems work. Systems are something where. You work on them, you perfect them, but then they continue to change as you change, as your business changes, as your needs change, as your energy changes, your, your system should be built to change with you. So this year I'm prioritizing systems, like I said, in my own life. Some of them are establishing systems, some are reestablishing old systems and some are just completely throwing out the old stuff and revamping. for something new and improved. So in my household, the changes that I'm looking to make in my household systems are a weekly cadence. I have really mapped out, I've taken a lot of time to map out what my perfect week looks like and What things are important what things I want to be doing during the week versus the weekends And so I really want to perfect that weekly cadence Meal planning and prepping has also been a really big one for me for household systems I feel like I was doing a lot of Outside eating a lot less cooking than I really like to do and so this year I have started to already prioritize that and I just really want to tweak and perfect that system for meal planning and prepping. Not only just for my household systems, but also that plays into my personal systems goals as well. So in my personal life and my personal systems that I'm trying to overhaul not only is meal planning and prepping good for the house, but in my health and my weight loss journey It is super important that I get on top of that as well and just focus on what I'm putting into my body, how I'm fueling my body and doing it in a way that doesn't feel restrictive, but also gets me closer to my goals. In addition to the diet, of course, bodies are built in the kitchen. But also just making sure that I am back in my fitness routine that has been. Such a Refreshing change for me. So I was really heavy Into the gym and everything. I've always been a very pretty active person I won't say very but like pretty active person in general like I've always been Somebody that has a gym membership that goes pretty often or pretty regularly but when Shannon started school in August, September of last year, I really found myself getting lost in the day to day and I was not really at the gym like I wanted to. And honestly, it took from that time to about probably January before I was able to say, okay, this, this routine that I have going on is not working. How can I? Tweak things a little bit. What is it going to take to fix things so that I can get back into the things that I need to get into? And one of those things was back into the gym. The gym is something that just helps me feel good about me. And I really felt like I was I was losing something that was super important to me and something that made me feel good. And so I was like, nah, we got to figure this out. So I was able to figure that out. I've gotten back into my cadence of going to the gym multiple times a week. So usually my goal is about three times a week. If I can make it four times a week, then I'm super happy about that. But right now the goal is three and I think I've gotten there. And so now it's really just about getting back to. My structured way of working out focusing on one thing at a time, all of that kind of stuff. So perfecting that system for my fitness and my health and all of that is super important. Perfecting my beauty and skincare routine is a big thing right now. I've been having so much trouble with my skin and so I really just need to get that together. And then also something that Is something that I don't think about often, or I don't think that we think that their systems are just the way that I make decisions. As much as I can automate things so that I have to make less decisions during the day. the better. That is a big goal of mine. I feel like I am tired so often. And one, it's because I'm a single mom of a boy. So that in itself is tiring and then I'm working and then I have a business and then I'm in the military. Like there's so many reasons why I should be tired. However, I do feel like there are ways to mitigate the amount of tired that I am. And one of those is to take as many decisions off of my plate as possible by automating more things. Using and leaning into my systems and my tools and things more than I already am. In addition to my household systems, my personal systems, I want to focus on relationship systems. So, I am trying to focus on more intentional connection with my friends, getting together on a regular basis, pre scheduling our time together, because a lot of times we're like, okay, when are you available? Well, it's the last week in February. So it looks like maybe the end of April, like we're having to push things out so far because it's not something that's already preplanned. And I feel like if we just pencil ourselves in to each other's lives then it makes it. Easier to kind of get together more often and not just when it's like a birthday or the holidays and things like that. So I want to make sure to connect with my friends, with my family regularly and having that baked in kind of plan already. So in addition to my platonic friendships and things like that, I am getting back into the dating world. I. I probably will never, like, share, well, I shouldn't say I will never my dating life is not something that I share very often, like, publicly but also probably because I didn't have much of a dating life, so now that I'm actually out here, like, dating people there's a little bit more to think about but in that aspect, of course I can't really systemize that but I can kind of, you know, Be more calculated in the decisions about who I date how I date and things like that. So Lots of inner work on learning me and what I like in relationships what I don't I feel like I've done a lot of that prior to and so now I'm kind of just like Okay, I've done a lot of inner work on learning me. I've done a lot to become a me expert. And I'm ready to be a great partner to someone. I'm ready to be an even better mom, an even better friend, an even better sister. All the things that I can be for the people that I care the most about. And then, So I have my household, my personal, my relationship systems. And then of course, there's business systems. So I want to focus on putting more workflows in place and hiring to allow me the freedom to serve you guys more than I have ever been able to before. I want to work on more opportunities to connect and serve the system. To connect and serve the systemize her community. I have some really, really big plans for this year, which I'll talk about here shortly. But, as I'm looking to celebrate a new year, I thought that I wanted to do something really big in business to celebrate. And so, I keep like hyping up this idea that I'm doing something big, so I'll quit being super dramatic about it. But I have a March Madness bundle that I have created and really, it is just a way for me to celebrate my birthday in business in a way. That is also going to serve you and help you get results in your business and life. So it's my birthday month and I love to, well, it's not my birthday month yet, but it will be my birthday month. And I love to celebrate birthdays. I'm really big on celebrating others. So I try my best to do the same for myself. And so I've been working on a few resources in the background and I've really. Loved them and I'm like, you know what? I want to share all of them, but I can't just go and share all of these random resources It's all the time. I mean, I guess I could. It's my business. I could do whatever I want to. But I was like, you know what? No, I'm going to bundle them all together and on for my birthday, I'm going to give you a present. So last year, like I said, I learned so many things. And one of the things that I learned is that when you do good work, people will notice. I did a lot last year and my ultimate goal was just to try to serve the hell out of you. You don't have to be. Everything for everyone, and I think I learned that lesson very well. But I also learned that you just stay in your lane, you serve, like I said, you serve the hell out of your audience, and you will be successful. I know because you guys have told me that I've helped so many of you over the past year, and I really want to continue to do that through this bundle. So the March Madness Bundle is bundle of bonuses that you get for becoming a member inside of the systemize her community if You choose to join between March 1st and March 15th So by the time this episode is released if you're listening to it in real time, you'll have a couple of days to Make sure that you're ready but On Saturday, March the 1st, the March Madness Bundle will be live and you'll have between the 15th to join. Like I said, if you join within that time, then you are going to get the March Madness Bundle. So what is in the March Madness Bundle? Well, For starters, you will have access to the Pinkprint mini course. This mini course is designed to give you really quick wins in creating a clear road map for your personal and your business systems that are going to set you up for success moving forward. The Mini course was actually a challenge that we just did inside of the community and the ladies loved it. We did it as a 30 day challenge and they loved the hell out of this challenge. They said that it was so helpful. And such a good tool, but I wanted to put it in a course format so that no matter when you join that you could take advantage of it. So this mini course is going to be embedded inside of the community for something that you, and it will be something that you can kind of take. It'll, it'll be self paced, but you can take based on your own availability and your own schedule. And like I said, it's going to help you get a clear roadmap for your personal and your business systems and get going immediately within your first couple of weeks inside of the community. So that's number one. Number two, you will get the batch it up masterclass. This masterclass was actually a speaking thing that I did for another community. And people loved it. I got the best feedback on it. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to offer it as a bonus to my community. And so what the Batch It Up masterclass is, is a guide to batch planning. This helps you to structure your tasks and productive batches. This masterclass is really meant to help you navigate how to batch plan in your business and your life and how to do it in a way that is not overwhelming, that makes sense. And then I walk you through how to do a batch planning session in one hour or less. And I also have this downloadable smart agenda that is basically a game changer. It goes hand in hand for, it goes hand in hand with this batched up masterclass. So if you take the masterclass and use the agenda you are able to fully execute a batch planning session. And it is that guide to being able to do that in an hour. So you say, okay, I'm going to do it on this day. And this time you plug that in and that smart agenda is going to give you this step by step guide to doing a batch planning session based on the principles that we've talked about in the batch it up masterclass. So that is another part of that bundle. So you're getting the community, you're getting them. Paint, print mini course, you're getting the batch at a masterclass, you're getting that smart agenda. And then the last thing I wanted to throw in is a 30 day free trial of Moxie CRM. So Moxie is an amazing tool for managing your client relationships and automating your processes. So I use it to help stay organized in my business with my clients. I am exploring using it for other things as well, But I have been recommending it and I said, you know what? Let me throw this in there with that bundle So if you get the March Madness bundle that comes with the community You'll also get a 30 day free trial of Moxie that way you can try it out See for yourself how it helps you in your business And then if you love it, then you stay if you hate it and you got to try something new for 30 days so this bundle is probably one of the biggest things that I have like put together and offered. And I'm just really excited to give it to you. Like I said, it is going to be a limited time offer. This is something that I really want you to be decisive about, take quick action on it. And you know what? Say, Hey, I need to get my systems in order. Leah is giving me all of these things along with at least a month of support. So when you buy, like I said, when you sign up for the community, you get all of these things between the 1st and the 15th, you will get all of these things and you will have. Ongoing access to those things. And then should you choose to stay in the community, you then have the support that's baked in to help you navigate all of these things. So I definitely recommend that you go ahead and take full advantage of the bundle. If you're listening to this episode in real time, the sales page is not live yet. However, if you go over to Instagram and shoot me a day DM, I might be able to give you a little bit of early access. So that you can get started and get this bundle working for you and your business. So, that is the fun thing that I've been working on. That is the way that I am choosing to celebrate my birthday and my business. So, why not celebrate with me, right? So, that is kind of what I've been working on. That's what I am looking forward to as far as this next year is concerned. And where I've come from, kind of like where my mind is at, but I did want to, before I wrap up the episode, give you a quick behind the scenes sneak peek of what is coming next. So. We are going to break after this episode. So this is, like I said, the finale of season two, and we're going to go on a break. Probably. I'm going to say anywhere from eight to 12 weeks, depending on some of these things that I have going on, but we are going to take a break. And during that time, I am going to be making improvements to my workflows and funnels, surrounding my offers, as well as the show. And. I won't have to be recording episodes and so that'll give me really dedicated time to do that. I am wrapping up a client project and so I'll be done with that. So literally the only thing that I will be working on is my business and the show. So I'm really excited to do that while we're on a break. I'm also excited to start building my team. So I am really looking forward to hiring a virtual assistant as well as a podcast editor. And then I am tossing around the idea of hiring a copywriter as well. So those are things that I am going to really focus heavily on while we're on our break so that when I come back, I have the help that I need in addition to my systems. So in addition to those things kind of happening behind the scenes, I am really excited for a couple of new offers that will be live later this year. So one thing that I'm working on, and this will most likely be something that you guys will start seeing probably while on the break, but definitely moving into the summer, are system audits. So I have this really, really cool system audit offer coming up, and I already know y'all are about to go crazy over it. I already know it. Y'all have been telling me these are the things that you want, and I have basically taken all of your feedback, all of your wants, all of the things that you're struggling with, and I have turned them into an audit that is going to blow your mind. So it is not quite ready yet. I'm putting the finishing touches on it. But you guys should see that coming live here shortly. And that's a really big project that I'm excited to. Bring live to you. I've been toying with this idea for at least a year Maybe a little bit longer and so the fact that it will be live here in the next couple of months is like crazy but so exciting so Definitely look out for that. And then as I'm encouraging you to become a member something that's really fun Is that? Later on this year in October, we will be hosting our first annual members only systemize her retreat. So if you're a member inside of systemize her, you will have an exclusive invite to be a part of the systemize her retreat. It will be, like I said, in October of this year in Dallas here where I live. I thought the closest, I thought that for the first year we should do it close to my home so that I can make sure that it is amazing for you guys. So the ladies that are currently in the community are so excited. More details are going to be coming out because I am going to really lean into planning this. And so those are two really big projects that I have coming up. That I'm working on. And of course they tie into our bundle really well because if you are taking advantage of all the things in the bundle, then when you do your system audit, you should be able to see the fruits of your labor. And then if you're inside of the community, you get to be a part of the retreat. So that's awesome. So those are two things that I'm excited to work on and I feel like the bundle is kind of planting the seeds for both of those things. So, in addition to all of those things, like I said, the podcast itself is going to be going, undergoing some changes. The podcast itself is going to be undergoing some changes. Honestly, if all goes as planned, which I don't see any reason why it won't, next season is going to be insane. I have some really big ideas, some big changes coming, and I already know that you're going to love the updates to the Systemizer podcast. So as you can see, I have a lot of things in the pipeline, so, I really need this break in order to slow down so that I can speed up here when we come back. So, as we're wrapping up, I really want to encourage you to take advantage of this March Madness bundle. You'll hear about it, probably, if you're on my email list, you'll start seeing emails about it here shortly. Like I said, head over, slide in my DMs, I may give you some early access. And, I'm just really excited for you to take advantage of this bundle. So, while we're on this break, I really want to stay in touch, so head over, if you're not already following me on Instagram, do so, like I said, slide in my DMs for the bundle, but also just slide in my DMs in general, like, let me know that you're a listener.
