Summary
Victoria is finally sharing the secret project she’s been teasing for a year! Introducing Booked & Balanced, her mental health forward daily planner that’s designed to help you chase big goals without burning out. In this solo episode, Vic takes listeners behind the scenes of creating the planner completely from scratch, using the tools and prompts she loves using every day. She breaks down what makes Booked & Balanced different, including emotion tracking, must do vs can do lists, a weekly intentional pause, and science-backed practices that support mental health alongside productivity. If you are looking for a more sustainable way to plan your days, stay in alignment, and actually feel proud of how you’re living your life, this episode (and planner) is for you! Tune in to hear how Booked & Balanced was born and how it can change the way you work, plan, and take care of yourself.
B&B Restock Update - The first Booked & Balanced drop launched on January 4th and sold out in just four hours!! Thanks to your incredible support, we were able to pull a few strings and offer a small restock sooner than planned. Starting on 1/6 at 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST, you can pre-order Booked & Balanced at victoriagarrickbrowne.com/shop, with orders shipping January 14th - 21st. This restock is much more limited than the initial drop, so if you want one, be sure to order right at launch. Additionally, we’re actively working on a larger restock, but the next opportunity to order won’t be until March or April. If you’ve been hoping to start 2026 with Booked & Balanced by your side, this is your chance!
