Welcome to Live Well, I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, and on this podcast, we focus on a lot of life's logistics, like planning and wellness, along with some fun things like skincare and reading, and overall, we just throw in a whole lot of life's logistics like planning and wellness, along with some fun things like skin care and

reading and overall, we just throw in a whole lot of life. Around here, we know that life is messy,

but we're just doing our best to learn how to live well anyway. So join me on this journey as we

figured out together. And just to get us started, I'll go first. And you guys, today is a solo show. It is the first of a few

different solo shows that we will be having over the next month or so that are going to be

talking a lot about some different aspects of planning. I have been asking a lot of you,

what kinds of shows you like to have on the podcast and some topics that you are interested in.

And this one continuously comes up over and over and over again.

And since I nerd out over planning and I absolutely love it, I thought it would be fun to talk

about a few of those topics a little bit more in depth over the next couple of weeks.

So today we are really going to focus on the steps that I

walk through every week to make sure that I am planned for the week to come and kind of how that

all works for me. So we are going to dive into that in just a minute. But before we get there,

I want to take a minute to tell you a little bit more about the cohort that I have been hosting

for this past month and the other ones that I have coming up throughout the summer and hopefully

into the fall so that if you hear the stuff that we are talking about today and next week

about different planning topics and you think that's awesome but I need more help than just listening to the podcast

well I have got you covered because that is what the live well planned cohort is all about

so basically you team up with like five or six other ladies we are in a marco polo group together

you have a customized trello board that I have created for you that has all of our lesson plans all throughout the month. And we take four weeks to walk you from overwhelm to really feeling like you have a handle on your schedule and your priorities and your time so that you don't have to get to that burnout stage so that you can really know what the

right next thing is to do because I hear so many people saying, well, just do the next right

thing. Well, sometimes you feel so overwhelmed that you don't even know what that next right thing
