About this listen
January loves to sell us the lie that we need a new planner, a new personality, and a hard reset just because the calendar flipped. I’m calling BS.
In this episode of The Glow Up Edit, we’re talking about soft structure—what it actually is, why rigid scheduling fails so many women, and how to build rhythms that support your real life instead of fighting it. Because nothing in nature blooms in winter… and neither do we.
We’ll talk about:
Why “new year, new me” culture creates burnout, not transformation
The difference between discipline problems and alignment problems
Why hour-by-hour planners assume you’re a robot (and you’re not)
How to create containers, not cages, for your time
Weekly anchors, themed days, and energy-based planning
Why white space is not wasted space
How priorities, seasons, hormones, kids, school schedules, and real life actually factor into a schedule that works
If you’re tired of white-knuckling your calendar, feeling guilty for “falling behind,” or getting bullied into burnout by January expectations—this one’s for you.
