<p>Today’s conversation will change your thoughts about time—our most precious and often overlooked currency. Returning to the show is Heather Chauvin, a dynamic speaker, coach, and author whose wisdom on time management is nothing short of transformative. Heather’s journey began in a crucible of crisis—a stage-four cancer diagnosis. Still, from that challenging moment, she built a revolutionary approach to owning and investing time to live richly and intentionally.</p><p>In this episode, Heather and I dive into her signature concept of "energetic time management," where time isn’t just about productivity or calendars; it’s about aligning your energy, values, and desires to create a life that feels as good as it looks. She shares the origin of this system, the profound realizations she had while juggling motherhood and a career, and why most of us are in what she calls "time debt." Heather explains how to break free, set boundaries, and treat time like money—because every moment matters.</p><br><p>We’ll also talk about practical strategies: building a dream calendar and redefining your relationship with time. Also: Why outsourcing isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity for creating space to thrive.

<p>We’re discussing a topic that’s become increasingly relevant as climate disasters become more frequent and unpredictable: financial resilience in the face of devastating events. No matter where you live, you are at risk of being affected by climate change, and it’s changing how you think about your finances, homes, and futures.</p><br><p>To bring this conversation to life, I’m joined by artist and creator of <a href="http://www.sunlighttax.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunlight Tax</a>, Hannah Cole.

Hannah lost 20 years of her life's work as an artist when her studio was washed away. She shares her firsthand experience of the devastation and how she’s using her financial foundation to navigate this crisis. We’ll hear about her rebuilding efforts, the importance of being financially prepared for the unexpected, and how Asheville is coming together to recover.</p><br><p>Because financial preparedness is critical, I’m partnering with Hannah to give one lucky listener free access to her <a href="https://www.sunlighttax.com/moneybootcamp-old222" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Money Boot Camp</a>, a comprehensive course package designed for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solopreneurs.
