Finding Productivity that Works For You—Not Against You
Is it just me, or does life sometimes feel like one big balancing act?
Between careers, families, relationships, finances, and personal growth, today’s millennial women are juggling more than ever…and often wearing multiple hats in a single day. But what if you could be productive without burning out?
In this episode of the City Girl Savings Podcast, I’m joined by Tiffany Tate, a successful Non-Profit CEO and City Girl Savings coaching client. Tiffany and I dive into what real productivity looks like when you’re balancing ambition, leadership, and self-care.
Spoiler: it’s not about perfection, it’s about finding rhythms, routines, and strategies that support your version of success.
Whether you’re working a 9-5, building a business, or leading a team, this conversation offers personal development insights to help you stay focused, grounded, and fulfilled.

- [42:27] Instead of focusing far into the future, when thinking about goals, identify what needs to be fixed or worked on now.
