EPISODE: 5

Not the trendiest. Not the loudest. Just the tools that actually help me run my business with clarity, calm, and ease.

“Most of us don’t need more tools—we need the right ones. Tools that support how we actually work, not how someone else says we should. When something fits your brain and your rhythm, everything feels less chaotic.”

Drowning in tools you don’t actually use? This episode breaks it down. I’m sharing the core tools I actually rely on to run my business—why I chose them, how they support the way I work, and how you can build a tech stack that fits you. No more chasing what’s trendy. Let’s talk about what’s useful.

HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Start with how you actually work
Before picking any tool, ask how
you move through your day. Do you need visual structure? Flexibility? Fewer clicks? Your style should shape your setup.

FEA Create simplified my business backend
From websites to sales to email, FEA Create pulls it all together. No duct tape, no chaos—just one platform that covers the essentials without feeling bloated.

Canva keeps me consistent without design burnout
Templates, brand kits, and simplicity make Canva the tool I reach for when I want to look polished without overthinking every pixel.

Notion is my home base
It’s where planning, reflecting, and organizing all come together. Whether I’m brain-dumping or systemizing, Notion flexes with me instead of boxing me in.

INSPIRED ACTION (Optional):
Open a blank page and map out your current tech stack:

  • What tools are you actually using?

  • What feels helpful, and what’s just noise?

  • Where could you simplify?

Circle one tool to explore replacing—or removing.
