If you’ve ever found yourself in the middle of building a business, running your home, serving your family — and suddenly everything begins to shift — this conversation is for you. Pauli didn’t wait until everything was “perfect” or “fixed” to start systemizing her life. She came into the community during a season when she wasn’t sure if her marriage would survive. She doubted if she could hold all the pieces. And yet, she chose to show up.

Her story is a testament to what’s possible when we root deeply in our values and trust that structure doesn’t limit us — it frees us. Even when everything else is uncertain.

You’re going to feel so seen by this conversation. Whether you’re walking through your own transition — a divorce, a move, burnout, or just that invisible shift in identity we don’t always have words for — you are not alone. And there is a way to show up well for your family and your business, even in the hard.

Let’s dive in.

“How do I find that balance of really loving my family well making sure they’re taken care of and then also working enough so that I can bring in the income?”

Systems That Hold You — Even When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart

One of the most powerful things about Pauli’s journey is that she didn’t wait for her life to be “less full” to start. Like so many women who come through Systemize Your Life and Systemize to Scale, she was juggling it all — parenting two young children, managing a physical therapy practice, homeschooling, and navigating a deeply painful personal season in her marriage.

She didn’t come into the program with a clear schedule or an ideal season of life. She came in during survival mode — and that’s exactly when the system started working.

Let’s be clear: the program didn’t magically make life easy. It gave her the framework to hold space for the hard without letting it take over everything.

“The past 6 months, my life was all over the place. But I always came back to the systems. No matter what I was going through — whether it was emotional, spiritual, or practical — I had something solid I could return to.”

This is why we build foundations inside the Systemize Your Life. Not quick fixes. Not gimmicks. Not rigid perfection.

You need a system that’s strong enough to hold you through every season:

• When the to-do list keeps cycling but nothing actually gets done
• When you’re crying between coaching calls, parenting, and surviving
• When you want to grow your business but life is asking you to slow down

Creating Space for Family and Work with Systems

Let’s talk about something real for a moment.

How many programs have you joined that promise to “fix” your productivity, only to leave you with more guilt and another unread email series?

We’ve all been there.

But this community? This method? It’s different.

The truth is, this isn’t a plug-and-play system. This is a method that honors your season, your values, and your capacity. Some days you’re all in. Other days, just keeping your head above water feels like the win. And that’s okay.

You don’t have to implement everything at once. Start small. Start slow. Start somewhere.

Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

When I coach women inside the programs, I don’t pretend to know every single situation, every culture, or every personal backstory. But I trust that what we’re building — together — is guided by God and rooted in truth.

“You didn’t know my whole story, but I felt seen. The systems were steady, and the coaching helped me feel held but also challenged. You told me, ‘I know your problems are real, but this can still work.’ That tough love changed me.”

One of the biggest breakthroughs for Pauli was realizing that even though the key felt like it didn’t “fit” at first — because of the chaos, the trauma, the grief — she kept showing up anyway.

And slowly, the door began to unlock.

How to Make Progress When You Don’t Have Time

Let’s get practical. If you’re in the thick of it and feel like you don’t even have five minutes to yourself, here’s how you can start.

3 Steps To Try:

Just Pick One Routine:
Maybe it’s your morning AM Block or your Nightly Reset. Choose one tiny piece of your day to systemize. Let it be simple. Let it be sacred. Let it anchor you when everything else feels unpredictable.

Set a Weekly Check-In With Yourself:
Once a week, even if it’s in the car or while folding laundry, ask yourself:

• What worked this week?
• What didn’t?
• What system do I need to revisit or simplify?
  This is how we live proactively, not reactively.

Stop Chasing Perfection:
You are allowed to learn at your pace. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to still be in process.

One of the most powerful parts of Pauli’s journey was that she didn’t force herself into black-and-white thinking. She learned to adapt, to apply what she could, and to trust the long game.

The Privilege of Refinement

One of the most impactful things Pauli shared was this: “This is a hard season of my life. But I see it as a privilege — a season of being refined.”

We are not just building calendars and cleaning routines. We’re building homes and businesses with intention. We’re walking through fire and learning to grow stronger in it. We’re becoming women who know how to adapt, improvise, and overcome — because our systems are rooted in what matters most.

Whether you’re thriving or barely holding on right now, I want you to hear me:

You are capable of showing up well for your family and your business.
You can build systems that hold you up when everything else feels shaky.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re here for you — every step of the way.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered

One of the phrases I often share with the women in my programs is: improvise, adapt, overcome. Watching Pauli embody this mantra in real time — day by day, week by week, month by month — has been nothing short of inspiring.

As she opened up about her journey within our community, a profound transformation occurred. Not only did she find strength in her vulnerability, but she also empowered others to do the same. In return, she received the support and encouragement she needed during some of her most challenging times.

When I asked Pauli what had been her anchor through it all — what she had clung to in those little pockets of her day — her answer was heartfelt. Yes, the community played a significant role. But it was also the quiet permission to release the pressure. To allow herself to just be mom some evenings. To set aside the business when life felt overwhelming. That kind of shift is everything.

Embracing Strategy Amidst Life’s Chaos

Pauli came to this space seeking more than just encouragement — she needed strategy. She confided in me, “People keep telling me God will take care of us, but I still have bills to pay.” I resonated deeply with her words. I’ve been there. So, we got real. We got practical. She allowed me to challenge her, to call her higher. And she didn’t take it personally — she took it as fuel.

That combination — truth and tenderness — is at the heart of the Systemize to Scale program. Because what works for one woman might not work for another. This isn’t about copy-paste strategies. It’s about honoring the whole person and building a business that supports your real life.

I witnessed Pauli reclaim her time, rebuild her systems, and relieve herself of the mental weight she’d been carrying for years. She shared with me that, for the first time, she wasn’t rewriting the same to-do list over and over again. She was actually getting things done — and more importantly, she was living again.

How Systems Made Room for Healing and Growth

Pauli’s story is a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when your time is no longer consumed by chaos. With 95% of her to-do list automated through our task management system and daily routines, she’s carved out the space to grow her practice, serve more women, and be present with her kids — without the constant burnout.

From feeling stretched thin to confidently expanding her business into another state, Pauli now works fewer than 28 hours a week, runs an in-person and virtual pelvic floor therapy practice, and supports women through online programs that change lives. She’s living proof that with the right systems in place, you don’t have to choose between impact and presence — you can have both.
