9. How I Discovered Life Systems (and Why They Changed Everything)
This one’s personal. I’m sharing the real story behind how Life Systems came to be—not from a Pinterest board, but from rock-bottom moments of burnout, grief, and a WTF-do-I-do-now season. From learning how to ask for help to teaching my daughter the magic of shared chores (yes, even bathroom duty), I walk you through how I created something that finally made life feel doable again.
Spoiler: It all started with one simple system.
