If your energy level was a weather forecast, what would today be?

Hi Everyone, My name is Toni and I am from Brisbane, Queensland Australia. I am the owner of the Business Habit Society and I help women in Business build habits and simple systems so their business feels easier to run. An area I want more clarity and alignment with is around growth and where to focus my energy so I am not spreading myself to thing. I tend to follow the shiny objects and get easily distracted from doing the things that will actually help me make progress towards my goals. Something that helps me is that I've noticed that if I move my body first thing in the morning, the rest of the day tends to flow but if I skip this my day tends to be all over the place and I find it hard to get started on anything. I also have a normal version of how of all the little tasks I am to do but then I have a fallback version which is the smallest action towards that for days when I have low energy. That helps me feel like I am still making progress even though its tiny. Unfortunately, I have no gym or movement selfies. 😊 Looking forward to getting to know all of you 🌻

Most creators think there’s only one way to make money with Skool. That belief keeps people stuck, frustrated, and doing way more than they need to. In my latest podcast + YouTube episode, I walk through the 9 real monetization paths for Skool communities — including the ones most people completely overlook. If you’re building (or thinking about building) a Skool community and want it to grow in a way that feels intentional and sustainable, this episode will give you clarity fast. 🎧 Listen here iTunes

I received a question recently in my community and it touched on something I know many of us wrestle with. So I thought I would explore it in a post for you. The heart of it was this: What do you do when life demands more than you feel ready for? When you're doing the slow, gentle work of nervous system regulation but then life doesn't wait. A family crisis happens. A career opportunity arises. Something urgent and unavoidable lands in your lap. How do you navigate choosing things you know will overwhelm your system? How do you handle the fear of "what if something big comes up before I'm ready?" How do you manage the pressure to speed up your healing so you can be "fixed" before the next hard thing arrives? This tension between going slowly and life not waiting is something I live in constantly. Especially as a single mum to a neurodivergent child where unexpected demands are part of the landscape. So here's what I've learned: The shift isn't about becoming unshakeable before life happens. It's about having tools you can reach for when life does happen. Think of it less like "I need to be fixed before I can handle hard things" and more like "I'm building a toolkit I can use during hard things." What I Do When Life Demands More Than I Feel Ready For: 1. I accept that overwhelm will happen, and plan for recovery If I know something will tax my system (travel, family crisis, big work deadline), I don't try to prevent the overwhelm. Instead, I: - Clear my calendar for the 2-3 days after when possible - Lower the bar everywhere else (frozen meals, minimal commitments, saying no to anything non-essential) - Tell people close to me: "I'm going into a high-demand period and will need space to recover after" This removes the surprise of overwhelm and the shame when it happens. I've planned for it. It's expected. That alone reduces some of the nervous system load. 2. I use the "Minimum Viable Day" framework During high-stress periods, I don't try to maintain my full routine. I identify my absolute non-negotiables, the 2-3 things that keep me most regulated, and do only those.
