What Am I Doing Now?

Projects

  • I have a newsletter where I help solopreneurs build a business that’s not overwhelming through better systems.
  • I also talk about it on my podcast, Streamlined Solopreneur.
  • I will be speaking a lot in the coming months. I even added a new section here.
  • Need my help? Book a discovery call.
  • I’ve been thinking a lot about simple systems for solopreneurs, AI Brain Rot, and using AI to help our systems instead of removing us completely from the human aspects of work.

Media

  • I recently listened to 26 albums — one by artists from each letter of the alphabet, in alphabetical order. See the list here. You can also get the playlist on Apple Music and Spotify.
  • 5 CD Changer: The Ataris: So Long, Astoria, Olivia Rodrigo: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, Rufio: MCMLXXXV, Halifax: The Inevitability of a Strange World, LINKIN PARK: From Zero

  • Full Talk Title: How I created boundaries in my inbox to help my daughter become a top Girl-Scout Cookie seller instead

Checking your email is one of things that feels productive, but quickly leads to prioritizing other people’s tasks over your own. And, we know that auto-responders saying you only check your email once per day or having an LLM write responses for you, doesn’t solve the problem either. In this session, you’ll learn how I built boundaries and reset expectations in my inbox so I can be present for things that matter most, and work as a group to brainstorm similar implementation tactics that work for you and your team.

  • Event: Creator Camp
  • Dates: Sept 28-30, 2026
  • Location: Portsmouth, NH
  • Full Talk Title: Make Time for Content That Actually Connects

Most people I talk to want to use AI as part of their content creation process to make it faster; but faster isn’t better…it’s just faster.

The real problem is that we have so much to do, that we need to prioritize certain things, and find shortcuts for others. But if you can find the right shortcuts you will have the time and space to create authentic content that helps your audience connect with you. Ecamm Live can help you do that.

  • Full Talk Title: Figure Out What’s Worth Your Time With a Task Audit Matrix

Busy and productive are not the same, but it can be hard to know what tasks you definitely need to do vs. what tasks you can automate. In this workshop, I’ll show you my Task Audit Matrix to determine what your Focused, Planned work should be, vs. the stuff you can automate. Then you’ll build your own!
