A Routine-ISH is KINDA CHIC

There's a kinda chic trend going around, the one where everyone gets bold about what actually feels like them, from the perfect red lipstick to a crisp white button-down. I love it because it gives people permission to be specific and unapologetic about what works for them. So I'm applying that same idea to something a little less Instagram-friendly, your quiet time or journaling routine. Because chasing someone else's formula almost never sticks, and the real answer might just be doing it your way, nine minutes at a time. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Why forcing yourself into someone else's quiet time formula usually backfires A simple three-question framework for approaching any passage you read How one woman used the nine-minute challenge to finally make her practice stick Mentioned in the episode: Favorite bible study to get started with: https://a.co/d/0g8GWQl0 __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

How to WIN at BACK to SCHOOL or ANY NEW SEASON

Is it possible to dread a school year that hasn't even started yet? Apparently, yes. And if that's you right now, this one applies to any new season, not just the one with backpacks. I'm walking through what actually helps our family ease into busy seasons instead of just surviving them. It comes down to making a handful of decisions ahead of time and letting the people around you in on them, so you're not scrambling once life picks up speed. Episode Highlights: A decision to make before you even lay eyes on a sign up sheet The system that closes the "what's for dinner" loop before it starts A tiny weekly tradition worth protecting no matter how busy things get __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Less Makes Room for MORE

If you've searched anything about reducing stress, improving focus, or finally finding more time lately, you're chasing the same thing almost every woman over twenty-five is chasing right now. There's no shortage of noise telling you how to get there either. I found one thread running underneath all of it, and it's not about doing more. It's about clearing out what's already taking up space. In this episode I'm walking through why less stuff leads to more order, and a few ways to start clearing that space nine minutes at a time. Episode Highlights: Why the low grade stress you can't quite name might be coming from somewhere you'd never suspect The one thread connecting stress, focus, time, and mood that most people never notice A surprising rule that changes how efficiently you actually get things done __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

You Can't Forget What You Don't Know

Last weekend I spoke to a room full of teenage boys about relationships, and something I said stuck with my husband the whole drive home. He couldn't stop thinking about it, and neither could I. The line was simple: we can't forget what we don't know. But that raises a bigger question. How do you actually know if you know something, like really know it? Turns out there are real ways to test what you know, and even more ways to make sure it actually sticks. Some of these I've used for years without knowing they had names. One I'd genuinely never heard of until I started digging into this. If you want what matters to you to actually stay with you instead of just passing through, this one's worth nine minutes. Episode Highlights A quick way to test whether you actually know something or just think you do An unusual memory trick tied to walking through your own house Why memorizing something once almost never makes it stick __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Who's Your FIRST Stop?

People ask me all the time how God influences my business, and my answer is always the same: in every way. When you run something you built yourself, with no boss but Jesus, that kind of freedom can feel incredible and completely overwhelming at the same time. I'm walking through five questions I ask myself when I need to get honest about who's actually leading, my calendar, my choices, my time. This isn't about having it all figured out. It's about noticing where you've been making decisions on autopilot instead of on purpose. Episode Highlights How to tell if you're making decisions from calling or from should Why comparison quietly steals your clarity What it actually looks like to own your time instead of giving it away __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

A Little Encouragement Can Change A LOT

Have you ever had something sitting in a drawer, a folder, or the back of your mind that you never got around to sharing? I started thinking about that after reading a book that pulled me in completely. This episode isn't really about the book. It's about what almost didn't happen, and what shifts when the people around you refuse to let you keep something to yourself. Episode Highlights: The real story behind a bestselling novel that almost stayed ion the corner of a desk Why one friend's pushback ended up changing everything for that book and what that means for you The one question I want you asking about who you let in on what you're sitting on Mentioned in This Episode: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi: https://www.amazon.com/Theo-Golden-Novel-Allen-Levi/dp/1668236516 __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

The Second Half

I got a text that landed differently than most. It was from a woman who sat in one of my sessions back in June, and what she told me about breaking free from something she thought was permanent has stuck with me. It's making me wonder what you've got sitting on a list somewhere, what's been hanging over your head. And whether right now, in July, might actually be the moment you've been waiting for without even realizing it. Episode Highlights: A real story about what happens when you stop waiting for the perfect time Why mid-year actually holds something January never did One simple way to think about what you actually want the rest of this year to feel like __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Discipline REQUIRES Decision Making

Do you ever catch yourself saying "I just need more discipline" and then nothing changes? You're not alone in that loop, but the loop itself might be the clue. What if discipline was never actually the missing piece? In this episode, I'm breaking down why discipline without a real decision behind it never sticks, and what it actually looks like to put the decision first so the discipline has something to attach to. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Why "I need more discipline" is often a way to avoid making a real decision How to turn a vague goal into a clear rule you can actually follow A simple way to start practicing this today, nine minutes at a time __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

Just ONE More Thing

You are on track to leave on time, maybe even early, and then you decide to throw in one load of laundry or fire off one quick email. The next thing you know, you are late before you even make it out the door, running around feeling like your whole day got set on fire. I am not a one more thing person, and in this episode I get into why that habit costs you so much more than the few minutes you think you are saving. There is actually a name for what happens when you keep reaching for one last task, and once you can see the pattern, you can start choosing something different. Episode Highlights: What the one more thing habit is quietly doing to your brain, your time, and the people waiting on you Why the hurry stays with you even after you finally walk in the door A simple way to rethink what being ready actually means before you leave __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.

You're INVITED

We are wired for connection, so the words invitation only can stop us in our tracks and stir up old feelings we would rather not revisit. Most of us know the sting of being left off a list. What we forget is how much power lives on the other side of an invitation, and how often we are the ones quietly waiting to be invited to something we already want. I want to flip that this week and put your invitation powers to good use. That might mean reaching out to someone who is waiting for those two words, or it might mean offering the invitation to yourself. Whatever you have been holding off on until someone hands you permission, consider this your nudge to stop waiting. Episode Highlights: What pulling the thread on an invitation you never got can reveal How extending an invitation to yourself can build real momentum Who in your life might be waiting for you to extend the invitation __________________ Get my BEST SELLING book - It's Only a Matter of Time https://www.jennifersise.com/Itsonlyamatteroftime Connect with me: Website: www.jennifersise.com Substack: www.jennifersise405.substack.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jennifersise Be sure to rate this podcast, leave a review, share it with your friends, and hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.
