NO-vember

How often do you say yes when you really wanted or needed to say no? Maybe it’s a volunteer spot you’ve held for years or a favor that eats up an afternoon you didn’t have. Saying no can feel tricky, especially when you’re used to keeping everyone happy. Last year I celebrated my first real NO-Vember, and this year I’m getting a head start. I’m sharing what saying no actually protects in your life, plus a few ways to say it with more confidence and conviction when it still feels uncomfortable. Episode Highlights How saying no frees you up for what is actually yours to do Why every yes you give today costs you time later The simple responses I keep ready when I’m not sure of my answer yet __________________ 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.

Dealing with the Details

Lately I keep landing in the same conversation with different people, and it’s about details. The small ones that get skipped when we’re rushing, and the disruption that shows up later because nobody stopped to tend to them. In a world where hustling is a flex, slowing down long enough to notice can feel almost backwards. So I wanted to bring that conversation here, because I think the little details deserve a lot more credit than we give them. And I’m sharing one of my favorite examples of exactly why. Episode Highlights The famous rock band contract clause everyone misunderstood, and what it was really about Where the small details show up in everyday life, from nutrition labels to your finances A simple way to think and pray through the details that matter to you __________________ 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 Next 3 Months Are YOURS for the Taking

There are a little under 90 days left in the year, and if you've pulled out the goals you set back at the beginning of it, part of you might be channeling Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect and saying "crushed it." Another part of you might have a hand hovering over the "oh no, I haven't done any of that" end-of-year panic button. Don't worry. We're going to kick that oh no feeling to the curb. I'm sharing 10 simple things, plus a bonus, that I believe can change the game for you over the next three months in your life and your work. None of them are complicated, and a few of them are actually fun. Episode Highlights What to do with the goals you haven't touched since you wrote them down Why I stopped habit stacking my walks and what I'd been missing The everyday habit that leaves you feeling like a pinball machine __________________ 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.

Making the hap, hap, happiest season of all ... actually happy NOW

Does your to-do list blow up every year during the holidays in November and December? For so many of us, the season we look forward to most turns into the one it takes weeks to recover from. When I looked into what holiday stress does to us, the numbers stopped me in my tracks. This year can feel different. In this episode I walk through the decisions you can make right now, well before the rush, so you get to decide how the season goes. It all starts with one question I want you to answer boldly, and everything else builds from there. Episode Highlights What holiday stress is actually doing to your brain The October text that made Christmas so much easier for my family How deciding early lightens your mental load before the season even starts __________________ 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 BEAT This

How many times have you talked yourself out of something today? I've already felt resistance about ten times on my way to record this episode, and I'd bet you've felt it too. It shows up around the hard conversation you keep delaying and the project that keeps sliding to next week, and it's easy to mistake it for just not being ready. There's a phrase that has been living rent-free in my head for a couple of years, and it has become my anchor when things get tricky. Resistance tends to show up right when you're reaching for something that matters, and naming it changes what you do next. Episode Highlights Why the more important the goal, the more resistance you'll feel How the things you've already done count as proof you can move through it again The one question to ask about where resistance has been winning lately Mentioned in the Episode The War of Art by Steven Pressfield: www.stevenpressfield.com/books/the-war-of-art __________________ 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.

Have an ANSWER Ready

There are certain conversations you can see coming from a mile away, and somehow you still end up defending yourself, over-explaining, or saying something you didn't mean to. In this episode, I'm talking about what changes when you decide in advance what you're going to say, so you're not scrambling for the right words in the moment. It's not about having the perfect comeback. It's about being able to respond from somewhere steadier instead of getting pulled into the same reaction every time. Episode Highlights: The pattern that keeps pulling you into defending yourself in conversations you saw coming A prayer practice for the situations that keep showing up no matter what you do What changes when your answer comes from something steadier than a reaction __________________ 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 Little Break You REALLY Need

I worked with a woman last year whose schedule would make your head spin. She came to me for coaching feeling like her family was sacrificing when she was working, and the people she worked for were sacrificing when she was with her family. She felt scattered all the time. Anyone else? In our time working together, one thing shaped how she moved forward with less overwhelm and more peace. It was something so small it's easy to write off, but once she started using it on purpose, everything about how she moved through her days changed. I'm walking through what that shift looks like and how you can start putting it into practice today. Episode Highlights: Why the breaks you're most resistant to might be the ones you need most A simple trick to keep your breaks from pulling you into a distraction spiral How to turn a few spare minutes into progress on something you actually care about __________________ 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.

Time To Put On Some BLINDERS

Ever notice how you can be moving through your day feeling pretty locked in, and then something shinier catches your eye and your focus is just gone? It happens more than we like to admit, especially when it feels like everyone around you is doing more, handling more, or juggling something you're not. I'm talking about why blinders, yes, the kind horses wear at the track, might be exactly what you need right now. Not to shut out your life, but to get honest about what you're actually supposed to be focused on this season, and what you can finally let go of. Episode Highlights: Why doing it all was never actually the goal A small trick to make your blinders impossible to ignore How to figure out where you actually need to say no __________________ 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.

Let's RESET

Do you ever hit a season where everything feels like trudging through mud, like you're dragging a ball and chain and getting nowhere fast? I've been there more times than I can count, and looking back, there was always one thing missing in those seasons. Today I'm walking you through a simple nine-minute practice that clears your head, gets you out of frustration, and moves you toward who you actually want to be. It costs nothing, takes almost no time, and you can pick it back up any day you miss. Episode Highlights Why looking at what's actually going right matters just as much as fixing what's not The one question that helps you let go of what's quietly weighing you down How nine minutes a day prepares you for the moments life actually falls apart __________________ 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 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.
