In today's episode of The Luxe and the Short of It Podcast, Madeleine reflects on the practices and tools that have shaped her journey from a stressed-out nine-to-fiver to a thriving entrepreneur with time and financial freedom.
Drawing from personal experiences, she shares the value of intentional goal-setting, effective habit formation, and practical strategies to maintain focus and balance in the midst of a busy life. From planning quarterly goals with the Epic Life Planner to incorporating small but meaningful habit stacks inspired by Atomic Habits, Madeleine explains how these methods create lasting change without overwhelming your day-to-day routine.
You'll discover the importance of creating space for reflection and recalibration. By sharing her own experiences with yearly planning alongside her husband, Madeleine emphasizes how aligning personal and professional goals has helped set the trajectory for their life and business. She introduces the concept of the "sacred pause," a deliberate practice of stepping back to assess priorities, avoid burnout, and reconnect with purpose.
Whether it’s rethinking how you set goals, simplifying your daily habits, or carving out time for self-reflection, this episode serves as a reminder that the life you envision starts with the choices you make today.
