Overwhelmed by your to-do list? I was too—until I turned to AI.
In this episode of the Bringing Business to Retail podcast, I share how I opened Asana and was met with more tasks than I could handle in a year (yep, a full year). Instead of spiraling into busywork, I turned to my custom-built ChatGPT for support. What happened next surprised me.
You'll hear how I used AI to ask myself four game-changing questions that helped me clear the mental clutter, prioritize what actually matters, and realign my work with my long-term goals. I’ll also dive into how tools like the Eisenhower Matrix and calendar blocking helped me identify tasks I shouldn't even be doing.
Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or just drowning in digital post-its, this episode will give you practical, strategic tools to take back control—and get back to deep work that truly moves the needle.
What if I told you that some of your inventory is quietly draining money from your business every single month—without you even realizing it?
And what if I told you that freeing up cash flow in your business has nothing to do with selling more, running ads, or tweaking your pricing—but everything to do with understanding when your stock stops making you money?
So when Christine broke it down for me, I was hooked.
Here’s the deal: Every SKU you own is paying rent.
Whether it’s sitting in a fulfillment center or in the corner of your office, at some point, that inventory shifts from being an asset to a liability. And the longer it sits, the more it eats into your profit.
I used to think of inventory as something that just existed until it sold. But after this conversation, I see it differently—and I think you will too.
Listen in and let me know what you think.

What if I told you there’s a way to make more money in your business—without changing your products, pricing, or marketing budget? And what if I told you this strategy has been quietly influencing financial markets, human behavior, and even retail trends for years?
So when Lucy Bloomfield asked me if she could come on the show and discuss something she’d been putting into action to create more sales and money, I was interested.
So we jump on a call to discuss, and she tells me, the secret is… we need to start syncing our sales and marketing efforts with the moon.
Yep, you read that right. The moon.
Trust me, I’m a logic girl through and through.
SHOW ME THE DATA!
I went into this conversation with a very healthy dose of skepticism. But as Lucy explained how women’s hormonal cycles impact spending habits—and how financial markets have long documented the influence of lunar phases—I couldn’t help but lean in.
Here’s the gist: there are certain times of the month that are the prime time for selling—your customers are more inclined to buy, spend impulsively, and say yes to your offers.
There are other times - not so much. That’s when resistance is higher, spending slows, and conversions take more effort.
She’s been tracking sales data across multiple businesses, and the results? Eye-opening.
So, if you could make twice as much during the right two-week window—without spending an extra dollar on ads—would you at least give it a shot?
Listen in and let me know your thoughts.
