You're Not Overwhelmed. You're Over-Assigned. Why doing it all, remembering everything and managing everyone is leaving you with no time for yourself. Ever feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day? You're juggling work, family, appointments, errands, emails, social commitments, household responsibilities and approximately 47 things you promised yourself you'd get done last week.

And somehow, you still feel behind.

What if the problem isn't that you're bad at time management? What if you're simply trying to manage too much? Tune in as we chat about trying to do it all, the invisible load we carry, the mental energy that goes into managing all the little things, and why being constantly busy has become something we've normalized and how we can change it.

THE JOY CURATOR PODCAST

Curating a life of JOY that is authentic, bold and purposeful takes courage and confidence. Welcome to The Joy Curator Podcast. I'm your host, Kimberly Joy Evans, owner of JOY Consulting + Experiences, girl mama and cocktail connoisseur. For the past twenty years, I have had the pleasure of planning incredible events and creating experiences for clients who are wanting to bring more purpose and joy into their personal and professional lives. Join me for happy hour as I bring you conversations with entrepreneurs, professionals, tastemakers and extraordinary world changers who have gotten where they are through their authenticity, truth telling and a commitment to showing up. I'm here to help you organize your time, energy and experiences so you can work, lead and live with more joy. No matter who you are, where you are from or what you do for a living, my hope is that you will feel challenged to look within yourself, feel inspired, exchange your fears for courage and know that you have a choice on how you show up every single day, so let's curate some JOY!
