I’m excited to be joined by Jade Boyd on the podcast today! 

Jade has been my business coach this year, and I’ve loved getting to work with and learn from her. Jade is truly a wealth of knowledge, and she is fantastic at what she does. She’s always had a passion for business, marketing, and entrepreneurship, and she originally thought she would take the traditional corporate route after getting her MBA. Jade soon realized that was not the career path for her, and she decided to pursue entrepreneurship instead.

Making big changes and pivots when it comes to your career can be scary. Jade experienced this firsthand when she took a major leap of faith and decided to leave her successful photography business to instead focus on building her coaching business. It’s been the best decision for her though, and she now teaches other creative entrepreneurs about the power of productivity, systems, goal setting, creating intentionality with business and life, and more. Jade loves helping her clients create a unique schedule that will allow them the freedom and flexibility they’re desiring for their lives, instead of feeling stuck and misaligned with what they’re doing.

This episode is filled with SO much goodness – we even dig into how to break up with your phone and be more productive (if that’s something you struggle with, you are NOT alone-I totally do too). I’m pumped for you to learn from Jade here-you won’t want to miss this one!

Jade Boyd is a business + productivity coach who helps busy creatives bring order to chaos with an intentional business strategy and simple systems. She’s passionate about helping creative women unlock their highest level of productivity and create a business and life they love. Jade shares weekly productivity strategies, tips, and resources for business owners on her podcast, The Business Minimalist™, and also recently launched her first planner products! She believes in building your career around your life, and is also a wife, plant mom, avid reader, and DIY home renovator.

In this episode about how to break up with your phone and be more productive, we cover:

• Jade’s love for business and marketing, which ultimately led her to start her own business, instead of staying in the ‘typical’ corporate career
• Realizing the need to pivot in your career and finding the confidence to be able to do so
• Why the standard definition of productivity is not the best way to measure where you should be spending your time and energy as a business owner  
• The 4 question framework you can use that will help guide you in the direction to go in with your career, and do work you ACTUALLY love
• Taking time to really reflect and find clarity on what productivity looks like for you
• Setting healthy boundaries with your devices and social media while still maintaining a presence online + moving your business forward
• How to build out your ideal week, no matter your current role or season of life
• Asking for help (however that looks for you), and realizing you can’t do it all

More about Gather in Growth podcast: 

Where can I connect with fellow rural women who aren’t afraid to dream big dreams? How do I create and sustain daily habits that help me reach my personal and professional goals? Am I the only one that absolutely loves living in the middle of nowhere but wants to understand the world beyond my backyard? What should I do about the unshakable feeling that there’s more to life than just showing up? How do I break free from other people’s opinions and confidently live as my authentic self? 

Welcome to Gather in Growth, a show created for passionate, growth-focused rural women like you. From mindset work and building strong habits to nerding out over personal growth books through the lens of life on a backroad, this is a show to leave you feeling joyful, inspired, ready to take action, and a little less alone. 

Tune in for honest and heart-felt conversations with host, Emily Reuschel, and fellow thought leaders, to talk about personal growth and thriving as a rural woman. Here you’ll gain tactical strategies to bring your dreams to reality, real talk about the ups and downs of tackling goals, meaningful insight from fresh perspectives, and the confidence to step into the calling that’s been laid on your heart for a reason. If you crave to feel seen in a small town, you’re in the right place. 

Whether you’re currently running on a backroad, shuffling kids to town, hopping along for a tractor ride, or three loads deep into folding laundry… we’re in this together. Absolutely anything is possible and I’m so grateful to be on this journey with YOU!
