I'm so happy to be here - especially after an extended hiatus from working on & in my biz!! 😊
My work with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) fills my soul with joy!! 🦋 I'm a counselor/mentor - mainly with young women in their 20s (thus far). While I work primarily 1:1, I look forward to creating a small group program/offering down the road a ways. I also love to write. 📓✏
I help HSPs deal with feelings of anxiety & overwhelm so they're able to live life with more ease & joy. 🌻 Together, we work on issues/topics such as confidence + resilience + self-love + self-respect + more!!
Clients tell me that I'm genuine, caring, enthusiastic & trustworthy. I've been known to say that there's a solution for almost all challenges/problems. I wholeheartedly believe that!!
My lengthy & diverse work experience includes high school teaching, community mental health counseling & parish ministry.
I'm contemplating my hopes/dreams/goals for this amazing ABC program. I plan to report back with more details soon. ✔
btw: I'm 64 years young, live in San Diego, CA & love kitty cats. They're my spirit animal‼️🐈⬛
Peace + Love. ♥️

⏳ How to manage your time with ABC / MasterHeart
Once the program begins (the first week of January), there will be lots of opportunities to engage and get support: Click here for the list of member-only calls All calls are optional. However, the less you engage, the less you'll benefit from the program... I recommend this 4-step plan for everyone: Sometime in the beginning of your membership, try out each type of call. Click the link above to see what's available. Which call is most helpful for you? Plan to attend it regularly. Do your best to attend at least one call per month to check-in with the community and with George. Have you put it into your calendar? 😊 Netcaring with other members is a valuable opportunity while you're in the program. Consider scheduling 30-60 minutes once a month (or week!) to practice one skill of netcaring, even if simply to reach out to someone new and say hello, maybe get together for a half-hour virtual tea? See more netcaring tips here. Plan your time so that you can utilize the program well. Although all calls are optional, try to attend as many as you would enjoy, so you can stay connected to authentic business strategies ✨ If you have other tips for your fellow members about managing time & energy with this program, comment below 🙏🏼😊
I've also been in George's world for a while, and consumed all-the-things... I have a big full brain now. 🤣... and I learned that I needed to slow down, pace myself, and not emulate George entirely.
I had to take what most aligned, and add my own wisdom and voila = personal magic.
and... other things that have helped me..
- really deciding week to week how much time I had available, and for what - meaning I would reverse plan my calendar, plugging in everything that I knew was set in stone, including... sleep... meals.. errands.. existing appts etc. some weeks I had 5 hours, some weeks I had 20.. and so on.
- knowing that everything is adjustable and temporary -- what works for a few weeks, might not work "forever"
- recognizing that I actually didn't have to watch every single video (and I'm a recovering "perfectionist type A personality") so that wasn't easy... but going through the buffet concept.. a bite here.. a bite there.. was very helpful especially if I was looking for something specific that I needed to work on.
I trust that you are always right on time, exactly where you need to be, and whatever is meant for you won't pass you by. 🪶
and..
George can help with personal to you guidance on any Q&A call in the new year as well. :)
Intentional reverse planning of the calendar sounds like an interesting experiment, too. I think I've sort of been doing this -- but want to play with it more :)
(full disclosure: I have printed off your response, taped it to the inside of my notebook, and highlighted the things I want to practice and build awareness around as I figure out my own rhythm and engagement here)
✍🏽 What is your joyful productivity structure for 2024 of working your business?
To have a financially sustainable business will require you to have a sustainable time/energy management structure for you to work on your business. I'll call that your "joyful productivity structure". What does that look like for you? Comment below and share with us anything you'd like to share about your structure. Resource to help you create -- and keep integrity with -- your joyful pro structure: The 111 Formula -- Go to the BizPlan course and scroll down to the 111 Formula Module. The Weekly Plan -- Go to Joyful Pro course and scroll down to the module "Weekly Planning". The Q&A calls with me -- they start in January -- come to any Q&A call and ask for help to clarify your structure. Your monthly call with your Accountability Buddy (starting in January) is where you can revisit your structure, what you're learning about it (and about yourself), and recommit to the integrity of the structure. Besides adding your comment below, also look at some of the latest comments -- what do you appreciate about what they wrote? What can you learn from it? (If you don't see any comments below, it means you're currently logged out, or don't have access to this course.)
So happy to meet you, Kat‼️🥰
I would love to hear from members who have been participating in MH/ABC already. As a new member, I am a bit overwhelmed with where to focus. I'm getting emails for ABC, Soul Gym, Joyful Productivity, Authentic Content Creation plus George's regular updates. I already feel "behind" (even knowing that there isn't any external standard or deadline to meet) and I am sure that is not the intent. Suggestions welcome.
Thank you!
I hear you@Mary Veerkamp , and thanks for sharing. I'm going to copy and paste something important @George Kao wrote in the ABC Values section:
"You can never “fall behind” because everyone moves at their own pace, and chooses how to participate at their own rhythm. If you’ve been absent from calls or the group for awhile, you are welcome to jump in again anytime! No worries at all."
1). As someone who engages with almost everything George puts out there, my best recommendation is to go one step at a time and take only what you need in each moment.
2). To do this, start from understanding & setting your own personal and business priorities for the year (what exactly do you wish to get from the groups?) and then engaging in such a way that serves those priorities -- letting go of everything else for now.
3). This also means that if you are getting too many email notifications from areas you're currently not focused on, you can turn them off temporarily until you are ready to re-engage. That way you're only notified about things you have energy to take care of.
4). In the end, remember that what George serves us is like a buffet: You get to pick and choose... and only you can decide how much you put in your plate.
I hope this helps... and feel free to ask any follow up questions.
I copied the spreadsheet that@Heather Tobin created for George's courses and sat down with it to get some clarity on where my priorities ought to be focused right now and what I am interested in and want to hold off on in service to the closer term priorities.
Next: to acknowledge the FOMO (fear of missing out) and turn off notifications for some of George's emails.
