Do you feel overwhelmed with your todo list? Is "creating fulfilling happiness" missing from that list? Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat is here to help you. In 2-minutes a day, over time, you’ll discover how to reduce overwhelm and create lasting happiness through Katie’s signature method of Intentional Margins, happiness science, and musings about life. Start your day with a positive mindset. Many of us can get deep in the feeling of overwhelm. The anxiety of our own ambition can weigh heavily on our thoughts and emotions. We lay down and close our eyes at night and our chest begins to feel heavy. More items on the to-do list than the day before. How will we ever going to get off the hamster wheel of to-dos? When are we going to start living life for more than the hustle? As a recovering lawyer and passion driven entrepreneur, Katie knew something had to change. What she found is that you can have harmony, be intentionally productive and create massive impact, all at the same time - without feeling guilty. So she asked herself a simple question: "How can I get off the hamster wheel and how can I show others how to do the same? She knew she'd had a system for herself, but she’d never put it into defining words. On August 15, 2019, she sat down at her dining room table with her friend Jenna (her business bestie). Post-It notes covering the table. This is where she first defined the concept of Intentional Margins. What are Intentional Margins? INTENTIONAL MARGINS™ (n): A buffer of space and time to create harmony between your to-do’s and your priorities. Now you can get the support you need to manage your overwhelm, one little tip at a time. Regardless of the industry, Everyday Happiness blends inspiration with a pragmatic approach to finding Harmony. You'll be encouraged to throw “balance” out the window for a more achievable approach called harmony. Through Intentional Margins™, you'll be encouraged to develop what harmony means to you, by identifying your priorities at work and at home. Every day, we'll end the podcast help you feel equipped to jump off the hamster wheel of overwhelm and go out there and crush your day. --About the Host-- Katie Jefcoat is a community curator, speaker, author and motivator who supports ambitious women (and a few good men) move from feeling hectic to harmonious. As a recovering trial lawyer, she knows first hand what it feels like to have a demanding job. As an entrepreneur with a passion that lights her hair on fire and a busy family she’s in the thick of it with you. Many people strive for balance and think overwhelm is just a part of life. Sadly, the hustle culture and our never-ending to-do list is creating a life where our priorities are getting the leftover scraps of time. Katie introduces people to what she calls - Intentional Margins™ - a kind of life in which they reduce randomness, create harmony between their to-dos and their priorities and intentionally enjoy the meaningful parts of life - without feeling guilty. Without exposure to a different way, we remain stuck on the hamster wheel of to-dos and never find the “balance” we yearn for. Katie works diligently to expose her community to different ways of doing things, because she fundamentally believes we deserve to make time for our priorities. We deserve to live a life of harmony. And it’s within our control to create it. Katie curates a smorgasbord of content related to managing your calendar, handling overwhelm, setting boundaries, reducing randomness, saying no, self-care, the power of your choices, and more in her Intentional Margins™ Membership Community -- which she calls the coziest virtual coffee shop (on Facebook).

Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness, where we create lasting happiness in two minutes a day through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host, Katie Jefcoat, and today... it's a big day. I am in so much gratitude, in so much awe and so much appreciation because today is our 200th episode! 200 days of consistently creating "Everyday Happiness". I mean, how much stinking fun is that? It's been such a bright light in my day, and I hope it has inspired you to think about how you want to start your day.
This episode is really just short and sweet. We want to thank so many of our loyal listeners who are subscribing, writing five-star reviews, sharing with friends, all-of-the-things. Following, I guess it's called, on the Instagram, and Facebook, and YouTube, and all the places where you love to get your content.
You wouldn't believe this, but reviews really matter. I will be reaching out on a one-to-one basis, asking people for reviews. If you've been into my DMs, maybe you will get a DM from me again, asking you for a review either on Amazon Alexa Flash briefings or on Apple Podcasts because nobody knows what we're doing and the ripple effect we're having when we're in community with you, if we don't get reviews. And then, Amazon and Apple can do their thing.
So it's such an important part. But it's also the way that we get to show up. We get to create, like I said, this ripple effect of kindness, where we show up in the world in a better way, where we're more intentional. We're thoughtful. We're not being jerks because we've been thinking about
how we're going to create abundance and happiness and Intentional Margin® and how we're going to fill our cups so that we can fill up others' cups.
So I'm just super excited about where we're headed, where we're going, what's in store and
I am so grateful that you have decided to come along on this journey. Really, in this impact, in this space with us to create something that is like nothing we've ever seen before.
So thank you.
