Why I Still Make Time for My Passion Project—Even While Juggling 8 Companies

Why I Still Make Time for My Passion Project—Even While Juggling 8 Companies

Lesson: Hustle Is Empty Without Heart‍

Between business coaching, investing, and running multiple companies, my calendar looks like a game of Tetris. Yet I protect one non-negotiable block every week: recording The Girl Dad Show podcast. It’s my reminder that success isn’t just revenue charts—it’s connection, vulnerability, and building community around parenthood. But also staying true to your passion projects. 

Insight: Passion Projects Keep You Human

• Soul Fuel – Sharing real stories with other parents re-centers my “why.”
  
  
• Vulnerability = Growth – Opening up on mic teaches me as much as any MBA case study.
  
  
• Community Matters – The podcast attracts listeners who get the chaos of juggling business and diapers—and we help each other stay sane.
  
  

You can chase KPIs all day, but without something that lights you up, burnout is inevitable.

Action Item: Schedule Your Own 1-Hour Passion Block

1. Identify Your Spark – Podcasting, painting, gardening—whatever feeds your soul.
   
   
2. Reserve a Weekly Slot – Put it in your calendar like a board meeting.
   
   
3. Guard It Ruthlessly – Treat that hour as sacred; your mental ROI will dwarf any lost “productivity.”
