Description

This week’s guest quite literally puts the pro in productivity! She’s an official productivity coach, a self-declared recovering perfectionist, and a calendaring enthusiast (more on that later!). Mridu Parikh is the founder of Life Is Organized, an initiative that teaches women in business to “wake up with a plan”. Her mission is to help them fulfill their demands, set clear boundaries, and eliminate distractions — all while being in control of their intention and attention. For anyone looking to exchange their burnout for ease, she’s the woman to turn to. She’s all about using systemization as a tool to achieve the freedom you deserve — while making sure that you’re still getting everything done! However, her journey from being a client services employee in New York to finally finding her calling as a full-time productivity coach was not without its bumps. Like many of us, she experienced burnout, felt dissatisfied with the cards handed to her, and tried several career options before she found the path she was destined for (ALL while raising a family!). In this week’s episode, she takes us through her journey, shares her coaching process, and discusses all things productivity for women.
