You have a rhythm problem.

The world has never moved faster.

And yet somehow, you’ve never felt more behind.

More lonely.

More like you’re doing all the things and still missing what matters most to you.

You’ve been sold the idea that the answer is a better plan.

👉🏻 More goals, more systems, more hustle, more devices and more AI... 🫠

But a plan isn’t what’s missing.

What's missing is a personal framework that tells you

WHO you want to be,

HOW you want to live,

and WHAT you will and won’t say yes to.

So you stop reacting to life and start actually living it in a way that feels like a life rhythm.

This isn’t a new idea.

It’s ancient wisdom practiced by Saint Benedict, Thomas Merton, and Martin Luther King Jr. but made accessible for the pace of today.

And it’s never been more needed than right now!

is this your current rhythm?

You can’t remember the last time you felt genuinely at peace
You're accomplishing more than ever — and feeling less fulfilled than ever
You've read all the personal development books and you're still exhausted
You know your faith is supposed to be central in your life but you can’t figure out how to make it feel that way
You say yes to everything ... and wonder why there’s nothing left for what actually matters
You keep waiting for life to slow down — but it never does ...
You feel lonely despite being constantly connected, constantly needed, and constantly busy

Banish busyness and discover a new way of being yourself, to do what truly matters!

Do What Matters is the authentic story of a recovering workaholic and her journey, through the loss of her son to drug addiction, to a new way of truly living.

Encouraging you to question the desire to rush through life, she inspires you to discover a deeper, more meaningful source of productive energy and intentional life plan.

For years, I looked like I had it all together.

I had been an Entrepreneur.

A Ministry Leader.

A Farmer’s Wife.

A Mother.

An Achiever.

I was the person who showed up for everyone, said yes to everything,

and kept the plates spinning — no matter the cost.

But beneath the surface, life was in chaos.

I was running on adrenaline, coffee, achievement, and the desperate need

to prove I was enough.

My identity was in my output.

My worth was based on how productive I was.

And it was slowly destroying me.

I didn’t just burn out. I hit a wall so hard it changed everything.

And in the wreckage, I made a decision: there had to be a better way to live.

Today, my life is very different. My hair is no longer on fire.

(And clearly I'm healthier too, Praise God!)

Not because life got easier, nope ... it hasn't.

But because I found a different path to move through it.

I created the REALIFE Process®

10 years ago from my own need. I refined it through years of living it out, and tested it in the lives of hundreds and hundreds of others, just like you. Every day ordinary people, living every day ordinary lives, and found that having a Modern Day Rule of Life™ to guide you offers huge transformation for the better.

I am thrilled to be leading an organization that provides services such as coaching, speaking, retreats and resources to help others live every day from REST, not rush.

Not perfectly. But intentionally.

And that has made all the difference.

do what matters will help you...

DISCOVER YOUR REALSELF™

Before you decide what to do, you have to know who you are. This component takes you through three powerful self-discovery tools — the REALIFE Needs & Values Assessment™, the REALIFE Enneagram Personality Profile™, and the REALIFE Process Mindmap™ — to uncover what makes you uniquely you.

DEVELOP A MODERN DAY RULE OF LIFE™

through unique and simple behaviors, rhythms, and routines. This is how you become intentional in your every day living.

IDENTIFY THE AREAS OF FOCUS™

You'll define 5 – 7 key Areas of Focus and capture it all in your personal REALIFE VIEW™ Document: the written compass for your life.

MOVE FORWARD WITH REALIFE ACTION™

You move, not with a long list of goals that hover over you and breed guilt, but with 2–3 focused 90-day Projects that create real, steady forward motion in what matters most. Bite-sized. Doable. Life-changing over time.

PRIORITIZE YOUR DAYS USING REALIFE TIME™

This is where your values meet your calendar. Using four TIME Blocks — PRESENT (self-care and soul-care), PEOPLE (intentional relationship time), PROJECT (focused work), and PREP (everyday tasks and margin) — you build a framework that reflects what actually matters. Not time management. Time stewarding.

USE RHYTHMS FOR REALIFE LIVING™

This is the piece most productivity systems completely skip, and it’s the one that makes everything else sustainable. Weekly and quarterly rhythms of Rest, Renew, and Review keep you from drifting back to the hair-on-fire life. Including the signature 90 DAY Reset™ to recalibrate your entire rule of life every quarter.

Who is this audiobook for?

The driven, the faith-filled, and the worn-out
Recovering workaholics
High-achievers who suspect there’s a better way to live
Anyone who has ever felt like a jar of shaken river water, now ready to let the sediment settle

lies we tell ourselves ... that don't work!

AND WHAT YOU NEED INSTEAD:

"I just need a better plan."
A plan tells you what to do. A Modern Day Rule of Life™ tells you who to be.
"Better time management means time blocking everything."
Structure without soul is just a prettier cage. Learning to steward your time intentionally with the REALIFE Process® helps you do what matters most to you with the time that you have.
"I just need better work-life balance."
Balance is a myth. Rhythm is what’s real and what will sustain you.
"Feeling accomplished means hitting a big goal."
Achievement without alignment to who God designed you to be and your calling will always feel empty. Discern your BEING and your doing will follow.
"Rest is something you earn."
Rest is something God designed into you. You don’t earn it, you practice it as you Rest, Renew and Review.
"Busy = productive = meaningful."
Busy is not a calling. It’s a coping mechanism. A Modern Day Rule of Life™ designed by you and God together creates a meaningful life full of purpose and impact.
