The Maisie Hill Experience

What do you do when your capacity drops, but life and work still need your attention? In this episode, I'm talking about how to stay in relationship with what matters to you during low energy seasons without pushing yourself or disappearing altogether. If you've ever judged yourself for not operating at full speed, this conversation will give you a different way to think about effort, consistency, and self-leadership.
     
I introduce two concepts I use to navigate lower capacity days and seasons: operational minimums and needle movers. This episode invites you to lead yourself well when conditions are not ideal. It's about resisting the extremes of pushing through or switching off, and instead finding a steady middle ground that supports long-term momentum and self-trust. If you want a way to honour your capacity while still showing up for your life, this framework will help you do exactly that.

Do you have a lot of ideas and wonder what to do with them? In today's episode, we're continuing the conversation about managing your ideas effectively. Having many ideas is not the issue. How you engage with them is what truly matters. I'll explain how to embrace your nature as an idea generator and how to decide which ideas to focus on and which ones to let go of.
  
I'll also share why letting go of some ideas can create space for the ones that really align with your goals. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical strategies to help you decide which ideas are worth pursuing and how to focus on the ones that matter most. Managing your ideas is about being intentional and choosing what fits your long-term vision.

What if the effort you're putting in right now is counting for far more than you realise? In this episode, I'm talking about what effort actually looks like in winter and why this season often gets misunderstood. When motivation feels lower, progress looks smaller, or everything seems to require more energy, it's easy to assume you're falling behind. I want to offer a different way of understanding what's really happening when things feel heavier.
   
I explore why winter effort rarely comes with instant rewards and how that can distort your perception of progress. This episode looks at the danger of measuring winter work with summer expectations, and why doing so can lead you to underestimate yourself and question whether your goals are working. Winter isn't just about the calendar. It's any season where capacity is reduced, margins are tighter, or life is asking more of you than usual.

Have you ever reached the end of a busy season and thought, next time I want this to be easier? In this episode, I'm sharing a simple process you can use to capture what actually worked for you while it's still fresh, instead of forgetting and repeating the same patterns again. This is about learning from your own lived experience so you can support yourself better the next time you face disruption, change, or intensity.
 
I use the holiday season as a practical example because it compresses so many pressures into a short space of time. Routines change, demands increase, and familiar dynamics resurface. That makes it a rich source of information about how you function, where you've grown, and where support is still missing. I walk you through how to review a period like this with honesty and curiosity, so you can recognise both your progress and the places where different choices would help.

What happens when your vision for the future feels confusing or unreasonable, or like it's been borrowed from someone else's life? These are the kinds of questions that came up when I delivered Design Your Decade, a three-day intensive where we zoom all the way out to a 10-year vision and then bring things back sharply into focus.
  
In this episode, I'm sharing a selection of questions from the bonus Q&A recording that was created after the experience. We cover everything from how to interpret a visualisation that didn't match what you expected, to navigating the difference between fear and intuition, to staying connected to your vision when your energy inevitably shifts throughout your cycle. This is the kind of coaching that helps you tell the truth to yourself without collapsing or outsourcing your authority.
