  • #117 - The Most Effective Workflow Processes (That Your Brain Will Thank You For)
    Aug 28 2025

    Have you ever ended the day wondering, “Why am I so tired when I barely got anything done?”


    Do you feel like you’re constantly switching between tasks and still can’t keep up?


    Does your to-do list keep growing no matter how hard you work?

    If so, you’re not alone—and this week’s podcast episode is going to make your day feel a whole lot lighter.

    In this episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m breaking down what a brain-friendly workflow actually looks like—and why most of us were never taught how to set one up.

    You’ll learn how your workflow might be quietly draining your energy, keeping your brain stuck in decision fatigue, and making you feel like you’re always behind (even when you’re not).

    We’ll talk about what a smarter workflow really is—and the small changes that can help you get more done, feel less scattered, and stop wasting energy trying to “power through” your day.

    This episode is especially for you if:

    • You’re constantly asking yourself, “What was I doing again?”
    • You get to the end of the day and feel like your brain is fried
    • You’ve tried all the apps and still feel overwhelmed
    • You’re tired of working harder and want things to feel easier

    This one is packed with insights that your accountant brain will thank you for—so don’t miss it.

  • #116 - The Top 5 Career Mistakes I've Made (That I Hope You Don't Make)
    Aug 21 2025

    Have you ever looked back and thought, “Why didn’t I do that differently?”

    Have you ever felt like your career doesn’t quite feel the way you hoped it would—but you can’t put your finger on why?

    You’re not alone.

    This week on The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m opening up about the top 5 career mistakes I’ve made in my 35+ years as an accountant—and why I hope you don’t make them too.

    These aren’t mistakes like missing deadlines or forgetting to reply to an email. These are the sneaky, brain-driven habits that feel smart at the time...but quietly lead to burnout, frustration, and a career that doesn’t feel fulfilling.

    This episode is especially for you if:

    • You feel like you're doing all the “right” things but still aren’t satisfied
    • You’re stuck in the cycle of overworking and people-pleasing
    • You’ve never really defined what “enough” or “success” means to you
    • You’re wondering if your career path is really working for your life

    If any of that sounds familiar, I promise this episode will give you a new perspective—and a lot of relief.
