- Love Sarah and her podcast
I love Sarah and her podcast and her book on nest planning. I am a long time planner and I consider planning one of my hobbies. I am a longtime advocate of Dave and Allen’s book getting things done, but I still had trouble getting things checked off my lists. Sarah’s nested planning approach and great weekly tips helped me become way better at getting cool things done.

United States12 days ago - Approachable Planning Fun
I really enjoy the approachable way this podcast discusses planning that makes me feel better about enjoying the planning almost as much as the event itself. Sarah is friendly and enthusiastic about her topic in a way that doesn’t make you feel guilty for not doing everything the way that she does it. Highly recommend!

Whenever I catch myself taking planning and organization a little too “seriously” I find myself gravitating back to Sarah’s podcast. She has such a positive and realistic approach to living an intentional life and I find her shining light to be just the right prescription for my “planning stress”!

Apple Podcasts5elle020820United Statesa month ago - Is your production team speeding up the recording?
I like this podcast but I am compelled to send a message: listening to the “let’s plan our week together” episode and this is the first time I am finding you incredibly hard to listen to. It sounds like your producer sped up your voice? Or you have ingested too much caffeine or meds for the day? You sound manic and it’s literally giving me anxiety. You apologize for the rambling. The rambling isn’t a problem. Your fan base will listen to you as long as it takes within reason. A process episode i... more
