Design a Life You Love with Dr. Katie Sandoe

What if you approached your life with the same intentionality that organizations bring to strategic planning? In this episode of Money Without Math, Karen Coyne sits down with leadership strategist, speaker, and "Sparkologist" Dr. Katie Sandoe to explore her personal strategic planning process. Inspired by years of leading strategic planning sessions for organizations, Dr. Katie adapted many of those same principles to help create greater clarity, purpose, and alignment in her own life.  Together, they discuss the power of deep reflection, creating space away from everyday distractions, identifying what truly deserves your time and energy, and building a roadmap for the next season of your life. Dr. Katie shares the questions she asks herself each year, the tools she uses to make intentional decisions, and how this process ultimately led her to launch her own business and design a life she loves. Whether you dedicate a full week, a single day, or just an hour, this conversation will inspire you to stop drifting and start living with greater intention.
