Live an Intentional Life

This is the Live an Intentional Life podcast, where busy working parents will learn everything they need to know to help take back control of your time, your schedule, and craft the life of your dreams. 

Hosted by Dr Natalie Barre, former neuropsychologist turned time management coach, this podcast will help you to move from busy and burnt out to feeling at ease and accomplished.

I cover time management, cognition, procrastination, rest, planning, and so much more, so that you can get rid of the hustle and spend time doing the activities that are meaningful to you.
