BLP at Home: Planning 2025!


I’m excited to announce that the non-travel version of BLP Live is back once again! BLP Live was born when I thought it would be really fun do to do a weekend of guided annual planning, and will be taking place this November in South FL. But many of you reached out to find out if there was an easier way of getting the essence of the experience without the travel, and with that, BLP at Home was born!

BLP at Home is my guided annual planning experience delivered through interactive workshops, all viewable from the cozy comfort of your own home. It includes a (pretty and newly redesigned) pdf workbook and 4 hours of planning together (two live options, or attend asynchronously) to help you craft your vision and inspire you to think through 2025, from work to fun to routines and practical matters and beyond. There is also a WhatsApp thread for sharing — I am always motivated and inspired by goals lists and ideas that others share!

Details available here! Note: last year’s sessions did fill up, plus I am offering a discount to registrants who enroll prior to November 1st, so the current price is below last year’s — it will return to the regular price 11/1, so please don’t wait!

Show Notes

Highlights of this episode:

  • A listener (Bridget) shares her experiences with a homemade display showing Google calendar – her setup, impact on kids, husband, etc!
  • Discussion of screen time consciousness and the app Aro, which gamifies putting away your phone (into their special lockbox or otherwise)
  • Lots of inspiration if you are starting to think about (yes already) setting up your 2025 planner! I share my top 10 uses/views I end up returning to over and over again in my system. (Prior ep mentioning Ideal Week here)

    Great episode! I just received my 2025 Sprouted Planner last week and have been excited to dig into it so thanks for the permission that it’s ok to start using it whenever I want! Loved your 10 ideas for planner spreads as well.
    Heather made a ton of great changes to this year’s Sprouted Planner. I know you’ve reviewed her before so might be worth a refresh!
