Today’s episode, I go into the concept of time blocks and calendar techniques, which serve as tools to prioritize tasks that truly matter.
By assigning specific time blocks to tasks, such as recording this podcast episode during my toddler’s nap time or planning activities around work schedules, you can create a structured day that maximizes productivity without compromising peace of mind.
This structured approach is further complemented by the psychological benefits of activating the prefrontal cortex, which seeks accomplishment and rewards us with dopamine boosts, therefore reinforcing productivity.
Tune in and be prepared to walk away with a fresh outlook on the time you have and how to maximize it to its fullest potential.

Today, I’m focusing into a topic that often gets overlooked but is so important—staying excited about your transition. Whether you’re transitioning out of the military or simply looking at your next career move, ask yourself: Are you excited about it? If the answer is no, don’t worry, we’re going to talk about how to reignite that spark.
In this episode, I’m sharing why we often lose excitement about the possibilities ahead and how to bring that energy back into the process. We tend to get bogged down by everything going on—work, appointments, life’s to-do lists—and it can feel overwhelming. But here’s the truth: If we’re not showing up excited for the next chapter, it’s going to show—whether in our interviews, on LinkedIn, or at networking events.
Also, I want to invite you to join me in my Brave and Bold Bootcamp, where you’ll get support in identifying your next role, building your personal brand, and refining your job search strategy, this six-week coaching program is for you. We start on October 14th, so make sure to sign up at wendiwray.com/coaching. You’ll get access at the lowest price as a founding member!
