Episode Summary

In this episode, I walk you through what my tech stack actually looks like and then flip the conversation on its head. Instead of listing every tool I use, I talk about why you probably don’t need half the tools you think you do. I share how I manage my business simply, why I don’t use popular project management platforms like Notion or ClickUp, and how your tech decisions should reflect your brain and your values, not what’s trending online. I also share a few life updates, including my upcoming birthday sale, how writing class is stretching me creatively, and why I’ve been building Lego flower sets in my office.


Topics I Talk About

  • My upcoming birthday sale 
  • Building Lego flower sets and leaning into hobbies as a childless adult
  • Working more than I want to lately and needing to get back to my Brick boundaries
  • What people really mean when they ask about your “tech stack”
  • Why you don’t automatically need project management software
  • My strong feelings about Notion, ClickUp, and task-based systems for my brain
  • The danger of copying someone else’s tech stack just because it works for them
  • Why simplicity in your tech can be a strategic choice, not a limitation
  • How I ran my entire PT practice on a very lean tech stack
  • Why your tech decisions should align with your values and how you function
