The Burner Theory: Ciji’s framework for throttling her energy and focus based on what she needs most in a given moment.

Evening Prep for Morning Ease: The nighttime routines that make her mornings smooth and stress-free.

Shifting Household Labor: How an annual planning session with her husband led to a more balanced division of responsibilities—including weekend dinners.

Fun Food Fridays: The family tradition that makes Friday nights joyful and easy.

Founding Balanced Not Busy: What inspired her to start the platform and her mission to connect with women in all life stages.
