Ditch the Chaos: The Productivity Rebellion
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving woman who's tired of cramming yourself into productivity systems designed for robots, not women juggling "all the things"?
You've tried the morning routines, downloaded the apps, color-coded the calendars—yet you're still drowning in a sea of "shoulds" that don't actually align with what you want your life to look like.
Here's what's really happening: You're not failing at productivity. You're checking the boxes of everyone else's rules while your own priorities get buried under an avalanche of borrowed expectations.
You find yourself saying yes to opportunities that look impressive but leave you feeling empty and drained. Following advice from productivity gurus who seem to thrive on the exact routines that make you want to burn it all down. Feeling guilty because the "proven systems" everyone raves about just don't fit the way your brain actually works or the life you actually want to build.
Sound familiar? You're not broken, you're just trying to be productive in a way that ignores who you actually are - your dreams, your goals, your success.
Ditch the Chaos: The Productivity Rebellion is the productivity podcast for the ambitious, Type-A woman who's ready to stop apologizing for not being everything to everyone - least of all themselves - and to stop "performing" productivity.
Hosted by Cara Chace - 10-year online entrepreneur, mom, homeschooler, and unapologetic lover of naps - this show teaches you to create white space in your calendar and breathing room in your brain, so you can get crystal clear on your true priorities before you ever write another to-do list.
Instead of handing you another system to follow, we're going to help you design your own time management routines that actually work for your brain, your values, and your version of success.
You'll learn how to identify which "productivity rules" are keeping you overwhelmed and stuck, set boundaries that protect what matters most, and create your own playbook for getting things done without losing yourself in the process.
Each week, you'll get practical productivity tips for ambitious women, real talk about rejecting productivity pressure, and permission to build a work-life balance that looks nothing like the highlight reels you're comparing yourself to.
It's time to stop trying to fit into systems that weren't made for you. It's time to question the rules and make your own.

Weekly Planning That Sticks: A System That Survives Real Life
If your weekly plan always falls apart by Monday, you’re not failing—the system is. Most “perfect planner” methods collapse under real life, leaving you frustrated and burned out. A true weekly planning system isn’t about discipline or rigid schedules—it’s about flexibility, simplicity, and making it stick.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, I’m walking you through how to simplify your week with a routine that flexes with curveballs. Whether your calendar explodes by midweek or you just can’t keep up with complicated systems, this episode shows you how to build a flexible routine that works in real life.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most weekly planning systems fail by Monday
- The simple steps that make planning a habit instead of a chore
- How to organize your workday without overcomplicating tools
- Why white space is strategy, not laziness
- The mindset shift that makes weekly planning sustainable
These lessons are part of what I teach inside Chaos Detox—because consistency in planning isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about creating a system that flexes with your life.
