Welcome to the Beyond Busyness Podcast
If you’re a driven female entrepreneur, chances are you’ve built your business on hard work, hustle, and late-night to-do list sessions. You’re doing all the “right” things — juggling clients, content, offers, emails, launches, maybe even ads — but it still feels like you’re always behind.
The truth?
You’re not unorganized. You’re just at capacity.
And no amount of batching, color-coding, or downloading another productivity app is going to fix it.
If you’re asking questions like…
“How do I grow without working more hours?”
“What should I actually focus on this week?”
“Why does my business feel so heavy even though I love what I do?”
…then you’re in the right place.
I’m Kristen Van Horn — time strategist and planner creator for female entrepreneurs scaling to their next level. After working with hundreds of women growing businesses while raising families and running full lives, I created this podcast to help you break free from the burnout cycle and build a business that’s both profitable and sustainable.
Inside, you’ll get simple strategies, honest conversations, and behind-the-scenes coaching to help you plan smarter, show up better, and create real momentum — without burning out or giving up your weekends.
Let’s move beyond busyness… and into your next level.

20 BOOKS IN 2021: WE'VE HIT THE HALFWAY POINT
I set a goal in 2020 to read 20 books. Unfortunately, I came up shy of that goal. So, in 2021, I decided to try again, but this time, I’m forcing myself to read the books I already have before I can buy or borrow any new ones. Halfway through the year, I’m on track to hit my 20 book goal!

SEASONS OF REST VS. SEASONS OF RUNNING
Friend, whatever season you’re in, TRUST. Have faith that this is where God wants you right now for a reason. And remember, this is truly only a season. It’s hard to be patient - we are a society of immediate gratification and a want for fun, fast and easy. It’s not always going to be that way, but if we TRUST God’s timing, you’ll know why it was worth the wait.
