In this episode of What She Taught Me with Jill Consor Beck of Go Long, we meet Ronna Belinky — founder of Workflows by Ronna. Her mother taught her kindness, compassion, and non-judgment — mostly by example — so subtly that Ronna never noticed it happening in real time, only recognizing it as a pattern in hindsight. That inheritance shows up now as "showing up": for her kids' games and swim meets, for friends and family on hard anniversaries, and in the compassionate, non-shaming approach to organization and time management that defines her own business. Listen to the episode to learn where Ronna differs from her mother's approach, and why she doesn't see that as a loss.Resources mentioned:• Workflows by Ronna — https://www.workflowsbyronna.com/resources• Gretchen Rubin's Five-Year Journal — https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Gretchen+Rubin+five+year+journalMore about Ronna:• Website — https://workflowsbyronna.com• Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/workflowsbyronnaMore about Jill & Go Long:• Sign-up for Go Long's newsletter — https://golong.substack.com/subscribe• Learn more about Go Long — https://www.golong.me/how-it-works• Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/justgolong/• Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/justgolong• LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/go-long/Jump to:
