Kim Sutton
Founder, Positive Productivity
Dear friend, it’s important you know and trust I will ALWAYS be honest with you… EVEN when it means admitting the messy, ugly truths of my own entrepreneurial journey… And I have a lot of messy, ugly truths.
For example, I, Kim Sutton, know what it’s like to…
- Be inauthentic in my business because I am more concerned with what others thought than being true to myself
- Focus on quantity instead of quality, offering services because I want money, NOT because I enjoy doing them;
- Miss important family moments because I “need” one more minute to work;
- Work 20 hour days, 7 days a week to find my bank account empty and my mental and physical health suffering;
- Jump from one idea to the next never finishing a project and thus never making money from my ideas;
- Fall victim to Shiny Object Syndrome, buying courses, products and programs thinking they will success;
I, Kim Sutton, also know how to recover from the above pains. I know because I have personally experienced them!
I know the true cost of letting the expectations of others control our lives, and I don’t want to see you fall victim to the same negative side-effects of entrepreneurship I did.
So… Do you want to continue being a slave to unsatisfying expectations? Or are you ready to create joy and money pursuing your passion?
I’m committed to empowering you with the systems and strategies you need to help you embrace your true calling WITHOUT sacrificing revenue, your health, or time with loved ones.
I invite you to join me on the Work Smarter, Not Harder journey. Subscribe to the podcast, join the community and get ready to see your business and personal life change for the better. I wish you all my best, dear friend, and I can’t wait to see you soar while building a business that’s authentically YOU.

As one prone to overthinking and rumination, I am navigating silence, or a lacktherof, in an effort to heal and find peace in my new life.
Discovering Myself
Just shy of nine months divorced, I’m on a journey of discovering myself and finally being honest with myself and others.
Seeking Validation
It’s time to stop seeking validation from external sources and start looking within ourselves. Kim shares how she has started her journey.

My heart is healing.
That doesn`t mean I don`t feel moments of pain, but I am making progress in that I have found ways to be grateful for the pain I experienced and the lessons I learned in the process.
💗 I have found a great appreciation for all the AMAZING people in my life and the unconditional love they show me.
🏁 I have found relief that I didn`t allow my stubbornness to "win" keep me in harmful/hurtful situations any longer than I was in them.
🚩 And I have found relief knowing that I have the confidence and strength to run away red flags as soon as I see them (and not feel guilty for doing so).
😭 My crying quota has been reduced to once every few weeks 🤣 and my best friend and I can have a conversation which doesn`t include me discussing my hurt. 🤦♀️🙌
🌷 Most important, I`m finding joy in being single. I`m alone but I`m not lonely, and I`m realizing there`s a difference. I chose to go to GOD to get over him rather than get under someone else and I feel more emotionally strong and stable than I have felt... ever. Do I always feel great? Nope. But, rather than indulge in my vices to ease my pain, I am reaching out to my church family for help.
👣 Progress takes time, one day at a time, one step at a time, one line in my journal at a time. I thank God that I didn`t give up.
"For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." ~ Philippians 2:13
Confession: I struggled with this verse untiI did a search to learn more about what it meant.
I struggled because I couldn`t understand how it was God who works in people who hurt others.
Now, don`t get me wrong. I know that nobody is perfect. Christians are not perfect. Followers of Jesus aren`t perfect. We ALL hurt other people. But some people do it on purpose, constantly, while others do it occasionally and/or on accident.
When I looked up this verse, the guide I found said the verse is referring to God working within believers, those who WANT to do the will of God. And not all believers WANT to do the will of God. Some believers want to do what THEY want to do, regardless of whether what they`re doing is good or evil.
I`m tired, I admit it.
I`m tired of following my own will and desires to wind up shattered and broken.
I`m ready for God to work in me to fulfill his good purpose.
I love Apple Music. I admit it. But... This past week I felt like they/it tore my heart out and shredded it to pieces.
Why?
Well, they showed me compilations of my most listened to music from each of the past 6 years. Sigh.
The moment I pushed play on my 2023 playlist, just to see/hear what it contained, I felt my stomach jump to my throat. Tears formed in my eyes as I hastily tried to turn the playlist off.
Each song reminded me of someone.
Each song reminded me of plans we made, plans which will never happen.
Each song reminded me of heartbreak I continue to work through, struggling to look ahead instead of behind.
Each song reminded me of the conversation I wanted to have and the apology I wanted to hear.
And each song reminded me how everything I heard was a lie.
I won`t play the 2023 playlist again, and if, by chance, any of the songs pop up in another playlist, I will quickly fast forward past them.
I deserve to listen to a positive life playlist.
I deserve to surround myself by people who support me and encourage me, not those who want me to feel small.
And you do, too.
We`re determined to ride EVERY roller coaster this summer but there may be one or two the twins need to wait until next year to be tall enough for. In the meantime, we`ll be pushing the limits of our season pass!
I`ve learned a lot about myself AND people in general over the past couple years and, of all the lessons I`ve learned, the most surprising is that I no longer consider people who 1) admit their mistakes and 2) apologize weak but, on the contrary, I now consider them incredibly strong.
A coward is someone who runs from their mistakes, cutting off the people with whom they made the mistake and/or pretending the mistake never happened to themselves and/or others.
Regardless of how long ago the mistake was made, I would consider someone incredibly, incredibly, brave if they returned and apologized. It takes incredible strength to own that you`re not perfect and that you hurt someone. It takes incredible strength to stop deflecting onto others and to own the hurt you caused. It takes incredible strength to say "I was wrong."
You know who else is strong?
The person who chose not to be a coward suffering in silence and instead said, "This hurt me. Please stop. I want to talk this out."
The person who chooses to walk away from someone who repeatedly hurts them but will not take responsibility for their actions is incredibly strong.
And the victim is even stronger when they choose not to live in hate but to forgive, regardless of whether they ever receive an apology.
I don`t have room in my life for cowards. I don`t have room in my life for people who won`t admit they, too, have made mistakes. I am FAR from perfect but I will own every mistake and harsh word and apologize for them, and I expect EVERYONE in my life (to be able) to do the same.
