MEET THE FOUNDER

I’m Karma Bucknor—an entrepreneur, educator, mother of five, grandmother, college student, and the woman behind Schedule Yourself In.


Since 2006, I have managed and operated two private schools while raising my children, building businesses, teaching, and continuing my education. My life is full, purposeful, and often demanding. I am also navigating life as a newly single woman and managing fibromyalgia, a condition I was diagnosed with in 2018.


Through every season, I have learned that caring for myself cannot be something I do only when everything else is finished. I intentionally make time for my faith, therapy, exercise, medical appointments, rest, and the self-care routines that help me feel like myself. I also protect meaningful time with my family—including two sleepovers each week with my granddaughter, no matter how busy life becomes.


Schedule Yourself In was created from my real life. I know what it means to carry a vision, care for others, meet endless responsibilities, and still need space for yourself. I do not have perfect balance, but I have learned to be intentional—and I want to help other women do the same.


My message is simple: You do not have to disappear behind everything you are building. You deserve a place on your own schedule, too.

WHY SCHEDULE YOURSELF IN EXISTS?

 Schedule Yourself In was created from a truth I know personally: ambitious women often become so focused on caring for their families, managing their responsibilities, and building their dreams that they slowly place themselves last.


This brand exists to remind women that prioritizing themselves is not selfish—it is necessary. You should not have to sacrifice your peace, health, faith, or identity to become successful.


Through honest encouragement, practical resources, intentional self-care products, and faith-centered guidance, Schedule Yourself In helps women make room for their whole selves. Our purpose is to help you pursue the vision, care for the woman behind it, and build a life in which you are not simply included—you are a priority.

OUR MISSION

 Schedule Yourself In empowers female entrepreneurs to build successful businesses without losing themselves in the process. Through faith-centered guidance, intentional self-care, practical organization, and thoughtfully designed resources, we help women protect their peace and prioritize themselves without guilt—because the woman behind the vision deserves care too.

MORE THAN A BOOK

Schedule Yourself In began as a book, but the vision is much bigger. It is becoming a complete lifestyle brand created to help women care for themselves while continuing to build the lives, families, and businesses they love.


Through empowering books, guided journals, thoughtfully curated self-care bundles, and practical resources, Schedule Yourself In will give women simple ways to protect their peace, support their well-being, and make themselves a priority. In the future, the Schedule Yourself In app will bring these tools together, helping women intentionally place rest, reflection, wellness, and personal care on their schedules.


This is more than something you read—it is a reminder, a practice, and a lifestyle. You deserve to be included in the life you are working so hard to create.

You deserve to pursue the vision without disappearing behind it.

It is time to protect your peace, prioritize your well-being, and schedule yourself in.”
