Listen Later

💖 Hey Mama,

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “I’m failing at work, I’m failing at home, and I have no idea how to fix it,” you are so not alone. In this episode, I’m sitting down with the amazing Kim Patten—a mom of two, project manager at an S&P 500 company, and author of Pivot. She’s walked the hard road of transitioning from career life to stay-at-home mom and back again, and today she’s opening up about what really helped her let go of guilt and find balance.

We’re talking through how to create simple routines, manage your time without the overwhelm, and let go of perfection so you can show up for the life you actually want to live. Her “Power of 3” time management strategy is gold—you’ll want to grab a notebook for this one.

Key Takeaways
  • Why so many moms feel like they’re failing in every role—and what to do about it

  • Kim’s “Power of 3” system for daily planning that keeps things simple and focused

  • How to identify whether your daily tasks actually align with your values

  • The real reason we feel so disconnected—and how to reconnect with who you are

  • Practical ideas for routines that calm the chaos and reduce emotional overwhelm

  • How to start involving your kids in home systems (even if it’s not perfect)

  • Encouragement for making big life pivots without fear or regret

    This episode is filled with honest encouragement and practical tools to help you stop striving for perfection and start building a life that feels intentional, calm, and aligned with what matters most.

    Cheering you on 🎉,

    Aubree
