“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” - Maya Angelou

“Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.” - Katherine Mansfield

In this episode of Permission to Pause, I talk about the concept of making small shifts while keeping familiar routines unruffled. Instead of overhauling everything when something isn’t working, what if you adjusted just one piece first--your presence? And even when it is working, this approach brings sustainability through the skill of bringing childlike attention and wonder into your life.

As a life coach for moms will full lives, I share how small but intentional shifts can create more nourishment, presence, and purpose. I draw from personal experiences and coaching insights to explain how to approach routine tasks with a fresh perspective.

I share 7 specific times in your day you can do the same thing, but it feels new and refreshing. Adding a mindful approach makes a big difference in how you feel about the task itself or about your day going forward. Often, the key to more energy and ease is adjusting a small piece rather than a complete overhaul.
