I've noticed that when I have a tough day or week, I often need to create a ritual to help me kick back in gear (instead of going down a rabbit hole of why I am not good enough, or a "bad" mom).

In today's episode, I share some insight on how you can reset your mind and energy after experiencing a difficult week. I break it down into some practical steps that I until this day utilize on a continous basis.

It's hard to be a working mom and juggle so much, so give yourself grace and remember you are doing the best that you possible can!

You are doing an amazing job, mama.

Tune in today, and listen to the whole episode.

Such a good episode for you today!

I am joined by a special guest, Lisa Boate. She is tranformational coach for working moms (primarily over 45). We connected on many levels - especially sharing on the importance of self compassion and self love, especially thinking of moms who wear so many hats.

Lisa helps moms discover who they are especially as they transition to a phase of life when kids are no longer in the home. This was a great perspective to tap into - as I have little ones still in the home.

In today's episode, Lisa shares her tips as a coach who has worked with many women and moms. We discuss what that self discovery process truly looks like and the beginning steps that you can be doing to get you started (whether you have kids leaving the home or young ones at home it can be applied to both.

You won't want to miss today's episode and all the gems left from her.

In today's episode, I share some insight on decision making and how important the decisions we make are when it comes to our everyday balance.

When I think of decision making, I think of making a commitment. When you commit to something, you make sure you do it no matter what. And then those decisions (then actions) result in some kind of outcome (whether good or bad).

Every decision we make leads to something else, don't forget that.

Today's episode I break down 12 mid year questions to ask yourself when resetting and clarifying your goals. This is such an important practice to help you gain clarity on what it is that you need to do. Otherwise, it becomes very easy to become overwhelmed and stressed - moving with little to no direction.

Tune into the episode and please don't mind my screaming child at certain bits, along with my terrible counting of what question I was on --- clearly an off day.

An important episode nonetheless!
