Dr. Sarah Mitchell is a chiropractor by training but she found her true calling empowering parents to teach their little ones to sleep when her first child just would not sleep. With 8 years of health education training, Sarah was shocked that she didn't know how to get her son to sleep in an easy and sustainable manner. So she did her research and ended up finding her passion as a sleep consultant.

Over the years of working with hundreds of parents, Dr. Sarah has realized that there is a disconnect between the idealism of parenting and the reality of it. We think getting your baby to sleep and parenting should be a natural instinctual experience. However it's not usually that easy and this challenge leaves many parents feeling confused and defeated due to the the preconceived notion that they should "naturally" know what to do to help their child.

Dr. Sarah's goal isn't to "fix" the sleep challenges but rather to teach parents the skills to manage the current sleep challenge and those that will be up coming. Her work with parents isn't just about the sleep, it's about figuring out who your little person is, who you are as a parent and what you thought your parenting journey would look like. Dr. Sarah wants parents to know that you can be loving, attached and well-rested.

Dr. Sarah works with parents in high touch meaningful ways with her home visits in the SF Bay Area or private virtual consultations from all around the globe. She also created "Helping Babies Sleep School" which hosts her online sleep classes for ages 0 to 3.5 years . In March 2020 she'll be launching her membership site to continue to interact in a meaningful way with parents from all over.

Unless you're a work from home entrepreneur, the reality of working from home may be feeling VERY different from what you see entrepreneurs post on the gram! In fact, you may be missing the traffic, your commute and even your grumpy co-worker right now!

In five years of working from home, four of them with kids and the first one with NO help while running three businesses, I had to fail forward often to figure out the tips I'm going to share with you!

At work, you get distracted in the lunch room or by people popping by your office. You might be surprised how efficient you can be if you can use this pattern interrupt time to make new habits!

1. Set expectations + boundaries

• When you are working, work. When you aren't, don't.
• Communicate, communicate, communicate. With your partners, your family + your boss!
• Release perfectionism! It doesn't need to look pretty. Results are what is important.
• Understand each day is different, especially with kids (some days you get the nap, some you don't)!

1. Your Office Space

• Your bedroom is fine to use! Just make it a space where you can get a little privacy (if possible)!
• Don't multi task with phone calls and laundry (I know, it's tempting). Do squats instead to keep your energy level high!
• Go into your office with a BIG water bottle and some snacks, so you don't leave it and get distracted!
• Put your phone away unless urgent. Connect your imessage to your computer so you don't pick up the phone and end up on Instagram.

1. Your Office Hours

• If possible, begin work at the same time you normally do!! And get dressed!
• When you are working, work. When you aren't, don't.
• Be ready to go 100% for 50% of the time.
• Use your lunch hour for connecting with your family/doing household tasks.
• WITH KIDS
• If you have kids, be willing to get creative. Wake up an hour earlier. Use nap time to be SUPER focused!!!
• If you give your kids screen time, use that time! Forgo the glass of wine at dinner for another 1-2 hours of productive time!

1. The Warm Up + Cool Down

• Spend 10-15 minutes at the beginning of the day prioritizing what you'll work on! Do the most important thing first!
• Brain Dump General Tasks
• Prioritize by Importance and Urgency
• Schedule Your Tasks + Priorities
• You can always answer non-urgent emails later in the day.
• At the end of the day, do a quick wrap up. Look at what you accomplished, see what works and didn't and tweak for the next day!
• Set up your game plan for the next day!

1. Own Your Time

• Own Your Time!! Power Sessions + Time Blocking!
• Timers!!!! Do 30-60 minutes of deep work (the stuff you must concentrate on) during a power session!
• Focus on 2-3 of these sessions in the morning, then save the less important tasks (phone calls, returning emails) for the afternoon when your energy might not be as high (unless phone calls are the most important part of your business).

How often do you stay up late to catch up on housework or emails or to get ahead of the long to do list? Then wake up tired, feeling like just a little more sleep is needed? And suddenly, you're already behind for the day and week?

So you skip the workout, or the walk or hurry to grab something quick instead of preparing yourself something nourishing? I know I do that ALL the time. While I eat healthy and can tell you 100 reasons to meditate, when my own life gets hectic, which is ALL OF THE TIME, the first things to suffer are my movement, my sleep and giving myself the spaciousness of meditation or free time.

In fact, I did that last night! I stayed up too late and woke up feeling behind. Feeling rushed and frantic today…..totally in the DO state, I forced myself to slow down. I pulled an oracle card by Rebecca Campbell - Deep Replenishment. Retreat. Rest. Be Held.

And I spent some time really thinking and reflecting on Why we must fill/nourish/support ourselves first. When we are running on empty, in our do state, we are looking for other things and people to refuel us. If you've ever flown with a child, the flight attendant always reminds you to put on your mask first.

1. You can't support others if you aren't supporting yourself first.

1. When your inner well isn't full, we look to other things to fill it

1. Do you ask yourself, what nourishes me? What gives me joy?. What replenishes me? What does that deep replenishment look like?

Create a deep replenishment menu. What are the simple things you can do that nourish your soul, that refill your cup and that make you feel rested in every sense?

How many of you consider yourself a positive person? You can always find the light in every situation. Or, you know someone who is ALWAYS looking for the negative. How does that contrast make you feel?

When things go poorly, how do we focus on the positive side while still being aware of the other side? If we can say good, it means we're breathing. We are living. We are learning.

If you don't like the side of the coin that comes up, just flip it over. You have that choice.

It's synchronistic that this episode, my first BE moment since turning 40 this past Saturday, is episode 80, my year of birth! Ever since turning 39, I've been so looking forward to 40.

My 20's were all about working hard and learning HARD lessons about what didn't fulfill me. My 30's were about the journey of self discovery in what would fuel me in love, relationships and my profession. It was really about becoming me!

In reflecting over the last decade, there were four major gifts that stood out to me as the highlights of the past 10 years.

1. Four Gifts of the Last Decade
2. 1. Getting Married + Starting A Family
   2. Becoming An Entrepreneur
      1. Really understanding myself.
   3. Treating Personal Development Like It's a Job
   4. Becoming ME - Giving myself permission to Design a life I love

1. The Decade Ahead
2. 1. My voice…...embracing my inner writer
   2. BEing more - more present, more unapologetic
   3. Sharing the love (my blueprint for a life + business I love)
   4. Owning my magic - Aunt Julie
