I’m guessing you started your business because you, too, wanted to get to actually BE there and experience your life, right? For your kids, for your relationships, and for yourself. And you’ve probably figured out that you don’t magically get a sense of balance, freedom, and spaciousness just because you have your own business (in fact, I often see it feel the other way around at first!) BUT it IS possible. And it’s my mission to help you get there.

That’s why today I want to talk to you about balance. I’m breaking down what balance does and doesn’t mean to me, why it’s now a core piece of my work, and my fave practical and somatic tips to help you start improving your sense of balance NOW (even if you came into this episode thinking the idea of balance is a myth!)

I’m diving into:

• The overarching desire I hear from other mom entrepreneneurs
• How to support your sense of balance when your business need more of you, and when your family needs more of you
• Calling BS on some of the false ideas of balance in our society
• My thoughts on the term “work/life balance”
• THIS biggest place I’ve seen clients get tripped up on around boundaries with work (and a simple fix)
• The struggle of working from home amidst friends and family who have traditional jobs
• Practical and somatic steps you can start taking TODAY to start increasing your own sense of balance and resource yourself
• And more!

This ain’t your mama’s mindset practice. ;) Mindset work is taught SO many different ways by so many different people. But the way I look at mindset work, is doing things that make you feel good and allow you to show up in the world the way you want to, as a business owner AND a mom.

And the thing that REALLY shifted and upleveled my own mindset game and allowed me to go from feeling overwhelmed AF, like I couldn’t take a deep breath, and unable to rest or relax even when I had built an amazing team and a business that was making plenty of money and meant that I didn’t have to work a bazillion hours, to being able to hold the hard times in life and business, hold my business and my kids through a REALLY rough year personally, actually take true restful time OFF for myself, lots of truly present time with my kids, and really and truly feeling PEACE regardless of what was going on in my business…

That was bringing somatic/physical components into my mindset practice. And in today’s episode I’m gonna teach it to you and show you how to make it your own. Let’s go!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why bringing your body into your mindset practice is so important and beneficial
• And this super fun, simple practice you can do in 10 minutes or less!
