Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy, Be Kind to Yourself
Join us and our guest Kelly Ballard as we talk about her journey as a woman in her 40’s and how she got into the busy life she’s in right now. Kelly believes that some women are guilty of wanting to be someone else aside from being a mother, a guilt they should let go. She shares how, for her, it’s the first step for every parent who wants to find balance in their family life and their own thing. Tune in with us and there will be so much more to learn.
In this episode you will learn:
Reinventing yourself and figuring it out as you go.
Doing what you do – Purpose and fulfillment.
The spirit of collaboration in the DIY business industry.
Finding the balance in life, motherhood, and passion. How?
Maintaining respect and privacy even as a public figure.
About Kelly Ballard:
Raised in California and transplanted to Utah. Married my college sweetheart from Montana, and we are raising 4 nuggets together. I love all things DIY projects and doing them on a budget. I don’t mind messing up and am ok with the 90/10 rule - nothing is perfect over here and its fine by me! Encouraging all ‘wanna-be’ DIYers to just get out there and try it! You will be so glad you did.”
I have always loved using my creative side to come up with ways to decorate my space. Even as a little girl I was finding ideas by window shopping at Mervyns or page turning the JCPenny catalogue. That followed me into my college and young married days. I had to get very creative as a young mother on a tight budget, and my love of DIY projects was born. I would shop all the local thrift stores and see how I could turn something old into something new. I taught myself how to stain, paint, craft, glue and sew. These hobbies kept my mind fresh and my hands busy.
At age 40 I found myself wondering how to spend my newly found time when all the kids were at school. I had always wanted to build things, but tools made me nervous. So that very birthday (per my request), Mr. Farmboy picked up some takeout and then sat me down to teach me how to use a nail gun - exactly what I wanted. From that day on I was hooked. I committed to a project a week for the year I was 40. I slowly started to document these projects, and CITYGIRLMEETSFARMBOY was born.
