When life feels overwhelming or you know you're headed into a hard season the last thing on your mind might be a quarterly review. But I've found it's exactly when I need it most.

In this week's episode of the Thriving in Motherhood Podcast, I'm walking you through how I do a quarterly review when I'm in survival mode—like right now, at the end of my pregnancy, heading into the newborn phase.

Spoiler: This is not your typical "set big goals, hustle hard" kind of conversation.

Instead, I'm sharing:

• How I reflect on what actually happened (even when the days blur together)

• How gratitude, small wins, and honest questions help me shift my mindset

• What it looks like to plan a quarter focused on surrender, presence, and creating simple joy

• Why your circumstances don't have to define the memories you create

If you're in a season where energy is low, the future feels uncertain, or you're holding a lot—this episode is for you.

Whether you're using the Thriving in Motherhood Planner or just grabbing a notebook, these simple prompts can help you anchor yourself and your family—even when life feels messy.
