Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed with the never-ending tasks of motherhood? Wondering how to gain control and end your days with peace? Tune in to today's episode with productivity coach Valerie Recore, who helps moms find balance and reclaim their time.


In this episode, Rebecca Greene sits down with Valerie Recore, a productivity coach dedicated to helping moms regain control over their lives, spend more quality time with their families, and end their days feeling at peace. Valerie shares her journey from corporate trainer to productivity coach, inspired by the challenges she faced and observed among moms, especially during the pandemic. She introduces the concept of the mental load, discusses the Fair Play Method, and offers practical tips for managing time and tasks effectively.


Key Takeaways:

✅ The mental load is the constant, never-ending list of tasks running through a mom's mind, which can be overwhelming and exhausting.

✅ Making the invisible mental load visible by sharing and discussing it with family members can help in distributing tasks more equitably.

✅ The Fair Play Method facilitates open conversations with partners about household responsibilities, helping to create a more balanced and supportive environment.

✅ Tracking time and evaluating daily activities can reveal inefficiencies and areas for improvement, leading to a more organized and less stressful life.

✅ Saying 'no' to certain commitments is essential; every 'yes' to something means saying 'no' to something else, such as personal or family time.

✅ Aligning activities and tasks with family values and goals can help prioritize what truly matters, making daily life more fulfilling and manageable.


Quotes from Valerie Recore:

"We talk about being busy like it's a badge of honor, but what are we really busy doing?"

"The mental load is that ticker tape of tasks that is constantly running through your head all the time, and it doesn't end."

"It's getting that invisible load and making it visible. Your family doesn't see this list constantly running through your head."

"When you get your family involved and have regular meetings, everything starts to feel a little easier and better."
