Managing stress is a part of life, right?  Especially as a mom, it can feel  like if it’s not one thing, it’s another. 

But here’s the thing about stress - our body is designed to experience stress as a cycle with a beginning and an end.

We perceive a stressor -> our body has a physiological response -> we go into fight-or-flight -> the stressor resolves & we’re safe -> we return to regulation.

But what happens when we’re living in a state of chronic stress?  We can get stuck in fight-or-flight and the stress cycle never completes.  And this my friends, is what leads to burnout.

But how do you know if you’re stuck in fight-or-flight? 

In today’s episode, you’ll learn five signs that your nervous system is likely stuck in flight-or-flight even if you’re not feeling angry or anxious.  Plus, we’ll discuss how to unlock the stress cycle so your body can regulate and you can move from surviving to thriving.

Have you ever felt burned out and looked ahead to a 3-day weekend or another break your calendar because you were finally going to rest and recharge? Same, friend.

Don’t get me wrong - long weekends are awesome.  But here’s the thing *spoiler alert* the whole "take time off to heal" idea might not be the magic fix you hoped for.

In today’s episode, I take you through my simple 6-step framework to help heal your burnout. So if you’re ready to unlock the stress cycle that leads to burnout, this episode is for you!

It’s that time of year again where everyone’s talking about goals. 

I love goal setting, don’t get me wrong.  But I’ve noticed that oftentimes, goal setting is tied to a whole lot of “shoulds”.  We think we should be exercising more, so we set a goal around it.  We think we should be more productive, so we set a goal around it.

When’s the last time that you set goals that truly lit up your soul?

Join our conversation with Kate House, host of The Live By Design Podcast. Kate specializes in coaching women towards personal growth and has a blueprint designed to get your dreams off the ground. 

If you’re ready to bridge the gap between your vision and reality, this is the episode for you.  Through intention setting, reflection, and dream casting, Kate teaches us how to identify our big-picture goals that will guide our next steps.

1. How to set your own personal goals with soul
