"Stop trying to do that. Stop trying to carry all of that pressure on myself and putting it on myself and learning to ask for help. That has been so relieving. I didn't know what it would be like on the other side of that. But it definitely makes me feel a little bit lighter day in and day out. So yeah, share one thing that you've stopped doing that's made you feel a little bit lighter, whether it's a habit or routine."

"You don't owe anyone the older version of you, not even yourself. No apologies, no explanations. Start where you are. Name the chapter or season that you're in. For me, the chapter I'm in is hard reset. Scratch that. The hard reset. That sounds better, right? But let it be a little messy. Hell, let it be a lot messy. But most importantly, let it be yours."

"I've been able to help others with my, with what I, what I do in my business, but I can't help myself. And I find it so funny how we are like that. And so this year's month of May came and my body was just like, yeah, Michelle, you're done for a little while. And so it took that moment of just really revamping, rejuvenating my body, my mind, my everything, and. And just go with the flow."

"And I feel like we get so in the moment of trying to do so many things and get so many things done that because we're trying to do so much, we put ourselves into a freeze to where your brain's just like, nope, I can't do anymore. And then you don't do anything. Like, I. Last week, I. I admit I went three days without doing the dishes. Like, oh, I'll get to it later. I got time today."

"It's one less thing to overload you in the moment. Get the kiddos involved and make a game out of it. To keep things light and fun. Instead of trying to remember everything, dump it into a notes app, a task management app, or reminders app, or even a journal."

"And at the time of trying to start this recording, my brain was doing that, literally doing that. I was just, did I take out the meat to thaw for dinner? Did I schedule the taxes? Did I take the laundry out of the washer? And, you know, did I. Did I schedule her for summer camp? I. The list goes on and on. It's like, okay, I need to stop and just focus on one thing to get done."

"But then I had to remember that this is exactly what happens when our systems aren't working for us. We keep paddling harder instead of just trying to take a moment and ask ourself, is there a way to make this easier? So just so you know, there. Most of us already have systems, but some of us, we don't always call them systems."
