Need Encouragement? What To Do When the World Feels Heavy

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? Burnt out, feeling stressed and pulled in every direction. Constantly comparing yourself to other people? Lacking in confidence, looking for ways to get motivated? Eager to find balance. All while, driving in the express lanes to make it to the next part of your day as you chug your second (or third) cup of coffee? Not to mention you are the queen of long-winded to-do lists with an ambitious dream, if only you had more time in your day. 

Welcome to the Best Day Podcast. The podcast for encouragement and motivation. To equip you with the pep talk you need to live your best life. To give you the tools to embrace a positive mindset and live a life you can feel good about. This podcast will help reduce the stress in your life and establish healthier habits so you can stop feeling scattered and disorganized 24/7. 

Hey, I’m Haley. Wife, mom, high school history teacher, and encouragement blogger over at @gracefulandfree. For the last several years, I struggled to find a healthy work-life balance. I was overcommitted, refused to say no, and worked a lot. Sacrificing my sleep and my joy, just to hustle harder, all while feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed. And then, I became a mom, and I knew something had to give.

Through embracing a positive mindset, I have found balance and established boundaries to protect my peace, so that I can live every day as the best version of yourself. So what do you say? It is time to stop feeling unmotivated, and time to say YES to living confidently, every single day, no matter what may come your way. 

Ready to have your best day as the best version of yourself? Well friend, grab your iced coffee and let’s get encouraged!
