    Look past the surface and decide the truth for yourself.
    You can't get where you want to go by pretending you are something that you're not.
    Some things are worth speaking up about.
    Don't let your circumstances dictate who you can become.
    We really feel like these lessons are important, and we hope they resonate with you! Thank you so much for being here!! - Show Notes: https://ofprogressandpurpose.com/2020/10/03/becoming-the-hero-of-your-own-story-four-lessons-from-aladdin-2019

    6. 5 Brain Hacks for Sustainable Parenting

      Happy Tuesday, friends!!

      Today, I start us off with 25 "Momfessions", because it's so important to me that you don't feel like I have all of the answers, and, most of all, that you don't feel alone!

      I also talk about 5 things I've learned over the last few years that make for a little less burnout, and a little more, I love my kids:

      1. Asking for help doesn't mean you lack the necessary qualifications.
      2. In fact, you are uniquely and exactly qualified.
      3. Martyrdom isn't required;
      4. But sacrifice is.
      5. Be a safe space for your kids (It's all about the relationship).
