Purpose Driven Mom Show

How do we, as busy moms, do it all? How do we get it “all” done? Hint: we don’t! But let’s talk today about tips and tricks to getting what we WANT to do --- done! Join us in this refreshing talk, with working-mom Whitnee as she answers the question about how working moms (and stay-at-home moms) can do better.

Doing better by: - giving us permission to do things that light us up - delegating to your team at work or family at home = it’s not all on us - tossing out the idea that there is such a thing as “work-life balance” What does work-life balance even mean? What does it even look like? When working moms do better, everyone benefits. And THIS is what we are deep diving into today because we feel like not a lot of people are talking about this. So let’s talk …

I was struggling with my hormonal health for a few years now. And I wanted to share my story in case this sounds like “you too!” I was feeling like I wanted to nap all the time. I couldn’t lose pandemic weight gain and my skin was breaking out. It really felt like there was something “off” in my body. And I know my body. So, I did a couple of things: ➡️ Google research ➡️ read hormonal health books ➡️ dove into anti-inflammatory diets information from Wilk Hole ➡️ check into leaky gut symptoms ➡️ took an at-home hormonal health test ➡️ went and saw my doctor Here are a few of the changes I’ve been making in the last month and while I’m not an expert in these, I feel great and wanted to share what I’ve been doing. My results?! … listen in and find out!

You keep feeling defeated because you make plans, set goals, and you’re ready to go. Then … life happens. -the dog gets sick -the car needs an oil change -you need to make an ER run to the grocery store It’s inevitable that something comes up! Well, what if there was another way?! What if you could have both?! The plan and #momlife happen to you … Well, in today’s episode we say that “You CAN!” Listen in to this behind-the-scenes coaching call, where Cara is problem-solving with a club member to get plans back on track … in a realistic way. Cara’s noticed that this “off track” is happening a lot. AND she used to teach: pre-plan, pre-plan, pre-plan. But over time she’s found that, when life throws a curveball and you have to rearrange the plan, it can feel really demoralizing, and like you’re a failure. So here’s what Cara does instead. Plan more on the front end and while planning less detail. Sounds confusing?! It won't be after this episode.

Today we're going to talk about creating themes so that you can have urgency. You can have less guilt and you can have focus on your goals.

Because one of the things that I noticed is that moms will make a ton of goals and then feel like they have to conquer them right away.

Or they'll make all these goals and then they don't know where to start and they have too many goals.

Did you know that there is such a thing as having too many goals?

You need to be thematic and you need to be strategic about your goal plans because when you have these strategic goal plans, instead of flailing around and being super unfocused on your goals, You can really anchor in to what matters the most.

So we're going to talk about how to create themes today, why they're important, how they fit in to your 12 week goal setting.

And I'm going to show you how to create them and what to do with them. So if you're able to take some notes, grab a piece of paper and let’s get started. FREE GOAL SETTING SERIES: https://apurposedrivenmom.com/goals A PURPOSE DRIVEN MOM SHOW NOTES: apurposedrivenmom.com/podcast158/

Did you know that not every goal should be looked at the same? We often will treat all of our goals like they are one size fits all and that can get in our way in creating a great action plan for them instead!

There are three types of goals I teach and you need to approach breaking them down differently. Think about the goals you've set for yourself for the next few weeks and ask yourself - what type of goal is this really?

Type #1 is Numerical

Type #2 is Project-Based

Type #3 are Routine or Habit Based

Want more types about how you can use these? Check out my free workshop on How to Find Time to Take Massive Action on Your Goals without Overwhelm at www.apurposedrivenmom.com/goals

Struggling to stay consistent with your routines? Here are some easy ways to keep the momentum!

Start small - use my routine stacking method to create a slow and steady plan. Don't feel like you have to do it all at once - that is a recipe for disaster!

Create an incentive! What are you working towards? Is there something you want to reward yourself with at the end of the week?

Make sure to track. You can't get that reward if you don't track so make sure you're creating a routine to check in daily with the routines you want to work on.

Find a buddy! Accountability is what is going to help you feel less alone while you work on your routines. Can you find a group working on the same thing? Someone to text and check in with? Enroll in a great support system to get going!

Did you make a vision for this year? Have you thought about it since you made the pretty vision board back at the start of 2021? As we get ready to head into back-to-school season, it can feel like a new year.

New schedules, your kids might be going back in person (fingers crossed), new routines and activities.

This is a great time to pause and connect back to what you said you wanted things to look and feel like this year.

How to anchor back in: -Did you create a vision? No worries if not but if you did go and find that paper and reflect. -Ask yourself how it's going and what success you've had so far. -Think about the last half of the year. How would you like things to improve? What areas do you want to keep working on? -Has anything drastically changed for you?

Make a list of roles and categories of your life and write an "I AM" future statement that connects with your vision and goals. This could be "I am a half marathon runner" or "I have a great evening routine" or "I have finished 24 books this year".

Put these on notes around your home or the lock screen of the computer. And finally, schedule time in your planner to look back at this vision WEEKLY.

By keeping your vision top of mind, you're more likely to stick with it!
