Doesn't always seem like there is so much to do, but so little time? With work, the kids, and managing the home, it seems like there is never enough time.

It's true. There are strategies that you can implement to improve the way that you manage your time. That is why I brought my guest Kristina to help with this.

In this episode we talk about:

• What the biggest struggle working moms have with time management
• One of the first things to analyze when trying to improve how time is spent
• Kristina's process of going from self-aware to taking action in improving time management

So your kids are asking for a dog again, but you are not really a dog lover. I totally get it!

Let's be honest. Having a dog is a huge responsibility. It's almost like having a baby with the amount of care and attention you have to give a dog.

I have a secret for you. I don't like dogs. But my friend N.E. Colby is helping with spreading the love for animals with my kids WITHOUT getting a puppy.

In this episode we talk about:

• How N.E. Colby's family has a love and curiosity for animals (even though her husband was attacked by a dog when he was younger)
• Places to go or visit to introduce your kids to animals and grow their for them
• Her book series and the inspiration behind it.

ABOUT N.E. COLBY
N.E. Colby was born into a military family, she was able to travel and experience many different things. She is a Veteran of the United States Air Force, a mother of two well rounded children, and married to the love of her life. 

N.E. Colby has always had a love for animals. From a young age she was rescuing strays and adopting animals that needed a good home. N.E. Colby and her Husband have been able to pass along their love of animals to their children. Taking trips to Zoo’s every year for birthdays and just because days, while talking about the care required of little creatures that cannot care for themselves. Knowing the importance of teaching children from a young age that caring for living things other than themselves will have an important impact on all relationships in their future. 

While always having a love for reading with her children and the desire to write children’s books, N.E. Colby decided that the best book to write was something close to her heart. The Junior Zoo Vet series draws from her greatest inspiration, her children and their love of Zoo’s.

News Flash! Your kids don't do want you to say, they do what you do. 

My guest Victoria had this realization when raising her kids and almost treating them like a project. Meaning that she thought she had to get her kids to be awesome in school and raise them to be awesome adults that would eventually leave and go off to college. 

The problem with this is kids have their own personalities and trajectories for life. The things that we push our kids to do may not be what they actually want to do. So instead of trying to raise our kids to be perfect versions of ourselves, Victoria has another method ... model the behavior and things that you want your kids to do. 

This includes having fun. Your kids want to see you happy! Check out this episode to learn how to transform the way you see parenting so that you can improve your motherhood

ABOUT VICTORIA
Victoria Anderson, an Executive Life Coach: With a focus on supporting parents to connect to their heart, mind, body, and soul to achieve their life dreams while navigating the challenges of parenting. Victoria is a credentialed secondary English teacher and she lives in Silicon Valley with her husband and two teenage kids

Are you feeling burned out?

Burn out from work is a real thing that many people suffer from. Some statistics say that up to 70% of people in the workforce have experienced burn out. Then we look at moms and that number may be even higher.

You can have success without burning yourself out on the hamster wheel of life. It first starts with you defining what success looks like to you instead of living out what others consider successful. 

Listen to this episode as we talk about:

➡️How to be present and let go of distractions
➡️Why it is important to play and engage
➡️Practices to keep you grateful
➡️How and why it is important to release inside of holding things in

I know that 2020 has been a year for the history books. 

As a mother, it has been even more challenging with schools going virtual, being with your kids while working from home, and don't forget the hard conversations about race in the US. 

With everything that has happened I know right now, more than ever, we need a little pep talk to get us ready for the new year.

I brought my coach and friend, Jessica, to give us the pep talk that we need to be ready to tackle our goals and take better care of ourselves.

In this episode we talk about:

➡️ What it means to press pause on your dreams

➡️ The difference between consistency and frequency

➡️ How life is going to happen and taking life and your goals one day at a time

➡️ Creating an ideal day

➡️ How to determine what is a priority that you need to focus on today

➡️ Why you need to have fun and something fun to look forward to

Work-life balance is something that we hear about often. I feel like there are two camps. One that believes that you can achieve work-life balance and the other that thinks that it doesn't exist because there is no such thing is balanced because you can give equal amounts of time to the different parts of your life. 

Which camp are you in? This is the question that I asked my guest, Angie. Because let's be honest we secretly want when we are feeling out of wack at home or work.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Angie got started as a coach
• Angie's thoughts on work-life balance and if it really exist
• What is means to operate on your highest level of integrity
• Why we avoid doing things ... especially the things we know we need to do
  
  

ABOUT ANGIE
Angie Robertson, Senior Coach, HG Life Coaching: As a former attorney, Angie is familiar with what it takes to leap and pursue the career of one’s dreams. She is highly experienced in coaching people through career transitions and navigating the balance of work, personal life, parenting, and relationships.
