Motherhood is a whirlwind, and it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly running on autopilot. But what if you could shift from just getting through the day to truly experiencing it? In this episode, I chat with Monica, a mom, entrepreneur, and host of mother-and-child retreats, about what it really means to be intentional in motherhood. We talk about breaking free from societal expectations, creating space for presence, and simple ways to infuse intentionality into your daily life—even when things feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever wanted to slow down and savor motherhood instead of rushing through it, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

1. Start Small: Being intentional doesn’t mean overhauling your life—it’s about simple shifts like putting your phone away for 10 minutes and fully engaging with your kids.
2. Nature as a Reset: Stepping outside, whether for a walk, watching the sunrise, or exploring with your child, can help you disconnect from distractions and be more present.
3. Intentional Living Can Be Virtual Too: If an in-person retreat isn’t in the cards, there are ways to cultivate intentionality at home, including Monica’s Intentional Living for Mothers Audio Event happening February 3-7.

Life has a way of ... lifeing. Whether it’s a sick child, an unexpected meeting, or a task that takes longer than planned. As busy working moms, these moments can completely derail our carefully planned schedules. In this episode, I’m sharing my tried-and-true strategies for handling those challenges with grace and resilience. You’ll learn how to reprioritize effectively, stay flexible with your routines, and lean into systems to stay on track. Plus, I’ll share a personal story about how I handled a chaotic moment in my own life and came out stronger. Remember, it’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.

Key Takeaways:

1. Acknowledge that life happens, and give yourself grace when things don’t go as planned.
2. Reprioritize your to-do list by focusing on what truly matters and letting less urgent tasks wait.
3. Use tools like Trello to maintain systems and stay organized during unexpected challenges.

Happy New Year! I'm so excited to be back on the podcast after taking some time away. Life has been lifeing, but I'm here and ready to help you tackle the big goals you've set for this year.

In this episode, I share an amazing insight I learned from the book 10x is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. If you've been feeling like you're not making enough progress toward your goals—or even like you're falling behind—this episode is for you. 

I'll walk you through a fresh way to measure your success that’s empowering, motivating, and rooted in progress, not perfection. Whether you're decluttering your kitchen, building a business, or connecting more with your kids, this mindset shift can change the way you see yourself and your achievements.

Key Takeaways:

1. Focusing solely on future goals can feel like chasing the horizon—always out of reach.
2. Measuring success by looking backward helps you recognize and celebrate your progress.
3. A backward-focused mindset reduces stress, comparison, and self-doubt, keeping you motivated to move forward.
