Redefining Balance for Working Mom Podcast by Your Life Rocks

Yes, we all know that we should observe the Sabbath and keep it holy. And yes, we all are living incredibly busy lives and if you are like me, it is hard to stop and take the time to rest.

In this episode, we are diving into this topic. While we usually are talking about how to get more done as a working mom....but this is an important topic for us to dive into.

I am joined by organizational change management expert and author of Oasis in Time, Marilyn Paul. She walks us through not only the importance of taking the time to stop and connect but also the steps to making this a reality for you in your life.

When we set goals we often focus on the outcome and what we will get when we hit the goal, but all the good stuff is on the journey to achieving that goal. Regardless of what your goal is, I know this story will inspire you to keep going and enjoy the journey and all the wisdom that comes with it. In this episode, I am joined by my friend Amber Sandberg who lost 60 pounds last year. She shares how doing mental and emotional work was the key to her reaching her goal.

So, with last week ending a series and next week starting a series, we are in a week of transition. And really that is what this week has been all about….meaning the week between Christmas and New Year. It is my favorite week of the year because it is quiet, there isn't that much going on and I can just breath, think, and be.

Every year I use this week to reflect on areas of my life, give gratitude, dream a little and just talk to God about bigger things than I normally get to on a daily basis. I go through a process that allows me better insight to setting goals and getting ready to accomplish them.

It is this exact system that I have been teaching to our Life Balance members this week. If you are not a life Balance member, you can still join us! The great thing is that we are walking through a pre-recorded course that you can start really at any time. It's a 7-day new program that has been added to the membership and it will help you get clear on your goals in a whole new way.

In this episode, I wanted to share with you three of the principles that we teach in this program. It's a different way of setting goals than most people do, but so highly effective.

This is our last episode in our Walking with Jesus series! Leading up to Christmas we have been hearing the testimonies of other working moms and their stories have been so inspiring!

This week we hear from Ami Clemente as she shares how her faith became real through her journey into motherhood. Through prayer and faith, God performed miracles against all odds. This is a story about God's power, and that even in darkness, if it's not good it's not done. The light wins and the victory is ours!

Join us in Life Balance Membership as we get ready for the new year in a whole new way! We start live on December 26th, but you can join anytime and go through the recorded 7-day training. We will be taking an assessment of each area of life, seeking God, and setting a clear vision for the first 90-days of the new year! This new training will help you clear the fog and set you up for the best year yet! Start your free 7-day trial by clicking here.

Welcome to our special holiday series, Walking with Jesus. Each week leading up to Christmas we will hear a testimony of what Jesus is doing in the life of a fellowing working mom. It's my hope that through hearing these powerful stories, we will keep our focus on what we are really celebrating at Christmas.

This week we hear from Emily Will as she shares her testimony of how God answered her prayers in his own timing and in his own way. Have you ever thought that God wasn't going to answer your prayer? Emily saw God's faithfulness after 5 years! By trusting God and waiting on his timing, the answered prayer was so much better because of the lessons learned and the blessings that came along with it.

To kick off the new year, we have special trainings happening inside the Life Balance Membership community! You can now join for the full year with the new Life Balance Planner to help you implement the Life Balance system to your life! Click here to learn more.
