I invited my husband Lee to join us today as we talk about the division of labor in our house—essentially who does what. We take you through a normal day and then a list of chores and say whether it’s my job, his job, our older son David’s job, or if we pay someone else to do it. Then we’ll talk about how to have a conversation with your spouse when you feel overwhelmed by how much you’re doing.

We aren’t saying the division of labor at your house should look just like ours. The goal is to have a fun conversation about the patterns we’ve naturally fallen into based on likes and skills and for you to get to hear how other couples manage the household workload.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram this week since I'll be showing some behind the scenes pics of us living this out! My user name is @sandrapeoples. And as always, the shownotes and the transcript (this week it's a partial transcript!) are on my website, sandrapeoples.com/thepodcast

We’re going to build on what we talked about in episode 6 on decision fatigue and episode 7 on creating the ideal week with this episode on habit triggers! Establishing habit triggers helps it all come together so your days move as smoothly as possible. You can also create habit triggers for your child with special-needs or your entire family! Everyone can benefit, especially you as the primary caretaker.

How do you make sure your most important priorities get done each week? How do you take control of your time before others start making their own demands? You create an ideal week plan.

In this episode, Sandra will walk you through how to make time to do everything you need to get done and do the things you want to do! She'll share what her week looks like as she cares for her family, serves her church, creates content for her audience, and plans for speaking events.

In today’s episodes, we’re going to walk through the steps it takes to write a personal purpose statement. First we’ll talk about your identity in Christ and the mission every follower of Christ has. Then we’ll talk about what makes you different from anyone else God created—we’ll look at our personality types, the season of life we’re in, and the roles we fulfill. By the end of our time together, you’ll be ready to write your own purpose statement and be ready to live it out.

Once you've written out your purpose statement, share it in our Self Care for the Special Needs Mom Facebook group!

It’s the last Monday in 2019, and truly it’s one of my favorite seasons. I love reflecting on the year we had before I look ahead to set goals for the future. So today I’m sharing six questions to ask at the end of a year. I don’t want to just weigh the good and the bad to figure out of it was a successful year—I want to remember how God uses the highs and lows of 2019 to help us become more like Christ.
