Stay-at-FULL Motherhood | SAHM, Prioritize, End Distraction, Get it Done, Rushing, Flailing, Mom Guilt

We’re always looking outside of ourselves for ways we can be more productive at home - we’ve tried all the planners and to-do list tips and tricks but nothing ever seems to change. That’s because the answer only ever lies inside of ourselves - in deciding on a new identity: “I am a person who gets things done in the time I set for them.” And then making decisions as HER. Listen to today’s episode and then come join my new Facebook group, ‘The Time Management, Prioritization, and Focus Fix for SAHMs’ where I’ll be sharing tips and hacks for getting things DONE and stepping into the YOU you want to be.

When you’re telling yourself you can only do the thing you feel pulled to do once everything on your to-do list is done FIRST, you end up living by your to-do list because there will always be something that needs doing. Learn 3 things you can STOP doing TODAY so that you can prioritize pursuing your passion alongside your motherhood and create time for what you love.

The thought that “it never stops” so neither can you will keep you perpetually stuck in a cycle of doing and then falling behind. Use this simple method to do what you love every single day and let THAT be the thing to give you the energy and clarity you need to get WHAT MATTERS done in your life at home.

If you think you don’t have time to rest, take a listen to this episode because you might already be doing it! Rest is not what we think it is, and this idea that we “should” be resting as portrayed by Instagram quickly becomes just another reason for stay-at-home moms to make themselves wrong. You don’t have to put your feet up, but you can enjoy some rest, even if your kids are right there squabbling in front of you!

As stay-at-home moms we feel the need to always, always be productive. Rest is something we think we can get to once all of the to-dos are crossed off our lists…but the to-do list, of course, never ends. Here we reframe your decision to stay home with your kids and look at why OWNING it is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself as a mom.

We all, of course, think we know what “self-care” means but then, more often than not, find ourselves not doing it. This episode takes a new look at how we want to define self-care and how it benefits not just us, but everyone around us.

We often push off doing what we want to do for ourselves until a point in the future when we’ll “have time” (usually when the last kid starts preschool). But what will still undoubtedly be there when you reach that point is your relationship with TIME. And when that is one of blaming, shaming and handing over responsibility for what we’ve not yet achieved, we find that what we want doesn’t just fall into our laps like we thought it would. This episode is all about taking responsibility for - and giving credit to - YOU for everything you create in your life at home.

When you trust in yourself fully, you create opportunities to let go of what anyone else thinks or what you think you should be doing, and create exactly what you want for YOU.

YOU get to decide who you are and what you believe about yourself - you don’t need to achieve something first in order to believe in yourself. Deciding FIRST puts you way ahead on the path to achieving everything you want to create for YOU alongside your motherhood.

It’s easy to get caught up in overwhelm when it comes to all things back-to-school. Listen to today’s episode to get done what you want to get done without the stress and hustle.
