Stepping Up for the Working Mom

Ladies, we are naturally busy people. 

Moms, wifes, employees, supervisors, etc. etc. etc. 

It's easy to fall into overwhelm and feel like we are falling behind in life. 

When you understand that life ebbs and flows, and you can ride that wave life becomes easier. 

Recently I was in a state of focusing on family over work. I had to constantly talk myself out of feeling behind, and focus on the priority in the moment. When I did that, and space opened up I was able to clearly move forward into something else. 

When you attempt to push through the work is far from your best, it's forced, it's difficult and it doesn't feel good at all. Sometimes we need to push things that are not priorities aside and know when the time is right they'll be there for us. 

Listen in to see how I did this, and will continue to do this!!

In June 2018 I took a leap of faith and quit my stable, yet unfulfilling and soul-sucking full-time job to chase my dream of entrepreneurship.

In the first 6 months I spent more than I made. As I reflected on 2019, I realized I profited $15,000 in my business!! 

On this podcast I share with you the top 2 things that I did to see these results.

Are you working at a job you hate?

Do you wish you could just up and change your career?

Do you think changing your career, pausing your career, or switching to part-time is going to hurt your future success?

I'm here to tell you that it won't!! I've learned, read and heard from other working moms who have shifted, paused or pivoted their careers, then went out to lead very successful and fulfilled lives!

When we are happier in our work, we produce better results. Do some journaling, and ask yourself what would make you happy? What kind of work would you do? What if there were no obstacles in the way?

Walking away from a full-time job, income and health insurance was the best decision I've ever made. It was exactly what I needed to do at that time.

In this episode I share with you how I came to do this decision. It was a decision that was building for years, and it took me gaining clarity on what I wanted in my life to be able to quit my job knowing it was the right decision.

I talk about how making big bold moves in your life and career require lots of inner work before hand to ensure it's the right decision for you.

If you are unhappy with your work, and contemplating a change, whether that's pivoting your career, switching jobs, or going for that promotion, this episode is for you!
