      • E114: Start Slowly

        In this replay episode, I share how and why we can start this year out slowly. In a world that’s focused on hustle and going harder, starting slowly is very counter-cultural, but I think it’s the pace our souls were designed for.

                        Welcome to Episode 109 of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering! In this episode, I’m going to talk about the power of your vote as a mom.


                        Before we dive in, here’s what I’m not going to do in this episode: I’m not going to tell you who to vote for. I’m not

                        even going to bring up specific candidates.

                         

                        Here’s what I will do: I will share with you why I’m passionate about voting and ensuring that I use my vote to make a difference. I hope it will encourage you to do the same! I will also share some tips with you as you research and decide who to vote for.
