Work Hard Mom Harder

Learn how watching my son struggle with some new skills has me thinking about my own business initiatives differently. Then, hear four ways you can adjust your current defaults when it comes to growing your email list. I want your small business to have as much leverage as possible, and this episode is all about simple ways to push yourself outside the comfort zone to do just that!

In today's episode a share a correlation between clusterfeeding my infant and batchworking in my business. Might sound weird, but I promise there are nuggets of gold in this episode that will help you unlock more productivity in your days, get more of your best work done, and hopefully start sleeping like a baby.

This is not the podcast episode I had planned for today but it is the podcast I need to share: the call to action??

You need to make a highlight reel

Find out why I've been quiet for the better part of a year, and what to expect in the episodes to come!

It's on my heart to share this thought with you today.

Mom relationships can be complicated, but the odds that YOU exist, or that your kids are the little humans that they are ... that's just a factual miracle.

Treat yourself as such today.

Treat yourself as such EVERY day.

Love yourself like the miracle that you are, because you're doing awesome, mama.

In this live riff I share the simple marketing philosophy that I teach my clients and students that is starting to have really positive impacts on my personal life as well.

Today I'm breaking down: One goal - one measurable

As you listen, make a note of the application in business, and make the commitment to trying it out in your next product launch, social media post, or interaction with your clients and team.

But also, start thinking about how this concept of "designing for outcomes" applies in your personal life. From how you show up for your workout to how you interact with your mother-in-law, you're going to start seeing how this can apply in just about any area of your life, with fantastic results.

I'm turning 38 in a few weeks, so I decided to make a bucket list of 37 things to do before my next birthday. I'm still knocking items off the list, but the process of creating the list taught me a few important lessons that I'm sharing with you today.

Listen to discover the four lessons making a "37 before 38" bucket list taught me, and how these apply when designing a life you absolutely love to live.

We've all probably done it at least once ... with our kid, or with a pet perhaps. The countdown. "Get back here right now." No response. "1... 2..."

and there's usually a scramble between 2 and 3 where action occurs. It's a powerful motivator and highly effective in my household.

Today I riff on how I've been using the power of the countdown to get things done in my business (in some cases for better, and in others for worse). And I ponder, without success, how I might be able to leverage this power for getting more results in my personal life.

Listen to find motivation and a practical mind hack for leveraging this power to get results.

I've been watching all three of our kids learning new skills the past few weeks, while simultaneously learning some new skills (or dusting some off) myself. There are some striking differences between how kids and adults learn.

I'm working hard to apply these lessons in my life. Listen to hear:

how my daughter practicing handwriting laid a roadmap for me to do something entirely new for my business.

how my two-year-old walking down the stairs reminds me that one try is never enough

how my son's love of dinosaurs has him making tremendous strides in the reading and writing department

And then, be sure to listen to the end and take the challenge. How will you learn like a kid in the next week?

Taking my four-year-old shopping for new school clothes reminded me of some important life lessons that only a four-year-old can embody.

1. Caring less about fit / flattery / function and more about what lights you up.

2. Including others in your joy.

3. Joy is reason enough.

4. Care a little less about what you think other people should see.

Listen. Share. Apply. Live your best life.
