Work Life Glue

Now that it's December, it's so easy to look around and find a million posts, videos, episodes, and photos about goal-setting and choosing your word for the year. However, what we as workings don't need right now is to be told what we should be adding to our plates. What we need to know is how to take items off of our plates to make room for the desserts of life (dreams, time with family, time for ourselves, time with friends, etc.). In today's episode, I'm talking all about saying no and figuring out what YOU will say no to in 2021!

In this Working Mom Spotlight, I interview Tricia the owner and founder of Hello Media, a boutique social media marketing and branding agency!  She went from running dance studios to making a jump just a few weeks after her first daughter was born, creating her own online business.  She did my branding, so I can vouch for how great she and her team are at working with business owners!  She has amazing insight about the work/life balance as a work from home mom and has some great tips as well!  If you are working from home or own your own business (or just want to hear from a mom who does), you will love this episode!

In this episode, I interview the amazing Amy Miller of Simply Beautiful Plans, an Etsy shop filled with the most beautiful planner stickers you will ever find!  She has an incredible story of how her business started as a way of coping with postpartum anxiety and how her career trajectory changed dramatically from the time she first became a mom until now.  She has some great advice and insight about structuring her day with two young children (also homeschooling) and how to "balance it all."  You will LOVE hearing her story and message!

SO many moms are working from home in today’s current global situation, and even moms that aren’t, we have SO much to do when we are at home.  Cooking, cleaning, laundry, tidying, organizing, and even things like exercising, self-care, reading a book, or just taking a BREAK - these are all things we do that we don’t always want our kids tagging along for.  I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just need some time for my children to “just play”, right?!?  But how often when you tell them to “go play” do they actually listen?  Rarely!  I’ve found myself coming back to the same materials/toys/activities over and over for educational, enriching activities for my kids to do that I can literally just plop down in front of them and they can get busy and so can I!  I’m sharing them in this podcast!  These are 25 different activities your kids from toddler-aged to middle school even can do to give you a little break or allow you to get something done.

This is by far the most terrifying story I will ever tell.  I’ve been so terrified to tell it, in fact, that I put off starting this podcast for well over a year because I knew in my gut this story had to be the first main episode of this podcast.  Why?  Because without this story, Work Life Glue wouldn’t be here (and maybe I wouldn’t be either).  This is the story of how my horrific bout of Postpartum Depression after my first daughter was born led me to the life of my dreams, and in turn I believe saved my life from becoming a massive trainwreck, or at the very least, a life of complacency.  I am sharing this to spread awareness about Postpartum Depression, to “own my ick” so that it doesn’t own me anymore, to show others what you can turn negative experiences into with lots of reframing, and to show how Work Life Glue came to be and why I’m so passionate about serving working moms.
