Working Mom Moments | Work Life Balance, Energy, Stress, Career, Time Management, Mom Guilt

You put boundaries in place to protect your time and priorities...but why does it seem like you're living in hustle culture, treading water and barely keeping up? Weren't those boundaries to keep us from getting to this pace of life in the first place?

If you're anything like me, you think you're coming at life from a strategic perspective where you're making decisions that are best for your time and family. But more often than not, we find small pockets of decisions that need to be made that can compromise the well intended parameters. Before we know it, we're living life in a dead-out sprint rather than a sustainable jog. 

We're frustrated, overwhelmed and feeling like the busyness is getting the better of us. 

If this sounds like you, know that you're in good company. We all start out with great intentions, but somewhere between decision and action...we can easily get diverted. If you're living life in the fast lane even though you've set your boundaries...this episode is for you.

Let's dive in!

Ever had one of those moments that replayed over and over in your mind? Before you know it, you've become consumed with what happened, what you could have done or said differently, and how other's must have perceived you?

Welcome to the overthinking club!

Overthinking so often leads to feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion. And guess what, we have resources to help us dig our way out of this negative pattern! 

In today's episode we're talking about two strategies to help you refocus and on what's important and stop the talk tracks happening in your mind once and for all (or at least put them on pause for a while).

Let's get ready to dive on in!

Ever find yourself trapped in a whirlwind of thoughts, endlessly analyzing situations until your brain feels like mush?

You're not alone.

Overthinking has become somewhat of an epidemic among women today, and I've certainly felt its grip tightening around my mind more one too many times. What I’ve learned is the distinct correlation between overthinking, overwhelm and exhaustion.

Today, we're walking through exactly what it is and how the mind is connected to the body. If you consider yourself an over-thinker...this episode is for you!

Have you ever found yourself thinking that the grass must be greener on the other side of the fence? 

Whether that grass resembles the idea of a new job or dreaming of a better marriage...we often look to big changes that can give us satisfaction.

Sometimes, though, the grass is actually green where we're at, and we only need to make a few minor modifications to live the life we've always dreamed. 

Join me as we walk through an unconventional approach to boundaries. If you're looking to reduce the stress, guilt and time lost...this episode is for you.

Let's go!

We've been told working moms can have it all...but is that really true? 

On today's episode, we're looking at this notion from several viewpoints. 

What does "having it all" mean to you? And how can you achieve it?

Pop in those earbuds and let's dig in!

It's time to get real about your time. So often, we are upholding obligations and priorities of other people without much consideration to their impact on our own schedules. We carry the expectations of others or what we think we "should" be doing as working moms...and before we know it, we're spending time in areas we never would have chosen.

In today's episode, we're talking through how you can identify opportunities to shed others' priorities and expectations in order to get more time back in your day. I'll also be sharing one of my favorite methods that can help you analyze just where your time is being spent in order to dig into the "why".

If you're ready to take control of your schedule and own your time - this episode is for you!

Have you ever told yourself....

If I wear the right clothes, I'll be taken seriously?

Or

If I work a certain way, I'll finally get that promotion?

Or

If I do all the things as a mom, I'll be a great mom?

We tell ourselves a lot of stories, but rarely do we consider what we'd do if there were no expectations, pressures or judgement being placed on us. 

Who are you as a working mom outside of everyone else's expectations? It's an important question to ask...and one we're diving into on today's episode. Time to get real with who you are as a working mom and what you truly want.

Let's dive in!

One of the most common sources of guilt for working moms is missing our children's activities due to work commitments.

I have missed games and practices...and soon to be a band concert. I'm not a perfect mom by any means, but these moments don't make me a bad one. And they don't make you a terrible mother either! 

In today's episode, we'll delve into the roots of this guilt, offer a more realistic perspective, and explore the positive aspects of these situations along with strategies to overcome the accompanying guilt.

With so many projects, activities and events on our calendars...it's hard to find time for ourselves. In today's episode, I'm diving into the number one thing you need in order to create a highly effective routine. But I'll warn you...it's not what you think.

I'm a firm believer that progress is better than perfection, and living in the grey is better than black and white thinking. It's why I believe in blending over balancing. 

One great way to do that, is to approach our schedules and routines with moderation. More specifically, to approach it from an 80/20 lens. 

Curious how that can set you up for success? Wonder no longer! Hit play and let's dig into this theory, and its application to working moms, now!
