Chances are, you can’t see anyone who fits this category. What you probably see is a lot of people who are overcommitted and totally stretched beyond capacity. So, what’s the deal?

Why do we all have more to do than is possible to do?     Mentioned in this Episode   Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit: Nourishing the Soul When Life's Just Too Much Ph.D. Karen Horneffer-Ginter https://www.amazon.com/Full-Cup-Thirsty-Spirit-Nourishing/dp/1401939937     Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_

She’s an author, speaker, entrepreneur, coach, and mom of five, and in recent years she’s started to notice how often leaders struggle with parenting. She joined me to discuss her philosophies and findings on parenting, as well as journaling, a topic she is hugely passionate about.   Description When it comes to parenting, we can totally wing it; many of us do. A lot of great kids have been raised in great homes without their parents reading a single book about parenting. But for those of us who feel a little out of our depth at times, I’m thankful that there are a ton of books, resources and thought leaders who can give us insight into what it means and what it looks like to parent with intention.   Mentioned in this Episode   https://www.frameofmindcoaching.com     Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_   

Guest Bio If we’re not careful, or unaware, the meals we create and meet around each day can start to feel like a chore instead of pleasure.

You might even say, where we sell ourselves out. To me, part of living life my fully and really thriving is learning to navigate my perceived shortcomings, my fears and my stumbling blocks. Part of that is simply identifying what those are and the other part, as you will soon hear, is taking action in spite of them.   Mentioned in this Episode http://www.advicegoddess.com   Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence https://www.amazon.com/Unf-ckology-Field-Living-Confidence/dp/125008086X/   Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_
