Hi mama, ✨Join the 👉How To Plan An Intentional Year Workshop Waitlist Here! ✨ And Happy New Year… welcome to 2026.

If you’re ending one year exhausted and quietly hoping the next one will feel different… you’re not alone. So many working moms start the year with good intentions, only to find themselves right back in survival mode… reacting instead of choosing, feeling behind instead of grounded, and wondering where the time went.

Inside this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why motivation fades… and why that’s not your fault ✨ Why planning tasks without priorities keeps us stuck ✨ How to stop letting another year just “happen” to you ✨ What it really means to design a year around your life… not the other way around This is not about doing more. It’s not about hustle, perfection, or a brand-new you. It’s about stepping into 2026 with intention. 💛 AN INVITATION FOR YOU If this episode resonates… if you’re craving clarity, balance, and a year that actually supports the woman you’re becoming… I want to personally invite you to join me inside my Planning an Intentional Year Workshop happening this January.

Hi Mamas, ✨Join the 👉How To Plan An Intentional Year Workshop Waitlist Here! ✨   As you step into a new week, this Monday Mindset is a reminder you may not know you need—but probably feel deep in your bones. Being busy doesn’t mean you’re being intentional. And a full schedule doesn’t always mean a fulfilled life. In today’s episode, we’re talking about why working moms don’t struggle with knowing what matters—we struggle with protecting it. ✨ This Week’s Quote “The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” — Stephen Covey This quote comes from Covey’s classic book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People… a must-read when it comes to time management, values, and intentional living. So much of what we talk about here on the podcast traces right back to the principles he teaches. 🎧 In This Episode, We Talk About: Why working moms spend their days reacting instead of choosing The difference between knowing your priorities and actually protecting them Why what matters most often gets pushed into “leftover time” How scheduling your priorities creates clarity, peace, and better boundaries Why work-life balance starts with intention—not more hours in the day 💛 MONDAY MINDSET CHALLENGE Here’s your challenge for this week, mama: 👉 Look at your calendar for the next 7 days. Now ask yourself: Where am I scheduling my priorities? And where am I expecting them to magically fit in? Choose one priority that truly matters to you right now: movement time with your kids a conversation with your partner quiet time for yourself rest Then do one powerful thing… 📅 Put it on the calendar. Not as a “maybe.” Not as a placeholder. But as a commitment. Because if something matters, it deserves space.

Hi mama, ✨Join the 👉How To Plan An Intentional Year Workshop Waitlist Here! ✨ Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! This episode is the exhale… the moment to pause before rushing into the new year with another long list of goals. As we wrap up the Becoming Her series, this conversation brings everything together. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do next year?” we shift the focus to something much more powerful: 👉 Who do I want to become… and what habits will support her? Because real transformation doesn’t happen in one dramatic moment. It happens quietly… through small, intentional habits repeated over time. In this episode, we talk about why January 1st isn’t magic, why motivation always fades, and why habits… not goals… are what actually carry you through real life as a working mom. ✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why motivation isn’t meant to sustain change (and why that’s not a personal failure) The difference between goal-setting and identity-based habits Why habits matter more than goals when life gets busy How habit stacking helps you build consistency without adding more to your plate Simple ways to design routines that support peace, clarity, and balance 💛 THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE As you head into the new year, take a few quiet minutes and reflect on this question: 👉 What habits do I need to support the woman I’m becoming? You don’t need a long list. Choose no more than three habits you can start building and gently improving in January. These might include: Going to bed earlier to protect your energy Meal planning to support healthier eating during busy weeks Weekly budget check-ins to align your spending with your priorities Creating a simple morning or evening routine that brings more calm Remember… becoming her doesn’t happen overnight. It happens in small, intentional moments… one habit at a time. ✨ NEXT STEPS If this episode stirred something in you and you’re ready to move from reflection to action, I’d love to personally invite you to my Planning an Intentional Year Workshop happening in January. Inside the workshop, we’ll: Clarify priorities for this season of life Design your year around family, health, career, and YOU Create flexible habits and routines that support real life Protect your time, energy, and peace… without burnout 👉 Get on the waitlist using the link in the show notes so you’re the first to know when registration opens.

Hi Mamas, ✨Join the 👉How To Plan An Intentional Year Workshop Waitlist Here! ✨ Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out the final Monday of the year, I wanted to pause with you… before the noise of “new year, new me” takes over… and help you enter this next season with intention, not pressure. Over the past few weeks in our Becoming Her series, we’ve done some powerful reflection together: The woman you’ve been this year The mom you want to be moving forward The partner you’re becoming And the life you’re intentionally designing And today’s Monday Mindset is about bringing all of that together. This Week’s Quote “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your habits.” — James Clear This quote is such an important reminder… especially right now… because so many of us head into January focused on what we want to do… instead of who we want to become. Goals can be inspiring… but motivation fades. Life gets loud. Kids get sick. Schedules shift. Habits are what support you when real life shows up. If you want more peace, your habits need to protect peace. If you want more connection, your habits need to create space. If you want more clarity, your habits need to support the woman you’re becoming… not the stress you’re trying to escape. 💛 THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE As you head into the new year, I want you to take a few quiet minutes and reflect on this question: 👉 What habits do I need to support the woman I’m becoming? Keep it simple. You don’t need a long list. Choose no more than three habits you can start building… and gently improving… once January begins. Maybe it’s: Going to bed earlier so mornings feel less chaotic Meal planning to support healthier eating during busy weeks Weekly budget check-ins so your finances align with the life you’re building Remember… you don’t need a total life overhaul. Becoming her happens through small, consistent habits repeated over time. 📣 Come share how this episode helped you with us inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms… because your joy might just inspire another mom to find hers too. ⭐ If this episode gave you a little boost, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Grab Your Freebies! 🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist 💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts 🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity) 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes 🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too 🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care 💻ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms.. simply cut and paste Want to connect with other amazing moms?

We’re continuing our Becoming Her series, and today we’re diving into a big one—the career you want in 2026. As we close out this year and prepare to open a fresh new chapter, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect before jumping into goal-setting or making big decisions. Because this conversation is for both types of working moms: • The mom who feels unfulfilled and knows she wants something different • The mom who likes her job, values her career, and wants to grow or climb the ladder... without burning herself out If you’ve ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ In this Monday Mindset, we’re continuing the Becoming Her series by focusing on an often-overlooked part of a working mom’s identity… the partner she’s becoming. As life gets busier with work, kids, schedules, and mental load, marriage often slips into survival mode. Conversations turn into to-do lists. Connection gets pushed to “someday.” And before you know it, you’re managing life together… but not really connecting anymore. In today’s episode, Kerri reminds you that this doesn’t mean your marriage is broken… it means it’s busy. And busy seasons don’t require more effort… they require more intention. 💛 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why marriage doesn’t actually need more time to thrive How intention matters more than grand gestures What connection looks like in real, busy seasons of motherhood How to shift from logistics to emotional connection A simple weekly challenge to strengthen your relationship Monday Mindset Quote: “Marriage doesn’t need more time — it needs more intention.” ✅ This Week’s Challenge: Sometime this week, block out 15–20 minutes to sit down with your partner and talk about one thing: What do we want our relationship to look like next year? Not schedules. Not logistics. Just connection. If starting that conversation feels awkward, Kerri encourages you to share this episode — and tomorrow’s episode… with your partner as an easy, pressure-free way to open the door and start getting aligned. Because big changes don’t start with overhauls… They start with one intentional step. 📣 Come share how this episode helped you with us inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms… because your joy might just inspire another mom to find hers too. ⭐ If this episode gave you a little boost, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Grab Your Freebies! 🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist 💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts 🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity) 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes 🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too 🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care 💻ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms.. simply cut and paste Want to connect with other amazing moms?
