Hi Mamas, 💛 💛 💛 📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… Grab it today to help set those boundaries with your cell phones and create a little more peace in your days! 💛 💛 💛 It sounds simple… almost too simple for the moment we’re living in. But in today’s episode., we’re slowing things down and sitting with that truth — especially as working moms navigating a world that feels tense, divided, and heavy. This wasn’t the episode I had planned… but after recent events and the emotions many of us are carrying, staying silent didn’t feel right. So today, we’re talking about what love actually looks like in times like these… not as a feeling, but as a daily practice and a form of leadership. Because as moms, we are often the emotional anchors of our homes. And how we respond to the world… shapes how our children see it. In this episode, we explore: Why love is not naïve… it’s grounding and powerful How division strips away compassion, and how we reclaim it The difference between reacting and responding with intention What “loving your neighbor” looks like in everyday moments How our words and behaviors model empathy for our kids Why choosing kindness is an act of strength, not weakness We talk about how love doesn’t mean: Agreeing with everyone Ignoring injustice Pretending everything is fine Instead, real love looks like: Curiosity instead of assumption Listening instead of reacting Humanity before ideology And most importantly… love starts small. In our homes. In our conversations. In how our kids hear us talk about others. This Week’s Gentle Challenge 💛 Take a look around your community and ask yourself: Where is one place I can show more love this week? Not in a grand, overwhelming way — but in a simple, human one. And then… go do it. Because when we choose love in our small corner of the world, it ripples outward.

Sometime today, pause and ask yourself: What do I want more of in my life right now? Not what you need to fix. Not what you should be doing. Just what you’re craving more of. More calm. More clarity. More confidence. More presence. More space. Write it down if you can… or simply notice what comes up. That answer will matter a lot in tomorrow’s episode. 📣 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?

281. Working Mom Mindset: Scheduling Your Priorities

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.

280. Becoming Her: Why Habits Matter More Than Goals For Working Moms Seeking Balance

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.
