Hi Mamas, This week’s Monday Mindset is for every mom bracing for the whirlwind of back-to-school season... the papers, the schedules, the sports practices, the 17 back-to-school emails… and the emotional rollercoaster of watching your babies grow up way too fast. Whether you’re clinging to the last days of summer or counting down to routine and quiet coffee, this episode is your invitation to shift how you respond to change… with less resistance and more intention. We’re anchoring this week’s reset with one powerful Chinese proverb: 💭 “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls… and others build windmills.” In today’s episode, I’m diving into: ✔️ What to do when change feels like too much too fast ✔️ How to stop resisting the chaos and start using it to your advantage ✔️ Real-life examples of setting boundaries, letting go of perfection, and building support ✔️ How to know which expectations are worth holding—and which you can release ✔️ Why adapting with grace doesn’t mean giving up—it means getting smarter 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: ✅ Ask yourself: Where am I building walls right now? Is it in your schedule? Your relationships? Your mindset? ✅ Then ask: What would it look like to build a windmill instead? Could you shift your routine? Release an expectation? Ask for help? Set a boundary? ✅ Extra credit: Revisit Episode 125 (Build Your Village) and Episode 238 (Glass vs. Rubber Balls) to help support you as you ride the winds of this season. Mama, back-to-school season doesn’t have to knock you down. You were made for change. You were built for the wind. So take a deep breath, adjust your sails, and remember… you’ve got this. 💪 📣 Come share your mindset shift in our free Facebook community, Work-Life Balance for Working Moms  .

This discussion dives into the chaos of juggling motherhood and work. The metaphor of 'glass balls' versus 'rubber balls' highlights how to prioritize tasks that truly matter. It encourages listeners to embrace imperfection and set boundaries for their peace. Tips for identifying urgent tasks and letting go of less critical ones provide relief. Ultimately, it's an empowering reminder that it's okay to pause and breathe amidst the juggling act of life.

Hi Mamas, This week, we’re kicking things off with a quote that hits deep in the heart of every busy, high-achieving, working mom who’s ever wondered if she’s doing enough or being enough: 💭 “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.” — Sophia Bush Read that again. Let it sink in. Because this episode is your weekly permission slip to let go of the pressure to “arrive” and instead honor the process you’re in… yes, even the hard, uncertain, tear-streaked parts. Inside This Episode, We Talk About: ✔️ Why moms feel pressure to do it all and hold it all together ✔️ What it really means to live in the tension of gratitude + overwhelm ✔️ How faith, healing, and trusting the process can turn your mess into your message ✔️ A powerful mindset challenge to help you release guilt and walk with grace this week Whether you're hiding in your minivan for 5 minutes of peace or folding laundry while refereeing toddler debates over who looked at who first—this episode will remind you that you’re doing better than you think… and you are not alone. 💛 Weekly Mindset Challenge: This isn’t just feel-good inspiration… it’s a practical, soul-nourishing exercise you can do right now: Write down one area of your life where you feel like a work in progress. (Marriage? Finances? Patience? Health? Yep, all of the above is valid.) Underneath it, write: “God’s not finished here. And I don’t have to have it all together to be worthy today.” (Or change “God” to whatever source of strength and faith feels aligned for you.) Say a prayer, affirmation, or intention. Ask for guidance, peace, and strength for the journey. ✨ You don’t have to wait until you’ve got it all figured out to be proud of who you are today. ✨ 📢 Want to go deeper? Join our free Facebook group: Work-Life Balance for Working Moms  …a space for ambitious women juggling all the hats to get support, laugh about the chaos, and be reminded: you’re doing important work… even on the days it feels like a hot mess.   ⭐ If this episode gave you a pep in your step, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Hi Mamas, This week’s episode is for every mom who’s ever stayed stuck in a loop of “what ifs,” replaying every scenario until your brain’s spinning like your toddler on a sugar high. We’re digging into a quote that might just shake you out of indecision and into aligned action: 💭 “Indecision steals more dreams than wrong decisions ever will.” — Danielle LaPorte Whether you’re second-guessing a big move, a tiny step, or what to order off the takeout menu… this mindset drop is your permission slip to just choose. Because not deciding? That’s still a decision… and usually not the one your future self will thank you for. 💛 This Week’s Mindset Challenge: ✅ Pick one decision you’ve been putting off. Big or small… it all counts. (Think: family vacation, saying no to that draining invite, starting that gym membership…) ✅ Ask yourself these three questions: • What would I do if I trusted myself completely? • If I couldn’t fail, what would I choose? • Which decision gets me closer to the life I’m trying to build? ✅ Then… DECIDE. Rip the Band-Aid. Set a deadline. Take the first step. You can always pivot—but you can’t build momentum standing still. 📣 And don’t keep it to yourself… come tell us inside our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms what decision you’re making this week so we can celebrate and support you! 🎉   ⭐ If this episode gave you a pep in your step, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Block time on your calendar—even if it’s just two hours—to be fully disconnected from work. ✅ Choose presence over productivity. Put the laptop away. Skip the “quick reply.” Be all in for bedtime stories, messy board games, or whatever joy the day brings. ✅ Anchor yourself in a better memory.
