You’re not alone! I talk to so many moms who have big dreams for their life, career, and family—but they feel stuck in the “someday” mindset. "Someday, I’ll have more time." "When things settle down, then I’ll go for it." "If this happens, then I’ll finally be able to..." Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️ But here’s the thing… someday isn’t a real plan. It’s a delay tactic.

Hi Mamas, The waitlist is now OPEN!!!  Get your name on there and get a $20 discount!  Join here... Mornings Made Simple Waitlist! 😊☀️ Hey mama, let’s talk about that feeling we all know too well… the one where no matter how hard you try, something always feels like it’s slipping through the cracks. Maybe it’s the never-ending laundry, the unread emails, or the fact that you’ve reheated your coffee three times and still haven’t taken a sip. But here’s the truth: Just because you haven’t figured it out yet doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re learning. And this week’s mindset shift is inspired by a quote from Thomas Edison: 💡 "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." As moms, we juggle a lot… work, family, home, personal goals… and yet, we’re still so quick to beat ourselves up when things don’t go perfectly. But what if instead of seeing setbacks as failures, we saw them as lessons? What if instead of quitting, we tried again… just a little differently? In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into how to reframe “failure” as learning, how to stay consistent with your routines even after a tough week and why investing in mentorship can shortcut your success. 💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is: 1️. Think about one area where you’ve been feeling like you’re “failing.” (Maybe it’s mornings, meal planning, work-life balance, or just keeping up with everything.) 2️. Shift your mindset - remind yourself that you haven’t failed, you’re just figuring out what doesn’t work.  3️. Try again, but differently. Tweak one small thing… ask for help, try a new approach, or let go of what isn’t serving you.💬  I’d love to hear from you!
