Hi, I’m Kerri! I’m a wife, mom of 3, and a recovering perfectionist who spent years saying “yes” to everything… except myself.

174. Monday Mindset: Unlock Your Potential - How Visualizing Your Future Self Can Transform Your Life

Hi Mamas, In today’s episode, we’re diving into the powerful concept of seeing your future self. Inspired by a quote gifted to me by my dear friend and former coach, Allison Reynolds, this mindset shift has been a cornerstone of my personal growth. Your future self isn’t some far-off dream; she’s created by the choices you make every day. We’ll talk about what it means to envision the version of you who has achieved her dreams and how to start making small, intentional changes to align your actions with your aspirations. I’ll also challenge you to spend 10 minutes this week visualizing your future self and taking one step toward her. 💖 My challenge for you this week mamas is: Take 10 minutes to sit down with a journal, a piece of paper, or even the notes app on your phone. Write out a description of your future self. What does she look like? How does she feel? What does her day look like? What are her priorities? Once you’ve written it down, choose one small action you can take this week to bring yourself closer to her. Just one. I'd love to hear to celebrate the task you get done this week!

172. Mindset Reset: Stop Burying Your Dreams: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Growing Your Passion

Hi Mamas, I’ve always been drawn to quotes—the kind that stop you in your tracks and make you think. This week’s quote is one that hit me right in the feels: “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” 🌱 It’s not just a Mexican proverb—it’s a powerful reminder of resilience, growth, Overcoming Self-Doubt and Growing Your Passionand refusing to let anything or anyone (including ourselves) hold us back. Today, I’m getting real about how we sometimes bury our own passions. Yes, it’s easy to blame external forces, but what about when we’re the ones holding ourselves back, telling ourselves our dreams are impractical, impossible, or just not the right time? I’ll share how this quote resonated with me on a deeply personal level, especially as a working mom balancing the demands of family, career, and my passion for helping other moms like you. I’ll also unpack the importance of letting those buried dreams see the light and why it’s never too late to nurture that “seed” inside you. 💖 My challenge for this week mamas is: Take five minutes today to reflect on your passion—what’s the one thing that lights you up inside when you think about it? Write it down. Then, take one small action toward that passion. It could be as simple as researching a course, starting a journal, or just sharing your dream with someone you trust. When you’re ready, head over to our Facebook group, Work-Life Balance For Working Moms, and share your passion and your first step with us. I can’t wait to cheer you on!
