If you’re ending one year exhausted and quietly hoping the next one will feel different… you’re not alone.

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.

279. Working Mom Mindset: Why Your Habits Matter More Than Your Goals

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.

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.

If you’ve ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you.

You’ll also learn how to identify whether you’re being called to stay, stretch, or shift in this next season… and how to move forward without pressure, guilt, or overwhelm.
🎯 What We Cover in This Episode
✨ The subtle signs you’re living in career survival mode✨ Why questioning your career doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful✨ The difference between climbing intentionally vs. burning out✨ How time management creates career freedom (at work and at home)✨ A simple decision-making framework: Stay, Stretch, or Shift✨ Why clarity… not urgency… is the key to your next step

277. Working Mom Mindset: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There - Career Clarity & Growth

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 this year and prepare to step into a new one, today’s Monday Mindset is all about reflection, growth, and permission.
We’re continuing our Becoming Her series, and this week we’re focusing on your career… whether that means growing where you are, stepping into leadership, or beginning to question what’s next.
Today’s quote sets the tone for this powerful in-between season:
“What got you here won’t get you there.”  - Marshall Goldsmith
This quote isn’t a judgment of where you are… it’s an invitation. An invitation to recognize that the habits, beliefs, and patterns that helped you survive one season may not be the same ones that will help you thrive in the next.
In this episode, we talk about:✨ Why feeling called to grow doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful✨ How survival habits can quietly keep you stuck✨ Why awareness… not action… is the most important first step✨ How to release guilt around wanting more✨ What it really means to become the next version of you
This is a gentle reminder that you’re not behind, broken, or starting over—you’re evolving.
Monday Mindset Challenge
This week, take 10 quiet minutes and reflect on this question:
What is one habit, belief, or pattern that got me “here”… but might not take me where I want to go next?
Maybe it’s:• Overcommitting• Avoiding hard conversations• Saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment• Waiting for permission instead of trusting yourself
You don’t need to fix it this week.You don’t even need to change it yet.
Just notice it.
Because awareness is always the first step toward alignment.

Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today!
If you and your spouse have spent more time talking about groceries, carpool, or who’s unloading the dishwasher than anything else, this episode is for you.
In part three of our Becoming Her series, we’re diving into the partner you want to be in 2026… and how to reconnect beyond the to-do list.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:✨ How to shift from logistics to love (and why it’s easier than you think)✨ The underrated “sixth love language”… time management✨ Simple daily habits that rebuild emotional connection✨ How to protect your partnership from burnout✨ And why the best kind of date nights don’t require babysitters or fancy restaurants
This one’s part pep talk, part marriage reset, and part reminder that your relationship deserves to be nurtured… even in busy seasons.

275. Working Mom Mindset: How Busy Working Moms Can Strengthen Their Marriave Without More Time

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.
