177. Mindset Reset: Making Resolutions Stick - How Working Moms Can Achieve Their Dreams

Hi Mamas,
Did you know that 64% of people abandon their health and fitness goals by the end of January? Shocking, right? But it doesn’t have to be that way for you! In this episode, we’re diving into this quote:
“A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” by Greg Reid.
And I’ll be sharing why most goals fail and the simple, actionable steps you can take to turn your dreams into reality. From planning with intention to breaking down your goals into manageable steps, you’ll leave this episode feeling empowered to take action and stay the course. Plus, I share my personal goal-setting journey, including how I’m tackling my own health and fitness goals this year.

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! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it and you can help inspire other moms, just like you.

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!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into those sneaky little time wasters that steal our productivity, joy, and peace as busy moms. You know the ones I’m talking about—procrastination, overcommitting, poor planning, and let’s not forget perfectionism (ugh, guilty as charged!).

Whether you’re rocking it in your corporate role or navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, these tips are going to help you reclaim your time and focus on what truly matters.

170. Mindset Reset: Procrastination: Why It Makes Life Harder & How To Break The Cycle

Hi Mamas,
This month, we’re focusing on creating time and space in your life to prioritize what truly lights you up. In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest time wasters—procrastination. Inspired by Mason Cooley’s quote, “Procrastination makes easy things hard, and hard things harder,” we’ll break down why we procrastinate, the hidden costs, and practical tips to overcome it.
💖 My challenge for this week mamas is:
 Pick one thing you’ve been procrastinating on—just one—and get it done. Start small if you need to. Once you’ve finished, take a moment to celebrate. Notice how much lighter you feel without that task hanging over your head. And then, let that momentum carry you into tackling the next thing.
I'd love to hear to celebrate the task you get done this week! Head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it and you can help inspire other moms, just like you.
