⁠⁠
1. Take the time to truly know your priorities, your desires (goals or outcomes) within those priorities, but also what essential things need to happen to truly achieve that. Be honest with yourself, what is truly needed and what you really want and why⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Make decisions ahead of time based on #1 with how and what you will you spend your time and energy on ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. Clear space in your day, week and life in general for your #2. Really intentionally set time aside for it to get done and have a place in your life.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4. When you plan your day, #1-3 will help you create structure, but flexibility within that structure is what makes being a mom entrepreneur possible. Build in flexibility into your day. (I teach you how to do this)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
5. Even if you do #1-4 perfectly, the thing that will get you every time is the mind drama that comes up when something wants to derail us, the list of "shoulds" starts to play on repeat, or the guilt creeps in. It's the mind drama that keeps us stuck, spinning or unable to be consistent.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Learning the foundational tools to deal with the mind drama in an effective way is key in my opinion. Everything else helps, but that is the glue that keeps it all together.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you want to learn how to do that (as well as go more in depth in creating effective time as a mom entrepreneur) you can get your spot in the 30 Day Balance Reboot and learn just how to do this for yourself in just 30 days.⁠⁠

You ever wanted to figure this out?

Wondering if it’s even possible?

Let me tell you, it totally is.

I help moms running business do this for themselves and get life changing results - in sometimes as little as one afternoon.

Not even trying to toot my own horn here Because it’s not me that does this, I teach them how to do this for themselves.

Their results are simply because they get the opportunity to learn the foundational tools to manage the mental and emotional load of motherhood and entrepreneurship in an easy effective way.

I’m just the teacher and coach.

And now I’m offering an even easier way to learn these things for yourself in just 30 days.

Link to learn more about the 30 Day Balance Reboot can be found in my profile link.

Doors open tomorrow!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🎉🎉

04/22/2021

Believing that you are “supposed” to do it all, “should” do it all or should “be able” to do it all, or even that you “have” to do it all is easily one of the most sneaky destructive beliefs many clients and moms / entrepreneurs everywhere have.

There is no upside.

You’re either feeling terrible because you are failing to meet this expectation or feeling terrible trying to meet this expectation.

Either way- you’re feeling terrible and still not achieving what you want.

We think if we can do it all we will finally feel better.

Like we aren’t failing or that we are successful.

We think we have to wait to think those things about ourselves and feel good about ourselves.

Or we think we need permission to stop doing it all, or someone else to step up and start doing more.

But really the first step is letting go of the expectation and the belief.

Just that alone is going to create more space for you to intentionally choose what and how you spend your time and energy on.

Just what is truly important to you.

Letting go of a deep belief can be hard. Our brains don’t believe it right away.

A good thought to try and replace it with is “it’s possible I don’t have to do all of this”

“It’s possible that all of these things aren’t necessary”

Just start with the possibility...

Managing time is not a thing.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Managing our minds, our emotions and our actions with how WE spend our time is the actual work.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No time sheet or routine alone is gonna do it for you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No cute planner or fancy app either.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You know this if you have tried a bunch of different ways to do something only for it not to last, or not work at all for you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Feeling tons of resistance to the plan that you said you wanted, or feeling scattered and overwhelmed at the lack of direction if you decide planning just isn't for you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's true, there ARE plans that make it easier to manage your mind. But learning how to manage your mind and emotions and honor yourself is still the key to making anything work.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When you do that, you can make anything work for you. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Honestly. Anything.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Then it's just a matter of finding what's easiest for you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I always start my clients off with learning the skill set of directing their mind and processing their thoughts and feelings first.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Then I give them my tried and true framework specifically designed for mom entrepreneurs running their businesses from home.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Because we need a different kind of schedule and ability to be focused, follow through and still have the flexibility needed. And I believe I have combined and tweaked all the good psychology tricks and hacks and guru ideas to find the easiest most complete way of doing that.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And I am going to be offering an easy way for any mom entrepreneur to learn how to do this for themselves in the next couple weeks!⁠⁠

Often times we use our past to determine what we are or aren't capable of.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's where we look to find confidence in something.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our abilities.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Where we make decisions on our future from.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But our past is done. Our past self evolved the very next day.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our past is just a collection of thoughts our current selves are thinking about it.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your past cannot tell you what will come. Or what you can do or cannot do.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If 2020 has taught us anything is that what we think our future will look like may not be anything we could have ever imagined.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's normal that we do this.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our brain uses patterns and already formed neural pathways to inform decision making. It's just being efficient and trying to keep you safe.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It of course wants to find evidence. The only evidence it has is your past. It's the only thing that has already happened.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But everything you have ever done, you have never done before. Until you did.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your brain, left undirected forgets that. Because now it has a long list of things you have learned and done.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But it is still as capable as it was as a baby learning to walk. Or becoming a mother. Or launching a business.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Your future is not determined by your past self.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I want to encourage you to learn the skill of borrowing from your future self and having self- confidence over regular confidence.⁠⁠

Seems counter-intuitive but it really is the answer in many situations.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We unintentionally pile on things because of our thinking.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thinking ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"we have to"⁠⁠
"we should do"⁠⁠
"we need to"⁠⁠
"they said I should /need to"⁠⁠
"no one else will do it"⁠⁠
" I'm the only who does it right"⁠⁠
"this is too important"⁠⁠
"other people take too long"⁠⁠
"this person does" ⁠⁠
"I should be able to"⁠⁠
"it has to be done"⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our list of things to do or expectations grows with each thought.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How do you combat this?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Also with your thinking.⁠⁠

There is nothing wrong with creating free time for yourself⁠⁠
⁠⁠
or resting⁠⁠
⁠⁠
or saying no to something⁠⁠
⁠⁠
or delegating⁠⁠
⁠⁠
or spending your time and energy intentionally.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Staying busy is not the sign of success or value.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Avoiding ourselves by staying busy or pushing ourselves to the point of burn out to try and achieve something is what will break you.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can learn a little more on how you can open yourself to taking a break if you need it or even before you need it without the guilt or falling behind on your to do list on my podcast:⁠⁠

You are allowed to say no to expectations.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You are allowed to say no to new fads, trends or platforms.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You are allowed to say no to the client that just isn't a good fit.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You are allowed to say no to business models that don't work for you⁠⁠
⁠⁠
parenting styles that don't align with you⁠⁠
⁠⁠
advice given ( even if you asked for it)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
you are even allowed to say no to yourself.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No when you want to quit, or give in.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No when you want to make something harder on yourself later by avoiding it right now.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can so no to the hustle and the grind.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And you know what?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can say "NO" and still be wildly successful (in fact you may find that you are more so)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
you can still be an amazing mom, wife, woman...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
and you just might find that saying no makes you more of the person that you truly want to be. ♥️⁠⁠

It seems pretty straightforward right?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Yet so many mom entrepreneurs start off with this as the main reason they choose to build businesses from home, only to be overwhelmed scratching their heads wondering where it all went wrong.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When did they lose themselves to demands of being a mom and a business owner.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When did the two worlds merge together in an inter twined mess of non stop meeting of demands and to-do lists?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When did the mental and emotional load become unbearable and exhausting?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When did it start where all you do is "do" and somehow it still never seems to be "enough" There is still something that fell through the cracks or left unattended.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And it seems the message and answer is " you need to do more if you want to be..." fill in the blank⁠⁠
⁠⁠
successful⁠⁠
a good mom⁠⁠
for your kids to be healthy and happy⁠⁠
for your business to thrive, grow or scale⁠⁠
hit your revenue goal⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's okay if you find yourself here and didn't really ever want to be.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I can help you get your dream back of raising your family and your business with the flexibility and ease that you dreamed of. With the income you desire. With the time you thought you would have. To spend how you want, not how others demand of it from you.⁠⁠

Boundaries are so important.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But many people don't have them in place or really even truly understand what a real boundary is.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Hint: It's not telling someone they need to respect and honor your boundary.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That's not a boundary. That is a request. That you have no control over whether or not they honor it.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You are still at their mercy and so are your emotions and time. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Want to learn what a true boundary is and how to use them in our lives and businesses to better love and serve those we care about?⁠⁠

A real conversation I had. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
" Well, I am really good at putting things in my phone calendar... I just forget to look at my calendar."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
😆 I'm willing to bet you've been able to relate to that once or twice. I think we all can.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Just get going on your day and lose track of time or direction.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Reacting to whatever comes up.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I know I used to. 🙋‍♀️⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No ones systems or scheduling or hacks seemed to work for all the areas that I needed to account for as a mom running a business from home.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Structure, but with flexibility. Commitment with compassion.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So I tweaked and combined the best of the best systems and scheduling tips from the entrepreneur gurus and created my own. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Specifically for mom entrepreneurs.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Sprinkle in some of the best mindset tools out there and we've got ourselves a tailor made system for success.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Being effective, efficient and enjoying it in the process. With plenty of time for myself and quality family time.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you want to learn how to do this, like many mom entrepreneurs already have- DM me to chat.

It's not you. Or your abilities. It's your thinking.⁠⁠

What you think you could or SHOULD be able to do in any given time.
⁠⁠
And you aren't alone.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
All or nothing cycles, lofty expectations and over-estimating our short term are all normal and common cycles mom and especially entrepreneurs find themselves in.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Good news.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can change your thinking.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You are cut out for this. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Come check out the Balanced and Free Mom Boss Podcast as dive into gaining some awareness as to why we do this and what we can do about it.

Each episode is
designed specifically for mom entrepreneurs.⁠⁠
