Success With MRS - You Were Meant for More

Had a blast up at !! It’s been moments like these over the past few weeks that really bring clarity to what’s important to my life now… my family!

Not working through our kids younger years because “they won’t remember” is common advice that I’m totally against. It’s in these younger years that much of our programming, and who we will be in life, is formed.

It’s these young years that they develop their sense of trust, security, esteem, etc. Its now that their brain either feels safe enough to grow and develop or goes into survival mode.

And not only that, these are the precious years you just can’t get back. There is a magic in these first few years that I embrace and enjoy … hearing all the cute new sayings, watching all the joy and curiosity they experience daily, and all the sweet squishy cuddles. I just love it!

I’m always here to be transparent about the tough choices and moments we struggle through…

As driven as I am to succeed, I’m in this season of life and my choices are going to revolve around my goals for motherhood and my kids. Simple as that. It’s not that easy, but it is simple.

And when I look back, I’m anchoring to the belief that I’m making decisions I won’t regret by prioritizing my family.

You can have it all, but it’s going to look different in different seasons of life. And it may look different for you than it does for me, because we’re on our own journeys.

All this to say, be ok with exactly where you are and be clear on what’s important to YOU. Because the days go fast… live them with intention ✨

Do you already feel like you’re behind in 2023??

I’ve talked to so many moms and they are all feeling overwhelmed, the holidays were crazy, they didn’t get to slow down, they don’t know what they want…

And suddenly it’s Jan 9th and everyone already feels like they’re behind, they’re back in the same autopilot of 2022.

Take a breath!

You don’t have to live your life so rigidly…

Slow down this month!

Set goals this month!

Any day is a good day to make a decision and go after something you want.

Life isn’t cookie cutter and linear, believe me I know…

So stop putting so much pressure on yourself!!! This is probably your biggest self-sabotaging habit… break it in 2023 >>> take a breath, be grateful, start today ✨

I’m so grateful that I’ve learned to slow down and lean into the little moments that make life so precious.

And you can too!

It’s a decision that I’ve made to be more present and intentional in my life. And that decision is backed by daily action, it’s a practice.

It’s never too late, and you’re exactly where you need to be.

Cheers to 2023… the possibilities are endless 🥂

Strong Girls… Strong World ✨

That’s what Dalena’s shirt says.

But what does it mean to be strong?

We’re being raised to be strong and independent, but, as with all things, there’s a flip side to being strong and independent… thinking that you have to and should be able to do everything yourself.

I’ve talked to a lot of my clients this week, and I see how hard they’re being on themselves, to be better…

And I’ve been facing my own challenges lately (bc life will always present them) and although negative thoughts pop up automatically, at least I’m aware that being hard on myself, blaming, shaming, judging and worrying just do not serve me.

And I’m so happy and proud to face life with a stronger, more faithful and powerful mentality… and it makes me wonder, how do we really want to define “strong” for our girls (and boys)???

Does it mean do everything yourself? I haven’t met anyone successful and fulfilled and at peace that is a one man band.

So how can we raise our daughters to be strong without having to feel alone or grow up to be women who feel less than enough???

What do you think??

I can’t tell you how excited I am to see Amanda out there absolutely killing it in her real estate business, rocking motherhood, and setting boundaries to protect her peace! So grateful for clients who put in the work and change their lives… she’ll never even be fully aware of the positive impact that her dedication to her development will have in her home and community!!! You’re an inspiration Amanda Carter, Realtor, EXP Realty!!! 💗✨

Per usual, I’m multi-tasking and recording another rambling video from the car. I swear @successwithmrs got me more organized than this 😜 Seriously though - her program has had such a profound impact on my life….I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re a working mom…you need to schedule a discovery call with Marilynn! The number one reason why I believe I thrived in her program is her RELATABILITY! We all scroll through our feeds and let out a little chuckle when we see a meme or reel that resonates with us and highlights the struggle juggle of working + motherhood….that’s what her program feels like the entire time! With a hybrid program of individual and group coaching, it’s the perfect balance of personal attention and being able to share and learn from our peers. TALK TO HER 👉🏼 @successwithmrs you won’t regret it♥️

I’ve been a little MIA…

The kids have been sick and being a mom comes first 💗✨

Tis the season… how are you all doing with sick kiddos at home??

I know when the kids get sick it can feel really hard… especially when you’re tired or you’re sick yourself because you still have all of work and life’s responsibilities and now the kids need even more from you, more time, more energy…

It can be really easy to lose your cool with all the fussing or crying… not because you’re actually mad, because you’re overstimulated and overwhelmed!

It’s normal!

Just take a deep breath mama, when you feel the sting of guilt from freaking out or yelling or however the impatience and exhaustion shows up, just say sorry and let it be a reminder to you and a lesson to your kids that you need a recharge. Prioritize it!!!

You don’t have to sit in the pain, just use it as a signal that you’re overextended and solve that!

And do your best to remind yourself that your kids aren’t doing this to you. I know you know they aren’t, but sometimes it can be really helpful to just remind yourself in these moments that you’re grateful to be present to take care of them…

it may sound silly but it really can change the energy behind taking care of them!

I’m rooting for you, mama! You got this!

Who am I really?

This is a question I’ve allowed myself to finally ask over the past couple years 🙌🙌

For as long as I can remember I’ve never been asking myself this, I’ve been wondering who others wanted me to be?

Who did I need to be to be liked and accepted?

That was something I learned along the way… to be what people needed me to be.

As I’ve learned this and embraced my truth it has empowered me to let this lil bug be whoever she is… to live in her truth and express herself!

I’ve never questioned if she wanted to wear cheetah pants and a unicorn dress…

She gets to be who she is!

I’m not a perfect mom, I have room to grow, and some days I say sorry… but I am present and aware and seeking progress every day, and that’s all I’m ever going to ask of myself!

Well, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃 ❤️

Here we are, Sunday evening, after a wonderful few slow days of feasting and rest 🙌

As bedtime closes in, I’m so grateful to be able to fill our table with delicious food and share it with great friends 🙏💗✨

Over the past few years I’ve learned how to really be grateful and how to focus on all that there is to be grateful for…

To focus on progress and to always remember how far I’ve come and how much I have.

Sure beats the relentless pressure I always used to put on myself to be further ahead, and the guilt and shame that accompanied it!!!

I hope you this post reminds you that you can always be grateful, all year round, and it will always bring more blessings and happiness into your life ✨

BLACK FRIDAY!!!!

I’ve been reflecting just as much as I’m sure you are this holiday season…

I find myself grateful for the moments I spend with my kids. All the playgrounds, building towers, naming monster trucks, all the bubble baths and bedtime cuddles.

I’m grateful to be present and in the moment for all of that… I’m so aware of it that I am grateful for it everyday.

And Im grateful that I’m not worried about the laundry if it piles up, bc my priority is spending time with my kids.

And I’m grateful that I’m not worried about the toys left on the floor, bc my priority is taking a moment for myself and catching up with my husband.

And so I realize what I’m most grateful for is the day where I decided to not accept struggle and self-sacrifice as the theme of my life anymore!!!

And it is my greatest honor and privilege to now be empowering other moms to do the exact same thing…

To reclaim their power and confidence so that they can show up as the woman, mom, wife, and leader/boss they can be proud of… and enjoy their lives again, right now!

So I’m making it even easier to work with me and make these changes in your own life. If you’re ready to discover a better way to be both a mom and a boss, to embrace your truth and live more authentically, and to absolutely love being a mom and love how you show up for your family, then I’ll make it a little easier to work with me too… up to 33% off to work with me and change your life!

Going down memory lane looking for a picture to celebrate my mom on her birthday today…

Thanks for always reminding me how important family is, for always always always being my number 1 supporter, and for giving me my two best friends 💗

As a mom, I try sometimes to put myself in your shoes and I don’t know if I could have done what you did for us… I really don’t!?

You were fearless and relentless!!! Thanks for giving us everything we ever needed!

I hope you have the most amazing birthday! I couldn’t love and appreciate you more than I do!!!

🥳😘🥳😘

Gratitude ✨

I asked Dalena if she had any “stuffies” that we could donate today for kids that don’t have anything…

She said yep! And ran into her room and grabbed all of these.

Im so grateful to have enough to give, and to be see that the concept of generosity is being developed in our home 💗

So proud of her, all the time, everyday!!!

💙✨

I just can’t express my gratitude enough for my kids… the love they fill my heart with… the experiences we share and the memories we make…

AND… the personal growth and healing they inspire ✨

Becoming a mom FINALLY took my people pleasing, over achieving, and self sacrifice too far… I finally said enough is enough and began a journey into mindset that I wasn’t aware was a journey of self love and healing…

And that investment into myself, my well being and my self discovery, have allowed me to be a woman who can stand in her truth and a mom that is fully present and soaking in all the beautiful moments, big & small!

I have never spent a single moment regretting the decision to take better care of myself… it’s been a blessing for myself and it’s also the best thing I could have ever done for my family 🙏

If you ever feel like you are missing out on your life, too scared to say no or to live authentically, or that work is taking more from you than it gives… I’d highly encourage you to look within.

Our lives are what we make of them…

YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

YOU CAN CHANGE ANYTHING!
