Well, I've starred in this drama more times than I care to admit, and let me tell you… Being busy doesn’t excuse you from being responsible for your own life, including the changes you crave.

Episode 30: Back-to-School Balance: Routines for Busy Moms
Hello, Good Life
Ah yes, September is almost here, a.k.a back-to-school season for our kiddos–no big deal, right, sis? Screams internally While it's obviously exciting for us busy moms to anticipate another year of learning and growth for our "tiny" humans, the looming reality of getting back to a structured routine after months of summer fun is–let's face it–scarier than realizing you've forgotten to do your skincare routine for a week. But does navigating this shift have to be that dreadful? Well, from my experience, not if you're able to cover a few critical bases. I'm talking setting SMART goals,...

Episode 29: Implementing the TIME Method for Busy Moms
Hello, Good Life
Have you ever imagined what it’s like to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope? Yeah, that's pretty much what balancing business, mama duties, and self-care feels like most days, am I right? Talk about drowning in to-do lists, feeling guilty about screen time (yours and the kiddos), and wondering if "balance" is just a myth – all on a regular basis. I can still remember the amount of times I wanted to tear my hair out when I was caught in this struggle. Now that I’m able to navigate my way through it, I feel compelled to share my strategy with you. Enter the 'TIME...

Episode 28: Creating A Summer Routine That Works For You
Hello, Good Life
Just like that, summertime is officially in full swing, mamas! For our kiddos, this is obviously a dream come true. For us? Well, if you’re a busy entrepreneur like me who’s usually tied to a delicate daily routine, this time of the year can only mean one thing – CHAOS! From our sleep, wake-up, and work times to our daily personal and family activities, every bit of our usual gets shaken up, ultimately putting us at risk of constantly feeling like we’re one melted popsicle away from a full-on meltdown. But you know what? It doesn’t have to be this way! Because having your summer cake...

Episode 27: Time to Thrive: Bring More Spaciousness Back Into Your Life
Hello, Good Life
Can I get a "hell yeah" if your daily hustle has you stretched thinner than flat tummy laxative tea? Juggling the never-ending demands of work and family can make true "me time" feel like an unattainable luxury. But here's the hard truth: Constantly putting your well-being on the back burner is a one-way ticket to your own personal burnout city. And trust me, you don't want those stamps in your passport! I get it. Self-care can easily fall to the bottom of the priority list when you're being pulled in a million directions. But making space to rejuvenate your cup is the key to showing up as...

Episode 26: From FOMO to JOMO: Finding Fulfillment in Missing Out
Hello, Good Life
Raise your hand if you've ever felt the fear of missing out (FOMO) creep in… You know that nagging voice that says you "should" be doing more, seeing more, and achieving more? That gnawing feeling that your life is somehow incomplete if you're not constantly chasing the next hot thing? As an ambitious woman juggling it all, FOMO can hit hard. You see those "perfect" stories on social media and start doubting your own path. Before you know it, you’re saying "YES" to everything out of desperation not to miss a single opportunity. As someone who used to be plagued with...

Ep. 25 - How To Take Care Of Yourself When Life Gets Busy
Hello, Good Life
Sometimes life can be REALLY busy. It feels like we are always on the go. Like there is never enough time. That you always have SOMETHING to do. I feel this in my bones. There are always deadlines, responsibilities and things that fall through the cracks that you need to go fishing for. Between my family, kid’s schedules, travel, work and trying to get in some “me” time - it feels like there’s hardly a moment to catch my breath. Even just typing this up, I feel stress in my core around this. I used to feel like there was just never enough time. Never enough...

Ep. 24 - Give Yourself Permission To Do You
Hello, Good Life
Think back to when you were little and needed your parent’s permission for everything. Maybe you felt frustrated, or even rebellious, at the thought of having to keep asking for permission. Maybe it turned you into thinking that you need to get permission in other areas of life now that you’re an adult? And now the irony sets in. Because now, you STILL find yourself seeking permission more than ever! And it’s not just from your parents, or about the little things. From the way that you act to how you feel, it’s as if you need permission from others first before...

Quotes
“Our hormones do start to change. Even in our 20’s some hormones start to drop and in our 30's and then even more in our 40’s and 50’s. But really what happens is that most of us change. We start to move less. We also tend to exercise less. And a lot of us also tend to eat the same or even more because our lives get more stressful. So there’s a lot of compounding factors, but really most of these are within our range of lifestyle changes that we can change.” [3:17]
“Figure out how you can move more. Whether that’s you have an alarm that goes off and every hour you get up and walk for 5 minutes in your house to take a break. Or maybe going out for an intentional walk in the evening, maybe in the evening. Figure out how you can move your body more because that's what they meant to do. It also helps our body feel better.” [9:55]
“Figure out how you can start getting some strength training a little bit every day, maybe a few times a week. Figure out how it can work in your schedule and how you stay consistent. Because when you start to build muscle mass your metabolism increases. So the more muscle you have the more calories you burn.” [10:53]
“We want to make sure we’re shifting more towards whole foods, getting fiber, and getting enough protein. Protein will help stabilize our blood sugar instead of getting on that blood sugar roller coaster.” [13:30]
Take a step-by-step approach. You don’t have to do all this at once. Think of that, what is that one thing you can start with these next couple of weeks to start to shift towards a healthier you. Because our health is a journey. You're not going to solve it in a month or two by using some fad diet. You really have to take a long-term approach here and be patient, and kind with yourself, but figure out a way to keep adjusting along the way so can you keep moving forward.[14:04]
“Really take the time to notice how your body’s feeling. A lot of people when they start moving, exercising, eating a little better, they just feel better. And it's like a general word, but I hear it all the time. I just feel better. And you probably do. Tune into what that ‘feel better’ means. Write it, say it, share it. Keep noticing each week, because that's what's going to keep you motivated to keep moving forward.” 23:35
