Raise your hand if you’ve ever silently fumed at your loved ones for not meeting your unspoken needs. Too embarrassing to admit it? Don’t be.

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. So, if you’re struggling to cover this base, this special...

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
“Everybody calls me the Unicorn Coach. The reason for this is because I think we all have magic inside of us. I think we forget about that magic and we forget about that ‘unicorn horn’... You are not a horse! You are a unicorn and you have magic within yourself!” [2:48]
“Don’t be afraid of being curious about your intuition; that is one of our superpowers as women. That intuition, that gut feeling, that sixth sense allows us to be very good at reading our environment, at reading danger, at reading behaviors, at reading energies in the room. Then we have two choices — we can let it be an accident or we can take over it and use it with purpose for our benefit.” [7:31]
“The Good Girl Syndrome is a syndrome of how we have been raised, generation after generation, in a patriarchal world where we are [subjected to] the expectation of, ‘I need to be good. I need to be quiet. I need to behave. Nice girls don’t run and get dirty. Nice girls just stay pretty in their dresses, [etc.]’… Every time our phrases start with, ‘I shouldn’t. I can’t. I mustn't’, that is not your own voice. That is the external voice of The Good Girl Syndrome that is taking the power [to decide] from you. [9:20]
“Understand that it’s time for you to stop being a ‘square watermelon’. In Japan they put cubes on top of the fields where the watermelons are growing. A beautiful round watermelon starts growing, but it starts growing in a box, so when it fully grows, it grows into the shape of a cube. I use that analogy because it is easy to remember. [Women] are being ‘square watermelons’ because we are working in a world designed for men, by men. Understand that there is nothing wrong with you, and that those [negative] voices are those ‘square watermelons’ trying to put you in a cube, when you are actually a freakin’ amazing, round, juicy watermelon. Embrace that power and energy.” [17:07]
“Learn to challenge the Good Girl Syndrome: Why are you saying I should not do that? What is the reason behind that? Why do you think that is not a good idea? Because that little voice is good at telling us it’s not a good idea, but as soon as we challenge [we realize] that there is not a lot of support on why that is not a good idea.” [19:47]
“Everytime we find ourselves thinking that we should wait or we shouldn’t do it now because it’s not perfect… stop, laugh, and say, ‘I am not pregnant. This is not my baby, this is not my son. It is not okay to go to labor at 20 weeks, but it is okay to go to labor with this idea even if it is not completely done.’ It will give you the giggles, but it will start rewiring the brain pathways into, ‘It is okay to apply with fifty percent and figure out the other fifty. It is okay. It is not going to be dangerous.” [26:22]
“You can have it all, without doing it all. It’s been centuries of us compromising, sacrificing, choosing, living our life not at the maximum potential, and allowing society and others to control us. It's time for us to take our space, to claim our power back, and say, ‘You’re saying I cannot have it all? That’s a garbage rule! I’m going to throw it away! Because I can have it all, and I can have it all without doing it all.’… I can enjoy the family that I want, with the perfect partner that loves me and respects me, and have a career that makes me feel amazing and brings enough abundance for my family and for me to help others, and to have the health that I want to have energy and feel confident in my body — and it doesn’t have to be painful, it doesn’t have to be hard.” [28:13]
