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.

info_outline Episode 30: Back-to-School Balance: Routines for Busy MomsHello, 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,...

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?

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...
info_outline Episode 27: Time to Thrive: Bring More Spaciousness Back Into Your LifeHello, 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...
info_outline Episode 26: From FOMO to JOMO: Finding Fulfillment in Missing OutHello, 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...
info_outline Ep. 25 - How To Take Care Of Yourself When Life Gets BusyHello, 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...
info_outline Ep. 24 - Give Yourself Permission To Do YouHello, 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...
info_outline Ep. 23 - Breaking Free: Conquering 3 Sneaky Beliefs Holding You BackHello, Good Life
Let's get real for a sec: how's your faith in yourself holding up on this wild ride we call life?

info_outlineSayonara, 2023! What's up, 2024? We've got a fresh year on our hands (woo-hoo!), and while it's meant to be this kick-butt new beginning, let's be real—it's not always smooth sailing for everyone.
Why? Well, not everyone's got their resolutions all figured out on day 1. And that’s A-OK. You should ease into the year and give yourself some grace. It’s not always about charging full speed ahead.
Some of us are just trying to figure out how to navigate this whole process without feeling like we're in a maze.
Or… like me, trying to make sure I get the kids to each activity while keep my head above the water (or snow, here in Wisconsin).
And hey, if you're feeling a bit stuck in this crazy journey, guess what? You're in good company, and that's totally cool!
The thing is giving it your all isn't always enough when it comes to reaching your goals. First things first, you've got to be on the same wavelength as your dreams and desires.
I get it. I had my own struggles kicking off last year.
But guess what? I found some gentle strategies that will help you turn the page and move closer to knowing what you want to get done and setting yourself up for success with it. And I'm dishing them out in this episode.
Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this—let's spill the beans together!

Quotes
“There's going to come a day where you're going to say, ‘I don't want to work out. I'm good.’ And your brain is going to be like, ‘Yeah, you don't need to do this because we like it where you are right now even if you don't like it where you are––this is where you're safe and this is where we think you need to be.’ When that day comes, recognize that you are essentially having an internal battle with yourself and you will have to push yourself out of that comfort safety zone in order to get to the next level.” [4:48]
“The reason why you should examine your desires first is because our goals tend to be set externally –– we're not setting them based on what we really think that we want.” [6:41]
“Start with one goal and build it into one routine –– one habit stack. For example, I make lunch every single day. In alignment with my health goal, I've incorporated the habit of making a protein shake to accompany my lunch to ensure that I get enough protein each and every day –– that is a habit stack.” [12:42]
